Dear people, I had just check the author's twitter and find out a potential plot hint for future ep... Cole lying on Darren lap??? (Darren is Cole's boss) I mean, sure you guys are having baby problems, but please, don't pull the cheating card twice, with a co-worker :000 I love Cole, if that Darren guy fits u better, break up with Alex then, because cheating in a relationship is like killing sbd. Though, that Darren guy gives me not good guy vibe, like the fact that he use Cole effort and take his owb credit and just give Cole shit reason like ' recognition'. It's not normal, right ???
After reading chapter 7, this is how i view the story. The King, i think he is either really fond of the queen, love her or being protective in term of relationship. I don't know if he truly love her, but I don't think he mean any harm for her, with the scenes where he begs for her mercy at the start, I don't think it's because he afraid to die but thinking why things have to go this way, and he even cares to command the guard 1 more time to not let anyone in.
However, he's definitely a possessive and manipulative person, as the example of how he gives the queen the necklace named fate. It can have many meaning, but fate is the antonym of freedom, it's like a collar, to keep her a faithful wife. I think it's his intention, but I think other people do involve around this controlling freedom game, more specifically, that secret group.
That's group include many old powerful nobles, to some extent, even powerful than the king. The king acknowledges this, and his tone answering to these nobles is not of a king, but sbd who was nervous to displease them. I guess their power had an effect to how the king act to the queen, as other words, keep the queen in the square room and limit her power. The king has to do it, since he's not royalty so he need that support from the group.
The reason why they limit her power, easily because she is the straight descendant of the famous queen Agatha, her mother, right? They afraid their power will be limited as she becomes successful, which they try to control the seed before it grows. So when she eventually becomes the ruler at the first chap, everybody thought of her as a witch, maybe the group spread rumors, she kills the king too, who was too good too perfect for everyone accept her, that's why she was killed, and it was a victory of the old nobles.
However, as I think all of them are old nobles, they'll also fear another groups, the new nobles, that's why that cheerful girl was presented, free and wild as a representative for that new group, and they may be the important factor for her future......
Sr for the long comments, that is just my thoughts :)
I mean when we said don't make chisoo the bad guy, thats mean don't make him the bad guy in the relationship, not a bad guy to a society. He's a shark loaner, what can I expect. There is a ton of stories out there where the main characters are Yakuza, mafia things, and it's not like they are the fair cool and don't harm innocent type of people either. Maybe because the story dives deep into how chisoo made money aka loan jungwon a large sum and not hesitate to kill people, and he's seem to be not the main, so it will be struggle to like him not just because of his charm. But I root for him, at least now... Still, the fact that he uses his people to stalk kangjin, that's what I dislike. I mean it's not surprise for not trusting him, but that really a minus point from him :///
Well I don't know the raw, so I like I said, I root for him now. And I don't know, I think all the relationship until now is very underdeveloped, even the main couple when they were described how much their first love is, I don't feel that much was showed by the action throughout the few chaps, not many details, rather, it has more sex scenes than ever.... So I think that's how the author want it to be expressed through sex... And it just 26 chaps too, so I'll have to see more to judge. I like chisoo now because of the daddy vibe me made, but if later he becomes whatsoever an abuser, a possessive lover or an ass, then yeah... I don't know :))
No,i don't agree with you rather than chisoo, author depict jungkwon and kangin,not only sex, while their intercourse they did once after having fun at the beach and has spent more normal interaction.you said possessive lover,well he already is possessive if not why he gives order his subordinate to stalk him(this gives me a cringe vibe and domineering)
I know, but what I'm trying to say is that in the story their love was described as sth very special, sth that is true love, the way it was drawn, however, in my op, is too rush, like it miss actually a lot of thing to be that kind of relationship it was described. If the author spend some more parts about the past, I would be better to believe, like, what kind of love makes kangjin have the issues, what kind of love that is so special, 10 years had passed and they don't forget each other. I know they had fun as a normal couple, but sth felt really off, don't u think :? .... Haizz or maybe I require too much. I hope that if they later become sth, they will have to go through struggles, I guess, and not just because of love they return to each other that easily, especially kangjin have that issues with love because of sbd 0-0
It may take long.....
