I don't hate this manhwa but isn't 9.5 a bit too much for a cliche story with cliche characters? I thought high ratings were for actual masterpieces not mediocre stories with nice art??

You are right. And it's not only chliche but some parts are just messy written and out of place (not to mention totally questionable) that I and many almost dropped it. The commwnt section was really not having it what Fargo did with the story.Now many are here just for the new couple and byul. That the rating is so up high is because the messy parts came way later when many people have this story 5 or 4 stars and didn't change it.
Also many people are just hanging on this story like their life depends on it . One slightly critism and they jump at you for having an opinion like the replies to your comment below shows

Agreed, It's a story of a rape victim (Hye-sung) literally being chained to his rapist (Dojun) otherwise he gets ill

Everyone has a right to their opinion and I reckon you’re not the only one tired of these cringe inducing stories. I finally managed giving this a try but after 3 chapters I really don’t get why it’s so popular. I suppose characters like these and such a plot is loved here in mangago. Naturally it can’t be compared to true masterpieces, that would be an insult ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ but it’s alright as a light read I guess. I just really can’t stand ukes with girly personality. That’s what really ruins it for me.

Some people will justify anything, as long as there is a "hot" character, or a "cute baby" character to distract from just how revolting the plot is

* look at the ratings shit like BJ Alex gets, despite it being a clear portrayal of rape and an abusive, power imbalanced relationship.

Yeah, there is so much masterpieces must deserve better than this. But this manga is ongoing and new. It is obvious that so many people read this. Especially new fujoshis, i think. Old like me finds truly good one but of course i read new good manga’s quickly. LII is good but not worth for “woaaw”. Also it depends on what genre do you want. In my opinion, new fujoshis like hot sexes and hardcore things or fluffyness. They are especially into good drawings. For me who into yaoi almost 10 years, i only loves to read yaoi what is truly new to me. It can be with too much abuse or incest or whatever. It must give me opinion about “oh this kind of plot can be exist in this world too”, or it should give me thought about seeing what is going on authors head. It must be totally unpredectible.
I think one day new fujoshis will underestand me. Cause it is just times matter. You guys will be no longer hold interest on simple stories and enjoy only sexes.
And i should agree that Love is illusion gave me thought about “what is love” in once upon a time.
Now i need to wonder more and more.

Whoa! What happened here? Does your lives depend on this manhwa and my opinion of it?
Honestly when I was creating this topic I was thinking about how people's scores of films work; if a film has a 9.5 ,it's most likely a masterpiece and perfect in every way possible. Killing stalking has a 9.5 too,are these two manhwas equal in every way?I don't think so.
Idk why you guys get so defensive over such a thing, I think this work deserves an 8 not a zero or anything that's why I said I don't hate this manhwa because I don't,I've been reading it since the very begining but it is not a masterpiece! You guys need to learn that just because you love something doesn't mean it doesn't have flaws,is perfect and people don't have the right to have negative opinions about it.

Honestly,I hadn't read the new chapter yet when everyone here made a huge deal about Yeeun hitting Jiha and now that I read it...it was a simple fight and the things jiha said are bad enough to make someone that mad! Yes, hitting Jiha was wrong but Yeeun isn't supposed to be perfect character, I personally like her a lot...she has a bad temper but she's good overall.

Yyy no

She punched him few times before he pushed her away. You call it fight? If man hit woman a few times and pushed her down he would have big problems if was sued.

If he was sued by his victim*

I wonder what kwon inbeom has to say to seunghee...
Also,anybody else feels bad for inbeom? Like the dude kissed someone without their permission and suffered permenant head injury for it...he seems to have a good personality too...well whatever,I hope he doesn't do anything bad from now on and can have a good ending at least.(note:I skiped the first 20-something chapters so I might have missed something hehe)

I think you skipped more than just 20 chapters. Imbeon is a bully with severe internal homophobia. He uses violence to reject who he is and what he likes (romantically). That boy (Seungtaek) was hurt very badly before Imbeon kissed him against his will. He could have ended up deaf after Imbeon hit him with the helmet. Seungtaek gave Imbeon multiple chances to walk away and/or back off but he will not listen. Seungtaek even told him to go ahead and beat him up if that makes him feel better but again he did not stop his provocation. You basically summarized the whole situation between Seungtaek/Imbeon like this:
Boy A means Boy B.
Boy A kisses Boy B without permission.
Boy B beats up Boy A to a pulp.
Boy A ends up in the hospital.
The End.

You know...I did read those parts but I forgot a lot of stuff because I read it all in one day( ̄∇ ̄") I'm not saying he was innocent or anything tho,I just pity him,he is a miserable character that makes a lot of bad decisions and pays for them accordingly but I can't help wanting a character developement for him,I feel like he can learn and change for the better.

Oh I get what you mean. I do want character development for him. Seunghee went through a character development as well and he is doing great. He is more outgoing thanks to Suhyeok and Imbeon. Seungtaek & Kyubin also went through some changes/improvement as well. Unfortunately, the story is ending soon and I don't think the author/artist is adding more episodes for Imbeon. It is sad that he (Imbeon) wont have a chance to improve himself.

Where can we read the raws?

lezhin....

Pfft, those aren't raws silly, those are the chapters we actually read.
Raws are "untranslated" chapters, the ones (the new chapters) with Jiha is on Lezhin (Translated!), and the raws for some reason have not been updated (?) or Author hasn't posted them yet.

A lovely anon above posted this link ;) It's updated with the g o o d s h i t.
Can someone please tell me what is happening in ch 40??
The new one? I think after seeing ye eun with chulsoo jiha confronts her and ye eun either doesn't understand what he's talking about or is shocked.
They argue and she tries to leave but jiha gets a bit physical and pulls her bag that has all her sex toys in it. Her classmates see her toys and start sharing it on social media causing her reputation to get ruined so she moves away.
Then we see in the present that she sees chulsoo and jiha talking and jiha angrily leaves her with chulsoo.
Idk korean this is just what i think is going in by looking at the panels.
