I'm happy that this is one of maybe two omegaverse storylines that I actually like the couple and storyline a lot. I'm usually not into omegaverse, but I find Theo and Seth adorable together. Plus I always love a beautiful brown skin representation of characters which this story has a abundance of! (⌒▽⌒)
So I just binged read these chapters so I have a fresh mind on what I feel like the plot is doing.
It's interesting that so many people are fighting back and forth for the main couple endgame when the story is literally written in the stars. If you've been reading this for a long time now and haven't refresh yourself I suggest you reread chapter 15. I know Doyak said they didn't put anything spoiler wise out there, but every story has it hints. It wouldn't be story without one. Jo literally describes Orion a hunter (Jo was raised by a Hunter father) falls for Artemis (Ian) who has a twin Apollo(Tae Joon) (hint hint that Ian and TJ are bread from the same trauma and life...yes they sleep together but remember their love stems beyond lovers and family so you could still say they have a unspoken kinship/connection). Apollo is jealous of their relationship that continues to grow and he tricks Artemis into killing Orion.
Now this is very on the nose with Jo, Ian and TJ so it can be a very obvious ending. But...the author could absolutely twist it into it being Jo that does something fucked up, because he's already showing signs of jealousy and craving of Ian's attention, but TJ is always a call away and Everytime Ian goes running back. Plus him taking that revolver back with him is pretty etched in the story that it will definitely be making a comeback in the future season(s).
Either way this story is gonna break all of us and I think we need to be prepared for one fucked ride that may traumatized us in the end ┗( T﹏T )┛
I'm not biased on Tae Joon or Jo....yes Tae Joon is the perfect balance of booktok bad boy sex appeal, but Jo is that shockingly sexy but sweet character. Cause y'all not gonna skip over my boy eating the booty like groceries even though he ain't ever been with a man. Listen Jo not playin games lol Ian gonna have a limp because of these two ╮(￣▽￣)╭
If anything I wanna be Ian for a damn week hahaha
That indicates Jo might you know die. The original myth has a tragic ending. Apollo tricks Artemis into killing Orion. I don't think it's considered bad that he's showing signs of possessiveness and jealousy. It's most likely happen to anyone even us when we are in his position. If this play out like the Orion fable, he will die. It's true that Jo is not playing child games. I knew he would be the most mysterious one from the beginning. I noticed that Ian having difficulties keeping up with Jo in the bed although their sex isn't well described atm.
Exactly, if it plays out that way: Jo could potentially die which would be crazy tragic. But I'm not saying him being jealous or possessive is inherently bad: those can obviously just be him scared of losing Ian. I was just pointing out if the author decides to create a twist in the story with him starting to become a bad person, that these could lead to a worst behavior. But again I'm just making theories for fun.
If TJ does that, he’s beyond redeemable. But I have hopes he won’t but man what you described is possibly a foreshadowing and I’m gonna be shocked if Jo dies but not for long since it was foreshadowed.
Or if Jo does something beyond redeemable, I’d also be shocked considering his sweet personality is kind of twisting due to his desires which he’s aware of at the same time and trying to repress it. But I fear TJ will ultimately cause those desires to pour out, jealousy can drive people mad sometimes.
It would be interesting if Jo became more possessive in a way but not exactly bad/evil.
You never know with this author in particular. She will twist and turn everything. Like how she did with TJ who finally decided to let go of Ian after Jason's funeral but Ian reluctant to let go of TJ. It's a pretty scary theory of Jo could potentially die by Ian's own hand.
That would be tragic but in my opinion it would be more tragic if TJ was the one to die by Ian’s hand because of their history together.
Nothing is more tragic than accidentally killing someone who helped you to become a better version of yourself and had a potential to be your future.
That’s true unless that potential no longer exists.
Both has the potential.
You are very correct...this story is oozing with a modern Greek tragedy possibly. Can't wait to see what we got coming for us
Who's your favourite character?
Hmmm...I would say Ian. He's a bit like a lost child... he's seems so lonely to me. He can't be honest with TJ because he knows it'll change everything about them and he longs for a life like Jo's but doesn't know how to start. What about you, who do you like the most so far?
My favourite is Ian too. He's a broken character but he's actually kind. His kindness is his biggest weakness. He deserves nothing but happiness for everything he went through. I really trust that he will make a better choice.
