I'm BIASED. Because all that build up for Jin just to kill him off . like LITERALLY kill him off. His death meant NOTHING because Chiwoo's memories got erased and now Hwan can live guilt free. They meant NOTHING. That redemption arc of his was BULLSHIT. I seriously don't care if this was technically possible but I'm just saying the plot is confusing because Jin's character was built up to be so much more and to make Chiwoo value others but in the end he was just killed off and forgotten. L.
The art is good. The seme is a dick. The morals meant nothing. Hwan gets no repercussions. I am unsatisfied. Wouldn't recommend
that’s not biased just logical conclusion to reach. im with you all the way on the dissatisfaction. plus the redemption arc is not redeeming at all. all he did was got a hair cut and cried a little whilst chiwoo was sexually assaulted maybe four billion times. shouldve run hwan over with a trash pickup then back up to make sure he was dead.
AMEN FRIEND!!!!! PREACH
while i dislike hwan too, jin should’ve been end game, it seemed like he was genuinely reflecting on what he did. when he found out chiwoo had no memory of any of what happened, he stayed away—he realized what he did wrong. does that excuse his previous actions? fuck no. should he have suffered a bit more? fuck yes. but i don’t think we can say he’s truly getting off guilt free.
I get your point. With the guilt free part of my comment its more of an impulsive reaction to the shitty writing of the manwha, just the fact it was so unsatisfying and that Hwan was redeemed too quickly and so quickly with too little of actual redeeming/forgiving actions. Rather than Hwan being an "evil" character it's more as if the environment gave him too easy of an ending to gain. Its just so half assed on the author's part.
Especially with the fact supposedly he's a character we're supposed to be happy for, but written so badly that you can't at all. The morals and direction of the story make no sense at all
having the person you wronged forget every way you have wronged them and will no longer be able to hold you accountable for your wrongs is the definition of getting off guilt free. i don’t think that having hwan suffer more would be a redemption though because his suffering won’t undo nor make up for the suffering that he put chiwoo through. and in turn i do not think that just realising that he did wrong was enough. the story ended with them being friends again and eventually just as before his feelings for chiwoo would reach a level that he could no longer suppress or control and then what? he would just suddenly do better because he’s older? when he has never been held responsible for one thing in his whole life? especially never in regards to chiwoo? it’s unrealistic to believe that when hwan has given us no reason to. can you imagine the traumatising things hwan would do again if chiwoo starts to date jin in this new reality? or any other person for that matter? hwan is like a parasite, until chiwoo cuts him off, in one way or another, he would only suffer.
I'm so glad the new chapter is about them because they're my favorites literally
Whoever SA'ed him better not be one of the love interests lol.
Contrary to popular .. opinion, I actually really enjoyed this. Even if it seems frustrating. There's just a certain charm to the story that made me stay. Although I wish the assertive Daon from the start stayed till the end; I do understand his actions. Maybe I'm reading into it too deep, but despite him being a horrible person, in a sense I really do get it. He feels incredibly indebt to this asshole of a guy (Jaemin) after he's done everything for him, and fooling himself to like him for 10 years—so I don't get the comments when they say they hate him for that. It's frustrating, yes. But in a story narrative standpoint it makes sense. Nobody really told Sunghyeon to stay. He made that choice himself. Jaemin completely manipulated elements of his life to make him feel more indebt, cause he knows what kind of person Daon is. Junghyeon stayed, and he may be way too good for Daon, but that was his choice, and he was even told off and warned by Daon.
I love the characterization and their motives. Once you read the story it gets more clear, and obvious, and makes you kinda homicidal. I guess. Soohyun, especially, I feel bad for, though he is a little abusive in the modern day I love him. And Jaemin is a pretty good twist yandere. That's a rare way to write the trope, nice. Maybe I'm a major Daon defender, but considering his environment.. I don't know. I think maybe he should be less of a pushover, but if he's facing a guy like Jaemin in context it would make sense. I wish maybe he was in terms with his emotions a lot faster, but I can't really, exactly blame him.
I love Daon and Junghyeon; sorry if you don't, but they're really sweet. Cute dynamic, and I like the switch up of Daon pursuing after Junghyeon although it stops for a while, (though I wish there was more to give more sturdiness to their relationship). I love how Junghyeon legimately lectured Daon, a guy who was actually honest, blunt, but still considerate. It's a breath of fresh air from the other two. Daon, himself.. I just pity him. Through out the manwha; he goes through so much, too much. Having all these guys overwhelm him, with all their odd confessions and confusions about who he wants, I guess. I just sympathise, my boy wasn't given a break for a long time.
In general, a really good manwha to analyse. Hit me, I enjoyed this
Honestly slayed. Honestly ate. Honestly live your truth queen. #devoured
Omg I love it so far. I'm alright with this development rn
Such a well written redemption
