just got in the end before the side story. and i have a HUGE pet peeve about it. why WHY the author had to go and make dongchan grow up so much and jiwoo suddenly look so feminine??? no, i get he was sick and all but that was not a hormonal treatment, come on.
again, korean authors show this weird prejudice about gay relationships. that idea that you HAVE to look like a straight couple for it to work. that one has to look like a girl and the other has to be super tall.
and they did it to sunny TOO. seriously, it's a small thing that pisses me off so much. because it comes from rooted homophobia.
during the whole webtoon, it was really great. then why??

baby girl, im talking about the heteronamative character design that is present in 90% of korean bl. how they make one character look like a girl and make the other a giant. no one's mentioning sexual roles here. i binge read this whole webtoon in 2 days. im pretty sure the author made clear during the whole thing that they are a flex couple, it being something i really enjoyed because there was no dominant one (they both acted when they were feeling it). they behaved like normal people. and it was all good and then, by the end, the author went "oh let me take their nice body anatomy and their distinguished personalities and turn them into characters of every other bl porn that there is".

That’s literally not what happened lmaooo . The guy had a hormonal issue that made him smaller than average, did you really expect him to suddenly grow tall like other people? Even if he got the treatment he needed (hormones in this case), that wouldn’t magically make him tall. People with severe hormonal issues often end up significantly shorter and with other physical characteristics tied to their condition.
Plus, he always looked more feminine, his face didn’t change, his height didn’t change. On the other hand, the other guy grew tall and broad because he didn’t have any health issues. So, this whole "they ruined their body anatomy and personalities" argument doesn’t make sense because their personalities stayed the same. You're just mad that a man with a disability looks like his condition affects him, which is pretty weird, tbh.
And that « heteronormative » man argument doesn’t even apply here because the smaller, more feminine guy isn’t even the bottom! That directly contradicts the typical heteronormative BL dynamic you’re talking about. If anything, this webtoon is subverting those expectations, not reinforcing them.
Sounds like you’re just upset over realistic character design.
And if you’re wondering why the roles matter. It’s bcs typically, the top is the “masculine” one—tall, dominant, etc.—while the bottom is smaller and “feminine,” mimicking straight gender roles. But in this story, the smaller, more feminine guy is the top, which breaks that stereotype. So yeah, the roles are actually relevant here.

i hate character designs. i always enjoy manly bottoms more, but why giving him lots of muscles and shit if you gonna make him so weak

I fw this comment, but i think the reason he was so weak in these scenes is because hes afraid of the king's title and is holding back since he used to be his mentor or because hes afraid of the consequences.
I think he still believes if he holds back and doesn't attack the kind he might still has a chance.
Not to mention how mentally and physically exhausted he was in those scenes.
Tho i agree bro, like are these muscles for show?

that was nice. i won't read the comments because i KNOW it will be filled with illiterate kids.
the story may be annoying, but it's complex and realistic and in any moment we see it being romantized. it's raw and shows exactly how it is. this kind of situation exist.
i LOVED how the author was able to portray it so well. and the ending was great too.
story apart, i would rip the hell out of that dude. he looks easy to be robbed and manipulated for real.

it's always so funny to me. there's 5 chapters by now. dude was raped in chapter 2. people kept reading the whole thing and then complains in the comments about it. babies, if something is not for you and it disgust you and makes you angry, why you keep reading? just drop it like a normal person. instead you are consuming it because you actually like but then you HAVE to be show your hypocritical morals in the comment section for no reason.
it's always the same for those people. one story has rape but they avidly continue reading and then says how much they hate it.

the art, wow. it's so good. the story is great too. loved the age gap and LOVED how kinky they are. like, i bet all my money there will be people in the comments kink shaming them.
wish one day i can see something about this author that's like, the characters have some normal body proportions. i don't care about the story, i know it would be amazing anyways because the art is so pretty.
i just binged it. so good!!
also, i wish seo an could top woowon at some point. please, he literally said he likes to top better. i hope this author realize that in actual mlm relationship when can both bottom and top. i really thought this would be a great story about a couple that wouldn't stick to one sexual role, but i guess it was hoping too much from a korean webtoon?
Oml quit crying cs if he was alr the bottom, yall wouldn’t be crying this much for them to switch
quit crying? every damn manwha is the same shit. somehow they ALWAYS give mlm sexual roles and most of the times it comes together with a ridiculous heteronormative design. you have to bottom because you are shorter? who created this rule? it's so fucking ridiculous and tiring, but i guess you are just a straight girl who won't get pissed about it no matter what because your vision of mlm is the same of those straight webtoon authors.
Yeah, quit crying are you even talking abt the same manwha atp?? Lmao whatever this response is supposed to be had nothing to do w what I said. Im so confused on what the point ur tryna make is lol; like I said, if Seo was alr the top, yall wouldnt be crying dor them to switch