I agree, out of all the endings we can get. I just want Ian happy and thriving in the end (⌒▽⌒)
Never knew I would be obsessed with a bulked up slim shady wannabe in my life let alone a cop (I'm super ACAB in life lol) but Jake got me hooked like a drug addict. I love me some Jake x Shin action. I hate how I binged this whole manhwa just to find out it's on a hiatus til spring!!!! Damn it to hell
Why did I read this just to end up uninterested in everyone. No one did any logical thinking, the entire friend group is sexually immature. Tak is creepy for continuously kissing sanho and nutting on his FUCKING FACE while he slept. I would have beat the bricks off my best friend...Sanho can't hold single adult conversation and just shouts. Yi Hyeok is the best one of the four, he's just a bit slow to catch on. In Seo is pushy and absolutely confusing...I get it, your feelings were crushed at 6 and you thought you push his mom away but as young adults the fact he never even tried to be honest until the end pisses me off. Claiming ownership of Hyeok is gross and also board line obsessive...I can't believe he could sleep with him, kiss him, love on him, and still be like no we can't date cause I hurt your mom's feelings 20 years ago...what??? The parents can kick rocks too...PPD and closeted or not...F-you lady for not trying to speak to your son, letting him be the first to make contact...ugh Like grow up woman. Your ex husband is a deadbeat too...
Also so we gonna ignore the fact the boss also almost committed murder to get closer to Hyeok?? The fucking dude SA the boy and that's it? No beat down or curse out? I really hoped I could like this one too...of well
THIS!!
Thank you
I came here because I just liked white-heads and half way through I got annoyed
But I kept reading because it usually bothers me to drop things midway, it's an OCD thing
And I keep getting more annoyed with each chapter that comes out
Same, the art is beautiful along with the characters but yes. Everything just annoyed the hell out of me. And I agree... it's very rare I will drop a manhwa/manga midway unless the characters are so disgusting that my brain can't handle it anymore. But that's very rare. This story was just a lot unspoken words and beating around the bush. Nothing happen that felt significant
Just finished my re-read of this an honestly I feel like the "toxic" part of their situationship isn't even that bad. Makes me think a lot of you either are still very young or don't date. Because yes Ji Won was a prick but he was honest from the start that he was into having a relationship. Dong Gyun is a young man with his own feelings of course but he should have never started up this as a virgin. That's literally a blueprint for disaster, Ji Won was wrong for using him for his needs and never asking him what he wants. Both wanted this "relationship" but neither were honestly even fit for it too. I still enjoyed it nonetheless! Jinx is well Jinx... Jaekyung will always be worst because I can't forgive him freely exposing Dan to that pretty actor... it's gross and honestly a super violation of privacy and consent for me. Consent that word is why Ji Won and Dong Gyun work better because at the end of the day...consent was always there. Dan's consent is flimsy at best and sadly only given because of guilt and debt.
Anyway Chan Woo and Myung Dae are still my favorite! Lol I love assertive power bottoms! Lol
Ahhh i cant wait for jeakyungs character development. Were gonna wait for about 8 months seeing how long it took here or even more. But still i cant wait for them to be all lovely dovelyヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
My heart! Oh they have my and I don't want it back. I can't believe how damn cute Yechan is and how much I was just like Sun Yool and would give him the world. This was such a sweet and easy to digest story after all the insanity I have read lately. The best I can describe my love for Chan x Yool is like having lemonade on the hottest day in summer. It sweet and citrus and oh so refreshing!
Chinatsu and Kasumi are so breath taking to look at. I absolutely love the art themed here for both of them. I wish the story was longer so I could bask in it more. Chinatsu took my breath away and I've seen very good looking manga men, but for what ever reason, he has the most romantic look to him. I loved his art style, hair, expressions, and clothing choice. Kasumi was beautiful, sweet with the kindest eyes, his words were the most captivating trait for him.
