Yeongwoon my dude, wtf happened to all your judo skills? You trained for so long and forgot them already?
When I saw Yeongwoon lying beside Seoin, my heart jumped out of my chest. I was literally screaming "WTF?? NO!! RUN!!! RUN RIGHT NOW!!!" but bro didn't listen
Jihwan really seems to care about Sooyoung. The fact that he honestly told Sooyoung that his mother didn't really like him and that she was just "a beautiful, strange person" when Sooyoung told she must've been kind. He is opening up about himself, even if it's a bit by bit. We didn't see Jihwan involving in any psychotic behaviour when it comes to Sooyoung. He just wants to be beside him and take care of him, "Go to sleep, you must be tired" and those "Why are you so upset? Didn't you have a good time?"
Honestly, Jihwan gives the "I hate everyone but you" vibes and ngl, I'm loving it so far. The plot is really interesting and each chapter gets me even excited! The title fits the story so well lmaooo, it's really "the edge of ambiguity".
This is the first time I'm commenting on this site, but I think it's time I share my thoughts. Unlike many old readers from 2021, I've started Payback just at the end of Sept 2023 (IT'S A SHAME IK, BUT AT LEAST BETTER LATE THAN NEVER) and I can't explain how much hooked I got.... I went crazy and am still crazy.
I gotta say something first and that's if you just wanna see the two mcs smash, go read some smut bls where they do it literally in every chap or right after one or two. The Payback manhwa is being made according to the novel of it and so far, the pacing is actually great. That's the slow burn and that's what it makes Payback so realistic tbh, cuz other bls would be even wrong to call a "fantasy" bc things are THAT WORSE for these bl manhwas, mangas, etc.
All bls these days have the most mid plot with bs toxic characters and mainly s3x and s3x!! Like give it a rest?? Wth?? I've been a bl reader since 2018 and I've been sooooooooo fkn bored bc no bl was that interesting, just the same old. So one evening of Sept 2023, I stumbled upon this playlist from yt and found the pic of both Jay and Yoohan in that list with their pics. Looking at the art.... MY JAW DROPPED AND I WAS IN SHOCK. I literally sighed and thought "Well, I guess if the mc looks THIS FINE, I bet he's HELLA TOXIC too" but Jay's pic, from that chapter of Yoohan and him meeting at roof for the first time, WAS WAY TOO INTRIGUING AND FINEEE AF FOR ME TO IGNORE. The song for Jay in the playlist implied that this character was a very rich guy and that even interested me even more. So then, I started reading the manhwa and here I am... absolutely OBSESSED and DEVOURING this manhwa and story. The dynamic of Jay and Yoohan is sooo good, their contrast personalities compliment each other so well.
I know the novel translation has been dropped but as far as I've read, many more interesting things (and ofc spicy stuff) will be happening in the future. It's gonna be really fun so all you gotta do is just wait a little bit (like time will fly! t literally flies!) and then, you're gonna think "okay, it was worth the wait". I have a huge amount of respect and honour for both the artist and author and have purchased a few chapters already to support (tho I only bought them by just checking in and watching ads). If you can, do support them!
Anyways, Payback is different and actually interesting! Can't wait to see them in Nov, gonna miss Jay and Yoohan a lot!! But still waiting!! :)
