Okay Yuriel x Rosie is my favorite ship but ehhh I don’t really like how this is turning out… Yuriel kissing Rosie while she’s grieving about her unrequited love for Kael is a no-go, it’s why I don’t particularly like Kael or the Duke since they just kiss and touch Nathan without consent. I mean, if Yuriel was a man, I’m sure you guys would find it kind of gross for a dude to just kiss a girl crying over another guy…
Eunyoung saying he sees Haejoon’s Mom in him… From the start when Haejoon chose to stay in the dorm so Eunyoung wouldn’t be left alone with ghosts despite how Eunyoung hurt and mocked him, Eunyoung knew he was a good person.
My own feeling behind Eunyoung asking Haejoon if he has siblings is that he sees Haejoon as his family. I think he might be kind of happy that Haejoon doesn’t have siblings since it means that he will always be one of the closest to Haejoon.
I knew they wouldn't end up together but this ending is way too open, like author made Siwoo into a rapist for no real development??? (He is a rapist by the way considering Dohyeok was passed out when Siwoo was putting in all those sex toys) Like Dohyeok changing??? Apologizing to Suha??? Dude got gangraped and that's never addressed?????? No therapy???????????? He just gonna wrap a scarf and get over it???? Like damn this story opens up a lot of dark themes and doesn't address them well
I completely agree with you ...now my last hope is that we may get something in side story of main couple..i hope theses things get addressed and resolved
Yeah honestly I don't think people are pissed off mainly that Siwoo and Dohyeok didn't get together, because we've had BL where the main couple broke up at the end and the backlash wasn't as big. This one was mid because it opened up a lot of things - Dohyeok being gangraped and his trauma as someone who himself did so (pressured Suha), Siwoo having some feelings for the guy who abused his closest friend, the gangrape itself - and closed none of them well.
The only thing it barely closed was that Siwoo rejected Dohyeok, which in itself is fine, but Siwoo can't suddenly take the moral high ground at the end of it all when he raped Dohyeok as well.
Agree the side stories were so unnecessary with all this
I agree ...i was kind of 50-50 whether they will get happy ending or not becoz of lots of ups and down
“What’s not to like about me” A lot. Dohyeok, you’re my babygirl, but there’s a shit ton of things to not like about you boy tf you mean
haha i can't believe he had the audacity to say that
I really like the development of their friendship. Haejoon was kind to Eunyoung at the start (stayed in the dorms with him when he had the chance to transfer, despite the shit Eunyoung pulled on him) — he did this only out of the goodness of his own heart, not at all because he cared about Eunyoung as Eunyoung. If it was any other person, Haejoon would have done the same.
Eunyoung saw that and began to grow attached to Haejoon. Eunyoung cared for Haejoon because it was Haejoon. But Haejoon continued caring for Eunyoung because Haejoon was by nature a good person. Their ways of loving and caring for one another was like this, unbalanced for most of the story **until recently**.
Eunyoung from the early days did things for Haejoon because it was Haejoon and he liked Haejoon. Sure, making food for him was to repay Haejoon for not leaving him alone in the old haunted dorms. But he beat up the bullies, tried to get along with Haejoon, stayed up to make sure Haejoon wouldn’t run out of the house when Haejoon was hallucinating his mother, and tagged along with him even though he had his own friends — in the Stealing arc, Haejoon even brings this up that he doesn’t really like Eunyoung hanging out with him and Juwan, and doesn’t get why Eunyoung hangs out with them.
In the arc where Haejoon goes to his Uncle’s house, Eunyoung mentions in the car that he’s not really interested in going to Juwan’s house on his own without Haejoon. In the arc where Juwan wants to be close to Haejoon but Haejoon seems to avoid him (and it’s revealed he’s awkward and feels bad to Juwan’s mother showing him love), Juwan told Haejoon that Eunyoung won’t hang out with them unless Haejoon is there, which turns out true (which is funny because Eunyoung is awkward with Haejoon after their Chuseok fight).
For most of it, Haejoon cared for Eunyoung because he was just a kind person at heart. But since the Chuseok arc I think Haejoon began to also grow attached to Eunyoung, and he now cares for Eunyoung specifically because it’s Eunyoung. These newest chapters especially show it. He minds his words, doesn’t use violence, and thinks about Eunyoung’s home situation.
A+ relationship. I don’t consider it purely as a friendship, not for romantic reasons (I’m open to this though), but that their relationship is very complex to cover under friendship. Especially on Eunyoung’s side, he’s notably attached to Haejoon more than to any of his friends.
TL;DR Their relationship has been mostly unbalanced till recently. Eunyoung cares for Haejoon because it’s Haejoon and he likes Haejoon. Haejoon cares for Eunyoung largely because Haejoon is a good person at heart, not because he likes Eunyoung (understandably).
But since their Chuseok fight I think Haejoon has grown to be attached to Eunyoung. Now he cares for Eunyoung just because Haejoon is nice, but because it’s Eunyoung.
Ngl, this makes me tear up a bit :"))...
Thats how you know hes a real one
I like the prequel. It's good and gives more context to the story and is good story writing, and I felt the first season actually lacked info so readers ended up confused.
