I've read this manhwa like 3 times, and I totally understand why I've given this a high rating on my first read. In my perspective this manhwa definitely wasn't meant to be perceived as some "dark romance" of sorts, but I feel like it intended to capture the psychological depth and impact of abuse on victims, in this case Minho. Reading this was hard to stomach down, not even because of the rape but slowly noticing Minho breaking down and losing his sense of self staying with Wookyung. He became an alcoholic to numb himself from the emotional pain of his situation, while always constantly blaming himself for being in it, as he believed that money could buy his freedom. Something I also noticed with Wookyung was how he'd always feel sorry for Minho and try to "help make his life at ease" just to end up repeating the abuse. Even towards the end he was just as selfish as in the beginning by not letting Minho go, to which I find the ending to be even more heartbreaking. The realism of this story actually hurts dawg, my heart goes out for the people stuck in toxic cycles of abuse
yea, its kind of comforting to see it mirror one of my own relationships. all the bad and sickening parts too.
Whenever I see Ml I feel like crying like bro reminds me of Hyunjae from no reason. That manhwa haunts my dreams
Dear future employers, I gave this manhwa a high rating because of the art style, PLEASE YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND
The way I stopped reading this after hearing one of Mugo's personality was a child or sum anyways I'm back
him being a child was a mistranslation btw so he's not a child
