Disappointed

Biss October 9, 2020 3:49 pm

I guess it's going to be really unpopular opinion but I have to say I really start to appreciate KS. Although Sangwoo got some sad backstory too it wasn't portrayed in the way to make readers super sympathetic towards him or to justify his actions (or to minimise his wrongdoings).

I seriously had big, really big expectations towards this story and I'm just disappointed? It's the same yaoi cliché trope but set in different times to give even a bigger excuse to ML's abusive behaviour. I seriously hoped that Seungho will stay dark character and the story will have much heavier, sinister atmosphere. And here we go again. Him falling in love, implications which should make us even more sympathetic towards him: suicidal tendencies, self destructive behaviour, tragic past....
So everyone will forgive and forget (or even justify) the way Yoon treated his servants or how he mistreated Nakyum.

Another disappointment for me is the fact that it's implied that the feelings start to be mutual. I hoped at least the process would be much slower and more complicated than Yoon being the worst person in NK's life (beside Inhun) but also someone who threw him shreds of kindness here and there and it was enough for Nakyum to fall for him.

    But it’s the author’s story that’s her characters and they feel what she wants them to feel. You can’t force them to feel/ not feel what you want lol

    Not necessarily, we don't know what's going to happen. Not every plot has to follow that format.

    Tbh you are right because KS is more of psychological thriller with BL elements and PoTN historical erotica but still you can find some similarities between the characters and the stories being on more darked side.

    Not gonna lie I still felt bad for Sangwoo. Like his life was actually seriously messed up. But you are right I didn't justify all the horrible stuff he did and how the story ended was for the best. Boy had no redemption, no matter what he was never going to change. And that's just something the author was really good at. Being consistent. And until the end it made it clear that SW never loved Bum. Bum was just a proxy for the real target of SW's "affections" and trauma.

    But I'm not saying anything that they should change the story or anything. Just my feelings about it.

    Dark characters are really intriguing but it has never sit well with me to justify their actions.

    Yes I really appreciated it ended they way it did.
    It was really refreshing and I was impressed it didn't end up with them being "lovey dovey" and personalities turning about 180 degree.

    Maybe we will be surprised positively...but to this point it follows the same trope.

    the male lead is very much eye candy but so far the story hasn't progressed much. i'd still recommend it though
