like, i just dont think he’s the same amount of intimidating or cunning…so far it feels like they made him more timid, and submissive…and im sorry thats kinda stereotypical yaoi MC imo…like i was kinda interested with the opening of him doing sexual things to trap his targets and kill them…and i know he said he has to act inexperienced with the violence and explicitness of the underworld but then his thoughts seem to reveal actual inexperience and contradicts that statement…unless the ML can read minds and yujin knows this(yea, i dont think soooo).
OG yujin not stabbing the guy with no hesitation or fear in his face may not be good for his cover up that he’s just “some guy that stumbled into this,” but…it sure established some powerful aura and that yujin was not someone to be easily messed with. he FITS with a gang leader. because he is just as unhinged and willing to do the dirty work as the ML is. he’s just as cold. just as calculating.
the new yujin acts like a stressed, temp worker who just wants to get this over with but is scared and worried at every turn towards violence EVEN THOUGH, like the OG, he desperately wants to make it up to his father figure/politician guy and is no stranger to the ugliness or violence of the underworld. weirdly, he seems to lack the same amount of determination as OG.
and going back to the topic of stereotypical…i want to believe its because they want to rationalize why the ML, who is a gang leader, would suddenly demand sexual favors from this random dude they found on his turf. Like, “oh its not just cuz this is a yaoi and why wouldnt they fck, he was actually gay the whole time and his whole gang knows and respects this.”
okay. sure, ig.
“and he’s also kinda a fck boi”
sure.
but like, i dunno i feel like it takes away from his violent edge/intimidating aura when his opening scene is him torturing that one traitor by fcking him at gun point. its not as scary as the original torture scene and he ALSO loses some of his original aura.
yes i am aware that this is still a smutty BL. But i feel like there was no need to reinforce that with “extra sex with other guys” and replacing the scary torture scene with “sexy (?) torture scene”
only 6 chapters in but I SWEAR IF IT ENDS LIKE “Tale of the Yellow Serpent” by BrothersWithoutaTomorrow I WILL BE LOSING IT i cant do that again mannnn
none of that mind-bending other world/another life/circle of life philosophical type stuff—NO, NUN OF THAT, THANK YOU oh plzzzz none of thattt
it was just tragedy with a side of confusion and bittersweet hope so NO, i will not appreciate it if i see it againnn
