are people still trying to defend seungho? like come on we're on ch 63 and he's regressing instead of progressing lmao he is way worse than in the beginning
Hello,i do not understand what you mean by defend???for the rape and murders...?this is a yaoi fiction taking place somewhere in 14th century where nobles had almost absolute power over the kisaengs ,servants and slaves. Going past that fact,it seems that you wish for a healthy relationship,which im afraid to ruin it to you but painter of the night is not for the faint hearted or the ones who want a cherry blossoms on winter plot. What you fail to see is seungho's character,the main key to the story that you have been reading. In this chapter we learned that seungho contradicted his own past self. His past sex life,his past actions and words. He told nakyum that he will never let him go. And the one that made me fascinated the most,when seungho said that he never saw his smile. Seungho always just wanted nakyum's smile so that he has something prescious to treasure. The contradiction of a stiff man who lives by his own rules,now driven to the edge of a cliff by a maddening love that leaves him unable to think and act logically. You wont have fluff here,but a raw love and passion which hopefully will become mutual from nakyums side. And if that still is not your cup of tea,then you can always drop it fam..
Oh yes it's always about Seungho.
NK's psychological state who cares about that at all? He has to just keep up with all of that and maybe he will live to see the day (although I'm rather concerned with his head being slammed into the floor time after time) that Seungho will not turn to violence if he will disobey him?
They will never stand on equal grounds.
Also let's not pretend this story is some psychological masterpiece.
It's not even so historically accurate.
And Seungho will be cured of his traumas and violent behaviour because of love?
Yup... Look convincing.
Oh no, poor Seungho has never seen Na-Kyum smile at him. I wonder why that is?
Could it be the kidnapping?
The insults?
The hitting?
The multiple rapes?
Why, oh why won't Na-Kyum smile...Damn, such a mystery...
Exactly seungho has never attempted to show affection properly to nakyum so we hope after he finds out what happened to feel guilty for his actions and perhaps open up to him
It was sarcasm.
fam, i'm dropping it after today and no, i don't want fluff but i don't wanna put up with this repetitive plot anymore
and i'm not reading this with modern standards in mind because i understand that within the setting (joseon era) seungho's actions make sense. you're telling me i don't understand his character when i've been rooting for him since season 1 lmao i know where he is coming from but i simply don't care for his contradicting behavior anymore when he keeps going in circles anyway
love? seungho is driven by obsession. he's not saying he won't let nakyum leave because he wants him by his side. it's not out of affection. he's obsessed. of course he's never seen nakyum smile, seungho never did anything to earn one. "Seungho always just wanted nakyum's smile so that he has something prescious to treasure." are you for real right now? seungho keeps whining that nakyum doesn't want him and then treats him like shit and doesn't let him speak lmao
We were talking about seungho so i sticked to the main subject hon. If you do not find this work as good as you describe it then maybe drop the story???...and the author is not a historian to depict for you the exact traditions of that era,she managed to create it as perfectly as she could. Thats not my main point. If you truly have no interest about the character development of seungho THE MAIN SUBJECT of the story...what are you doing here lmao.
Oh at this point I read it mostly for amusement.
And Seungho can get all the development he wants. But his relationship with NK looks like some grotesque parody unfortunately.
Yoon asking about NK's smile in-between rape scene was the peak.
Lmao yeah and don't forget NK semi-realising his romantic feelings for him mid-rape. Absolutely gold.
Oh its alright if you read it for your amusement we dont all have to share the same feelings while reading this. Some have excitement,some curiousity,some others just want to spend their time reading something that will entertain them.
Yes miscommunication is the only problem here.
Seungho's abuse, violence and untamed fury are just a small, negligible inconvenience.
