this is such a legit thing to feel as a queer person you can be as self accepting and okay with who you are and you're in love with/dating but being pubic with it takes an insane amount level of courage and all those of us who are out can attest to how daunting it can be at first and even years/months later.
Also factoring in the fact that Luke wants to be an actor and Andrew probably is considering that as well when taking his distance, it's just so heartbreaking but good like ugh. This is such a great way to add angst to the story without feeling manufactured or excessive it feels raw and real and I love this story even more gosh.

Minchan finally let it all out and Bihwan nailing so many of his insecurities cuz they're similar in that way my god the level of excellent writing? Far too much. Like this is why I cannot even look at the raws with this manhwa cuz my dumbass can't read Korean and this is not a"lemme just see the art" manga. This shit is deep and the dialogue hits hard. It does not feel real seriously its so good god I love well written BLs and I love my two babies and I love that Mimchan is finally letting his guard down a bit

how tf did i just stumble upon this now?? tho im glad to got to go through all chapters at once cuz i don't think I could have done week to week every chapter left me wanting me more. fuck this is sooo peak i adore tops who simp for their bottoms and idk despite his faults i still was rooting all the way for Mokyeon like I get why he was so into Nanjo tho I wish he'd recorded his twink friend talking shit and sent it to Nanjo from some random account to get that evil twink's hold on Nanjo broken off sooner (tho it might have backfired) anyways this shit is peak and I can't wait to read it again

Luke is such a good fucking person and an even more amazing boyfriend/partner he so deserves someone like Andrew who worships the ground he walks on and Andrew deserves someone super loving and sweet in his life. I can't wait for Luke to be fully out and proud (though I hate the fact mf Derek is probably gonna out them) so that him and Andrew can be together officially like I just need so many chapters of them just doing slice of life shit idfc the art and their personalities and the writing make them so fucking compelling as a couple and I could read about them doing dishes for a whole chapter idfc

Brace yourselves for a long one folks cuz I gotta a lot on my mind hhh but first just wanna say this manhwa just stays being 10/10 my god. Muyeol is just such a great antagonist, and it was amazing seeing it being exposed and that Bihwan was quick witted and smart enough to see through his bullshit.
Now let me put my thinking hat and see if I can make sense of this.
Seoho's sould is supposedly fractured like a tea cup (idk if i was the only one who was reminded of Hannibal and Will and the teacup lol) and is probably not all in one place, Muyeol wants to put it back together in order to save Seoho who had sacrificed himself to save Bihwan, this would mean that the sealing on Bihwan was for his own good and not a betrayal from Seoho. These are facts that may or may not be the full truth depending on how genuine Muyeol is being.
Now Muyeol spent years mourning Seoho and probably gathering whatever fractured pieces of his sould he could find, for the purpose of putting it back together. Then in the 2000s he comes across this boy who looks exactly like Seoho (minchan) and here he either already found him post accident or actually caused the accident that killed his parents.
Now here there are two possibilities (maybe more) in my head now, either Minchan was dead after the accident and so was just an empty vessel that Muyeol decided to safekeep and put Seoho's fractured souls into, which would explain why Bihwan recognized Minchan's sould as that of Seoho. Or somehow Minchan's soul absorbed Seoho's fractured soul and became both Minchan and Seoho's souls mixed together. In any case the reason Minchan has so much positive energy life energy is probably due to whatever Muyeol did that would keep him always self healing but the negative effect is that it's too much for his body to handle so he needs the negative energy from ghosts/Bihwan in order to stabilize.
Finally this brings us to the reason why Muyeol (aka Gwonryeom) asked Minchan to release Bihwan: now here there's a lot of motives ofc, my first thought is that releasing Bihwan means whatever curse was put on Seoho would be lifted (maybe reversing his blasphemous actions of using that cursed object) and was an integral part of getting Seoho back.
But yeah this long ass comment was just sth i needed to get out my chest I love this manhwa so much and I've never been this invested in the plot of one lol.

Hmm I don’t think Minchan has any of Seoho’s soul. Because Minchan’s soul is whole and healthy, we know that from the start when Bihwan bound himself to it. I think Minchan also appears in the births and deaths registry that the grim reapers have, but Seoho doesn’t (the registry is based on souls). Basically, there’s been moments to see the state of Minchan’s soul and nothing has indicated that his soul is altered yet. So I really think the plot twist here is as Muyeol says, Minchan and Seoho are completely different entities that just happen to look the exact same, in body and soul. Muyeol is grooming Minchan to be the vessel for Seoho’s (not yet) reconstructed soul

I don't think this fully explains why Bihwan was so insistent on Minchan being Seoho tho bc it was v clearly based on more than just looks. iirc he found his literal soul familiar in a way, which means that if Minchan isn't actually a reincarnation Muyeol would have had to do smth to him to make him appear that way, no?
this feels so real and honestly I feel like reflects a lot of the insecurities of both a first relationship ( mostly for Andrew) and a queer relationship (for both but i feel also a lot more for Luke). No one in the theater department/Luke's department would realistically have that much of an issue with queerness considering it's a theater department in the 2020s in the US but like people have mentioned it's not about that it's about them not wanting to be scrutinized and shit and also the future of Luke's career :/ I love the tidbits of them being in love and stealing away moments to just be in love.
One great thing about Nerd project now too is that it's back to the humor of the early chapters which I really missed for a while. Anyways can't wait for more and I hope we get like two more seasons cuz im a greedy bitch (and i won't mind any angst too ngl)
