I enjoy this manwha. It's one of my favorites in the psychological horror genre. The ending did sadden me but not for Sang-woo of course he had what was coming for him. But for Yoonbum, I wish that he would have a good ending where he was loved and cared for but that's just wishful thinking. It annoys me how so many people call this a romance and that they excuse the actions of sang-woo because "bad things happen to him and that he is just a sad boy" Like what the hell. This manwha is no way a romance or something to idolize after. It's a horror, thriller, psychological one and should be treated as such.
Why the hell is abusive relationships romanticized so much? Especially in yaoi? Hyeongjo fucking pissed me off on how much he kept hurting and raping Minjae. I honestly just stopped reading at Ch.16 on how mad I was. In the beginning I though this was going to turn into a killing Stalking type deal. Minjae on the other hand needs to get help. Look if this were a psychological thriller and just that with smut. I would be fine. But no its that but with romance and a toxic one at that where Minjae forgives that psycho and ends up with him. Hyeongjo gets no consequences and says "Im sorry". Like that will magically fix everything you just did? Anyway fuck Hyeongjo and sorry for ranting. Its just Im tired of the abusive guy getting away with everything and being for forgiven like its nothing.
naw youre completely right, even though he did change, he should have more than a slap for what he did to minjae. but i did love them in the side stories
