Jian is cuter and sexier than any of his bitter antis could ever hope to be. He literally gave your precious Jitae and Mieum a damn gift. You know what?
Cry harder about it. The majority of actual readers and people who buy the story are supportive and looking forward to seeing how the author develops JinJian. And guess what? The author already confirmed they’ll be explored further in Season 3 lol.
Y’all keep slutshaming with the same tired argument like a broken record. If you love applying “logic” to BL porn so much, why aren’t you asking how the hell Mieum’s tiny little ass can take Jitae’s dick that’s supposedly the size of his thigh? Or why there’s literally zero mention of enemas or prep in 99% of BL?
But no because Jian had sex with someone else before, that automatically makes him filthy, right? Yeah, he’s never taken a shower in his life. Just like how your precious innocent Mieum had to suck Jitae’s already-used dick haha.
To give an accurate opinion, I think ss 2 ended too quickly, and it’s obvious the author wanted to push all the major events into ss 3. She just want to stretched the story into Season 3 isn’t she? Whatever.
I’ve never really been a fan of this series’ plot, it’s too messy, full of unnecessary drama, and a lot of the time, it just feels like the characters are acting tough and then having sex instead of actually doing anything. But somehow, I ended up liking Jian, so I try to understand the plot and ignore the flaws because he’s just that interesting to me. Jin, on his own, isn’t that exciting, but his dynamic with Jian is. Honestly, Jian is so compelling that whoever he interacts with automatically becomes more interesting to me, like Jitae, i was interesting in their bromance, even rival role but now Jitae brain only care about mieum so, i don’t care about him that much anymore, and mieum? He only important to Jitae, he just a unlucky pure angel get stuck to this messy drama tbh, i have no deep feeling for him since that all he are, angel alway feel guilty character even though he did nothing wrong i guess.
Of course, there will always be some salty anti-fans who try to downplay Jian’s role in the story, so let me just say this, without Jian, Cry Me a River wouldn’t even start. Mieum wouldn’t be with Jitae and would probably be dead, because if Jian hadn’t covered up the fact that Mieum survived, Suryeon would never have let it slide. Jitae wouldn’t have stood a chance at protecting Mieum. And without Jian, Jin wouldn’t have had any reason to team up with Jitae, so let’s see how Jitae would magically find evidence against Suryeon all on his own.
Jian doesn’t just push the plot forward, he has a deep and unpredictable personality. Even now, besides helping the main couple, his true goal is still a mystery. Even at his worst, struggling with addiction, he could still easily manipulate Jin, exactly the kind of sassy, cunning energy I love.
If there’s one thing I don’t like about Jian’s story, it’s that in ss2 the author makes him suffer too much. In Season 1, even while dealing with addiction, he still did a lot of thing and have his own plan. But now, he’s just stuck in a cycle of pain. At least by the end of Season 2, even though he’s more pitiful, but he’s gotten back his sharp, manipulative side. I really hope that in Season 3, he recovers and finally reveals his true plans, preferably while seducing Jin into working with him.
the author is sick rn so i think s3 will be a bit longer
Oh, I see now. If that’s the case, then you can’t really blame the author…
Jin is basically a pet that was abandoned and push away by Jian so he went crazy, he just needs a little coaxing, a bit of affection, and he’ll immediately melt into obedience.
Does Jian provokes and seduce Jin because he truly desires that dick, or because he wants forcing Jin to see the mess he’s become instead of some pathetic, idealized memory?
Jin kisses him, and zooms in Jian’s eyes that look both surprises and sad. So Jian still hasn’t opened his heart to Jin.
They’re driving me insane, but at least they finally kissed. And now I have to wait six months to see what Jin will do next. He doesn’t even know how to kiss properly of course he doesn’t, the virgin. Jian was supposed to be the one in control here…
At this point, I really wish Majjip-nim had separated the two couples into different stories because they are just too different in terms of appeal. Combining them in one story makes it hard to satisfy both fanbases. In Season 1, JinJian were necessary for the plot since they had to support Jitae, but now, they have no reason to help him anymore, Jitae can take care of himself. JinJian should focus on building their own relationship without being involved with Jitae any longer.
I know many fans of the main couple are frustrated that JinJian take up screen time, but trust me, as someone who reads only for JinJian, I’m not exactly thrilled either. I don’t enjoy having to go through ten chapters of a couple I have no interest in just to get a few scattered moments of the one I actually like. But in the end, this is the author’s choice, there’s no way to force them to change it.
