I usually don't say anything when I don't like the first few chapters. Not everything has to be made for me, it's not the story's fault that I don't like certain things and complaining about it for no reason other than this not being my cup of tea only ruins the discussion for everybody else. I mean it's not like I lost a lot by spending 10-15 minutes on reading this.
However, I'm going to make an exception for this.
To everyone who genuinely likes this webtoon: you don't have to bother yourself with my comment. Just skip it and have fun discussing it with people who actually like this story.
To everyone else:
Holy fuck, this is so bad it almost manages to fall into the "so bad it's fun" category.
This is starting to become entertaining just because of how horrible it is (although it's still a little bit too good right now. I'd enjoy it more if it was even more ridiculous).
Like in the first chapter it's established how he hasn't left the house in a year. And then a few panels later he tells us how he regularly leaves the house to buy instant noodles (with money that magically appears I guess because I don't think his father gives him the money and he doesn't work either) but also because he doesn't leave the house the sunlight immediately burns his skin but somehow without getting a a sunburn.
Also, how is the kidnapper not sure who the MC is? His vintage batman villain personality is already a stretch but then he even has to check if the guy in front of him is really the guy he's obsessed with and built this torture chamber for?! How stupid is he?
Besides, how come that in every badly written psychological/thriller/horror story the first reaction of every victim is to scream at the culprit? Not in a desperate way. In an arrogant and aggressive way. I know that we're not supposed to like the bully but come on. There should be a better way to make us dislike a character than by showing this generic, unrealistic reaction.
But the best thing about this webtoon is how the author somehow manged to include the "I'm only gay for you" tropes. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, the author makes sure that we're constantly reminded how straight everybody actually is :D .
I agree! I don't dislike psychological/horror but this is just bad in every way. I'll keep reading a few more chapters because it might get better but until here it's just....not interesting.
Until somebody fixes it here's the actual order of the pages
1-4-3-2-5-11-7-8-9-10-6-12-13-14-15
Thank you sempai!!
Thank you sempai!!!! That makes sense now!!!! Lol!!!(▰˘◡˘▰)
The identity of the hot stranger was revealed
It's his brother. He's a lot older than Sangho (so is his sister) and looks like his mom while Sangho looks like his dad.
Knew it!!!
Can you tell me more about 31 please??
Yes I can :)
Sangho tells Hakdo about his family and they both seem to try very hard to pretend like they have no romantic interest in each other ;) . Hakdo "apologizes" (it really isn't much of an apology) but everything's fine between them.
The next scene is between his ex and Sangho. His ex is trying really hard to flirt with him but he's just not interested in him at all. The ex then confesses again, and makes it clear that he wants to be with Sangho although he's aware that they have different definitions of what love is and that his motivation is mostly selfish. However, even his ex seems to be aware that Sangho developed feelings for Hakdo. He then reminds Sangho about what Sangho said when he broke up with him "I'm only going to date people who like me from now on".
The chapter ends with the ex telling Sangho "I like you but does that kid like you".
Overall it felt a lot like we're not far away from Sangho and Hakdo being in a relationship. I also took a look at the preview pictures on the Korean site and they look very romantic to me ^^.
Thanks!!! You’re the best!!!
Yeah, I saw the previews too and yeah, look so romantic and cute and I'm really looking forward to it! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
One more time: THANKS!!!
You're welcome :)
It's possible that no one is the real one. All of them are just copies of him and he's somewhere else in the hotel.
Anyways, I'm hooked but I'm not completely sold yet. It took me a few tries to actually read it because the beginning wasn't that good. Especially how the other guy waited outside of the hotel while the MC checked in was weird. I know why the author chose to do this but I'm pretty sure she could've come up with a more realistic solution to the problem.
However, the rest was pretty exciting and I'm looking forward to more. I just hope it doesn't fall apart halfway through the story as most thrillers do.
Starting next Saturday it will update weekly :D (it used to update three times a month).
As for the identity of the hot stranger
Spoilers
We still don't know ;) .
Great news!!! Btw, can you tell me more about ch 30, please?? (▰˘◡˘▰)
Spoilers
Hot stranger drops Sangho off and seems to be very worried about him. When they say goodbye he stroke's Sangho's cheek and Sangho blushes but the reason seems to be that he's kind of embarrassed by it or was caught of guard. Right now it doesn't look like Sangho has any romantic interest in that guy.
Then Hakdo's sister comes around the corner, watching a drama on her phone. She was thinking about how nosy character's in dramas a necessary for development but are annoying in real life when she saw Sangho and hot stranger together. She was initially very curious about their relationship but decided not to be a "nosy Kelly" (like in the drama) and move on.