Yeah,like you said something kinda felt off.yes,coz there timing were off for such Highschool romance if we see their circumstances.as for jungkwon not only bcoz of his pride he breakup with kangjin both of them were really mess up,kanjin deeply need for the affection of someone and on the other side jungkwon have to take care of his family and all the timing really not fit for them even if they were in relationship.even though none of them were fault if we understand their side.but if someone reading this, got problem,complaining jungkwon still no need to harshly reject him even though his life in mess than I want to clarify- it was also no right for the uke to threaten jungkwon-iam going to die if you leave me(he ain't a kid anymore) when he already know jungkwon got traumatized bcoz his own mother attempt a suicide when he was a child but somehow she manage to live.so they are equally fault,anyway after 9 years they reconcile and clear their misconception.jungkwon apologize sincerely as well realized this pride of him will not do any good to him(ch25) and kangjin also told they were both young and innocent so lets forget it and "start over"upto this point it was all good.but it's very immature and selfish of uke to plot revenge on seme when he itself to initiate lets "start over" and knows about the other circumstance and problems.and still he wants to add more problem,oh my!come-on(# ゚Д゚)give him a break bruh(;´Д`)sigh~~
And also it's ok for the readers to say he is hot(ghisoo)I don't object with it. but still trolling seme and shipping uke with chisoo only based on outer appearance(it's too selfish and immature I will say), while ignoring the bad sides of chisoo and for only just slightly take caring of uke.~~~~gives me goosebump,while actually they are only fucking each other like I said before, no lover vibes development.still later in season 2 uke, when he is at chisoo house he kiss chisoo photo frame but still not to the point of clearly say they are lovers cuz they are again only fuck eachother(oh my!how many sex scene the author going to show between them,sometimes I got confuse myself whether the main protagonist is chisoo or jungkwon。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。)
As for the chisoo I will never consider him a good mafia. even in some mafia manhwa,I have read so far, i never once, see a main protagonist mafia to point out a knife on little girl and say 'shut the fuck up! I will slit your mouth if you don't shut up" and tightly grab a women hair while they are pleading and telling him to return back the money.even though he is a mafia and dealing with drugs and all once in a life he will caught in a problem.and if kangjin find out he is the one who threaten jungkwon family and a murderer and dealing shady job.i don't think he will act as usual,and it will not be called a healthy relationship cuz none of them never clear or say "i love you"genuinely.
Lastly, for jungkwon tbh I want him to forget about the past and refrain himself to be with uke and to move on cuz it's hurt to see him, crying and suffering over for uke(when he realized his true feeling for uke) and dealing with his so mess up life.
the author really make him soo unluckyslr
Oh my... It sure takes long, but thank you for clarify your thoughts. And yeah, you r right, they are all fools. I support chisoo, but just at a certain level of point. If he becomes sth worse then what he's doing now, then I may reconsider. And for kangjin, I know I can't justify any of his action for the threatening of jumping scenes, but I just want to say that man he really looks fuck up and out of his mind at that time, I don't think he have the intention to remind jungkwon about his mother. I know jungkwon life is a tragedy, but I think his action is worse than what kangjin did to him, I believe, and I think the fact that kangjin got that issues of affection for 10 years, is a very big problem. It may just be got drunk, play fun, and get fuck for the new relationship, but it's not. If he got that issues and many ex rejected him, treat him like sex partner, he may be thinking that type like him will never receive love. And his family too, do u remember how his dad make him try to suicide, his family probably had cut ties with his as well. Like, he got mental issues when he was young, and then 10 years after and it get worse, and I think it's as worse as jungkwon situation. Maybe the money is sth very much important, but that's what I think. And the fact that he want revenge, I think he just talk about it to satisfy his hate, not really going to have a revenge, isn't he? Well, so I mean, if he accepted chisoo, and chisoo really love him and treated him well in the future, it's what I want. However, as u said in the raw, nothing really grow, I don't know. And I just don't want it to grow into like the main couple get together, and chisoo or the other uke get jealous and possessive and try to hurt the main couple, but they grew strong, u know, then they r just character to shade the main, and I dont like that...... Yeah :?
