He won't get mad a the necklace thing, he doesn't even recriminate her.
Also, he went ahead and eliminated her initial class complaint by purchasing a nibility title for her.
An ML who actually takes into account the MC's concerns and goes out of his way to address them! Be still my heart!!!!!!
I've always loved Alejandro, but to know that he got character development during the 3 years we haven't seen him ヾ(☆▽☆)ヾ(☆▽☆)

how old is alejandro anyway? its been a while since I read this story tbh////

I have so many questions, does Ibelina not miss her family or at least the people she knew from the real world? 'Cause when she first transmigrated, she was just like, hey is this a dream or something? And then after she confirmed that it wasn't, she just kinda accepted it. I mean, isn't that just too quick?

In chapter 18, when she mentioned that she had a higher paid salary than the other maids, due to her caring for the young master, does she ever spend it on anything? Does this ever change in later chapters? I'm still a relatively new reader, so I haven't gotten too far in the story yet, and MAYBE this will change.

On another hand, Ibelina just seems a little too isolated from other people, especially her co-workers, the other maids. Also, so far, she hasn't left the manor at all, maybe it's part of her contract?

But that makes me wonder why her family in this new world hasn't contacted her yet. Perhaps she's an orphan? However, these speculations leave me nowhere, and I wish there was at least some explanation, maybe it's just brushed off because she was just a "side character" in the original?

One last question is just of the nature of Alejandro's curse, like what's the reason behind him being cursed? Plot convenience or just more plot convenience?

So many maybe's it's making my head spin...

hear me out im kinda here for joowon x taekhyung as-long as taekhyung is the bottom

I miss the good old days when Yeong was just screaming for more dick

Ok, so I caved and read the raws.
major, major spoilers.













Please DO NOT read this if you don't want to know what happens next. The only reason I'm commenting is because I am very stressed by the turn of events.
So, after the prince gets suspicion of the consort and Suu's plan, he breaks Suu's leg, so that Suu cannot move, and goes to kill Saharah, throwing Saharah, stabbed, into the lake. Suu runs after them, and the prince reminds Suu that his memories have been taken, and that he is the crown prince. Suu, of course, loses it. Some punches are thrown, but then Suu is pulled down into the water by some monster tentacle thing. He eventually emerges and is taken back to the rooms. When he wakes up, a spy servant tells him that Nadan is dead. Suu is now a dragon and kills the servant because of his hunger (the same Saharah had). The Prince has him chained to the bed and, because Suu now needs human energy, they have sex, but at this point, Suu really hates the prince, and for obvious reasons.
Still going through with the consort's plan to kill the prince, Suu asks the prince to invite him to the consort's dinner party. Suu poison's the prince's cup, but right as the prince is about to drink, Suu knocks the cup from his hand. Suu looks over to the consort, panicked, and in an intense, heated moment, the prince realized what happened. Suu is about to excuse himself, but the prince demands that he stays, knowing that if Suu were to be left alone, he could easily be assassinated for betraying the consort.
Chaos erupts in the hall as the betrayed consort declares that Suu attempted to kill the prince. The prince attempts to control the chaos, but the damage is already done and a team of guards go after Suu. While Suu is outside with nowhere to run, Saharah appears. The crowd, shocked, stops their pursuit. Suu, however, continued to run and runs to the wagon that the consort promised to him (the one that would take him and the would-be Nadan out of the city and to safety). The wagon driver, however, lures Suu into the wagon and attempts to kill Suu.
Meanwhile, Saharah shows off some impressive displays of power, killing someone, and then vanished in search of Suu. He finds Suu in the wagon, Suu having killed off the driver, and they share a tearful embrace.

All caught up. So, in all of this, I am pretty upset that Nadan is dead. I didn't even really like Nadan, he didn't have much of a character, but I knew how much he meant to Suu. He reminded Suu of a happy, normal, life to fight for, and that was taken away. I'm not really surprised by the prince's actions, and I do believe that he loves Suu... I guess that's enough i have to say about that for now.
I am just surprised that there are many readers who do not understand where Suu is coming from, and to those, I highly suggest a re-read.
I just hope he gets a happy ending. He's been through a lot.

