As of yet...

i completely agree! i feel like mr.han hasn’t done anything yet to make me dislike or distrust his character as the author is obviously trying to make us do. i kinda like him more than hwi at this point.

In reference to her friend, she said Han tends to get lots of lovers and leave them behind. Which she is worried he would do with Parma. The narrative is not that he is a awful guy, but he probably tends to view guys as more of a revolving door. Nothing wrong with that, unless you’re serious.

His* friend.

I fully understand that, and I get that she’s trying to protect her friend but if she’s so protective why would she try to push her friend to get together with a man she literally doesn’t know. That doesn’t make too much sense.

I think that’s because he came really quickly when she called him that (through Param’s phone) night where he was drugged. So he looks like a dependable and responsible man to her.

Yep. It’s such an obvious ploy of the author and I think she’s planting all the distrust and dislike for Mr Han too early, when his actions don’t really support such dislike/distrust yet. He has a big sexual appetite, and I suppose him breaking it off with his purely sexual partner in that one chapter is supposed to show that he doesn’t care for people. I’m sorry but if I’m not into my sex partner anymore and I’m interested in someone else, I’d break it off as well. I think it’s rather honest and mature of him to break it off before pursuing MC fully after finding out he could have a chance. He also seems romantically interested in the MC. At least I didn’t see any evidence to the contrary as it rather seems to point in the other direction that Mr Han likes MC romantically as well as sexually. And I would understand the friend’s reasoning better if it wasn’t just Mr Han she’s against getting together with MC, but would also show concern about this other guy she doesn’t know at all, instead of bringing him over to MC‘s apartment and such. I wonder how she would react if MC would tell her how they got to know each other. Would she still be all for the red head as long as it’s not Mr Han? When we get down to it, the red head did worse things to the MC and acts like an immature kid. Its a sexy story and MC falls for red head (because he falls for MC) and it’s all cute but if the characters are all up in arms over Mr Han for being evidently promiscuous (which seems to be his greatest „sin“ as of now), then why is no one giving the red head at least half as much flack for how he blackmailed the MC into being sexually compliant? The thing is, the build up to Mr Han being the wrong one for the MC with how the characters react to him, while purely trusting MC‘s red headed love interest, seems wonky at best. The author failed to portray him in the negative light any other character sees him as. That’s the problem I have with the story right now. So what is this building up to? MC choosing Mr Han for a moment and then, surprise surprise, realizing he’s only in it for the sex after all? That wouldn’t really be a twist here as all the characters already dislike him. It would be more interesting if Mr Han is actually a normal grown man who likes the MC as more than a bed partner, and that everybody judged him prematurely for his past. And maybe MC realizing that the only reason he reacted internally negatively to Mr Han coming onto him (all this „he played with me because he knew I liked him before), which is ridiculous, was just MC already falling for the red head and subconsciously closing himself off to Mr Han emotionally. That would be an interesting „twist“. It would be an interesting moral to the readers as well. That you shouldn’t judge people by how other people talk about them but by what they actually do, and to pay attention to it. But that will obviously not happen ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I agree. Makes total sense to me and I would have reacted the same if my best friend was into a guy, who I always saw was picking new people up. I get it if my best friend wanted to sleep with him and that’s it but a huge crush like Param has? No way. I know he would be crushed so I would also react the same way as the friend did here. In terms of Hwi, some people can pick up characters and he looks trustworthy to her.

Lol. Sorry for this long ramble but I have to say it. What bothers me also about the whole Friend and Mr Han situation is that MC is treated like some naive young summer child instead of as the grown ass man that he is who has a successful career. I understand the friend warning him about Mr Han‘s reputation. That’s fine, but she goes on and on about how she doesn’t like him to MC before anything ever happened between them as far as she knows. What makes her think MC wouldn’t be able to make his own decisions? Also, in all those chapters, I wonder why MC was never concerned about the elephant in the room regarding Mr Han. Wouldn’t be the most pressing concern that keeps the MC from really attaching himself that if the relationship goes awry, he could loose his job or it would make his job more difficult? I don’t remember MC ever thinking about that. And that’s beside him having an affair with the red head. I don’t know but MC is like a leaf in the Wind. Never saying what he really wants, going with the flow whenever the guys are putting the moves on him. Tbh I don’t get why no one is a little miffed with the MC banging the red head while also getting friskier with his boss, and not telling Mr Han that he’s in a sexual relationship already. The MC is indecisive and makes it look like he’s playing around.

