wait why is this actually kind of boring
like i cant believe this is the same person who made hogu hagyeongsu, love shuttle, and hyanghyeon text. this story is completely soulless. i dont even have any attachment to these characters, and i feel like theres zero world building or personality to the cast. it's more like reading a bizarre hentai.
not to mention this is almost entirely a single panel format with heavily traced poses from (assumedly) csp assets. you can look at im ae-ju’s earlier works (even going back to food chain) and see the obvious difference between a passion project and a cash grab by the publishers. she’s an amazing artist when she draws characters and stories she loves.
i see a lot of people say iltak deserves all this treatment because he’s homophobic, but i think this chapter gave a new perspective on why he feels the way he does.
honestly no getting a kiss from the same gender when you're a kid shouldnt make you homophobic, when its a little boy giving a little girl a kiss the adults think its cute but when its the same gender its supposed to be traumatizing enough to make you homophobic ? i dont agree with the thing about iltak deserving it neither even if iltak was the worst shithead in the past it doesnt mean he deserves to be sexually harassed and humiliated the way he has
this must be the worst existence. bro has to choose between being with an emotionally and potentially physically abusive celebrity or live in constant existential suffering in a job he hates while in a limbo period waiting for his grandma to die. i say let him walk into the ocean!
