I liked Dohyun in Omega Complex, he was a super cutie patootie, but he had such second male lead syndrome and was so “younger guy” that that was all he rlly was, a cutie patootie…
BUT WOW HOT DAMN OLDER MORE MATURE MORE CONFIDENT MORE REAL AND HIMSELF DOHYUN IS SO FINNNEEEEE !!! He has me laughing and smiling and I LOVE how our MC doesn’t take shit, it always happens to me with the secondary story spin-off/side couples but DAMN, I’m already loving and becoming more obsessed with these two than I ever was w our cuties from Omega Complex oops

I love Mi Xi and I love seeing Mi Xi with Xu Shang, but also I feel for Xu Shang so bad :((( he went through so much development in season 1 with moving past trauma and going from being blackmailed to finding a trust and understanding w Mi Xi only for it all to fall apart when Mi Xi leaves and has 0 contact for years at the exact time his mother catches him cross dressing…
Ohhh that scene with his mom at the end of season 1 hurts so bad, Xu Shang went through so much to find ppl and places he could be himself and be free and happy and then it’s like his mom slapped him with a “society is cruel” reality check and Mi Xi is gone and-
With how all of his other meaningful relationships in his life have been (his mom, that middle school friend/crush, etc) ON TOP of the whole craziness that is Mi Xi and that doll it’s no wonder he’s having such a hard time with Chris coming back just to throw a new doubt into his toppling pile of self doubt and issues and and and-
Oohhh Xu Shang, my child, please find happiness and be yourself and be free and in love ╥﹏╥
finally getting a sliver of perspective of Black hair guy (forgot his name sorry bro ) after chapters and chapters of him being so emotionless and bland and plain bread and having 0 interest in his interest in Sihyeon…
AND NOW IM SO SAD, THE APOLOGIES IN TEARS OMG OG!SIHYEON DESERVES TO BE MADE HAPPY W HOW MUCH THE GROUP CARES ABOUT HIM AND NOW I WISH BLACK HAIR GUY AND OG!SIHYEON COULD BE HAPPY TOGETHER IN SOME OTHER UNIVERSE
Need me some Daejun back for our hajin!Sihyeon tho, I love our scarred mans
I’m actually tears running down my face, ugly sniffling, crying at these chapters… Penelope… you deserve to be loved and feel loved… the Duke needed to say these things and hug you… oh my god… a hurt, traumatized, unloved child finally receiving the care and affection from a parent they should’ve received it from since the start… the wrongs against Penelope being corrected to the person who needs to give that care and affection to her… fuck oh my god
Mujin and the fake-Jiheon really annoyed me as characters, like don’t get me wrong I absolutely love and adore crazy obsessive tops and their weird possessive freak-ness but they were NOT IT for my boy Jaewoo. Since the moment Jaewoo woke up in this novel it was just him falling for Hyeonjin and wanting him to be happy and I loved seeing him develop to the point that he could admit he wanted to be happy WITH him…
Mujin and Eunjoo are cut from the same cloth of crazy which is clearly not Jaewoo’s type and also they so obviously do not care about Jaewoo, they just want to own him and not even in the fun way…
I never took this story too seriously from the start bc it seemed pretty light hearted, cliche-like, and fast-paced (I say that all positively) but at the end I’m really just watching Jaewoo and Hyeonjin and the lil brothers and going “WHY CANT THEY JUST BE HAPPY TOGETHER?!?”
Jaewoo and Hyeonjin were truly born to slice-of-life romance and forced to angst-drama-tragedy ╥﹏╥
ITS BEEN 100 CHAPTERS BUT WE’RE FINALLY GETTING DEVELOPMENT AND BLUSHY SCENES IM GIGGLINGGGGG (≧∀≦)