Still, I was surprised that the author ended Season 2 with an entire chapter dedicated to the side couple… But whatever, they kissed, so I’m satisfied. We’re going to be apart from them for at least another half a year anyway.
AGREEED
I guess Jung-Ah has turned into another brainless antagonist now? Whatever, I’m only focusing on JinJian at this point.
Jin got injured on his chin, so I wonder if the author is hinting at a fight. Could it have been with Suryeon? Or Hajoon?
Jian’s condition is getting worse, just as expected. So, Jin, are you going to keep playing the cold and indifferent role?
So Suryeon has realized that Jian has his own plans and wants to go against her, which is why she pushed him into addiction? Seriously, what is that plan? Can I find out in the next chapter? Don’t just turn Jian into a punching bag for the story!
To those who call Secretary Jung-Ah selfish or anything like that,
Remember, she’s an outsider, just an employee who happened to fall for Soeun, her mistress. She did her duty well by keeping Jitae safe in that insane family, and now everyone is rushing to criticize her just because she wants Jitae to focus on revenge?
Do you even know what real selfishness is? Soeun is gone. Jung-Ah could have completely abandoned Jitae to survive by himself and gone off to find another beautiful woman to love. But she didn’t move on, she stayed, continuing to support Jitae. And honestly, if she had moved on and left him behind, who could blame her? Tell me.
Wake up!
What does Jung-Ah owe Jitae, besides the fact that he’s the son of the person she deeply loved?
Jitae isn’t even like Soeun, he doesn’t treat Jung-Ah with warmth like a sister. He sees her purely as a servant. So why should Jung-Ah care about him?
Did Jitae ever care about her?
Jitae treats no one as important except Mieum, and that’s fine, he gets all the understanding. But if someone else doesn’t love Jitae unconditionally (like your so pure, perfect little angel Mieum), suddenly it’s a crime? Yeah, sure. You all act like without Jung-Ah looking after him, Jitae would have survived long enough to meet his one and only angel Mieum. LOL.
I know a lot of people worship Jitae to the point where they don’t even want to acknowledge how ridiculous and ungrateful he is. He treats the one person who’s always been by his side, protect him like she’s nothing, still orders Jung-Ah around while mocking and taunting her. Idc i defense my girl.
I guess the fate of side characters is that no matter how much they sacrifice or help the main character, if they don’t love them unconditionally and dare to have personal desires, they’ve committed a serious crime. LOL.
I don’t even like Jung-Ah, but the way people are so desperate to hate on her is honestly hilarious.
I don’t disagree with you but he could’ve survived without her tbh it just wouldn’t have been as good as this because the lady that has been thinking she has him under her control could have killed him a long time ago but the grand father is the one that kept him alive for his own amusement. Jitae could have been dead but they decided to keep him alive but him being grateful to her isn’t as easy as it seems especially when she hid everything from him and he found out on his own. Yes she could have left like you said but at the same time he has no reason to be grateful to someone that wants him to act on revenge and hid the truth about his mom from him. And I don’t dislike her but I’m just saying you wouldn’t be happy about that either, and I get that she lobed his mother but she could have at least told him something. And she didn’t come to help him until a while later.
??? You still think Jung-Ah is obligated to help Jitae even though she only promised to keep an eye on him? Basically, just being there to support and stay by Jitae’s side is enough to fulfill her duty. And you’re saying Jitae has no obligation to be grateful to her just because she hid the fact that Mieum wasn’t involved in his mother’s death? He never respected or treated her well even before that. Did you even read the story properly?
Even though she was labeled the “adopted sister” of Jitae’s mother, Jitae was never kind to her. The author made it clear that Jitae, since childhood, never cared about anyone except Mieum. Go back and read chapter 54 before replying to me. He was indifferent even before knowing about Mieum, which gives Jung-Ah even more reason to not have any fondness for him. Stop defending Jitae so mindlessly. From the beginning, he wanted to avenge his mother, so why is he blaming Jung-Ah for pushing him to focus on revenge?
And where did you get the idea that Jung-Ah only started helping Jitae much later? She was following him since Soeun was still alive. Did you misread something? Or are you so convinced that Jitae cared about no one but Mieum that you assumed he really had no one by his side? Read the story carefully.
I’m not denying that Jung-Ah wasn’t fully devoted to Jitae, but from the start, she only cared about his mother, she had no obligation to him. Just being around to support him until now is already more than generous. What, do you think Jung-Ah is his mother or something, that she has to take responsibility for him?
Oh, so according to your naïve logic, when you rely on and ask someone for help countless times, you’re allowed to look down on them just because they kept a secret from you while still continuing to order them around as you please? Sure, your Jitae is always right. Everyone else is just wrong.
