Honestly I get Shin. Imagine being someone who lived in the slums all the while, running away from abusive family, having to work as a street mechanic to stay afloat. And then this "gangster" started taking interest in you, giving you protection, money, jobs etc...
Shin risked it all because he thought they were the same type of people -- people who are at rock bottoms, people who are struggling with life (in that case Jake being a gangster will be less of a choice but a means of life).
And it revealed that Jake was never a thug or at rock bottom. He was the only person in the relationship who's actually broken and pathetic.
He's the one ML everyone can agree is down to the core fucked up and everyone wishes he never get together with Dan.
It really takes a special person to make the main character of your story so unlikeable. Also even if they got together, no matter how many times he apologised or try to pay back for his mistakes, he's highkey abusive and a narcissist (and a rapist).
I'm reading solely out of spite and waiting for his downfall. Losing to Baek Jumin isn't enough.
It's so scary to be honest. A load if red flags too. But GODDAMN IT WHY IS IT ATTRACTIVE AND WHY DO I LIKE IT.
As long as SooYoung didn't find out and isn't hurt...I want to see how manipulative and possessive Jihwan can gets
At this point I hoped that the author didn't make their relationship into a father-son one. It's so hard to watch It's practically getting assaulted by your son.
Pretty sure if u find harder u can find another dude with no body hair and doesn't reek of BO...
Side eyeing JiHwan cuz i know the authors show us the previous chapters for a reason. Jihwan is so charismatic and manipulative, and at the same time Sooyoung needs a leaning shoulder, somethings brewing
And here I thought it will get better...it doesn't. Aphrodisiac???? To sabotage the match?? Doesn't even makes sense.
No it's literally Stockholm Syndrome how do u still like someone who treats you like trash. Doesn't matter if he likes Inseob or not if he sexual and physical abuses you...he's trash
I kept thinking about how Jaehyuk had made comments about Yeon Oh being an escort or slut for "sleeping around" when he was raped by the gangster and the rich homophobes. My hear aches for him.
Damn wtf getting treated like trash and he's still trying to be so considerate of Jaekyung
Honestly in that environment it's hard not to grow up twisted. And none of his parents cared about what kind of person he is and what he needs.
Wondering if he's a sociopath given how he does feel emotions (anger, worry) when Sooyoung was in danger, and form attachments to Sooyoung too.
Not that it's any much much much better but I hope he gets help
