The crown Prince said give up his glory, all you did was continue to hide Iora away which is what her sister was ALREADY doing. You gave her food (in which her sister had been doing) and a place where she could finally brush her damn hair.
Nothing he did could compare to her sister since he had wayyy more resources and status to be able to even give her hideaways, WITH Wellmy’s guidance. Her sister had nothing but her wits to protect iora since being a child.
I love how everyone is saying they hate the ML, like YES! That’s the point! He’s written to be a selfish deplorable character, which is why all the other characters around him hate him even after his rebirth. If he was meant to be romanticized then the princess, the crown Prince, and in current life, his secretary wouldn’t constantly be bringing up how terrible he treats MC. He’s not to be seen as a good person, this is a psychological story. He’s exactly how you’d look at Sangwoo. He’s a bad character.
Nah this is not "psychological" it is simply a one dimensional trash character, whether or not the writer intended for the audience to hate him. Let's have some standards. Too often "pscyhological" is misused to give a sheen of substance to this kind of frankly tacky, tropey writing. This is not even a shallow pool it is a puddle after light rain.
Everything aside, I think I’m a little annoyed by the whole “tsundere” personality. Like dude is letting you live rent free in a building that you’d never be able to step foot in usually, feeds you, gives you access to unlimited money, allows you to see your mom and makes sure she’s not being touched by putting her in the kitchen even when she’s in debt, and is only asking you to attend school but that’s too much? Like you have NOTHING to your name, had no phone, no home, or anything but constantly acts out yelling, calls him names, treats him like shit while simultaneously taking everything given.
Not saying you shouldn’t be suspicious because this guy is a stranger but if it was me, I’d do what was asked while drawing a line to persevere my safety. His personality is so annoying and they just brush it off because of his looks.
At first I was so angry at him getting right back into gambling, but honestly he deserves an escape atp that’s not exactly physically damaging. He legit is getting brutalized everyday by the two craziest people in Korea, to a point I have never seen him without bandages and it’s been months since he’s been there. He’s in a room with a sociopath and psychopath every second of his life, never knowing whether or not if they’ll be in a good mood. One legit has gore fantasies about him and the other things of him as a hole that he makes do things. in no way am I saying the Uke is innocent but he’s nowhere near as bad.
Side note, why would you tell newcomers that you keep a lot of stamps/money in your room? I feel they gonna try to rob him since they don’t understand the rules of the prison and end up dead because it’s so much foreshadowing. They mentioned a lot that newcomers will probably try to stir up stuff so to keep their heads down, which the uke did not. Also really driving into how crazy the semes actually are and their crimes in and out of prison. Especially with the craziest one being in “love” with him, I can see this turning out bad.
Staying for the seme because he seems to be a yellow flag. The translation probably is ruining the story for me because did he borrow money from his ex or is his ex forcing money from him? Because 2 million won is roughly 1,500 usd. If he’s working 3 jobs, that would be paid in 2-4 months.
Also, if you’re so afraid of being seen why would you post your face in the cosplay picture? And if the stream already knows you’re the one from the contest then what’s the issue with the ex blackmailing? It’s literally 40,000 viewers. Some are bound to be nearby.
The seme is yellow and not green because, Why did he say 1m to the contest winner just to tell them that they’d have to participate in the stream to receive the money?
1. Probably hard to earn that much from part time jobs, costs of living/ university and so it’s already much to pay
2. Exactly like they even say it’s THE PERSON WHO WON so lol everyone have already seen his face
3. Maybe it wasn’t about the money but the prize
Anyway I’ll leave it to marinate and see u in 1 year or so XD
I’m sorry but this story is 95% flashbacks, like we get it. Please continue with the present, I’m tired of the present getting good then boom childhood trauma.
Honestly, when it’s so many flashbacks I start to lose track of what the current plot is. It’s like they’re throwing in so many subplots and then they’re just like “..yeah that’s it, we will not delve deeper. Take this “lesbian” kiss.” So it feels nonsensical and not well thought out. I understand they’re trying to make it angsty but it’s not coming out the way intended.
How was he an high ranking military officer and he’s so dumb? Like how did he not die in war?
