We just gonna gloss over the fact that Woojin physically assaulted him cause he was mad? That he was borderline choking him out? Is it a point of attraction to randomly prove that you can be physically domineering over someone without their consent? Like he was literally hurting him? Like the fact that his first interaction with him on this day was “Hey, I waited for you outside your work without you knowing and saw that you were interacting with the ex you hate so I’m going to painfully bear hug you from behind and tease you about the fact that I’m causing you physical pain.”? Also the fact that dude is basically stalking him at this point since he always popping up to forcefully do whatever he wants to/with him? Alrighty then. This is fine. Totally the basis for a good cute healthy non-abusive relationship. I’m sure it’s totally okay to make the MC’s reason for avoiding him that he’s just afraid to fall for him again, and totally not that he’s an evil abusive psycho with no regard for others feelings. I love it when yaoi characters willingly fall for horrible people, get screwed over by their horrible ways, and then continue to deal with their horribleness until they stop being horrible rather than not falling for a horrible person in the first place. Great stuff.
The only thing that’d save this story for me is if the author has some ounce of realization that this isn’t okay, and actually cleverly subverts expectations by not making Woojin the main love-interest, and actually giving him real impactful consequences for being… the worst. But I really don’t have that much faith.
Im afraid to say his character kinda lost points to me coz of what hes been doing
His character failed to gain points for me in the first place. I’ve yet to see genuine impactful redeeming qualities about him. Him being hot means nothing when I’m too busy despising his personality and every single thing he does to notice.
Kissing his Adam’s apple was something I really didn’t think would get me but damn, that was *chefs kiss*. Also, I wasn’t even horny or anything throughout this chapter, I was just unbelievably happy and excited that ho-in wasn’t failing at the blow job despite it being his first time and they were both enjoying it. It’s so weird because my attitude towards this is so different from my attitude towards any other yaoi. I get ecstatic at the tiniest bit of development with this and I was sitting here freaking out over a blow job when I’d consider that same old same old with any other manga. I think it’s the way the author created their personalities, interactions, and inter-personal relationships. This just hits different for me. Every aspect of the story so far has felt like it had a real impact and I just love it a lot. Also I will always adore the undeniable consent, especially when it’s their first time together. “Full Volume” did this extremely well too.
If the first and second couple ever need to duke it out for the company, I’m leaning far more towards the second couple. It seems like they’re working harder for it, and they need it/deserve it more, whereas with Kyuho and Kangha, it’s like it’s much more lenient with them. They’re conflict as of right now is basically “my parents will like it if I’m dating a rich boi so I’m gifting this company’s shares to you and I don’t like that someone’s flirting with you at that company”, whereas Choi is thinking about his past trauma with the press and being underestimated and treated as though he’s some child with a silver spoon that doesn’t know anything, and he’s doing his best to work his way up in life at his own accord and using his family for good in fighting corruption and stuff like that. It just has the general vibe that they’re experiencing this whole situation in a much more serious fashion than the first couple. But I still love both couples and really hope that they realize that the ceo of that company is trying to pit them against each other for more money, and they end up working together somehow. I really don’t want them to have to fight each other for the company, but if they do, I’m Team 2nd Couple all the way.
To me the first couple should get it cause kyuho wants to leave his family but can't cause he needs the uke to save him by having enough money to make his family let him go if u remember in s1 the whole reason he took down his family was so he can be free but he still ended up trap with them so if the uke is rich he can leave but still have a comfortable life also the first couple literally took down his family and other bad company and exposed them both couples was Fighting corruption
The reason why this is so gross is because it’s the only aspect of their relationship. Obviously there are couples with kinks like this, but there’s always love and aftercare involved with it. But when it comes to these two, everything’s just very unhealthy. Yeonwu’s unhealthy for being so pent up over a guy that he can literally get abused by him and still adore the ground he walks on. Taehwan’s unhealthy for reveling in the fact that he could break another person down and they simply wouldn’t care. I still think Yeonwu was gross for taking advantage of his sleeping friend like that even if it was just a kiss, and Taehwan is so toxic that it isn’t even funny. They both have a lot of shit that they need to deal with before their relationship could even be considered okay.
See this how I kno I'm toxic cuz I like their dynamic, then again, I wouldn't mind seeing some cuddles(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
“Why are you booing me? I’m right!”
