The fact that the top doesnt show any symapthy for red head guy just turns me off. Enemies to lovers and toxic yaoi is cool..but its better when both characters are flashed out. The dynamic here fluctuates from mutual hate (which is cool) to a victim-abuser relationship, unhealthy power play and dubcon bordering noncon... and there is no development getting done to it
I do understand the father and why he left but trying to separate the child from the one who raised him with no notice beforehand is plain ignorant. He should be extending his "kindness" to the brother too, if he were such a good and changed person. Or at least allow them to visit each other. Instead he just waltzed in their life and expected the child to accept him... the relationship could've been saved if not for how selfish he was
Reading the first season in 7th grade versus reading the last episode 4 months before i graduate high school....this is just a different kind of nostalgia pain
I feel you. I read this when I was in 9th grade. Five years later, I'm now at my second year of vet school （/TДT)/ I can totally see myself rereading this a bunch of times in the future.
We really grew up with this didnt we(▰˘◡˘▰)
I come here every 2 years since 2017 and this manhwa never dissappoints. If it werent about graphic sex and bdsm i'd be recommending this to everyone╮(￣▽￣)╭the plot is that good
Right??? Tho, ngl, the graphic sex and bdsm is awesome for me cuz there isn't a lot of *good* manga/manhwas with it--but the plot and characters and setting just dial it up to amazing levels (≧∀≦)
I'm just waiting for the author's commentary, if there'e gonna be one. Like what were they thinking lmaoo i need to know
The author disables the comment after they posted the last chapter. Must've been overwhelming i guess.
The ending was so bad but not because they didn't end up together. We went through 30 chapters of some of the best character development written in bl just for them to go back tp square 1? The ending could've been so satisfying. Hopeful even. Maybe show a little bit abt redhairs past. More about siwoos commitment issues. They were great together and opposite what siwoo says THEY WERE IN SYNC. It's such a shame. This would've been a great stand alone story, where you didn't have the baggage that the characters carry from the og storyline. Its really such a shame.
Not to mention I've been reading this every tuesday since SUMMER. This manhwa got me through so much these past 3 months. I will really miss it. I wish to know why the author didn't give it the ending it deserves because they obviously know how to write well. Shame
But where was the character development? DH just shifted the object of his obsession and delusion of ownership from Suha on to Siwoo. He never once showed any remorse or even acknowledgement of the horrible things he's done even after being victimized himself. He pulled the same kind of dirty tricks to get Siwoo that he did on Suha. Violence, threats, money, power abuse, nothing changed. He was the same start to finish. The only difference is now he's dealing with an adult and not a child, like Suha was when he first started abusing him.
i think what made the difference was the fact that he fell in love for the first time. And more than that he was able to become vulnerable. That didn't change when he started bottoming, it changed over time when he accepted what he truly wanted. So we get this idea of him being an emotionally immature person who was very starved of affection, we also see over time that he has morals and he is able to change, unlike his grey hair friend who was very devoid of ethics. He learned ways to show affection, how to let himself feel it back, learned how it feels to want someone and of course he was put through a bunch of shitty situations that kinda gave him a reality check. These all make up his character development. Now, I do agree with you that a Lot of stuff wasn't adressed, but with the way Doohyuk was shaped it would've made it possible to adress it properly. They didn't even adress his own rape and that happened recently... He had a lot of space for growth, which is why the ending is so frustrating.
Does anyone have the author's twitter username? I heard they said they're ending the side story next week..
