I cannot lie. This may be the biggest waste of time I've ever experienced. Just like that? It's ending with Minhu stranded, unaware he's surrounded by puppeteers, and hurtling towards an untimely death???? I'm all for sad endings but this was a terribly written one. Also, whoever is uploading this please put the tragedy tag on this thing cause there's no other way to describe it. Pray tell, what the fuck is Gwendolyn-nim's problem?

I agree with everything you wrote
But honestly, I understand that old man's decision. As the smitten father that he is, it'll be hard for our MC to even imagine giving up his child. But a pre-war country that is strife with famine and the violence that comes with desperation is no joke.
The fact that he specifically brought her to an orphanage that promised to adopt her to a family overseas is enough to understand what he was thinking. In that moment he couldn't guarantee he could keep his daughter alive and healthy. He did what he thought was necessary.
Being able to recognise her immediately from a picture despite how many years it had been is insane, he probably loved her a lot, and letting go of her wouldn't be easy. I feel bad for him.
Yes, I would probably do the same. It's better she hates me but alive than seeing her dying because of hunger
He could’ve sold her off, but he loved her so much that he wanted her to have a better future. It’s so sweet and so sad at the same time. I wished he looked for her when he was able to. The fact that she was the one who reached might mean that she also loves him and misses him. We’ll just have to see what the letter says. I hope they can be reunited.
I also feel really bad about the man story, like a was tearing up reading it lol, but I think the mc’s reaction to the old man’s story makes sense. He talked about how he grew up in an orphanage since he was born and never knew his parents. Hearing about how the old man left his daughter and then went on to have more kids he raised and never really thought of her, that probably made him feel really awful about his own situation.
I cannot wait to see our MC's backstory though..... I feel like I might cry waterfalls but it'll be worth reading I'm sure!
You can't even call this miscommunication atp Only one of them is fucking speaking
Jeongmin SPEAK UP
RIGHT LIKE I MEAN DO SOME FACIAL EXPRESSIONS TOO YOURE NOT GIVING ANYTHING ATP
Honestly I’ve seen this type of trope before and they’re stringing us along until the bomb where we finally get all his internal monologue
Both father and son are different kinds of monsters. They continue to take and take from Yeonho to fulfill their own selfish desires. Taking out their anger on him, blaming him in his powerlessness, engaging in a battle to possess him as if he's an object. The older torments Yeonho and devours his will bit by bit while the younger steps all over Yeonho's fragile sense of being. I can't stand either of them.
The audacity Kyung Hee has to say he can never forgive Yeonho as if he wants to bed some deranged old man. I'm furious I can't contain my anger
the son is not a monster and he can’t be compared to the literal grooming, rapist, pedophile.
I said they are different kinds of monsters, and at no point said they are of equal horribleness. The fact of the matter is he looked directly in the face of a person who had been groomed and abused for years and dared to put blame on him. That's disgusting.
he was fairly upset and didn’t know the full situation. he’s not disgusting.
Sure, he was and he's not AS bad as the father, especially on the grounds of being very young, but Yeonho is also literally a servant. The power dynamics there are already incredibly toxic. Kyunghee can be ignorant and still be at fault. He may not be a monster exactly but he's definitely a asshole kid who's too concerned with his own feelings to care about what would actually be good for Yeonho, and he's putting Yeonho in a horrible position. I have no love for him.
That's what I'm saying! Literally about 20 seconds of thinking in his position would be enough to realise Yeonho is a victim, but instead he's trampling all over his already fragile heart. It's actually painful.
Yep exactly. He also literally just does whatever he wants and doesn't even attempt to really communicate with the person he supposedly cares for, whether it's to find out what he's actually feeling or let him in on plans that very much involve him. He basically just decided he wants Yeonho but is not mature enough for a regular relationship, let alone one with a victim of ongoing abuse.
Bruh... What kind of dumb excuse is that to treating people like shit?
Love your translations but what happened to the size of the pages even if I zoom in to read them they're super blurry
So you're avoiding the guy who's doing everything in his power to chase you and got upset when you het-zoned him, but answering the call of a dude who wanted to HIT you? I was about to mark it up to being guarded due to his past but him calling his ex back burned that bridge. Mental illness, get well soon idiot.
The pacing of this story doesn't feel weird. It's a bit faster paced purely because it's looking to be a shorter story, but it's pretty good at getting us the details we need.
Seme already liked the uke so we don't need to wait for that development, and the uke started at least crushing on the seme while they were working together.
There's no need to get into all the details if it isn't going to be slowburn, and the author clearly had no intention of that. Honestly very refreshing in comparison to some other longer webtoons.
