1 thing is for sure, people will definitely be killed lol. This is not a love story. " Romance " is not in the Genre(s)
Cause romance doesn’t showed it yet. Describing genre is early.
What do you thinks gonna happen? Lol Seungho is magically going to become a saint and him and Na-kyum are going to ride off into the sunset? Thats not how character and plot development work honey. Everything you need to know about the type of story this is has already been revealed. Whats going to happen in the story has already started to be foreshadowed.
I am not telling it thay way. They will not change magically and story will always goes with abuse like killing stalking. But it doesn’t mean they will not feel love. They can be in toxic rel and their romance can be different than sweet romance. Semes are may stay as a selfish bastard. But it doesn’t mean they will not feel something. You should think everything apart. Romance doesn’t need to connect with “rightfulness”, “sweet”. Romance is just feeling. Romance can be selfish. Romance can be illustrated different from “normal sweet romance”. I think you just read too much shoujo.
I'm not saying love isn't involved. We already have one character, Na-kyum, who has admitted to being in love with his former teacher, and its obvious that Seungho is falling in "love" with Na-kyum in his own twisted way. That doesn't make this or it doesn't mean this will be a romantic story. You can have characters who are in love in a story but it doesn't mean that story with be a romance or be romantic.
Choosing 1 :
As more chap updating surely the plot will developing and there should be reasons for ml to change and falls inlove(of course our uke too ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~)
Choosing 5 :
Fish him (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Bruuuuuuhhhhh if that happens I’m fully behind you (╬￣皿￣)凸 but... I don’t think Seungho would cut his hand off... and In Hun can just die. I shall call him In Ho from now on. (︶︿︶)＝凸
For sure there is gonna be a story about why yoon is the hot godly abs sex addicted asshole he is and try to make readers feel sad that he went through that, but like it doesnt excuse him raping our poor innocent NK. Not at all. Inhun is going to pimp NK out to Lord Yoon cause he doesn't have any remorse for other them himself heck maybe NK kills him before Yoon does if he finds out inhun wants to pimp NK out. I do agree that the story is not a happy ending one. I predict based on Lord Yoon' s sexual activity he is gonna die first if not from a lovers quarrel with the other guy he has been sleeping with NK might kill the guy I mean idk just putting it out there as a possibility out of the trillions. NK is the main character so he will not die. I hope he gradually becomes this awesome badass who owns his sexuality, forgets inhun because he can get any man he wants, and is a highly prestigious painter. Or you know my predictions are wrong and they possibly all die like everyone like a Shakespeare play?
You said romance not romantic
And if semes will fall for Nakyum. They will express their feelings somehow. Probably it can be mixed with too much abuse or jealous and some rare kindness. Even little scene can be described romantic scene. Abuse and hate can’t hide some good scenes. Good, kind, romantic scene always be “good, kind, romantic scene”. Even though other scenes are abusive.
Ugh, i don't think my kokoro will ever be ready for whatever tragedy is yet to come.
Author could also take the Hidoku Shinaide route but it looks like she has a fucked up story plotted out that she will see to the end. She obviously is not the type to sugar coat an unhealthy relationship so this will be a very tough read as we all suspected from the first moment we saw Seungho’s batshit crazy eyes. Na-Kyum is especially innocent, vulnerable and there is such an inherent power imbalance in every aspect of his relationship with Seungho that this is going to be really tough to read. At the same time, I do not want the author to sugarcoat how messed up their relationship is.
Let's discuss possible endings for this manhwa, because every possible outcome will hurt in my opinion:
OPTION 1: THEY END UP TOGETHER.
- doesn't make sense
- stockholm syndrome-esque vibes
- very very unhealthy and toxic
OPTION 2: THEY DON'T END UP TOGETHER.
- NK can live happily and free (yay)
- However, Seungho is left alone, just like he's always been. Sexcapades are reduced because of the rumors that he slept with a peasant.
- Seungho will always secretly long for NK because it's obvi he caught some feelings mate
- unrequited love
OPTION 3: SEUNGHO DIES
- dude may be an asshole but he's an asshole i love m8
- imagine seungho dying and just clutching nakyum so close because he's the only one he ever actually came close to loving hory sheet
- but in the end, NK will never really love him, even during his final moments (oh god)
OPTION 4: NAKYUM DIES
- dude
- dUDE
- this'll probably drive seungho even more into his insanity and live even more emptily
- saddest ending
OPTION 5: INHUN DIES
- well.... fuckin finally
EITHER WAY, I really dont see this manhwa ending well.... Be prepared my kokoro, it's gun be a wild ride.
