I dont dislike the uke because he rejected Taiga. I dislike him Kei because of his attitude towards life. The reason why a lot of us felt that the ending was rushed or smth was missing is because they never really had Kei grow. Taiga was the only doing the growing and there's a lot of loose ends not tied.
1) Kei quit his passion and continues to run away from something he loves because he burnt out. And I get it - I'm a nurse with a Masters and didn't take a single break in between all the studying whilst also working. I know burn out. I've burnt out 3 times very severely. And I'm fully aware that giving up and doing other things is perfectly OK however, the manga made it a point to highlight the difference between Kei and Taiga. Taiga throws his entire self into what he does - he has a reckless and dangerous way of pursuing his passion; meanwhile Kei gives up quickly and runs. The author started Kei off as a flawed person (same as Taiga btw) but they half-assed him so he comes across as shallow and undeserving. That's also why many people dislike him even more when he rejected Taiga. His character was already hard to like.
2) i don't know if we all read the same thing but his reasoning for rejecting seme didn't make sense? I understand that he has trust issues (once again smth I relate hard to. I've been told I'm like a porcupine), but Taiga straight up confessed to him and laid out his feelings bare. He showed him what his exes never did in the past - a long, undying unrequited love that he's continued in the same way he holds his passion for acting AND Kei also acknowledges it. And Kei makes it a point to express that that is what he wants so why did he...reject? He could've asked Taiga to wait for him cause he's not ready etc. but instead he calls Taiga a liar; the author made it seem like Taiga half-assed the confession hence why Kei was insecure.
But then he flips on that on that ship ride to the island. That's another instance where ai think the story was just rushed in the end.
Overall, Kei's decision-making doesn't make sense. Taiga is a 3D character but Kei is very 2D. They didn't explore enough with him, let him grow, nor did they connect the plot point they laid out properly. It just...was a disappointing read overall. Especially cuz I loved the art and enjoyed the first few chapters. I liked Kei at first then he just didn't grow whilst persisting in this negative Nancy mindset until the very last chapter where, the immature Kei makes a decision unlike himself and makes it seem like he grew but in reality he didn't.
Also the ending was like ?? Taiga tied up his loose ends and wants to go overseas - does them getting together mean he's halted that plan? Once again, that would've required a few more chapters to come to a conclusion about.

You summarized everything best! Well saod.
*said
Yess i agree with this 100%, glad to see someone shared the same sentiment. The way uke handled seme’s feelings really upset me even as a someone who also has massive trust issues…..
Well said I agree co pletely, I think he is still gonna go overseas and they gonn keep dating, I guess the author can use kei trusting him while he is on abroad to show that kei can strust him?? İdk
I love the manager and handsome-kun BUT their dynamic deserves its own separate manga. It contrasts hugely to the vibe that this manga and the main couple give in general. Their relationship is more on the mature/passionate side. I'd classify it more as yaoi than shonen ai.
Author adding the 2nd couple now when the 1st couple aren't even a proper couple yet is...just going to draw the attention completely away.
Ngl, I really hope they didn't twinkify him in the side stories to make them "match" more. They're alphas and both males. I loved that Damon was actually sometimes beefier than Colton. Here's to praying and hoping
Frfr
They match each other's freak huh? A very Caesar and Leewon esque relationship heheh
Better than Caesar salad and leewon I hate that stupid Russian mafia man with all my heart
And he ugly
Nooooooo Caesar is precious in is own way and fucked up! Leewon is also fucked up. They shot each other, stabbed each other and then fucked while bleeding out LMAO
They make casual threats to kill each other that are NOT jokes but will also die if the other person is no longer around. If poor Caesar didn't have shitty Sasha as his father and grew up normally, he'd be an emerald green forest. Now he's just...khaki I guess
Caesar is ugly?? Man is majestic bruh.what are you on?
Now i know your words cannot be trusted cause why you lyin
u guys have bad taste cuz bro is hideous even that horse Jaekyung looks better
Whyd you comment just to specifically hate on Caesar thats so weird
BECAUSE I HATE THAT GUY I’m a Caesar salad hater I don’t understand why people like him!!! also, weird?? I’m just commenting my opinion bc I feel sm rage when I think of him I liked him until he shot leewon
They shot eachother... chill
They shot each other though. And stabbed each other too. It's mutual crazy both ways. That's why it works. Plus, he's so compromising now and patient. He's basically a saint now.
Can someone save seo yeon? Please? She doesn't deserve to be pulled along for this dumb ride.
Right like y’all wanna keep these jobs so badly but if you’re fucking around with the people that you work with? Make it make sense.
Feels like cheating ngl.
because it is regardless of what their arrangement was, Diston was aware that he was the only one Zen asked for help.
I know everyone is saying he's trying to protect MC but uhh those reactions are in private, where MC isn't even present. He is absolutely pissed off and disgusted by the MC. Doesn't seem like pretense. This why I say love ain't real
Is it just me or has she become a total dumbass??
this comment is frying me but absolutely my god, it's like she can't get a sentence out
No you right because what happened to trying to get out of the castle. Also why did they name this manwha this if they were going to get rid of him so quickly…
Meanwhile the whole time, I'm pretty sure he's a virgin hahahaha
the funniest part is that they both are pfft
