...woah.
When you don't like a character and you bend backwards to put everyone else's bad behavior on his back.
Jihwa is literally saying that Seungho has no right to a life or love unless it's with him or the way he can tolerate and Seungho is the prick. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I really can't stand people who uses double standard when analyzing characters just because they dislike one.
The vast majority of people who can't get over the fact that they chose to read what they don't like can't move on and go find something else but they instead latch on side characters -- because frankly the story is minimal when you hate the main couple but some readers just can't not read a popular title.
The problem with this in POTN is that the only other pairing is Jihwa and the Tarzan version of Seungho. Now, look at the beauty of this double standard. The rape that happens inside a plot of redemption between the main charactes is inexcusable but the character that is by canon a murderer for money is automatically worthy of love and happiness.
The massive hole on this is that a new character who lives by the law of the street and murder without emotion most probably won't have any qualms about rape or torture but never mind. Don't let these pesky logical details get in the way to trash a character that you hate while excusing others that are not really better.
"It's Seungho who is being the prick though".
Why is that? Seungho never promised anything, never led Jihwa on. Seungho doesn't like people meddling in his business and he warned Jihwa multiple times. Jihwa put a spy on his house, Jihwa tried to fool Seungho when he framed NK for ruining the painting and basically Jihwa felt entitled to demand from Seungho that he act as Jihwa felt he should.... and now Jihwa uses Seungho's past to trick him into a meeting. Tell me again why is Seungho the prick in here if it;s Jihwa who continuously act with deception?
"Seungho and Jihwa seemingly were confined to the estate". Where the hell did you get THAT? On the contrary, it's very clear from this chapter through the doctor that only Seungho went through whatever his father did as conversion therapy, Doesn't even make sense to think that Jihwa 'got confined to the estate' even because nowhere is mentioned that Seungho's father is some kind of guardian for Jihwa and would have the power to do anything to him.
"Jihwa is more able to express his emotions about being in love with man..." again, maybe that would not be the case if he had gone through the same kind of torture. Just because they are both gays and were caught together does not automatically say that Jihwa also went through the same. If anything the chapter indicates that Jihwa was lucky enough not to have a father that did to him what Seungho's one did to him.
"Seungho is the one beign the upstart here " What the fuck are you talking about? So Seungho should only like whomever Jihwa and the other nobles want him to like otherwise it's Seungho's fault that the others are a piece of shit to Nakyum? This doesn't even make sense. Jihwa not only is demanding something that was never promised, he lied to Seungho, he tricked him, he is offended that he got spurned for someone who is beneath him and it's Seungho who is the prick by asking to be left alone by the bunch of people who wants to demand his attention?
Please, i understand being biased when you don't like a character but give me a break.
