Wait, so y’all are saying Nakyum is falling for Seungho? Lol isn’t this just Stockholm syndrome yaoi version?
My wishful thinking is hoping for a change in the story where NK and SH is reborn into the modern world and neither of them are fucked up mentally so they can genuinely fall in love or smth cuz damn they’d look good together
And also, Inhun and Seungho are disgusting pieces of shit but that doesn’t mean we can’t like them as characters so pls don’t judge anyone for “rooting” for one or the other. There is no need to excuse either of them cuz it’s quite obvious they’re supposed to be assholes.

A modern setting? Don’t we already have plenty of such yaoi stories with naive bunny characters like Nakyum and rich/handsome/bad boy semes? This story’s main selling point is the historical setting, which is somewhat rare, take that away and you strip the attractiveness of it and all that will be left behind is the generic yaoi tropes. And let’s be honest the characterization in Painter of the Night is not that creative or unique. The portrayal of Korean old society is the most exciting part of it with the occasional smattering of dark brutality and cruelty. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Well ofc I love the historical setting, and I realise that is one of the main brilliant elements of the story. It’s just that if I were to try to imagine those two in a healthy relationship (which I know isn’t realistic cuz yaoi lol) it is impossible to see them in that light in the current life these characters are living, so my mind wandered and I came to think of “Hosik’s story” where the characters are originally placed in modern time, but later in the story it becomes apparent that in the previous lives of the characters, they knew each other. And spicing up this historical setting with some folk lore surrounding rebirth and such, wouldn’t be something I would hate. And besides, I dunno if you have seen it, but the author posted an artwork of Seungho and Nakyum looking fineeee in modern clothes, so I guess I was just imagining things after I saw that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
But in the end, I agree with your opinion to a certain degree, I will still love this no matter if the author happens to change the story altogether and put them in a modern setting or not, it was merely the product of my imagination running wild.

The Korean uploads are still ongoing as far as I can tell on Bomtoon (the actual publisher for this series), but it’s worth mentioning that the talented author regularly goes on a 1 week break in between, and that they did after ch. 62, but after that it hasn’t been updated on Toonkor, but on Bomtoon it has returned and is continuing
As for the the amazing scanlation team, they haven’t dropped this! If you check their tumblr they have informed us they are pushing the updates back a bit and will hopefully provide a new chapter in February (soon~) but it’s not guaranteed!
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the hard work that both the author and scanlation team puts into this~ ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

I skimmed through the raws and I’ve read all of the available English translation so far, but I’m confused as to why people hate McQueen?
Maybe because they read the book...? Hard to say
u will know so soon!! Ed will go thtough hell ALONE, i hated Mc Queen so much then i hated CHeng even more after that McQueen is regaining his place as first for me and Chang is being so childish like Meh he is obvious !! the thing is Ed is suffering and to make it even harder for him the next phase of the story he will find himself stuck between those two d**kheads
