People who've never read LIAI or don't remember the plot, good for you. You can just accept this chapter as it is and focus on them being happy again and the romance.
But for some us, this is a harder to stomach. And the more I sit on it the angrier I get for Hyesung. The last few chapters feels like it's spitting at Hyesung's face.
It's so convenient that the author conveniently forgot/glossed over Hyesung's traumatic childhood and portraying the useless mother as a sweet but lonely grandmother.
Unfortunately, when writing a series, it's hard to change the narrative. And when an author chooses to do so in the dumbest way possible, the long time readers have a right to be pissed.
You can be happy for the story, but you can't blame us for being mad for the bs that's being written.
LIAI has forgiven Dojin for so many fucking shit that he's done. But not this time. You cannot claim to love someone and disrespect them and invalidate their feelings and their choices at the same time.
Dojin choosing to keep in contact with Hyesung's mom against his back? That's not sweet. That's a betrayal. A spit to Hyesung's face. That is an act showing that you have no regard for Hyesung's pain, the trauma he went through, and his choice of letting go of that pain and trauma. Hyesung was brave enough to ask his mom why he was abandoned and accept his mom's stupid answer. Do you know how much courage it takes to let go of a mother who you loved for the longest time even though they abandoned you and finally accepting that it's enough, and choosing to be happy, move on, and create a family- the kind of family he never had.
And then for that fucking family to betray you for fucking years??? And forming a bond, a relationship with the mother who abandoned you???
If Hyesung's mother had any kind of love left for him, he would have respected his choice and left. Never show up or form bonds with Hyesung's family. That is how she can atone for her sins. If Hyeusng decides to forgive her or look for her, that's his choice. But this??? This forced connection because the husband and son likes the grandma??? This is a fuck you to Hyesung's face.
Right??? Like if you were gonna make it like this, then why did you make the Hyesung's mom so unlikeable in the first place???
At least make it easier to understand and accept her reason for abandoning and never reaching out to Hyesung.
And if this was part of the plot, at least make it Hyesung who actually reaches out to his mok, bot whatever shit this is.
I wonder why the editor even went with this... Did no one in the editing team take a moment to think if this was a good idea???
Exactly and in the end no matter her reasoning Hyesung suffered so much because of it but it’s being stepped over like she had a reason and that’s makes it all okay. I agree it should’ve come from Hyesung and no one else but him because they don’t know why there’s no contact, there’s always a reason for that and if they wanted to so bad they should’ve told Hyesung not go behind his back.
Byul, I can understand because he wasn't there. He didn't know what his mom went through. But fucking Dojin???
WTF DO YOU MEAN "SHE LOOKS LIKE YOU" as if that's a justifiable reason for keeping in contact with his mother who fucking abandoned him???
I'm so soryy but were we not there when Hyesung asked his mom why she didn't look for her, and this womam, with her whole chest, confidently said "You didn't look for me as wel" as if that mde them fucking even???
You left your child with your abusive husband. Instead of running away with him, you chose to abndon him and just save yourself. Does Hyesung have to apologize for not looking for you when he was grown up when he was fucjing busy trying to survive all on his own, being traumatized by his parents thinking no one loved him and he was abandoned???
And now that he's married rich, when it's so fucking convenient, you show up???
Hyesung heard all he needed from his good for nothing mother and decided to cut off ties with her because that ws what was healthy for him.
And this mfing husband, who supposedly loves his wife chose not to respect his decision??? And instead chose to get close to the person who abandoned the man he supposedly loves.
This is bullshit. Fucking bullshit.
Was never a fan of the girl since she was reintroduced when she was studying for the HS entrance exam. Idk, something about chasing a guy to a his high school just made me cringe. Not averse to romance, she's just not my cup of character when it comes to love interests.
However, more than my dislike for the FL, the way they did this whole romance thing has me more disappointed. I never felt there was much build up into the relationship. Yeah, she showed up sometimes. And she helped when mc's mom was in the hospital, but it always felt like she was given more importance and influnece than she reallg had. Like in no point did it feel like she was that important or had that much of an impact to mc not until the past few chapters. And that felt off. Like at least sell me a good romance so I have no choice but to admit that they are for each other. Idk... It just wasn't done tastefully imo. But, everyone is free to think what they want about this. If you ship them, good for you. I'm just pointing out the reason for my disappointment and lack of enthusiasm for this ship or this romance subplot.
i think this story more focus on how his progress with his career. that's why the romance not too deep and just give a deep hint who he gonna be with. Lets throwback that mc never in his entire life has a woman even a second chance. The struggle he feel until now was closed for woman but this second life he was closer with fl, no more closer. Not even a female actrees he close with unless with fl. He more known what is gonna happened if there a scandal because he also an actor from the first life that why he close relationship with someone else even palatonic but its exception for fl. she there with him if we see more out of scene they also share a contact number.
It's crazy how the serial killer isn't even the most disturbing thing in this manhwa. The age gap isn't it as well.
Whats the most disturbing to me are tge fucking aduts (parents and teachers) not doing shit. The teachers not doing anything because it would be troublesome,the parents who don't gjve a fuck as long as no one dies... What's crazier, I don't even think they're worried about their son dying but more so someone else dying because if their son.
I hope the killer just kils everyone in that school atp









Honestly I want this to just get done. They clearly are perfect for each other. If she's this dumb to still be swayed by someone whk doesnt6even have the decency to explain shit after a fucking decade... Then by all means be happy or miserable together.
And then we can move on and give Dohwa the story he deserves with someone who will love him... And then I won't feel so shitty.
would a 100% drop this if we got Dohwa’s side stories with a new girl
