Clarification: in season 2 (now) he is an adult, his birthday is in winter and it is now spring. So yeah, they’re both adults now. I know this, but it just feels weird how Seju claims he was like a parent to Sejin, and Seju was his legal guardian and such, and we know they’re gonna ending up doing the boombayah. Yeah, they’re consenting adults, so it’s fine, not saying it’s bad or disgusting, but it feels a little odd to me. Despite that, I actually really like this series, it’s cute

IM SCREAMING I love when BDSM relationships are healthy, I also love when they’re actually sadists and masochists and not just into spanking and toys like most s/m BLs portray such a misunderstood concept. So much more emotional depth, and I like that Yuan is genuinely enthusiastic as well and not just going along. In most “BDSM” BL, it’s either not real BDSM (just a toy fetish usually, or occasional bdsm themes like spanking or leashes) or it’s INSANELY toxic straight up abuse-and-excuse smut. I like this because the angst was solved in a healthy manner (not through the course of 20 chapters either lol) and I didn’t wanna scream at the screen, Yuan was threatened and stood up for himself AND HIS PARTNER (THANK YOU ILY GET HIM) and then communicated what happened before moving forward with his feelings. I can’t express enough how happy I am that THEYRE NOT TOXIC and they really represent that masochism can be genuine and so can sadism, in healthy ways that don’t lean harshly in favor of one or the other. Not only that but the aftercare is giving me life. It’s not a top going, “oh you like pain? I’ll hurt you and fk you at the same time then so it’s fair” it’s two people in a genuine s/m relationship that are actively communicating and reassuring each other, and they’re clearly both into the dynamic. I love them and I love this and I’m sorry for ranting, but genuine S/M BL is hard to find and I really love this

Reading this again after 8 years because it’s October and I need some psychological-thriller media in my life. Unlike what I thought 8 years ago in my youthful stupidity, it’s definitely not yaoi
For the people saying it is, it’s not. A horror movie where s-xual cr-mes take place isn’t hentai/porn, it’s a type of depiction and a common reality of Stockholm Syndrome. Just because two men have sex DOESNT make it yaoi, this is a psychological thriller and there are scenes of two men having very disturbing sexual interactions that are brought on by abuse, manipulation, threats, etc.
not to mention Sangwoo is straight, he stays straight, and literally couldn’t even get it up when Yoonbum wasn’t wearing female clothes. He’s not gay, he’s a psycho who used him as a toy, not as a lover or even sex partner
This is not meant to even focus on a relationship, on sex, or on gay men or a mlm relationship. THATS what makes this NOT yaoi. Its explicit, yes, it’s a story that features two men, yes, but those are the only connections made here to Yaoi.
Hopefully that clarifies why this is NOT yaoi and I’m hoping no one sees this as anything more than a psychological situation. Anyways, happy spooky season everyone! Stay safe!

so well said. It’s a shame that too many ignorant children have read with manhwa without having the maturity and comprehension skills to grasp it as it is. I also first read this manhwa wayyy too long young but i feel as though it was obvious from the very start that there wasn’t anything romantic about it. It gave me chills, it made me so uncomfortable. it was definitely eye opening at the time. Killing Stalking should have been known as the psychological masterpiece it actually is instead of “a dark yaoi/Bl”. If only it reached a different audience when it blew up those years ago. It’s a real shame. I hope more people read your comment and understand.
