I cannot describe how much I love YD wrote this chapter! Now this was truly a love making scene. The previous smut scenes in this webtoon were good too but this scene capture something else. I felt like the author did an amazing job at showcasing how these two are comfortable with each other. Taking their time talking, having a little bit of a banter, lol while still keeping the atmosphere heated with the foreplay...it felt so real even though these are fictional character. I remeber in one of YD’s interview she talked bout wanting this to be relatable and maybe this is tmi but if you’ve ever experience this kind of intimacy in the bedroom before then you totally know how well YD wrote this! I am just so blown away how well written love or hate is.
This is kind of a cringey quote I read somewhere but I felt like it really fits Love or Hate. “When you like a flower you pluck it. But when you love a flower you water it daily”. Taku’s feelings were never that strong or deep. Sure in the end he like Haesoo more than he expected but he still revealed that he wished Haesoo feels terrible for not choosing him. Whereas Joowon continues to show that he is no thoughts, head full of Haesoo. Throwing away career for Haesoo? Got it. Gave Haesoo space after their “breakup” because Haesoo asked? Big sad but yes. Throwing away relationship with father for Haesoo? Sure. Understood that he can’t make Haesoo choose between him and his mom? Yep. Let Haesoo pursue his dream abroad? Respected that too. Joowon just shows again and again how much he deeply care bout Haesoo’s well being regardless of Haesoo returning his feelings or not and man that’s love right there. Some of you gotta take off your rose color glasses and examine this story for real for a second. Would you actually pick a guy like Taku in real life? Are those really the kind of qualities you would be ok with in your partner? I wouldnt and that’s why Joowon is a much better partner for Haesoo. Because yikes he shows all kinds of red flags throughout this story. I genuinely hope you guys don’t end up dating guys like him in reality.
I’m surprise how all of the comments are some form of “Ha Leo!” and nothing about the importance of the flashback or how Haesoo act after the close door. Haesoo been so lifeless, losing weight, going along with whatever everyone else want and acting like an empty shell this whole time and even in front of Joowon he was putting up a front but guess what happen the moment the elevator close? His heart was beating like crazy and his legs were shaking. I knew it was intentional way YD didn’t draw Haesoo’s face at all during the phone call and then it ended with an out of place smile toward the end. But anyway the highlight of this chapter was the way Joowon support Haesoo and telling Haesoo to follow his dream, passion, and choose what makes him happy. So far in this manga, Joowon is the only person in Haesoo life that unconditionally love him, support him, and is willing to sacrifice for Haesoo without expecting anything in return.
Idem! TT Joowon truly loves Haesoo and as you said, he's willing to sacrifice anything for him without expecting anything in return, it makes me so sad TT Joowon is the only character in this manhwa that has had a great character development. I honestly don't want him to end up with Haesoo, but since Haesoo means the world to him, and all I want is his happiness.. Well, let him be happy, pls t.t
Finally someone sees and appreciated Joowon efforts. In any other manhwa the seme would go after the uke in a uncomfortable way and even push him onto the uke but when the seme actually respects the uke request everyone just hates him.
I love Joowon and I think he is the only one putting Hae has his biggest priority when others are putting themselves. Meanwhile Joowon is nobody priority at the moment and that's making me so sad. He deserves to be happy and yet his happiness is the thing that is hurting him the most :(
I LOLed when the uke’s thought bubble said “I have questions”. Me too. I skipped a couple of chapters and now I’m speechless. Like….what do you mean you both have tentacles now?!
I think the uke gave the seme some of his blood (uke made the seme drink his blood to survive) then the ukes ability got passed on to the seme
Also he got sliced by the tentacle alien in the leg before that, I'm sure that had something to do with it too