Yes, plus Param is a little lost and inexperienced. I think things are happening so fast. We just have to wait and see. But I am glued to this webtoon ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Yeah that’s probably it. It’s just bothersome to see her to go on and on about an adults sex life and how she doesn’t like him because of what she heard through gossip. It’s good that she told MC about what she knows about Mr Han’s reputation. But once would have sufficed. She seems to personally dislike this man over rumors how guys get addicted to sex with him. I think because we as the readers see more of what’s going on with the characters than each of those characters know about each other, we get a more unbiased view. That’s why it’s a little frustrating to see her basically judge a stranger purely for (what she heard through the grapevine) his sex life, while we actually see him acting better than Hwi a lot of times. I think in the end we will probably be made aware of that Mr Han is just playing around but I don’t see much evidence of that yet.

It’s good that she told MC of Mr Han‘s reputation to make him aware of this. But MC is also a Full fledged adult with a successful career, so she should trust that he can make his own decisions without her continued input about the same topic. It gets annoying quickly if a friend always goes on and on about how and why they don’t like someone you are into, like you didn’t get it the first time. It’s rather condescending.

I mean based on the raws, Han gets a whole backstory and is more humanized. So I don’t think this will go the usual route of he is just an asshole. I do think Han likes Param, but I also think he kind of sees it as a game as well. He is not made out to be awful, I think the friend just represents our friends and how protective they get, etc.

And Hwi (redhead) doesn’t like Han because he is a threat. The redhead wants the main character.

I didn’t check out the raws yet and it’s Good to know that Mr Han will be more fleshed out. And I’m glad it won’t go the predictable route of him being utter scum just because other people see him as such in the story while we don’t get much evidence of this. Lol. In any other story he would have been the main guy. The friend just rubbed me the wrong way, not because she warns MC about his reputation but because she lets him know all the time that she doesn’t like him because of all the rumors she heard about Han. It’s a little overdone aside from MC distrusting Han solely because he comes to the conclusion that his boss toyed with his feelings after coming onto him openly for the first time. That thought process doesn’t make too much sense to me. And that just looked like the author wanting to shift the narrative too forcefully in Hwi‘s favor. I like Hwi‘s development but he didn’t prove himself to be a much better guy than Han, yet.

Oh lol. I totally understand why Hwi doesn’t like Han because he’s his love rival. I used red head because I totally forgot his name ┗( T﹏T )┛

Param was hurt because Mr. Han knew about his crush the entire time and played with him. Parma’s friend knows Param more serious and inexperienced and it’s totally fair of her to warn him about Mr. Han. Which she’s only done twice. It’s one thing to have a lot of sex, but apparently Mr. Han also hurts the people he goes out with.

Mr. Han broke it off with his fling right after sex, right after he almost smothered him with a pillow so he could imagine he was fucking someone else. And Mr. Han came inside him which his fling obviously did not want. He’s gross.

I agree it was certainly messed up of Han to treat his sex partner like that. It is bad form to actually break up right after you’ve done the deed. But honestly it’s not worse than Hwi blackmailing Param into a sexual relationship. Which, as bl tropes demand, turns into a consensual sexual relationship. About how Han knew that Param had a crush on him. I don’t see it that way. He is interested in him and dropped hints that he’s into him. But also remained careful as he couldn’t know for sure that Param is gay. Han is also his employer so of course he wouldn’t just directly come on to him without knowing if he’s gay. He only went directly after him when he’s seen him in that gay bar and rescued him from being raped in the stall. Unless we get a flashback of Han thinking about how he knew way before that Param had a crush on him, I don’t want to assume what’s not there. And even if he knew. Why is him low key flirting with the guy he’s into such an atrocity when Hwi actually sexually assaulted Param and forced him to do things he wasn’t prepared to do? That’s my whole problem. When I put Han and Hwi on the „you are gross dude scale“ they are not far apart from each other. And from what we’ve actually seen, Hwi acted worse than Han (yet). Hwi only gets all that slack because he’s the main love interest and we can see him developing feelings for Param, while Han remains mysterious in character and intentions.
