Ok I thought the reason Doha “betrayed” would be like him being afraid to come out or some teenage bs, but damn, Shiwoon was pushing out red flags en masse! Completely nuts, yeah most people wouldn’t be able to put up with that level of obsession, dependence, and instability. Siwoon holdong a grudge for a chain of events that was entirely his fault and could have been prevented with actual communication that long is yet another red flag.
well, it's not his fault he grew up in an abusive household. It's not his fault he felt unloved by his parents. I don't think it's weird for him to lack communication skills considering how much of a loner he was, and how he was used for money most of the time. Some people become the way they are because they were shaped to be that way.
Yeah I definitely don’t think it’s deliberate, but that would be a lot for anyone, much less a young high schooler to handle.
he was a kid. traumatic experiences follow you throughout your entire life. he’s learning and growing throughout this entire story.
Way to blame the victim. So all the conflict is Martin’s fault for resisting being used as a sex slave and breeding stock?! I bet redhead would feel different if it was him or his daughter being told to endure the same
Plus, it was that redhead's fault sinclair got dragged into it, he kept tipping off crimson, which then lead them to sinclair and martin, like wtfff really hate the guy now
This reads like one of those delusional male fantasies… the progression, the dialogue, just ridiculous (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
I’m out of this one. I’m so sick of comics that try to justify abusive, controlling, harmful, and quite literally criminal behaviors towards the bottom, but then has the universe magically align so no matter what bullshit “consequences” the top receives they still get everything they wanted in the end. I’m just sick of it. There are so many ways to write conflict or problems in a relationship without crossing the line.
Kind of over the premise tbh. If he was being altruistic he didn’t have to force her to marry him, and if he just wanted to use her, he could have made a mutually beneficial deal that was advantageous to him. I’m just tired of the abused puppy fl imprinting on the first person to show “kindness” trope, and the “he’s actually really kind if you ignore his unkind behavior” trope
Brother: hires Hakyung to pretend to be a girl to ingratiate himself into the family, act as his brother’s fiancée, and scam his grandfather into giving a more favorable inheritance to him (the brother)
Hakyung: literally just does the job he was hired to do, but ends up feeling guilty, catching feels, and getting into a real relationship
Grandfather: literally dying
Brother: forces Hakyung to leave while he’s barely out of a hospital bed and tells his brother he DIED after the car accident (where his brother was the driver)
Also brother to Hakyung: I can’t believe you’re so shameless, everything is your fault. My brother got depression and tried to commit suicide because you followed my orders and di$ what I said, but it’s clearly not my fault for orchestrating everything!
It was the dad that hired him to pretend to be a girl.
Oof
And it’s going to be impossible to really get meaningful understanding because he has no way of explaining anything without looking like a liar or crazy
Imagine if this entire sequence of events including the escape and wedding were all another illusion (⊙…⊙ )
