i need some people here to understand that the pacing and timeline AND the plot of this story sucks ass. from a technical point too like. portraying a character like jaekyung as extreme as this and overdoing the 'repeating mistakes until the mc learns the back story and so everything's about to be fixed' trope is actually KILLING this manhwa.
the cycle is overdone, the events and keypoints are dragged out so the pacing is shit, and all these things in the story inevitably make jaekyung seem more and more like an unredeemable asshole (in the eyes of readers who unfortunately has tried to read this with critical thinking). there's a reason why 'redemption arc' is called an ARC. it's something that starts with SELF REFLECTION, which the author has made it seem impossible to happen to jaekyung. it's all about the pacing and things being dragged out too long, and seemingly microscopic character development.
canon young queer experience: questionable sexual and emotional tension for months/years and then not communicating any of it until everything just explodes
damn it really took a death scare for the assface to make a single neural connection. manhwas really be fucking with people to make 1 single fuckass man stop being so emotionally constipated
also there BETTER be an actual explanation as to why jaekyung is the way he is because he acts like trauma on legs
been like 3 years since i first read this and it still hits so fckin hard
