So that sucked what a waste of time
Story had potential but clearly smut was the priority, and frankly it was all noncon and not interesting at all to read (I just skipped it). Maybe the novel is better but honestly I have no desire to read it.

Rest in peace dugo

MC count his scars this is the perfect opportunity

I truly hope the extended story can reach the same level of quality as the original. Although it’s short, it does such an amazing job conveying the emotions of yujun and establishing the central conflict. Each moment of the five chapters is used effectively, and the ending was set up well and therefore is impactful. At this point, I’m not sure the extended version will have the same impact if it continues to follow the plot points of the original

As of now, I’m not sure how to feel about the creative decisions they’ve made with the extended version. The ML does not feel as intimidating and unhinged. I prefer the introduction of him beating a man w a golf club vs. raping a man at gun point. In the original version he felt like an intelligent, intimidating gang leader. So far his portrayal in the extended version feels more shallow, and more like they are trying to make him like other bl red flags. I think this negatively affects the dynamic btwn the main characters.

Yujun killing the spy hyung in their first meeting also seems better, vs the ML killing him. I just wonder if the authors plan on changing yujuns character, but am unsure since the extended version had him shooting that man in the head in his initial introduction. When understanding yujun, I see his nervous behavior as an act. The extended version follows many similar scenes almost exactly, but also gives us yujuns internal dialogue. It’s like the difference btwn show v tell, and eliminates some of the ambiguity that existed in the original. In the original, there was not enough time to develop his exact backstory so we as an audience have to interpret the text to determine it. However the extended added that hyung character that yujun has a past with, and I’m certainly curious to see how that develops

Next question is what will happen when yujun finds out the truth of who killed his parents. I wonder if the extended version will follow the same plot points, and then shows us what happens between yujun and ML after that. Even if that does happen, the extended version is already a slightly different story.

No matter what path the extended version decides to take, the original will remain good. I only hope the creators have a clear vision for these characters

I’m not sure why some of the comments are surprised and/or disappointed? Last season it was firmly established this guy was an abusive ex and that he and Theo had known each other since they were much younger. This season is starting exactly where season one ended; gunner raping Theo. If you didn’t drop it then, I’m not sure why you would expect the scene to go any differently.

The backstory shows why despite him being abusive, Theo still cares about his ex. They were both in abusive households, and both found comfort in each other. Like in this chapter, both were isolated, without a place to call home and unsure where to go, but they find each other.

Of course Theo wouldn’t punch gunner to get him off, he still sees the teenager who’s dad abused him. Even though gunner has hurt him, Theo still remembers the time of the past they felt comfort with each other. Even when someone hurts you, it can be hard to let go of the positive memories you share.

From season one, it’s been clear this is a love triangle. More accurately, it seems like it’ll be about Theo completely separating himself from his abusive ex and start dating Dylan. I understand why this story wouldn’t be for everyone, and no one is forcing you to read it. But this scene didn’t come out of nowhere, we’ve known this would happen for months.

Oh I LOOOOVE seeing jaekyung suffer, this is so fun to read

Finale ??? Are you kidding me? Hopefully the author is ending this story on their own terms and wasn’t forced to end it early. Either way I’m frustrated and disappointed. The beginning had so much potential but this ending is completely underwhelming. So many things were never fully explained, their relationships ends with a somewhat awkward dynamic. There were so many compelling parts of this story, but it completely fizzled out by the end.

I’m tired of manhwa having rushed stories that hastily tie things up at the end. I’m tired of authors introducing conflict within the last ten chapters that they don’t have enough time to resolve. I’m tired of the side stories being a way to wrap up a clumsy plot.

At the very least I hope the author is satisfied with this ending, cause I can guarantee I’m not the only reader that’s disappointed

I wanted side stories of the main couple, not this?????

Dojun is so engrossed in his own anxiety and self-doubt that he doesn’t accept he’s an important support figure to taeseok. He doesn’t think he’s worthy of taeseoks love and devotion.

Having a mental illness makes it difficult to be in a relationship, it can make it difficult to reciprocate your partners affection. When you’re in a dark place, it can hard to see outside your own struggles and notice people around you are going through similar situations. You can become so consumed with your own despair you’re blind to the struggles of the people around you. That doesn’t excuse dojun being inconsiderate of taeseoks feelings of course. Taeseok is a kind person that deserves proper communication.

I understands people’s frustration with Dojun. He definitely is not an easy person to be close to, he should be more respectful of taeseoks emotions. You don’t have to like him, but you don’t have to minimize his own struggles. There’s nothing wrong with him breaking up with taeseok and focusing on his own mental health. Sometimes it’s better to spend time apart and become healthier, rather than brining someone else into your downward spiral.

Though this story may not go that route, and I hope it doesn’t (since this is fiction and I like happpy endings). At the end of the chapter dojun is telling the mom to be honest to taeseok , and I wonder if he’s simultaneously telling himself the advice. He should be honest to taeseok, be open and tell him his doubts. I hope he delivers the box and talks to him, I hope they reconcile.

Cheeseboulder is the one that looks kind of like han sooyoung, right?? Cause this chapter she mentioned “dragon flame”

It’s probably a coincidence but I’m so obsessed w ORV I notice it everywhere

If they’re kidnapping Hansol to get revenge against sungwon, whats the point ??? They already posted that article, sungwon has been disowned from the family, knows his dad cheated. He’s essentially a powerless beta with no connections and no support system, what’s the point???? He didn’t even do anything to deserve all this