I HAVE A THEORY so i think that indigo or violet is also a reincarnator like the fl. The reason why i think this is bcuz he ‘came up’ with the raffle ticket idea and the contest idea which no other royal member has ever thought of and proposed this new way of finding a crown princess. ALSO he came up with the magic camera drones too! ANDD to add on to that reincarnator thing, i think he may have been an idol or unlucky person who got caught up in the media and his image was butchered becus of social media cutting and manipulating videos and such for more views, thats why he said that he can understand the FL. And that could also explain why hes using his appearance as a test too, since he could have a complex about his appearance if he was a idol or sum. Alsoooooo this is just a real stretch but that studio ghibli howls moving castle reference when they were in the sky and when he set her down on the balcony.....cmon...if hes a reincarnator then hes gotta know about tht...

Female lead will go back to her real world. She got suck in a hole when she was LOVEY DOVEY with the ml on the bed. Imagine his face when he saw that She woke up from her coma and she'll continue her days as normal FOR 3 YEARS in her real world but one day she rereads the novel and she realize the book has changed. In the novel, the technician (her) is called a traitor by everyone in the country because when she goes missing, everything goes downhill and the enemy seems to have her technology. The male lead was also so depressed as he waits for her everyday. Since Shes so smart, she made something like a VR headset to go back to the novel world again and she succeed. As soon as she returns to the castle the guards capture her and God the male lead was so shock to see her. One scene, he even ask her to kill him if she's really a spy anyway, after that there will be LOTS of jeaolousy scene :) that's it that I've read. Im scared for the ending because idk if she'll go back to her real world or stay with the main lead :(

Yeong should just get on top or i fucking will

Once upon a time
There was a boy who was mine
As long as I was jealouse good
That has put him in the horny mood
We fucked, we sucker, we enjoyed each other
Till he realised that I am nothing more than his brother

The Moral of the story
There is none, sorry

BUT U KNO WHAT?!
MAYBE THE 3 OF THEM SHOULD JUST LIVE HAPPILY TOGETHER IN THE SAME HOUSE HAVING THREESOMES EVERY NIGHT. NO TAKU AND JOOWON, NO NO NO, ID LIKE TO SEE JOOWON AND TAKU FIGHT EVERY NIGHT OVER WHO GETS TO FUCK HAESOO FIRST BUT THEN MAKE UP BECAUSE THEY ARE BEST BUDS THAT BOTH LOVE HAESOO AND HAESOO IS OK WITH THAT.

Maybe is cos I'm an old lady too (Hehehe :P), but I understand Haesoo's mom reaction when they were young........ the biggest shock was for her, she arrives home soon only to find her stepson f*****g her beautiful baby (yes, all moms see us as their babies even if we are 40)) I even find her quite level-headed: With other type of person the mattter would have blowed there and then and all of the family members would end up hurt. She asked for a divorce to separate the 2 of them and didn't disclose the real motive behind it to anyone.
Don't forget too, that by them Haesoo was a lot of more inmature that Jowoon, Haesoo was a kid while jowoon was already a youngster that coulld play with his brother in the palm of his hand


What I really find hard to like about this woman is her attitude after 10 years have passed.......
In these 10 years she still hasn't come to terms with her son's sexuality, desires, career..... She wields Haesoo's guilt feelings for the divorce like a sword to try and force him to become an hetero businesman when the reality is that Haesoo is, and will always be, a gay writer.
I think she has drowned Haesoo in so much guilt and made him feel so bad about his life choices that he has become a gloomy person unable to enjoy a healthy relationship or progress in his career.
Nowadays she is the one being inmature, acting as if Jowoon turned his son gay, and punishing her exhusband to make haesoo and jowwon feel bad and split them apart... she is really destroying her and his son's future cos she doesn't want to confront the reality head on.

