he left bc he wasnt doing his job right!?!?!? jaekyung when i catch you...
on one hand, i agree w other opinions that yido shouldve told sejin, on the other, i don't think sejin shouldve been told bc w how he is rn, he wouldve tried hard to save his fam.
what i do know is that sejin needs to process everything properly, and maybe ido couldve contacted a professional to ask for advice. i feel affinity w sejin as i also grew up in a toxic abusive environment, and like sejin, i knew that things shouldnt be the way they are. the thing is, knowing and processing the experience are different things. sejin knows what his fam is doing but has always repressed it within himself/never processed it. idk if this manhwa is going the realistic route, but there's a pre-processing moment where everything that's happened is kinda buffering or loading in your head, then there's the main part of processing and thats where u fall apart.
in my opinion, ido shouldve done everything to kickstart the pre-processing part and be there for sejin for the main processing part. then when sejin's kinda ok, thats when he shouldve done his plan for sejin's fam's company. realistically, w how ido did things, sejins going to go back to his fam (worse, his father) bc the attachment is still strong. saw a lot of abused people do this in real life when they were forcibly removed from that situation and they werent actually ready to move on. idk how it'll play out here tho.
bottom line is, abuse, esp for the victim, is complex.
wow thanks for such an insightful comment
I come from a similar situation. I 100% agree and support your points. This type of trauma is something that follows someone for their entire life. As much as victims want to get away from their abusers/traumas, it’s just NOT that simple.
Im really hoping this story goes the realistic route and so far-in terms of Sejin- it seems the story is. The way Sejin is acting right now (the calm before the storm) or like you said-“buffering” feels very real to me.
On the other hand, the way Ido tried to cushion Sejin before the fall…I also agree with you, I don’t think he did it the right way. I think Ido is going to cause Sejin to spiral first before healing.
as much as i love their relationship, i cant help but be bothered by how pushy the seme is w the uke when it comes to sex. esp since thats how their relationship started. it feels like only naui grew, and muhyeok stayed the same. i was expecting muhyeok to learn to respect naui's "no"s, esp when naui was still employed by a company, but that didnt come
I honestly don’t get the praise that this manwha is getting. I’ve gotten like 15 chapters in, and it’s just so shallow. And if you’re saying the ML doesn’t even change mentally what’s these mental gymnastics I’m reading about this being a “cute” couple there seems to be no actual development whatsoever.
i dont know how familiar u are w the bl genre since from your comment, it seems like u are new, but bl manhwas in general are pretty shallow. love at first sight or attraction based solely on physical appearance are used to sustain the commitment of the two main characters and continue the story. everything else comes second. i've been a bl reader since 2012, and back then, semes in mangas used to at least have a deeper reason why they fell for the uke, ie seme finding salvation in uke's personality, etc. ironically, thats the appeal of these stories: its shallow, so its easy to follow, and readers get to witness in depth how the relationship of the two main characters evolve.
there's no mental gymnastics or anything. the dynamics of their relationship, which are shown through their day to day lives, is generally cute. there IS development. my comment was only about muhyeok.
overall, this manhwa may not be just your thing.
I’m bothered too.. he really reminds me of some pushy extroverts who doesn’t know what “no” really means…
ohh fuck he's actually just a child lmao. the way i wanted him to fall for the fl in the beginning
REAL lmao, I saw his face and thought "oh? 2nd male lead? Drama?" But it's just some spoiled brat
im guessing punishment wont just be a reflect in your room? since dying kids are an issue there isnt it?
i'm pretty sure it's monday right??? the bro said he's leaving on monday????
i hate the ml but i hate dumb arrogant kids even more so go, wipe them outttttttt
the audacity of xia lu to mope that she was forgotten....
