Normally when I am reading manwha I notice that I tend to like the side couple better, this is the one case where I can't stand either of the side stories. The first one isn't super bad just not my thing but WHY ARE WE HAVING A SIDE STORY WITH THE BOSS?
This was the one person that I didn't want to know anything about. I would've rather known more about what happened yi-hyeoks mom or more elabortation on her than getting a side story on the boss.
Best ending is that he dies and I normally don't say that about a lot of characters but he is straight from the depths of hell
HE DOES???
sorry that was a wish statement, no he does not die but wouldn't it be just amazing if he did
Cant like reply but yes. (LIKE)
Ah okay..I feel you, I LOATH HIM!!!
I just don't understand how this can be at a 7.9. We all have our opinions but if you want to make a psychological horror it needs to be way more fleshed out and have something that is really going to mess with you. This felt like they were adding in shocking things that barely had relevance to the plot, *cough* *cough* the pen scene.
Real like this was lowkey corny and the art is mid too, idk it felt satire in a way lol
This was one of the first ones I had ever read and sometimes I still look back at it just because of the weird nostalgia that I get from it. I love the art and I was so sad when the author didn't come back and do the side stories but regardless of that I still loved the ending.
meee tooo looking back at this nostalgia piece of art work i’ll never forget all the emotions i had when i first read this so long ago i truly loved this story ╥﹏╥
There is so much that people really need to talk about when it comes to their relationship. I am reading this because it was recommended to me by a friend and I love the characters but I wish there was more development especially on Caesars end.
Like I feel like it is so glossed over that he assaulted Lee Won, shot him, kidnapped him, lets him almost get killed and knows about it, and then emotional and psychological manipulates him by harming himself and saying the reason was because of Lee Won. Like why does it feel like the entire story is just fine with that? (don't get me wrong I have read painter of the night and rereading it I have the same complaints I guess its something that just isn't my cup of tea.
I think people have read enough of the same shit to not give an af or genuinely like it. It's yaoi, color me surprised if it's abusive. It is unfortunately very normalized if not the norm at this point.
Personally, I have stories I drop when it gets too abusive (those, I can usually tell for the beginning) or stories I understand differently. Sometimes it’s also that I got so far into the story that dropping it now is quasi impossible and the story is good enough to keep me engaged. Sometimes it’s also just about me hoping to see the abuser suffer and sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. I also try to re-read the story to see if my understanding of it changes.
So I had a recent binge of the entire webtoon and knowing what I knew about Cesar’s childhood beforehand actually made every reaction he’s ever had rather predictable, which is ironic because he’s portrayed to be vastly unpredictable. Someone like that won’t change. The way he is, is essentially a part of his DNA. It’s who he became to survive and to expect him to change in any way shape or form would be asking him to basically regress. It could’ve worked if Leewon had met him a decade ago, bit it most likely would’ve led him to soften up and die or quit the mafia altogether. That’s just a different story.
I was trying to understand why Leewon wasn’t doing a better job at walking away from him until they had their “let’s try to kill each other combat style” date. When he realized that Cesar was going easy on him, his reaction was basically “you’re turning me off. Are you a man or are you a man? This soft shxt isn’t for me.” Then they went at it more seriously, he shot Cesar and proceeded to mount him because that just turned him on so bad that it was admittedly one of their best erotic scenes. He didn’t just like dominating him in that field, but knowing he wounded him. The violence of it all. It’s also when he realized he was so in love with Cesar that he was ready to just be with him forever (aka marriage). Ever since then, I realized that while we as readers know everything violent and manipulative that Cesar does is fkd up, Leewon just accepts that about his character. He can’t pretend he doesn’t know who Cesar is. He sees him clearly, openly hates his behavior, and also loves him anyway. It’s strangely unconditional…
Those are the reasons why I personally love this messy webtoon. Because they’re both twisted in an interesting way.
I was just thinking that. My thing is that Ceasar and Leewon are a pair of lunatics. Leewon is horribly reckless it's to the point he was about to deal with a whole assassin during his first lawyer case. He knows what he's dealing with he even had a feeling that Ceasar was going to come after him, when it was publicly announced who Leewon's father was. Ceasar didn't fall in love with this half Russian half korean guy he fall in with a reckless unhinged and very self aware lunatic of a lawyer. They are a messy couple. It's the same reason why people loved luscious and cookie in empire. If you don't like it that's okay, I like Earl grey hot chocolate I'm not expecting everyone to like earl grey hot chocolate.
...earl grey hot chocolate sounds good af I am going to have to try that
It's glorious especially if you dark unsweetened chocolate and melt it in milk
I loved caesar before the rape and shooting thing happened. He was so gentlemanly, concerned about Lee won, caring, knows boundaries, not pressing him for anything and then all of a sudden he looses all common sense and respect and becomes toxic af. I love the whole story and if we divided it into 1) Lee won and caesar 2) abduction and rape arc 3) battle royale arc 4) meeting the in laws - I absolutely love 1) and 4) with all my heart. They both are huge masochists and soo freaky (●￣(ｴ)￣●) At least we have cutie daddy and hottie step bro
SPOILERS
This series is definitely well written. I found myself sympathetic to Alex only to remember who he was. I found myself rooting for certain cute parts in the relationship only to realize it wasn't a relationship at all, it was an arrangement. Clark although he could not comprehend his emotions was definitely in love with his ex. I also think that just like Alex Clark only needs one person caring about him in his life for him to feel satisfied which is why he told the investigator "I'm glad you're in love with me".
he actually said “i’m glad you’re not in love with me”
The Inspector should be glad he isn't in love with Clark too. Because Clark is definitely gonna have some major mental issues later down the road. That was some serious traumatizing moments.
Ok so if seungho doesn't get on his hands and knees and beg for fucking forgiveness, like honestly its nakyums choice to forgive him or not but seungho definitely needs to not be forgiven easily
I've tried everything but these last few chapters have been super blurry can someone help me
Yeah I've been going through that try reading on another device
Bro I need to see Haebom go sicko mode like I need to seem him go up like "excuse me birch who's man did you touch" and just go off
BRO SAME
You know guys I didn't know that this was a circus bc you know what we all look like for thinking seungho would just get better
WE LOOK LIKE CLOWNS
WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR HIM AND HE JUST HAS TO GO THERE MESSING IT ALL UP!!!
We were all doing fine with the ending, I thought the side story was going to be about Hyuk and Hyobin and seeing more of their relationship but instead what does the author do? Ruin me.
It feels like I have been stabbed and left on the side of the road not knowing if I am going to make it out, why would they do this?
