Can anybody tell me what we're doing here? Okay, lets just pretend that you can ignore every red flag and toxic behaviour and you really enjoy everything about this story. But seriously for what? If the intention for this story is to just be like this, then what is there to enjoy about it? If not the smallest possibility for character change? Its not like their relationship is a little side story, its the main thing. And its not like its set up like a dark depressing story line where you can see that it will have a bad ending. I just dont get it. And you can't just label those who don't like it unconditionally as "not the target group". That doesn't give the manwha the right to simply glorify toxic behavior and make it sexy without seemingly any intention behind it.
I mean you don't have to read a story with the hopes that everything will turn out ok some stories don't have happy endings sadly some where in the world this could be a reality it's a possibility. But also this appeals to some people that's just how kinks work as fucked up as it is for others some find this hot that's just how it is. People are gonna like what they like if it's not your thing that's fine too.
Thats absolutely true. And its not about criticizing those who like it. I wouldn't have a problem with it if the story had a bad ending. I think that the tone is simply misleading and you can't really assess where the manga wants to position itself. Especially because some clichés and plot points are taken up that are more typical of rom-coms and that in turn doesn't fit with the current "development" of the characters.
It doesn't have to turn out okay though. It's the writing that makes it seem like a "bad ending" is justified. Good writing makes it so that the bad ending IS a bad ending. There should be nothing glorified in it.
No I get what ur saying for me the tone of this has always read more as Stockholm syndrome more than anything romantic cause I feel like these circumstances are just to extreme for anyone to ever actually fall in love in. So I've always read it with the idea of this might end badly so the continued fucked upness of it all makes sense to me from the story perspective.
Why do I have this feeling that this isn't going to end well... One way or another
I've never wanted to be a fictional character so badly. With a sexy mature interesting love Interest and such a good best friend
Nah I am totally the Mina in this story.
I am fine with that, you wanna be my real life Mina? :D
That Director Kang is the sexiest man I have ever seen in a yaoi/webtoon and the fact that he's so caring when he has sex..... Dude marry me or I'm dying
Yaaaaas :D I think he might even pushed my all time favourite yaoi/webtoon man Asami from "Finder" from his first place....
Yeah okay we get it but there is a first time for everything
I swear if this goes in a heartbreaking, making me cry direction i guarantee for nothing
this character development from JK better comes damn quickly. It feels like the character and relationship development is not in synch. WHY would you fall for this man?! Why