The author is straight up putting parallels and comparisons in every chapter. I picked up from the sex and blowjob scenes ( with Taku was spontaneous and Haesoo offered), with Joowon it was coerced.... this more or less goes along their sex too ... notice how with Joowon, the dominance is lopsided and most or all of the times, there is a humiliation tone as Joowon asserts his control.... with Taku, Haesoo is many times taking the lead or there is a balance where they both share intimacy....
Other things that seem to be deliberate added with one couple to be compared later: Almost every interaction with Joowon shows a dynamic where they do what Joowon wants, even if Haesoo doesn't want to or protests ... it could be minimum stuff like the clothes that Joowon buy for Haesoo but are not in his style but Joowon's taste, to Haesoo saying 'You never hear a word I say' -- a clear implication that Haesoo speaks and voices his feelings or annoyances but Joowon doesn't bother with them.... now Taku saying 'how he feels matters too' looks a parallel to that. There are other parallels too ... In future raws, Haesoo seems to resent that Joowon doesn't value the effort he put to become an writer, Taku compliments and admires Haesoo's writings. It just seem that the parallels are explicit and becoming more direct with each chapter.... now in chapter 37 we have Haesoo clearly recollecting former random and Joowon way of talking and treating him while thinking "Now this guy with a different language" referring to Taku.

This is kind of detailed and long, only read if you don't mind ..... (People, if you are able to stay unbiased and just try to analyze what the author wants to tell... pay attention to the way the author use of analogies, hints and subtle things to show the comparison between what is becoming two versions of Haesoo... )























Haesoo doesn't wait for their meeting and go straight to Taku's home without notice. When Taku opens the door he is surprised and asks what he doing there, what happened... Haesoo says he came to return the lighter ... Haesoo has a sad expression and Taku obviously feels that
this is an excuse and he says that it's strange he would suddenly show up without calling him. Taku's friend (who was there before) calls out to him.. Haesoo realizing that Taku has a guest says he should leave and makes a move to go but Taku reaches out and grabs his hand ... The friend comes to the door and he is really excited to see him... He explains that he is a school friend, asks Haesoo if he wrote the article on Taku and says he is glad to meet him.... The friend asks Taku to translate all this but Taku only translate as 'Nice to meet you' , lol. The friend wants to have a drink with Haesoo, Taku asks if he is busy and they both stare at each other for a moment ... The friend thinks to himself that even if they are not dating, there is something else going on between them. Taku senses that something is bothering Haesoo so he asks his friend to leave.... Taku offers Haesoo coffee... Once he's inside Haesoo first thought is how the studio is warm ( analogy to feeling good and comfortable ?) , that he used the lighter as excuse because he didn't want to go home ... Taku notices the cut on his thumb and says it's a bad habit (analogy to keep going back to a bad relationship that hurts him?) ...Haesoo minimizes the hurt and says it can wait ( again, Haesoo settling for pain instead of doing something) but Taku says it must be hard to keep it like that and he treats the wound, putting a bandaid on it. If this whole sequence/chapter is not a huge symbolic thing, I don't know what it is. Haesoo says that it's something he used to do as a kid but hardly does it now but he was feeling anxious today.... He says he doesn't need to feel anxious over meaningless things ... :( Imagine repeating to himself this over the years trying to numb himself to things that hurt him ) ...Haesoo says nothing really happened but he felt like crying :( ... he says he almost didn't come because he didn't have an appointment but Taku says he is welcome anytime... Haesoo slowly withdraw his hand, closing up again...Taku then says that Haesoo is like a cat in the rain that looks like he wants to be taken in and cared for but when the person reaches out the cat scratches/bite... :) Haesoo thinks it's a fun analogy and although it hurts his pride a bit, he feels happy/good that he cares/pities him. Haesoo feels desperate for immediate touch, care, comfort,tenderness... he reaches out to Taku, initiates the kiss this time, tells him that he is cold, ask for embrace ....
My heart!!!!!! the kitten in the rain is accepting the hand that wants to care for him....!!! The warmth, the bandage, Haesoo opening up and Taku listening (the 'you never listens to what I say' line comes to mind ... you can't communicate with someone if they don't listen). Anyway, again, if almost every panel of this chapter (actually almost all scenes in this story) is not loaded with symbolic meanings I may be on drugs and imagining things.

