Theory on the next side story:
- We get to meet the NO GOOD PARENTS of Jiwon 凸 ( ̄皿 ̄ ╬) also we might get to meet his Older brother, let's see if he is really hotter than JEEWILLY (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ and it's going to be drama ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
- We meet Donggyun's Parents THEY ARE SUPER CONSERVATIVE and Donggyun's dad might be a HOMOPHOBE ( ̄へ ̄) so another drama coaster ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
- We get a surprise visit from HYUNG MCCUNT HWEMIN 凸 ( ̄皿 ̄ ╬) and he causes trouble (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 and it's going to be drama ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
HOPE SEE YOU SOON FELLOW SINNERS (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
oh here we go again.
first of, it's not the artist's fault your reading comprehension is so poor that you didn't even get the basics of the webtoon, harping about "rape" and "domestic abuse" today, right now. we're still having this conversation, really? i thought you lot got tired with this rhetoric 50 chapters ago. do you even understand these words or you're just trying to be edgy and throwing around buzz words to make yourself seem ~woke~. seriously.
second, there's only so much ways any story can go. stories aren't always about reinventing the wheel or being unique or surprising or subverting expectations like the disaster that was season 8 of game of thrones was according to DnD. plot points just need to be believable and sincere for them to be memorable and impactful in a story. they just need to make sense, and they need to be within the realm of the story's reality. you're not here to read the next shakespear or the modern day john grisham nor stephen king. this is a freaking gay webtoon on the internet for christ's sake.
third, if you want "originality" and ~depth~, stop reading webtoons. god.
Such butthurt because someone had the audacity to point how yaoi normalises, trivialises and romantices abuse? How authors treat some issues more seriously but rape and sexual assaults, abuse in relationships as nothing more than cheap plot device because they can't or don't want to write slow, well developed, natural progress?
And this author showed for the n time how tactless their writting is by Chanwoo and MD's couple. They just love their abusive, toxic semes. The side story could have been light-hearted portrayal of healthy BDSM but nope we got coercion, mental manipulation and once again victim apologising more than abuser. Clap clap
Sincere... Believable? What? Where?
We have that good old "FORGOTTEN CHILDHOOD CRUSH THAT I WANT TO MARRY WHEN I GROW UP" trope coming soon so best be prepared for angst drama again ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
