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.
OMG YESS THIS IS SO WELL-SAID
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
one of the other people in their group is called dragon flame, that’s why.
still, a nice interpretation
Oh really?? Tbh I don’t remember all their names, there’s so many characters
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
Pls stop you two need to have an actual conversation, I don’t care if you have matching moles
I feel like Doha is relying on yeonwoo for everything. What did he do during those months of no contact? He hasn’t studied at all on his own, he’s only doing this because of yeonwoo. It’s understandable that Doha is having difficulty adjusting to his life now that he’s no longer doing illegal things, but what I dislike is the dependency on yeonwoo. What does yeonwoo get from this relationship, sex? A whiny man child?
Yeonwoo had finally gotten used to life without him, when Doha suddenly returned. Yeonwoo might have been a bit lonely, but that wasn’t guaranteed to be permanent. He could have found a new man to date. Unlike Doha, yeonwoo has his life somewhat figured out and can function on his own.
I think Doha needs to find a direction in his life that doesn’t rely on yeonwoo. He needs to find a path he truly cares about. If that’s passing these exams then fine,but actually be dedicated. And what comes after that? No sir you are not getting a noble prize, but sure be a scientist though that field has high barrier to entry and required a lot more education than a middle school diploma.
Either way it’s unfair of Doha to act this way, and makes this relationship somewhat unsatisfying. At the beginning since he was doing dangerous illegal stuff, he was purposely avoiding yeonwoo to try and prevent a more serious relationship. But now it’s the complete opposite. He has nothing except his relationship with yeonwoo.
I can only hope that the author actually develops Dohas character. That’s the only way this relationship will be enjoyable to read again.
You said everything I was thinking perfectly thank you
My god this chapter made me so anxious. This guy has so many issues, I was so concerned for kyuhos safety when reading this.
Oms yeeees when he started to walk towards kyuho stepping on the broken glasses and making that dark expression i was so worried that he would do something
Technically him breaking the glass is abuse - it's an implied threat of violence. But I was really worried there would be hitting or SA! So tense the entire chapter
I thought I WAS THE ONLY ONE. I was thinking, " Wait this isn't psychological??" Because I was ready for him to STAB HIM. I was scared and the fact that he STEPPED ON THE GLASS???
Exactly! If you raise your voice at me, that’s abuse in my books, too. It’s something I’d communicate with my partner before we get together and get serious
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.