I never said he is always right and everyone else was wrong and I never said she was obligated to help him I said that she could have left a long time ago instead of sticking around him and no he doesn’t have to feel grateful towards someone he never asked to help. She on her own chose that path. And he never had a easy life growing up or getting treated right which is why he in different towards others, but the only person who really cared about him for him and not because of his family was mieum which is why he only care for him. Both her and him aren’t good people so they don’t need to be greatful or nice to each other. And its not like she cared about him either, she only cared about his mother. So just like he inky care for mieum , she also only care for his mom.
He didn’t ask for help, so there’s no need to feel grateful? Wow, you must be really popular in real life.
So gratitude is only valid if the person helping has no ulterior motives? That’s a new truth to me. Guess there’s no need to be grateful if you didn’t ask for it.
Sorry, but from what I’ve read, Jitae is still making her work for him while calling her selfish. Haha. Oh, if he’s so perfect and doesn’t need anyone’s help, then he should just handle Mieum and his own problems by himself.
Stop relying on someone ‘selfish’ like Jung-Ah. Try firing her and see how that goes. lol
Go read chapter 45 again. We clearly don’t share the same world view on this BL.
Bottom line, Jung-Ah has been helping Jitae a lot, yet he still treats her like nothing. Yeah, sure, go ahead and justify his apathy by bringing up his circumstances. I still stand my point, Jitae is ungrateful selfish little shit thank you. Like bro, i don’t even hate Jitae, but Jitae fan logic really make me feel different now.
I never said he had to feel grateful only if he asked for help I said he doesn’t have to feel grateful. I know it’s not a good thing but some people are like that. And I never said he was good and I’m always on his side. I said the reason he is like that because he basically don’t like her and I’m not justifying his logic or why he do what he do because he not a good person but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a story too. I was only saying that they both aren’t good people. And just because she is helping him doesn’t mean she care or like him either she just wants revenge and that’s what they are gonna do. He chose her to help because she the only one around that’s not going against him or turning her back on him, that’s why he keeps her around. And yes he could do without her but it will be much harder if he did because she has been doing everything for him now. And just fyi I never said I was on his side. I don’t hate him but I don’t like his ways either I am only explaining why he do what he do, not saying it’s right!
Agree
I think my biggest mistake was using my brain to read this BL because it’s clear that both the author and the fans have major logic issues. But whatever, Jitae is still the best, he so cool and love mieum x999 that only thing important. Though if I asked these fans to list what Jitae can actually do without anyone else’s help, using actual proof from the story and not baseless headcanons or his moments of flexing on villains, I doubt they could.
Chapter 39: Jitae knew nothing about his mother’s death. That information was given to him by Jin.
Jin was also the one who provided Jitae with intel on Suryeon. Do you really think Jitae could’ve easily gathered information on Suryeon without Jin? That woman might be easily provoked, but she’s not stupid. If she were, she wouldn’t have held power for ten years or managed to get into this family in the first place.
Let’s not forget that Jin was always by Suryeon’s side because she trusted him—not someone sitting at home, pretending to be a useless playboy like Jitae. I’m not blaming Jitae or saying he could’ve done anything differently because he was under constant surveillance, but that doesn’t change the fact that he needed help to fight Suryeon. And let’s be real, Jin has done the most in this entire story despite having the least screen time.
Then there’s Jian. If Jian hadn’t turned a blind eye and covered for Jitae (Chapters 19-24), maybe Jitae’s plan wouldn’t have been exposed. And when everything fell apart, it was Jian who spoke up for Jitae and Mieum so Suryeon wouldn’t go after them (Chapter 42). Not to mention, Mieum might not have even survived to meet Jitae if Jian hadn’t intervened. Why? Chapter 34 explains that if Mieum’s idiot father hadn’t Go meet Suryeon, Jian wouldn’t have dragged Mieum into this mess. But if Mieum’s father went missing, wouldn’t Mieum have gone looking for him everywhere? And if he ended up in Suryeon’s sights, do you really think he’d still be alive? Jitae can’t do shit to protect Mieum if that happened.
Jian didn’t gain anything from helping Jitae and Mieum. He did it because he felt guilty about taking everything from Jitae even though it wasn’t something he wanted in the first place. His own mother forced him into this family, and later, he even found out he wasn’t Yoon Kang son.
Then there’s Jung-Ah. Every time she appears, it’s Jitae ordered her to do something, whether it’s taking care of Mieum or helping with his revenge. But no, since she has selfish motives, apparently Jitae doesn’t need to be grateful. Sure, whatever. But does that change the fact that she’s helping him and still is?