However, her curiosity took the best of her when she met Hakdo on the roof and startet questioning him about his mood. He wasn't having it and left.
The next scene is his sister thinking about whether Hakdo's feelings for Doochi have changed.
The last scene is Sangho in front of his apartment on the phone with Hyung. He sees Hakdo crouching in front of his door and asks him why he didn't let himself in. Hakdo reveals that he also waited in front of his door yesterday and knows he Sangho didn't come home. He asks Sangho where he was and seems to be a little bit jealous.
Ahhhh thanks!!!!!!!!!! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
You're welcome :)
There was no break between season 1 and 2, not even an epilogue. They already uploaded the first chapter of season 2.
Some spoilers of the latest chapter
A rather adorable and funny start.
Hakdo saw Sangho and his ex in the park and it seems like that made him a little bit jealous. They don't really meet up right now and Sangho's wondering why but Hakdo is just studying and doesn't want to bother Sangho.
Sangho met with his ex but he doesn't seem to have any romantic interest in him at all anymore.
At the end of the chapter Hakdo and the ex meet again at the rooftop.
Spoilers for chapter 57 ahead
And with what he did in the latest chapter I'm actually happy that Yanek is dead. He wasn't in pain because the person he loved betrayed him. His pride was hurt because his property didn't follow his orders. He straight out told Diesel that he would kill him after killing Ein because nobody else was allowed to touch Diesel. That's not love. That's a hurt ego. But I guess that's completely in character for the someone who is supposed to take over a criminal organization. I mean I don't know too much about the typical personality of a mafia boss but from the things I know this kind of narcissistic, cold behavior seems to be common.
I know that I'm getting a little bit more emotional than usual because these kind of murders are rather common (killing someone because they hurt the pride of their partner by cheating on them) and even worse,when the murdered partner really cheated on the murderer some judges will consider this to be a mitigating circumstance because they "provoked" the murderer. Seriously, whenever I read about a case of an abusive piece of shit getting a mild sentence for killing their partner because the victim wasn't a saint I could lose it. This is so hypocritical. When the murderer was in a relationship with the victim "hurt pride" suddenly becomes a reason for killing someone. But I should stop here before it gets even more off topic (￣∇￣") .
Edit: I was so pissed I forgot to write about the rest of the chapter...
Seeing how Diesel realized that Yanek really would've killed him and how desperately he tried to save Ein because he lost everything was pretty sad. Diesel really went through a lot and I'm glad that Ein is more distant towards him in the present. It doesn't feel right to start a serious relationship with someone like Diesel in a situation like this. It would be nothing more than taking advantage of an emotionally damaged person who wants to be loved.
The scene with the necklace was great. The necklace was a good symbol for how their relationship worked (he belongs to Yanek but more as a possession) and breaking it/taking it away was a nice way of showing the end of it.
Spoilers for chapter 27 which is also the finale of season 1 (I don't think there'll be a long break. Season 2 was released one month after season 1 in Korea and there are already 45 chapters).
The cliffhanger from episode 26, Hakdo's sister asking Sangho about being gay and his relationship with her brother, led to them talking about Sangho's sexual orientation and his relationship with Hakdo.
Yeah, that's right, you read that correctly ;) . They actually TALKED about things. There was no misunderstanding, no attempt to cover anything up. Just two adults talking, trying to explain and clear things up. Hakdo's sister was a little clumsy and Sangho was very surprised by how blunt she can be but it was really just a normal conversation that created no extra drama.
Sangho then meets up with his ex after buying food for himself (and Hakdo but he doesn't have time to eat with him). His ex seems to understand that Sangho isn't really interested in him anymore. He tells Sangho that he doesn't want him to hate him and asks Sangho if he can buy him dinner sometime. Sangho agrees and the chapter continues in his apartment. He calls Hakdo but he's with Doochi and hangs up. Sangho then wonders how unrequited love feels like and if he will ever love someone with the same intensity as his ex.
He sends a message to someone saying "about that dinner. How about tomorrow?" and that's when season 1 ends. We don't know for sure to whom he sent that message but it looks a lot like he sent it to his ex.
However, the preview pictures of season 2 don't look like he and his ex are back together again. Looks more like he and Hakdo are closer than ever.
Thank you (=・ω・=)
You're welcome
Thanks!!!!!
Do you know the korean name?
Check the spelling of the post underneath mine and then go and check the spelling of a certain other user (we all know who). You'll see that there is one word that is always misspelled in the same, very uncommon way. That's how you can identify their alt accounts (they have at least one) or when they post something as anon. I don't want to mention the word because I'm afraid they might fix the mistake.
You can do with this information what you want but I thought you guys should know so that you can avoid discussions with them in the future (if you want to).