I don't like Taku because .... ( lists all the bad things you wish the guy will do so he will be just as much as asshole as Joowon and therefore not be the better partner that Haesoo needs).
Basically the summary of all the reasoning people give in order to not like Taku.
I mean I feel the standards set for Taku are absolutely high:
- He can't have a porn star friend;
- He can't work in Korea and meet Haesoo or Joowon;
- He can't flirt with Haesoo and say 'Use me' ( sorry, I have to laugh at this 'ulterior motive)
- He can't stare at Haesoo;
- He has to be in love with Haesoo by now because you know, the guy who is sleeping with Haesoo for years can hardly treat him with respect but God Forbid if Taku still is figuring out what he feels for Haesoo after sleeping with him once.
In other words, the guy you don't like based on things you hypothetically wish he will do is shady and has ill intentions and absolutely has no right to fall in love with Haesoo and be rooted for but Joowon:
- The guy who while sleeping with Haesoo tells him not to sleep with him;
- The guy who treats Haesoo as booty call and only now after years is thinking of putting a ring on his pet
-The guy who pressures Haesoo to give him a blowjob even if he doesn't want to;
- The guy who makes Haesoo miserable to the point of self harm,
This guy is worth rooting for but Taku saying ' Use me' while flirting with Haesoo is what crosses the line of 'ulterior motives'?
I mean, no one needs a motive to like a character but it's funny the lengths that people go to justify their taste. Maybe Taku will turn out to be the boogeyman that Joowon shippers are trying and hoping so hard for him to be... but can we all be honest and say that it would make a fucking difference to you? If Joowon beat up Haesoo, made him cry, if Joowon is your favorite, you will explain away and even if Taku were the best husband out there you would still not like him.
I just think that if you are going to give a reason to like or dislike a character, maybe wait for the reason to show up.... Say I don't like X for no reason at all but let me give you a list of reasons that would be good if they existed.
People, Taku has done NOTHING YET to be disliked based on actions. Zilch.
If you want to dislike him just because he is Joowon rival, that's ok.

Nobody seem to notice but: SEXUAL, TREAT YOU BETTER and CIKI BY SAI (KOREAN) are 3 of the songs the Author recommended while promoting or prolly writing Love or Hate. Here's some words to the song SEXUAL (Tell me who this song reminds you of).. is it just me or can these be clues to who the endgame is?
---SEXUAL---
You got that thing that I been looking for
Been running around for so long
Now I caught you, I won't let you go
You got that thing that I been looking for

You are, you are, you are, you are, you are
Everything that I dreamed of, now WE CAN PAINT A PICTURE
You are, you are, you are, you are, you are
Making my life much greener, yeah yeah

You got something that I ain't seen before
You've opened a million doors
All I can say is I adore you
You got something that I ain't seen before
Hold me 'cause baby, I'm yours
Oh, I can't wait until we get home
Just say you feel the way that I feel
I'm feeling sexual, so we should be sexual
I don't know what you done but I can't get enough
'Cause you give me that rush, I don't want it to stop


---TREAT YOUU BETTER---
I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop
I know I can treat you better
Than he can...
I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me to
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing


---CIKI---

Korean Song called CIKI.. Here's some of the words:

I got to know you.
Told you countless, derailed stories
Like a fractured hospital room
I'm blankly waiting for you
Even as i curse you like that
And know it will bring sadness

In a kind voice, you tell me you like me
And say let's live happily
As you're about to cry, you tell me
"I'm sorry, i can't see you," but with those words
Now you can see me so
I should embrace you, but
Why is it that i just pull out
Sharp scissors instead?
-- I didn't post the whole lyrics and yeah, judging by these songs that this skilled writer listens to, who comes to your mind? These are crumbs lol, but I'll take.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THAT JAEHYUN LOOKS LIKE KISARAGI SHINTARO FROM KAGEROU PROJECT????

ok i know everyone is so disappointed bcs the story really lives up to the title “someone else’s BL” which means the MC is not the one experiencing the BL (like fr the MC is the side character). The couple to this story is the guy with the really short black hair (the guy on the left on the cover) and the guy with sort of messy brown hair (the guy appears on the end of ch 1/ the guy on the right side of this manhwa cover). With that being said, there will come a character that (i assume) will be the love interest of the MC. In chapter 60-ish (i think) the focus of the story shifted to the MC and his supposed love interest. The supposed love interest is a guy with messy black hair. And i acknowledge that he’s reaallll nice. I dont know exactly when he first appeared, but he’s already a part of this story on chapter 50-ish. Still ongoing tho, i think the MC and the black haired dude still have a long wayyy to go. I think 99% of you will really be glad with how the author pair characters!

someone might have already said this but i just read ch 84 and soohyuk and seunghee start dating~ also the later chapters concentrate more on seunghee so for those who are wanting to see more of his love life, you have to wait a little!
