WTF the ML should either be in jail or in a mental institution. MC should be given a peaceful and happy life w 2nd ML. Why tf did MC go back with the psycho? What a masochist! I can't with this shitty ending!!!
The art is beautiful though
Ok so the uke started off being homophobic. That's awful, but does he really deserved to be pressured into having hate-sex? I can understand the seme being angry with the uke's homophobic views and wanted to mess with his head a bit. But the seme actually went ahead and had sex with a guy who didn't want gay sex, was coerced into it and didn't enjoy it one bit! The seme was made out to be this amazing and considerate guy, but he fully took advantage of the ukes vulnerable situation. "I'll do you the favour if you have sex with me". What decent person would offer that? And to actually go through with it? Especially when to his subordinate. Power imbalance and all that. The uke had no choice but to accept such an immoral proposal. Then the uke went ahead and fell in love with the guy who forced him into having sex that he hated. I hate this kind of trope.
Aww...Hyeonjin is finding comfort in having Mujin coming around. Hyeonjin is so soft-hearted, give him a bit more time, he'll fall in love with his original top. As for Mujin, he'll definitely fall in love right back. How could he not? Hyeonjin is sweet, gentle, strong and beautiful. The perfect bottom to appeal to Mujin's possessive seme energy. Given enough time, without interference (aka Jeawoo), they'll eventually end up together like they're supposed to originally. At this point, they're already started gravitating towards each other.
I don't want to be this person but... the og pair won't end up together.
Oh I know. Read the spoilers. I was talking in hypotheticals. If Jaewoo didn't return...
That end panel, vol.1 ch.7, where they busted in and hosed down the couple from 'Chicken Heart Serenade', was the funniest thing ever!
The characters are so likeable. Lin Che was so strong and still so sweet despite all the shite he went through. Elliott was sweet and devoted. A special couple
I wonder what happened to Elliott's parent's. They were rich. Hopefully, they're able to help their son out. At least financially
How can a sweet and kind guy who strived to live a normal life away from his mafia family easily fell for a violent, immoral, selfish, manipulative, controlling gangster who constantly sexually harassed him, ignores his words, dismissed his feelings and just treat him so inconsiderably?
Because this is a fictional manhwa, girl. Authors can make the most unlikely pairs kiss each other. It doesn't always need to make sense. If fictional ships were made only by keeping real life realism, romance would be boring as hell. The rape was the only issue in this manhwa, the rest was good nevertheless.
Firstly, this manhwa isn't at all romantic. There are plenty of interesting, not-boring-as-hell romances in violent settings or otherwise, that are non-toxic and completely wholesome. I just like my couples to not only love and be devoted to each other, but to also be good, kind, understanding and considerate towards each other. Consent is the minimum in romance. However, if you find a manipulative, inconsiderate and controlling partner who rapes and constantly sexually harass his weaker and timid partner romantic, then to each their own I guess.
The uke was 1. stupid-Who the hell just open their front door when they don't see anyone in their security camera? 2. Stubborn- if you're going to live a shitty miserable life anyway, why not just live your shitty miserable life in a safe environment with the seme. Staying away from the seme when you know he's obsessed and refused to let you go was just painfully pointless. 3. Annoying- his actions and thought process was just annoying to me.
Having said all that, the uke was still a kid. Still school-age? Stupid, stubborn and annoying are rampant traits in kids these days, so I somewhat forgive him a little.
The seme on the other hand was suppose to be a full functioning successful adult. He didn't act like one. He acted like a lovestruck teenager with limited logic. Firstly, the love at first sight shit made seme character shallow and superficial. All he saw was a very young and very pretty boy and he fell hard for that. Maybe knowing that the kid was delicious in bed helped push the infatuation. Idk.
Secondly, boasting to the love rival about dating and keeping the uke was unnecessarily stupid. Seme know the rival for 10 years. Surely, he can't not know provoking a deranged wolf like that would be dangerous.
Lastly, after uke was raped and ran away, the most sensible, logical and decent thing to do was to go after uke to comfort him, to tell him that you love him, that it's not his fault, that you'll get through this together etc. but seme chose to wait it out til...what? Til the uke decided to come around on his own? How was the uke suppose to do that without help? He was just a kid with pain, guilt, low self-esteem and trauma and an all consuming addiction on top of that. As if he could make rational decisions. The kid needed hospitalisation and psychiatric help like yesterday. But for two whole months the seme just watched his beloved lead a painful, miserable and destructive life without going near him. It was baffling and nonsensical.
On another note; uke's sex addiction sprung out of nowhere? I know he was a sex worker, but be didn't seem to enjoy doing that very much and was fine leaving it behind to work in a cafe instead. He enjoyed sex with seme because he loved seme, but was also ok when seme was too busy to do it regularly. So when all of a sudden uke started doing orgies with randoms... surprise!
Anyway, just wanted to rant
As soon as Jaewoo came out of the book he wants to go straight back in. Does he have no one in reality to check in on? No parents/family/friends who he cares about? Is there no one in the real world, other than the one friend, who missed him when he's gone?
MC makes no sense. Any reasonable person would want to tie up loose ends first, say their proper goodbyes etc. before zipping out of existence.
With the amount of sex the couple have, their jar should be full twice over. Seriously, they have sex at the most absurd of times. Eg. Straight after one of them woke up from a 4 day coma with an abdominal injury x the other one straight out of a brutal gangrape complaining about pains all over his body.
The pearl thing was just a plot device for the numerous sexual assaults and rapes. It doesn't add much to the plot. I mean they don't do anything with the pearls. Cut out the pearls thing, the story would stay the same imo
Beautiful art. Rapes galore! ML is such an asshole! He does not deserve happy ending the MC. MC is a complete pushover. So annoying.