Can you tell how in love I am with them? Lol
Definitely one of my favorite shounen-ai in a long time (▰˘◡˘▰)
At first I wasn't really into the relationship between Hee Soo and Taekyung. It felt unwarranted for a while because I truly didn't understand Hee Soo as a person yet. But once I reread chapters and realized I liked the fact we met adolescent him, older teen, young adult, and now adult him in season 2. We got to see the real life digression of his psyche. I loved the ending monologue that a child left with no one is a longing one. People over look how much neglect and abandonment can be a on child. Hee Soo lost his mother in a traumatic event that would have took his life as well while he was only roughly 4 to 6 years old. Then he's left in the useless hands of verbal and mentally neglecting people that used him for a cash grab. Then he clings to the first adult that ever actually "cared" about him.
Not realizing Taekyung himself was just trying to wash away his guilt and sins of consciously knowing his mother was to blame the entire time. Which is a twist I love because it makes even more sense why he was invested in this case. He wanted something/anything to prove his mother wasn't the culprit, but instead he got the answer he didn't want. His mother is an unapologetic murderer and he chose to avoid that door and decided to shut Hee Soo's instead. Which in my eyes makes him a coward (an understanding one cause I get it...it's his mother or this boy, most people will always pick their family) but that doesn't change the fact he finally broke Hee Soo.
Yes Hee Soo is damaged and needs mental help, but it's the first time I see past the "fake" suicide attempts as just a desperate child wanting to be loved. But Mr. Cha but way more then he could chew and just tried to spit out Hee Soo which is sad. He should have never allowed himself to be caught up with this child if he didn't know how to handle him.
As for Hee Soo it's a shame how damaged and lost he is. I'm not here to be 100% understanding because trauma should never acquaint to violence and assault, but I can't say I didn't see this coming. The moment he stabbed Taekyung I believe he not only killed a version of Mr. Cha loved but he killed that last hope he had for himself to be human. His starvation for love was pushed too far this time that sadly I don't see him coming back from this. Like Mr. Cha's mother said "can one truly be saved from abyss just cause of love". Hee Soo doesn't know love, his love is suffocating and lonely while Mr. Cha's is Guild ridden and scared.
This next season gonna be real toxic probably so I better prepare myself. ┗( T﹏T )┛
Wow, genuine just wow. This is so beautifully written and I really couldn't agree more. Yeah I can't help but feel Hee Soo stabbing Mc was much more then an action of violence, the author portrayed the degrading psyche so well until it bubbled up to an outburst of violence as a desperate attempt for Hee Soo to keep Mc. It's so layer and season 3 will definitely be diving into all the bs building up. Really will have to prep ourselves for the next season ToT
I really like how you wrote ur pov on both heesoo and taekyung, and both are definitely on point too. Because it kinda sad most people I see here are defending one sides and despise the other.
I knew he wasn't gonna remember squat about last night and even if he is lying the save face, it's the fact he blatantly just disrespected Dan's simple effort to being caring towards him by not only once again talking about his financial status but to just chuck the key ring like that really just shows how childish Jaekyung is. It's a sweet (pointless) gesture.
I know he isn't the worst of the worst ML I've read, but he absolutely pisses me off the most because I hate immature men that are over 20...he know how to speak you can easily use big boy words.
It isn't hard to be a bit cold without just breaking someone's spirit or heart. I gonna assume this attitude comes from past "trauma" but the lack of empathy he has for Dan is disheartening. It's such a chore to watch Dan be in love with him (even though I find his found affection for Jae stupid and too soon to be really love) at least he's just trying to be kind... that's it--Dan is just being kind and Jae is practically spewing venom at the mouth lol like relax dude. I get it...you didn't have hugs growing up lol
I love that by season 2 the nails were addressed because my fucking god! He stuck that damn knife into Noks poor little butthole I cried on the inside lmao as a woman I could never imagine a man fine or not sticking what is two inch needles into me! Be gone you demon!!! Lol
I'm happy they explained him carving them down for Noks pleasure, a nice touch.
I will say Jae Shin is very interesting, I enjoy his constant idea that he doesn't want to love or even like humans but he never even questioned how easily he feel for Nok.
As whole this is probably the most beautifully detailed manhwa I've read into a long time. Jesus Chris even their well... appendages were perfectly colored and veined (⊙…⊙ )
Just the attention to coloring and character art is immaculate. I couldn't keep my eyes off of Jae Shin... he's absolutely stunning along Lee Nok as well...the han boks were also captivating.
Anyway I look forward to the next level of growth for them in season 3!!!ヾ(☆▽☆)