It's sad some people are just poor readers, they lack patience, don't care about plot quality and just want to see boys fucking. Hopefully as those readers go away (cross fingers they don't annoyingly stay and complain on every chapter), there'll be more quality discussions about the plot.
People who complain about the plot being long are probably usually used to the smut only or just like short stories. I personally am delighted with such a complete story like this one. This manwha has everything: interesting elements, an appealing theme, feelings, sex, drama, tragedy, a bit of comedy, historical setting, contemporary setting, beautiful art, four main characters, character development, and it’s going for a fourth season. I can’t ask for more especially when I grew attached to it. I wish it wouldn’t end.
FIRST OFF, Hyeonjin giving off lowkey yandere vibes with how he's being very clingy but it's not out of character for him to be obsessing over Jaewoo. After all, Jaewoo is his first actual source of comfort and someone he can rely on/someone who takes care of him, so not out of the blue that he's obsessive.
SECONDLY..... ARE YOU GUYS NUTS? How's Hyeonjin the same level of toxicity as Mujin? Mujin nearly killed Jaewoo by strangling him! Look he's fun to read and only because he's fictional that I'm happy to read his and Jaewoo's relationship but guys, don't delude yourselves. Mujin is trash and would kill Jaewoo someday if he ain't careful. But okay he's handsome trash who I still wanna see for many chapters lol.
exactly
Honestly think this manhwa is getting draggy and it doesn't handle the dark themes very well, for example the bullying Yeonwoo went through, feels like a 0 to 100 and thrown in without much thought to justify Yeonwoo's timidity. I'd have liked if there were more hints from it at the start, so we can put two and two together, because now it feels like the author's just writing some generic equation formula of "look at this shy boy! shy shy shy! and....... now tada!!! he got bullied really horribly that's why he's like this guys, okayyyy moving on"
There were so many hints tho, they kept foreshadowing about something happening in their previous school and Yeonwoo having nighmares too, even the manhwa title drawing getting burnt more and more kept us anticipating something terrible. It might feel cliche but that's how some victims of bullying and SA irl are, his self esteem issues, stuttering, not knowing how to act around others felt natural to me.
If you look at him in the first chapters his stuttering was so frequent and he was way more 'shy' than now and because of how he himself was trying hard to gain confidence and promising Haesol to be better made me not think of him as typical shy FL in romance mangas.
There were a LOT of hints?
......the title????????
Ok don’t get too offended guys
i disagree but respect to your opinion, it’s the fact that it should have been brought up much early on instead of seeded so subtly. Trauma doesn’t work that way. Read Gangnam ID as an example - it’s how you can keep it a light manga without going from 0 to 100, because right from the start they address the heavy themes properly but in a “it’s there, but I’m living my life still” instead of seeding it in SOOOOO slowly and then throwing it all out at once. Protag is also a very shy person with heavy trauma, and you can tell right away because she rates people’s faces and all the other things.
fym “I disagree” your og comment is you claiming that you felt they just threw in the trauma to explain Yeonwoo’s timidity, and the reply literally lists a few examples in which it was clearly hinted. You may have a problem with how slowly it was brought up, but that’s a completely different complaint than saying there weren’t many hints at all, which is just plain wrong.
And to say “trauma doesn’t work that way” is just,,, weird ??? Trauma works differently for everyone and it’s not going to be portrayed the same way in every story.
The reason why it was introduced so late is because the entire story Yeonwoo’s trying to change himself and move on from his past, (which is why we only see hints to it)until he can’t ignore it, LITERALLY, because his past PHYSICALLY caught up to him in the form of meeting the bully again, making him relive that trauma. You’re tripping if you think the placement is off, I think it was done pretty well.
Completely agreed. Also the author didn't bring in the trauma to say this is why Yeonwoo is shy. Yeonwoo has always been a shy person as you can see from their childhood and it's BECAUSE he is shy that the bullies thought that it was easier to bully him. This wasn't a "gotcha" moment. And it was definitely hinted waaay earlier. Especially with the way how Yeonwoo and Junhyuk interacted with each other and other people.
Ok?? Ever heard of opinions? Jesus christ sweetheart get your panties out of a twist, I could call your opinion shift given you love reading about certain comics that are dogshit but I don’t do I? Go back to your Momma and go learn how to deal with opinions on the internet
Girlie sees another opinion and then starts crying and whining that no one’s allowed to disagree with her booboo
why yall bringing your beef to topics…. and sibling bffr you gatekeeping opinions on an illegal manga site both of you go touch some grass
oop replied to the wrong person. ngga this is an illegal manga site bffr…. gatekeeping opinions like you some UN ambassador
My bad I just saw shitass’s reply today
nah you good. don’t beef with shitass they called shitass for a reason
If u actually read my comment I said it’s ok to have an opinion on the author’s pacing choices , I clearly stated I only had a problem with u saying there were barely any hints when there clearly was.
And I don’t think I said anything crazy? The whole point of comment sections is to share opinions, discuss the story, and be able to reply to others if u think they misinterpreted something, which is what I did. I didn’t call ur opinion shit Lmfao I don’t know why you’re acting like I told u to kys
Having discussions isn’t beef bro I lit made one reply disagreeing with their disagreement and y’all acting like Ive been actively harassing op over a comment a forgot I even replied to bruh
“fym “I disagree””
right sweetie