Well pointing this out only riles them up and they get defensive.
i hope they stop posting anonymous already they're really making this comment section extremely toxic aksdaslkjdas
I'm aware of that, and I actually didn't want to say something because this might happen but not saying anything doesn't seem to work either.
That's why I thought that helping people to identify them might help to kill this bothersome, endless discussion or at least improve the situation.
If it makes things worse I'll delete my topic but for now I want to see how it turns out.
For me you are hypocritical person, cause you are the one who is passive-agressive and deride other people opinions on this forum, yet try to pretend saint.
You made thread like this what is also toxic.
When did I write anything about opinions? Why is a thread helping people to identify alt accounts toxic? Please write it down for me or leave.
You deride others opinions in previous threads.
Most people really would prefer talk about manga. You behaive like you make your own privite vendeta, cause you made again thread like this (previous was removed, i don't know why).
You start treat this forum like your own battleground.
Prople really don't want to read this.
You see here's the problem, your English sounds suspiciously familiar. You have the same writing style as this person. You have a rather new account with barely any activity on it and we know for fact this person has alt accounts.
I just checked Black Strawberry's activities, who also sounds a lot like you, and what do I see? You having a discussion in this topic, having the same opinion as Black Strawberry with the same arguments. On top of that you both made your accounts around the same time.
I'm sorry, I usually would be open for discussion but these two accounts reek of alt account. That's why I'm going to block you.
Sexy Crab and strangenight are the same people. That's why...
And is that wasn't obvious before it is now ;) (the anon underneath just used the same wording as Sexy Crab).
damn this person's really taking great lengths to do all this hating haha
It's quite sad isn't it...
-.- I don't think you should have mentioned that man majority had already noticed
and was dealing well, there're 4 so far now they'll do more and more and we lose the advantage of ignoring this headache, come on man -.- wtf why open the pandora box like this? please stop identifying openly for good sake that's disadvantage ourselves, we aren't stupid like them #－.－)
Isn't it actually an advantage? Now you know that everyone who created an account after March 11th who criticizes Diesel and praises Yanek is definitely an alt account. It's not like not saying anything stopped them from making alt accounts, right?
Okay, I just realized that this comment doesn't come across as humorous as I wanted it to.
Just the last sentence was actually serious. Anyways, A few angry anon comments about me (which don't bother me) but everything else still seems to be the same as every week (I looked at some of the discussions that took place before I joined). So I guess the only one who profited from it was me (I know which accounts are the alts now).
Spoilers for chapter 33
I'm pretty sure the author just wanted to troll us with this chapter ;) .
The first scene is between Hakdo and Sangho. After Hakdo said he wanted to have sex with Sangho, Sangho starts to overthink things again. He wonders whether he meant that he wants to have *sex* with him or that he wants to have sex with *him*. Hakdo interrupts Sangho's overthinking. He wants an answer and notes that he will say it again but only once and then the god damn scene ends. We're left hanging without a definite answer to what exactly Hakdo meant.
In the next scene Sangho dumps his ex for good and the chapter ends with Sangho's brother visting him. But apparently Sangho forgot that he would come to visit because he's sitting there in a white dress, a wig and make up and his brother is slightly confused about what's going on.
I personally assume that they're a couple now. He dumped his ex and when his brother came to visit he wasn't just cross-dressing, his lipstick was smudged. I'm pretty sure he made out with someone when his brother came to visit and I'm pretty sure that someone was Hakdo. But again, there was no conformation because this chapter was just one big tease (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ .
I was about to ask you for some spoilers! Thanks so much!!!!!
I'm really really reeeeeeally excited to read it! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I hope it gets update soon. I really want to talk about it ^^.
Sounds like a good explanation. I'm pretty sure he did it for Hakdo as well.
I remember Hakdo saying that he kind of turns off when he sees Sangho crossdressing, so I not pretty sure about that.. hmmm... but in another hand I can’t not see another explanation ... maybe he just wanted to make things clear with his brother? because he got dressed knowing that his brother was coming... ahhh I don’t know ...
Hmm, okay, you're right I forgot about that. Now I'm not sure anymore, too (￣∇￣") .
maybe he just wanted to make things clear with his brother? because he got dressed knowing that his brother was coming... ahhh I don’t know ...and he got a phone call earlier, I'm pretty sure it was about him going to work at the bar ...
Maybe he got dressed up to work at the bar, went home because he knew his brother would come to visit but Hakdo was waiting for him. They started to make out while Sangho was still dressed up, Sangho forgot about the time and then suddenly his brother showed up.
But I'm not really sure either, that's the best I can come up with right now.
Yeah right! definitely the best explanation!
