ikr ( T﹏T )

thank you for such a levelheaded comment. it’s funny how this manhwa invokes a lot of feelings from the readers that a lot of them ended up taking sides instead of seeing the characters’ situation from an unbiased point of view. i guess many of them relates to one character or the other so they project upon the characters based on their personal views and how they see fit. inbeom was a bully but he stopped after the incident and changed for the better. he lost his school life and friends from before and ended up living alone amicably, not re-living his past and instead working to support himself while he looked for closure. seungtaek has that impulsive violent streak in him but he only ever acted violently after being pushed to the very edge. other than his destructive episodes, he was just a proper student who lived his life in a civilized manner. these sides of them were shown that they’re just very flawed human beings who deserve second chances. they’re not evil, not at all. but they weren’t exactly angels too. the author did not portray them as being solely the villains and heroes in this story. inbeom shouldn’t have bullied and harassed seungtaek and seungtaek, while he has the right for a payback, shouldn’t have gone overboard. these things that happened between them were clearly intended to be a catalyst for them to improve as human beings. that was the ultimate goal of the author. inbeom wasn’t meant to be the villain who needed to be defeated and seungtaek wasn’t meant to be the perfect prince. spoiler in case you haven’t read the raws: both of them got their happy endings! so all will be well. people shouldn’t really put one on a pedestal and the other as a heinous villain. they’re just flawed human beings who made mistakes. i’m sorry for adding too much to your post, but your input was very much needed.

his rage is understandable - however, him beating inbeom was NEVER ok.

typo correction: beating him to the point of near death*

I love your reply, very well-said. And yes, I read the raws too and got very happy for how it all ended(⌒▽⌒) seungtaek trying to prevent Inbeom from falling made me love him even more,and Inbeom finally resolving this issue with seungtaek and moving on is the best thing he could do.

He wasn't near death though. He suffered brain damage but he wasn't near death because he clearly could walk and hear when kyubin was talking to him. Also I don't think it was ok for seungtaek to beat him that badly but it was also not ok for inbeom to bully seungtaek and beat him multiple times alongside with kissing him without his permission.

It definitely was near death, but thing is that sadly not many of the other characters gave enough of a fuck to give inbeom any attention - and I guess this includes the author her/himself lol. it's actually quite sad how lonely and friendless he is despite his efforts to do life with others. Also medically speaking, when your brain is in peril (i.e. a concussion) like that one, it's super easy for the body to just shut down.
I understand that you really stubbornly stan the other character (I used to be on the fence about him bc I really like his boyfriend - now I think he's just a dick that needs anger management). But it's funny that you think you're being unbiased when all you are doing is using words to finagle logic into fitting your interpretation of what's going on in the plot. Let's be real ╮(￣▽￣)╭

btw I agreed a lot with your original topic post, I just don't resonate with people justifying sungtaek's savage behavior. it's like he has a beast (metaphor for pent-up anger/frustration) inside that gets triggered once in a blue moon, and when it does, it's :-O ... I'd be fine with his plot arc if he ever came to realize he needs helps, instead of just letting his bf take the blame every time.
I don't want to spoil this manhwa for myself but I do hope the little fucker grows up. and for inbeom I hope he stops feeling disoriented - trauma-caused amnesia is not fun.

What good things did he have and lose?

Also if he was beaten near death Kyubin would have been charged with aggravated assault or attempted murder. It was a bad beating but not near death. Inbeom is also the one who knocked Seungtaek our cold across the head with a helmet which could also lead to brain injury resulting in amnesia.

Sungtaek was much worse for letting Kyubin take the blame.

I agree with you,especially about the author not giving a fuck about inbeom. I praised them for making him realistic but I must say,the way others treat him is too mean. I don't think he changed from bad to good because of what happened with seungtaek,he seemed to think his friends were real and actually liked hanging with them but they didn't care about him. Also the fact that seungtaek never asked how inbeom was bothers me;after what happened between them it is natural to actually be worried about the other person but he never asked and the biggest effort kyubin made was asking "how's inbeom?"from his cousin,which is not enough considering the severity of inbeom's injury.
P.s: I lowkey feel like the author didn't look that deep about inbeom's condition,because none of the characters treated it as a life and death situation,so I assumed it wasn't. But medically speaking,you're right.

The reason why I'm trying not to take sides is that we are at a point in the story where we don't exactly know what will happen later on. I really hope for seungtaek to regret what he did and at least try to compensate. I feel like him acknowledging he has issues won't happen,because...well the character realising they have a problem and seeking help is quite rare in manhwa unfortunately.

You make good points, thanks for the thoughtful responses :)
