i've come around to this season 2 storyline. i don't like it but i get it.
First: MC tried to kill ML. He realized he couldn't because he'd caught feels.
- in a delusional world (i want this world), ML and MC would have had a happy ever after. Which i would have loved cos i wanted a lovey dovey healing arc but...
- in reality, ML has killed anyone whose ever attempted to take his life. He's a ruthless psycho who easily kills. MC is the first one he let live. So in a sense, all his goodwill was expended entirely on holding back from killing MC. It was one thing to suspect MC had it out for him--ML probably found it funny--but it's another that MC actually tried to kill him (and ML would have actually let MC go through with it). Especially with the context, where the two had gotten close and emotionally intimate.
So MC trying to choke him was now a betrayal. And ML is pissed that he even let himself grow so soft. And obviously they can't go back to how they were before so here we are in purgatory. Rape rape rape.
Plus ML killed MC's whole family (and i rmbr the reasoning being that his father wasn't even a criminal. he was a good man who supported the wrong faction)... and it's really hard to get around that (i don't like this fact anymore than you i swear).
so i'm sending thoughts and prayers to the plot i'll let this marinate and come back when it all ends
I'm invested--like, I need to know where the author is taking this because him getting Sooyoung drunk and raping him was not the path I expected, because how is that supposed to get Sooyoug back? I wonder if the author will treat the rape seriously, and where the story will go from here...
i guess since they finally did sex especially make up sex and looking the recent chapter i assume both feel good abt the sex despite their history.. i think the story will take turn where sooyoung accepting jihwan n they bonded with sex. bc i remember at previous chapter when sooyoung already lost contact w/ jihwan and thinking abt jihwan, he then jerking off lol. so i think sooyoung is actually still have a little feeling toward jihwan
idk that whole seen seemed highly dubiously consensual at best, with sooyoung begging jihwan to stop (after the first time). plus he was bleeding and jihwan didn't gaf.
