Ok but there was this reddit story about a dude who tried to save his boss from her “abusive” husband after she showed up at work with concealed hickeys and knee bruises. This lady had to report him to HR because she was forced to tell him about her consensual sex life to get him to back off, which is not a conversation you should have to have with a coworker. Guy then got all pissy because he was just “trying to do the right thing”.
And benefit of the doubt to Shin Seungmin; I attribut this more to stupidity than malice. But the FL’s point still stands. He doesn’t know her well enough to be asking for her life’s details. She doesn’t owe him anything, and he’s also given her creep vibes for a while so she’s even less likely to trust his motivations.
Also even if she WAS being abused and denying it, the best thing he could do is quietly support her and be a safe person to go to if/when she decided to leave.
Can someone point me to where Gowun’s dad/ tragic backstory was explained, because I have 0 idea what they’re talking about
Axel’s out here tryna change the rating of this story lmaoooo
It’s pretty disingenuous for Claude to tell Yulan it’s up to Violet to pick who she wants. As if Claude isn’t the most eligible bachelor in the nation, as if his father isn’t the highest authority in the land, as if Yulan isn’t an illegitimate child without position or background.
Even if Violet WANTED to pick Yulan, she might not be allowed to. And that’s not necessarily Claude’s fault, but he should at least be honest with himself that the playing field is NOT even and he’s got way more practical advantages than anybody else.
What she did to Metatron was bad. There’s no denying that, even if she said she was trying to save his “life”.
However, she had other reasons for doing it too. Remember, her sperm donor was going to toss her out like trash, and she created the weapons to please him and help win the war. To her, making Metatron into a soul weapon killed two birds with one stone: he continues to exist and she gets to live another day.
I’m not saying she’s in the right or a good person; just trying to bring her original perspective back into play. She lived in a terrible, toxic environment where she had no control over anything. Making weapons was the only thing she was probably even allowed to do.
It’s actually so attractive how committed Naos is to cleaning her up. He actually wants her to be comfortable, on top of it just being practical and hygenic.
Juhan and Hyunwoo cooperating to protect their guys is so important. Yeah the good cop/bad cop 4
routine is really funny, but it also shows the company that Chronos is united. None of them are happy about this, and if they take action as a group, the company can’t pin it on a scapegoat.
Like, it really sucks that it had to get to this point, but Chronos has set that boundary that this is unacceptable management and the precedent that they are willing to make public moves to protect themselves. Fingers crossed this doesn’t have to happen again.
(Side note: I believe their current managers are genuinely trying to help, but it’s that classic middle management problem where their hands are tied. This isn’t ALWAYS true but it’s better for idols when their managers are willing to try.)
Hyunwoo is totally right. The agency doesn’t care about their talent’s safety? They value their PR over actual privacy? Okay then! Your talent isn’t going to prioritize your money over their physical and mental health!
Yes an idol should have a bond with their agency, but fundamentally it’s an employment relationship. It’s an employee’s right to go on strike and protest if their needs are not being addressed. I’m glad this series is covering the topic, so hopefully more fans will understand why kpop idols take such drastic actions and not blame them.
He KNEW his mother(s) would go so far as to kill his wife, but still let them be in charge? He didn’t - just spitballing here - establish her authority as the Duchess and make sure everybody knew that Olivia had his full support?
Bruh. I’m done w this man.
Please please please let the artist rest and recover because I like this art too much to see this series canceled or turned over to a different artist!!! I don’t mind if updates happen once every two or three months, just as long as it keeps updating!!!
Seriously this sounds like one of those Reddit drama stories, with the OP’s fiance being emotionally abusive to make sure that she’s dependent on him for validation. But then one of their acquaintances lets it slip that he said he wished he never proposed to her, so OP breaks off the engagement and moves on with her life but the ex fiance takes it badly and tries to assault her new partner. And OP’s family is supportive of her, but his family/friends are enabling the toxic behavior that they are also victims of.
And all of the comments are screaming NTA and how glad they are that OP got away from that cheating, abusive bastard.
The ML has definitely had a thing for his childhood friend for a while. That’s why he’s pissed she avoided him, hates her boyfriend, and jumped at the chance to start something with her.
The maid was fully aware of what was gonna happen, wasn’t she? Whether or not the FL got in bed, showing her the annex meant she was going to learn her hubby has a furry secret.
I know Fourth gave up his feelings for Lucy and acknowledged Chrome, but they really rubbed it in his face with Lucy turning to Chrome and Chrome getting on one knee and all. Have some pity on the poor guy, he’s only just realized he’s the second ML. (￣∇￣")
If it had turned out Brown Black still needed Seojun’s magic ability this far into their career, I would have been so disappointed. But they didn’t need it because they had always been talented and hardworking! The skill helped them through a rough patch but BB has the ability to walk the rest of the path by themselves and we love to see that growth!!!
Honestly, I was expecting something closer to the artist’s previous work, but I’m happy to see that the ML and FL are building characterization outside of the bedroom. The FL in particular is fascinating, with the combination of her terrible family and her conflicted feelings about her (alleged) dominatrix nature.
But also props the ML for not going full simp and dissolving into a wet rag of a man. Just because he’s a masochist doesn’t mean he’s a pushover; he still plays the role of a protective tyrannical prince very well. And he’s enthusiastically confident about being a sub, which is great to see when most titles make the experienced dom be the one to convince the noob sub to do BDSM. Overall, just a great balance of characteristics that don’t make me despair over the intelligence of the ML.
Two religions are actually under the same god? The sun gets its power from the moon? The only person this will ever apply to is the FL?
I don’t usually accuse Mary Sue, but the utter convenience of the FL unlocking a healing ability she never worked for in the same moment some important character is injured is… absurd. (￣へ￣)
