OKAY Y’ALL....Y’ALL. Y’ALL KNOW THE SHAKESPEARE LINES THEY USE IN THIS? WELL HAVE I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
not to be a shakespeare person or anything but the lines they used in this? hella gay. like my first reaction was that they came from romeo and juliet, because EVERY person wanting to take romantic lines from shakespeare uses romeo and juliet (which is okay but like. kinda basic lol)
BUT BUT BUT—it’s actually from a sonnet known as sonnet 18. so a quick little history lesson: shakespeare was pretty much confirmed to be bi. and one of the many lovers he had was a “fair youth,” aka a young man (look it up if you want it’s pretty cool). so this sonnet is like. hella famous. as in one of the most famous love poems out there. and shakespeare addresses it to the “fair youth” (you can look up the meaning of the poem to dig deeper too, the main takeaway is that shakespeare was very gay for him)
tldr: the poem used in this manhwa is very very gay. and i’m pretty sure the manhwa artist knew that, so i applaud them for it!! lovely little easter egg for people into literature
“i like reading about traumatized characters but the minute they act in unhealthy ways because of their trauma i hate them” is how y’all be sounding rn flaming shin and wolfgang for their mistakes
Exactly i use to comment how mad shin maybe me then as i continue reading he has a very traumatic pass je had to entertainment a grown mad since he was young just so he can avoid being raped he has all right acting thevway he acts plus wolfgang jad no childhood nobody to teach him better so both are understandable for the way they act and realistically its gonna take time for them to grow into what they really want to be
FRRRRRR
If I can like your comment a hundred times I would. The comment section is so full of negativity towards the characters, expecting them to be get over their traumas and live beautifully asap. In reality, traumas are hard to forget, it may even stay with u for life. And if your way of thinking is like that since you were young (esp if youve done due to his situation), then I highly doubt you'll get them to act the way you wanted to. They are trying though which is what's important
the art style is so good and cute and what made me pick up the story/continue reading... but the story itself is so effed up and i wish they had more character development... especially when it comes to respecting each other’s boundaries during sex (you would think they would understand what “no” means after what happened, but apparently not)
anyway i’m going to read this till the end but yea just some thoughts