Tell me, where in the story does it show that Jitae can fight on his own without anyone’s help? Right now, Jitae, aside from shitting at villains and making everyone around him walk on eggshells by word, what exactly is he doing? Please, enlighten me, because at this point, instead of just seeing him as an ungrateful brat, I actually think he’s completely useless. Yeah, sure, he’s not in the wrong and has no other choice, but that doesn’t change the fact that he literally can’t do anything without other people helping him.
I never said that he doesn’t need anyone, you keep twisting my words around. I said he would have a more difficult time without help from Jung ah. It wouldn’t be impossible for him to do it on his own but it would be much harder and I never said I disagreed with you I only said that they were both at fault for what they doing. Yes they both are helping each other because she wants revenge and so does he. And Jitae would need help from other people yes to get faster evidence, but I never said from anyone else. I was talking about Jung ah. He would have a hard time without her but it’s not like he can’t do nothing. And I like him too, and her a lil. But I never said he was all that and he could accomplish everything on his own. Because if Mieum left or died he would break and wouldn’t be able to do anything. So yes we know he needs him. I don’t disagree with what you are saying but if we are gonna blame one person we might as well blame em all because just as Jung ah did things, He did too
I read the story so I know what happened I’m not defending either of them or how he could do this and that but they both should take accountability
I know Jitae is pitiful, and maybe Mieum is the only one who truly loves him purely or whatever, but it’s not like Jitae is actually alone??? Even if no one loves him the way his mother or Mieum does, thanks to Jin, Jian, and Jung-Ah, Jitae has been able to stay healthy, free, and alive long enough to fight back against that wicked woman.
First of all, Jitae himself doesn’t even love those three, so why expect them to love him? When he was younger, he was only decent to Jian, and that’s why Jian cared about him enough to keep covering for him, right? As for Jin, sure, their relationship is mutually beneficial, but Jin has still helped Jitae a lot, giving him the chance to resist Suryeon in the first place. And Jung-Ah? It feels like everyone is just attacking her now, calling her out for “using” Jitae, but she did her job, she watched over him and made sure he survived in that household, just as she promised Soeun. The one she truly simped for was Soeun, not the son who treats her as coldly as a servant. And even if her reasons were selfish, she still did her job well, what else do you want her to do? Go and tell Jitae to live carefree, simp Mieum and ignore his mother dead?
I don’t blame Jitae, he’s not at fault here. But the issue is that the other characters are also not obligated to love him. The story makes it clear that Jitae doesn’t love anyone except Mieum, yet the people around him still support and help him in so many ways, only to have it all dismissed just because they don’t “truly love Jitae”? Seriously? Is Jitae really go this far with just Mieum love? I know people only care about the main characters and ignore how much the supporting ones have done for them, just because they had selfish reasons, all their help gets thrown away.
I also don’t understand why the author keeps emphasizing that Jitae only needs Mieum while still having other characters help him. It’s a bit frustrating.
Am I the only one who thinks Jitae’s father is terrible? Like, sure, Suryeon being a scumbag and making him raise someone else’s kid is one thing, but would a decent person really welcome his mistress’s child with open arms right in front of his pregnant wife like it’s nothing?
Not to mention, Soeun already looked depressed even before the marriage. I don’t know what happened to her, but this doesn’t seem like a happy marriage at all.
No matter how the author tries to spin it, the fact remains, he accepted his mistress’s child in front of his wife, and turns out, the kid wasn’t even his. Haha.
Now that I think about it, you might be true. I actually thought his father was actually son of director Baek. That's why director Baek appointed suryeon as chairman. You know, because her being his son's bitch or something. But then I saw Jitae's mother is actually Baek 's daughter. So I am really curious what really happened. And it's so weird that jitae's father just accepted the fact he had son and all. Like all of sudden.
Anyway, I’m guessing chapter 58 will be a full-on sex scene between Jin and Jian. Personally, I’d prefer if Jian were fully recovered before they had sex, but since this is their first time and even though they’re technically a side couple, it really can’t be half-assed. I’m curious to see how their first time plays out. According to the author, it’s supposed to be pretty awkward but Jin apparently goes all the way to eating ass lol so I imagine it’s going to be intense as hell.
Then I guess it’ll move on to the plot with Ji-tae rescuing Mieum or whatever
Omg I agree 100% that Jian should be fully recovered before him and Jin have sex
That would be a logical development, but maybe the author feels they can’t slowburn them any longer… or maybe the author has something planned that we don’t know about.
