N-Nakyum, don't pull up the " Yoonbum" card... PLEASE! I hope he listens to his noona, I want Nakyum OUT of that place.

Lol, I know that... What I meant is that there were many times when Yoonbum didn't want to leave Sangwoo's side because life outside his home was just as miserable and he mistook Sangwoo's new attitude or possible love as a justification for him to stay. I don't want Nakyum to go into that level of dependency, him saying that Seungho's confession prevents him from leaving really worries me.

he never excused sangwoo's acts or mistook it for kindness he was aware of everything and thought about escaping all the time but yes at some point he really gave up on his life and accepted living with sangwoo because of how harsh the life outside was, nakyum is also aware of everything and i think he just don't understand himself for now, he didn't mistook the abuse to anything nor he is showing stockholm syndrome's symptoms

Omg yes, he did. Do you remember those chapters when they became a "married" couple? It was crazy. Yoonbum was over the moon when Sangwoo changed his attitude to the point that Sangwoo himself said "You shouldn't trust me". He also justified himself in staying with him despite knowing that he was kidnapped. Nakyum knows that he is being abused and admits that Seungho is a monster, but his romantic feelings confuse him to the point that he is arguing with his noona about leaving, when the answer is quite clear. Nakyum knows that he is being tortured and yet he wonders if he should leave or not. I don't want to say it's Stockholm syndrome because I honestly don't know enough about it, but I can tell that he's attached to his abuser.

The difference is Bum never really had a choice, Bum never had a "Heena noona" to tell him that is not love and he should come back to a family that loves him. Seungbae is not the same thing, he's like a stranger for Bum, and Bum is afraid of policemen, since he is not innocent (plus, when he was arrested in the past, the agents still left him in the hands of his rapist uncle). Bum is truly a complex, conflicted character, he is also severely mentally ill (he has untreated BPD and god knows what else) and it's harder for him to escape an abusive relationship. I always found the scene at the police station heartbreaking " would you kiss someone like me?": Bum only found "love" and kindness with Sangwoo, Sangwoo is the only person who saved him from being raped again at the military. In comparison, Nakyum had a better life and he knows what a loving and caring family means, so it doesn't make much sense he is still attached to his abuser.

I don't see Stockholm syndrome for Bum, as you said he had already feelings for Sangwoo, it's very complicated and we should take into account his past trauma, mental illnesses and the situation he is in.
Nakyum's situation imo doesn't make sense: he doesn't defend his abuser but he blushes and accepts everything he does only because sometimes he was treated with kindness. We also all know it is going to end with them together.
I feel since the author is not as good as Koogi, she is trying to make something similar but without any good basis. Nakyum wasn't really trapped like Bum. Nakyum had choices, he could make a living with his paintings and he had someone to rely on (even if she told him to not come back, it doesn't seem it's really forbidden) , Bum had literally nothing!
Also I feel we are still overestimating the author, because while it may seem that she is condemning Nakyum's feelings as Stockholm syndrome, she actually pitting the feelings towards Inhun (whom we know he is a bad person) versus the feelings towards Seungho (that we know it's clearly the endgame). I can't see an ending Harada/Koogi' s style tbh

I also believe that. Nakyum at this point is just a victim who feels conflicted because plot value. I don't think he has any valid reason to take Seungho's feelings for him as a reason to feel confused. I don't think at all that Nakyum and Yoonbum have the same level of writting since Nakyum falls in comparasion, he just reminds me a little bit of him since at the end of the day, he is also kidnapped. I think Inhun is still being painted as a good guy since the noona doesn't know his true colors and Nakyum kinda remains with his obsession to see him as someone superior. Harada is in another level of screw up endings painted as a happily ever after, I'm not a super fan of how Koogi's ended KS but the climax and the characters themselves were beyond excelent. I have no clue how this is going to end but I just know is going to be a tragedy, let's see.

This season is kinda... I was expecting other things? Maybe Nakyum playing with the emotional power he has over Seungho, see more of his past, more depth but nope... He is just going to be a victimn who feels for Seungho because (?) I don't know, the story is taking a path that still is messed up but not as complex as I expected. Nobody is really that complicated, not even Seungho. I should stop comparing this to KS or I'm really going to be dissapointed lmao.

I know! KS is in another level, but I also expected more from this since it's an historical manhwa. There is a great BL manga called Yuuutsu na Asa that not only plays with the politics, hierarchies and social order of the time to tell its story, but also how the characters grow and develop based on that context by learning the rules of it. It has no resemblance to PotN, these stories are not even from the same era, but I expected it to play in the same way with all the historical environment to evolve its characters, in addition to the psychological one. It's waste with all the potential this has.

Imagine going on a date with Hwi and acting like this? The audacity. Like, it doesn't bother me that he did things with Mr. Han (although I clearly didn't like reading that) because at the end of the day, there was nothing formal with Hwi ... But, I'm disappointed in how dishonest Param is with him. Instead of having that kind of attitude throughout their entire date, he really should have talked about why he's feeling bad or just cancel their meeting if he couldn't face Hwi at the moment. Param did all this to himself.

Unpopular opinion: I did not like these two chapters. So silly and unfunny. Maybe it's because I don't like Dojin, but I feel like it's more because I don't think watching porn or being attracted to other people while in a relationship (doing nothing about it, of course) is a bad thing. Idk Could be just me, but everything Dojin did to test Hyesung was very weird and awkward.

The <incest> between Joowon and Haesoo can only be considered when they were between 17 -19 years old, with them being step-bros. Joowon and Haesoo's 'taboo' is not by consanguinity, but they were linked by an affinity and this aspect can dissapear not only in LoH's universe (never thought I would ever say that) lmao but also in real life.
Kinship by affinity is generated and sustained in marriage, so once the marriage bond has disappeared, any parental relationship between the spouses is broken, and if it is broken between the spouses, even more so with respect to the family of the spouses in relation to the other. Guess what happens with Joowon and Haesoo? Their parents divorce and, therefore, the affinity bond dissapeared. They are nothing, they could do whatever they wanted.
Joowon and Haesoo are only seen as brothers socially due to this past relationship but, the reality is they aren't related at all. Why is the reason for their parents wanting to get married again? To impose a taboo on them, who had no impediment from being together. Not because of love or even business, it was to control them. How they handle the feelings of their sons are one of the biggest reasons why Joowon and Haesoo became destructieve people. If they couldn't control them when they were adolescent, they were wrong for thinking of the possibility of doing it with them being adults. I'm happy that they leave them alone but I also hope that, at some point, they can forgive each other.
