People keep saying that yuta and seunghyung are EQUALLY bad. Which I have to disagree, I agree that they both are terrible people but here there is a case for whose worse and though yuta is bad he has justifiable amount of reason to act the way he does . it's important to understand their characters. Seunghyung isn't a good guy at all. Sure yuta assaulted him but at most he had to suck a tiny penis, whereas yuta's frustrations are understandable
He was prostituted against his will, and exploited by the golden pavilion (kinkaku) which acc to the story was handled by seunghyung so in a way he had a part in yuta's suffering. This means yuta was essentially raped on multiple instances, even seunghyung agrees that it was basically nearly impossible for them to leave that place on their own and had to suck up to someone to get out
In the story it's hinted that seunghyung was supposed to get yuta out of that place and maybe his slightly lesser shitty personality made yuta feel a little bit in love (I mean if someone shows you kindness when you're in a shithole you'd naturally fall in love) but still he forgot about him and did not get him out of that place. For yuta that meant to live in that place and getting assaulted continuously for 10 years more. His trauma from that place is so bad he needs medication. He cannot even engage in sex in a normal way and starts to remember his days when he was exploited
Now that we've established that seunghyung isn't an amazing nice precious little baby, from his perspective he also has had his challenges in life and being the handler of the kinkaku wasn't something he wanted for himself and it's not that he directly wants hurt yuta and he probably has a reason to justify why he didn't save yuta. But again he does mock yuta about his background and considers him lower in status than himself. He might have wanted to help but his actions probably seemed as if he was looking down on yuta
Anyway they are both fucked up and are going to be toxic to each other. But I just wanted to vouch for yuta a bit since no one really talk about his character. I think he has potential as a really well written character for bl standards. People villianize him but I just wanted to let y'all know that he has huge reasons to act the way he does
... this was so well worded, I agree heavy on the Seunghyung part. Absolutely hate how some people portrayed him as this babydoll-angel-saint whoâs never done wrong in his life from the beginning, whereas in reality heâs a mobster and aids and abets literal sex trafficking, his âsoft personaâ and respect was only reserved for someone he viewed as equal to himself and romantically pursued. Also ironically his love for Jaeil stems partly from the fact that Jaeil saved him, but he doesnât seem to understand why Yuta might hate him for shunning him of the same kindness. Not justifying what Yuta did, but they need to stop with the nonsense about Seunghyung.
Lol, drugging someone and raping them by assault is now better than what Seunghyun did to him? Eww? What kind of fucked up mindset is that? They're both bad and fucked up character. What he did is no different from what the same did to him. You're being lenient to him just becos he's the uke?
RAPE IS RAPE, THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE JUSTIFYING SOMETHING SO HORRIBLE JUST BECOS OF HIS PAST!
I kinda agree because I felt disgusted with how Seunghyun thought of Yuta as, just a whore. BUTTTTT Iâm giving benefit of doubt that he just said it out of anger.
Real. Going into the story. I knew there was gonna be rape no matter what. But what really took me off guard was how SH was looking down on yuta maybe he did it out of spite. And maybe I'm interpreting it wrong " you look like the yuta you used to be" or whatever it is he said but it's like him saying to yuta that he look like the hopeless obedient whore/prostitute back in the golden pavilion. They're both toxic but some people needs to stop painting him as the good guy. he ain't a saint. What he did to yuta is as disgusting if not more disgusting than what yuta did to him.
don't think the op is justifying yuta for what he did. indeed they'reboth fucked up. I mean come on yuta is literally the one who put everything to action. he had it coming. but ts should have stopped after what seunghyun did in the car.
its mostly about how people have until now kept seunghyun's character up on a pedestal , and for what??? helping dooshik in the main story. which btw was always clear he wouldn't have given two cents about had his boss never instructed him to help out. and ofc there's no justification to either of their actions but sadly that's what these authors always do by drawing up the seme's past in their stories(and surprisingly it works every damn time with some of the readers out there). this time it just happens to be the uke.
its sad Indeed but that's just how twisted the bl manhwa industry is.
People canât accept that Seung isnât who they wanted him to be.
I'm not justifying yuta's actions, what he did WAS terrible and they are both extremely terrible but yuta's actions are a response of years worth of enduring SA. It's not justifiable but saying that they are the same is like saying yuta with 1 crimes against seunghyung due to his trauma (which seunghyung had a part in) and revenge is just as bad as a seunghyung who is in a mafia, involved in human trafficking, murder charges and now raping yuta, He also had a history of participating in yuta's trauma you cannot think they are equally as terrible.
Also idgaf about yuta being the uke lol he could be the seme or what not and my opinion would still be the same
Plsss I hope they give a side story for yoobin and soyi
I need that yuri cocaine
This shit is so peak, like it's such a good dj, the author wrote the characters so much in-character, the author definately understood the characters in the show so perfectly and it brings out the best elements of the misawa as a ship and highlights it so well, like it's so good I'm not even joking
This shit is so peak