?? I upvoted tho
I get what you say but idk it’s kinda their dynamic.. in a way they really match each other cause their weird kinks (clearly being stepped on/almost abused for yeonwoo like you can’t tell he doesn’t enjoy it..) matches the other’s so yeah idk you’re right but still
Yeah that’s why I’m saying both of them are contributing to their unhealthy dynamic. It’s obvious that Yeonwu loves Taehwan and wants a relationship with him, and it’s even mentioned that he’s only putting up with being a sexual object to Taehwan because of how much he loves him. But that’s just severely unhealthy. I mentioned in a previous chapter comment that I hate how it’s become a norm for bl/yaoi characters to fall for someone obviously toxic and horrible, and they have to wait for them to become better people rather than falling for the obviously better and healthier option in the first place, like Alex. It just makes me feel like romance is dead for the gays.
Yeah lol I was referring to the 9 people so far that have disliked.
it does be like that.. I don’t really understand what’s so great about toxic boys like just?? be nice dude..
I just hope taehwan is gonna be honest with his feelings and his trauma soon enough cause yeah we don’t want this unhealthy weird relationship when they could be great together
Why do people have to be so nosy and loud mouthed? Like how tf would you know about the presidents secret child? Who tf are you to be spreading a rumor like that? Why tf would anyone be interested in that when you aren’t close with them and just spilled a drink on their shirt? Why was that knowledge imperative to know at that exact moment? Have you ever tried putting the shut to the up? I think you should try putting the shut to the up.
Wow, this was the most mature take on non-communication I’ve ever seen. Like it’s not just characters being dumb and causing problems for themselves and being ignorant for the sake of moving the conflict along. Hyuk acknowledged that communication should be the first course of action, but he was also self-aware enough to know that he wasn’t ready to dive head first like that. He had actual reason for him not communicating, and I honestly love it a lot.
It’s super weird for me. Because I’m honestly rooting for Jaewoo at this point for the sole reason that he’s the one who developed the relationship with Ohn. He might’ve gotten help with the stepping stone of complimenting Ohn’s writing from Seowoo, but literally everything else wa small him, and he’s the one who developed the trust between the two. It’s obviously sad since Seowoo was the one who originally had a crush on him, but he’s been using his brother as a shield for so long, and I just don’t feel right invalidating Jaewoos feelings like that. But my main issue with the potential of them working out is the fact that this entire time he’s been pretending to be his brother, and that’s a disaster waiting to happen in terms of Ohn’s trust in him. They’re both at fault for this situation, but I honestly feel better about Ohn being with Jaewoo despite him not knowing that he’s not Seowoo. It’s like using your brother as a tool to gain someone else’s trust and then swooping in when they finally get close to that person, it’s just super screwed up for both parties.
Well Ohn had all the deep talk, bonding heart throbbing with Seowoo even when he got friendly with Jaewoo it was because he remembered how "they" got close and how much in common "they" had.
So I'm not sure how it's going to end but it's probably going to be frustrating
but if you actually pay attention, ohn seems to naturally like seowoo. he seems a lot more comfortable with him.
he only developed the relationship for his own selfish reasons, not because he actually cared about ohn. its a development built on lies and manipulation
He developed the relationship for Seowoo’s selfish reasons. He kept going because he couldn’t control himself also gaining feelings for Ohn.
still he's at fault for enabling his brother and agreeing, he shouldn't have changed his mind.
Omggggggg Sooin turning into a vampire made him a power bottom?!!?!??!!! I love this so much. And Chi-Hwan calling him master???? This is the absolute perfect development. Putting Sooin in a position of power after he spent his entire life feeling weak and helpless…. Just…. Chefs kiss. This is phenomenal.
Also I really like how reactive Hwan is sexually now because of the effect of him as a link getting his blood sucked. I always knew he enjoyed doing stuff with Sooin, but all we ever got out of him was a slight blush on his cheek. He was always super cool and stoic. Now he’s trembling and begging and blushing like crazy and it’s just so different from how it was before the finale.
If this story is gonna continue down the path it’s on of “I left this horrible person because he’s horrible but doing that gave me a lOvE JiNx so I guess my only option is to start dating the abuser who hasn’t had a personality change since he was an evil fucking child.” I’m gonna be so flabbergasted. There better be a switch up to save this story because it’s on very thin ice. I’m praying that Haegyung develops a backbone, realizes that Woojin is an actual sociopath, and just refuses to play into his game. Also praying that said switch up has something to do with park whatever blue haired dude, and that whole drunk situation was a hint to them forming a relationship instead, and being the main couple. Because I really don’t rock with yaoi characters having some unwavering attraction to horrifyingly toxic people.
yepp i agree