Yeah,this manhwa is really mess up ,and I too getting confuse myself while, reading further.but iam sorry if this will really hurt or wash off your expectation.cuz the author itself hinted from the covers and banners they are likely to be together, but to go through so many hurdles,so from the starting there was no future for chisoo and kangjin to be together.as it also shown from the 1st panel of ch1 like, how they are back together but got into car accident.it is likely possible that they were in rush,escaping from someone, more likely from chisoo. cuz chisoo might also wants kangjin but later kangjin might afraid of him if he finds out about the one who threaten the jungkwon family was chisoo and about the shady job,then afterwards he goes back to jungkwon,with this chisoo might not be able to endure,seeing kangjin with his 1st love other than him,so he might chase them out or maybe both got into distract like arguing while on driving and loss the main sight.(it's just an analyzed not to take it hurt,but more likely to be possible)
As for the "i can't justify any of his action for the threatening"line for kangjin I think if you don't notice yet,you already justify for him bruh~~~when you said that man really looks fuck up and all other reasons~~and if you are going to say seme action was worse than uke than again i want to clarify it again it was also no right time for kanjin to handed money,it will really look like looking down or pitying over him(and the fact that we the readers can only see kangjin just wanted to help him but 4 d characters in manhwa it doesn't look like)and it will likely to be embarrassed to receive money always by someone you love,who you want to leave a better and reliable impression. and in the meantime got seeing, kick by the someone and stoop low will really create an embarrassed moment
from jung perspective view of points.thats why he said, a spoiled kid like you with good parents and comfortable life, how can you understand,how shitty life is,but that's not how it is for me.
and also Idk how you don't think, threaten to kill himself is not something worse than those words(maybe our perspective way of thinking is different for both sides).so that's why I said in my previous reply, both were equally fault and misunderstood, especially jungkwon and also kangjin himself told the seme sorry to not understand you better and all~~~.but later they both confessed out their misunderstanding so it's all good.so why some people are still stick to that point by dragging only on seme.and I take it back the "undeveloped feeling lines" after reading ch34 it looks like from kangjin side he is growing feeling and improving to have more normal times for chisoo but for chisoo I am not so sure still they are no less difference than sex partners. I will say chisoo is more like possessive rather than love.so after writing this iam ok with who you sail
cuz I don't know anymore,maybe the author might bring some changes or twist the main role.but like I said they are meant to be fools, having lingering feelings for eachother but with someone else.so it really suit the title "BOUND TO BE FOOLS" and lastly, I will drop out this manhwa,cuz it giving me anxiety like what the author was thinking if the main couple were to be together at the end why making so many fucking scene and giving screen time with someone else.its too depressing and pain to look.
Final conclusion
Support the author on official site cuz earlier I was just tweeting her on Twitter for some hint,but what's the point iam dropping it.advance happy journey on this manhwa,maybe ur ship be sail and plz don't let others troll on jungkwon. like if they want chisoo and kanjin to ship,just ship it SILENTLY but why always trolling jungkwon he is not a bad guy except for that breakup part(but I tell u d reasons).ok,stay safe and be healthy
..... Well I will just continue read it, but the uncertainty is real after what u said about the raw. I mean, the author had built their past to be that fucked up, I don't think I want a smooth trip to a relationship either, but after reading yours, I don't know man, it's the first time I write this much with and else 0-0. And I know, jungkwon past was like a tragedy, so now as I rethink, I think I should be better if they just solve their life problems first, and then get to a relationship, but that the most impossible way to write a love drama story, right? Maybe I should spend stimes for myself and stop reading this kind of complicated story.... Haizzz
Don't know man, but i think that kangjin and jungwon shouldn't be going back together, because of first love or sth. Rather, i think the story will be very exciting if they are still the main character, but not being a couple, showing how they solve problems and move on each of their own way, and just be friends. Sure they misunderstood the past, but if highschool love still strong after 10 years not meeting each other, its more like sympathy and guilty of the past and not love anymore... And i love daddy chisoo uwu, so please don't make daddy the bad guy 0-0
I don't know why the low rating though. I mean, sure the relationship is toxic asf, but it's not like one abuse another, they were portrayed as both having unsolved problems and seem hard to express and understand each other because of different mind set. Most of the toxic relationship was told as one is the main abuser who cause all the problem and the other one are the victim who received all the beating. You don't need domestic abuse to make a relationship toxic. And also, it's not like anyone in the chat, as I believe :)), see Cole-Alex as an ideal relationship goal, yeah (Except for Alex junior, which I desire... :). People all realize what is wrong, and the story is worth-reading, so I think I deserve a better rating. One of my favorite, and even the best one I follow these day, cause I like the vibe they created :33
I think realistic doesn't rhyme with toxic though....i mean a realistic relationship doesn't have to be toxic and an ideal relationship doesn't have to be unreal. But I say it's toxic doesn't mean I dislike or complain anything.
And yeah, I love every bit of this relationship and how the author bring along, reread for a thousand times and will support till the last chap.
Well, still, I don't really like the idea of pulling a gun u know, from the very first vol. Maybe the fact of owning a gun in my country is not normal like America :))) Still I think dorm has pretty strict rules about bringing gun inside.... Right?
