Damn...well I know Mom is gonna be gone in the next update.
I appreciate both of the ML's but this is why Tae Seok pushing his way in can be too much for someone like Do Jun. The man is severely depressed, has high anxiety that he doesn't take care of (very nonsensical of him honestly), and he's a workaholic. That is not a man ready to settle down and be in love. I know he does like maybe love Tae but he needs to find his self worth first. Cause at his ripe age of 28 years old and still doesn't understand that someone like Min Woo is a piece shit and apologizes for his disgusting behavior then he really isn't ready.
I understand Tae is just trying to be in Jin's corner when he himself isn't but you can't fight other peoples battles it'll make you drained and feel inadequate. Plus Jun said it himself, he's not even grateful for what Tae did (Personally I would've treated my man like a King lol) but Jun can't wrap his head around someone doing something for him without needing something in return. That's why I understand why Jin Woo hid it from him. He can't handle this kind of stuff but at the same time he also needs to.
I know they're gonna make it, but both of them have a decent way of healing to go (especially Jun).
Now Jin Woo...I don't hate him and I'm rooting for Gi Tae but god I hate his relationship with Jun. I really wish authors would stop writing in incest with lope holes (oh they aren't blood related) screw that! Jun calls that man's mom his mom dammit! He says he's his brother... they're family, it's incest and it's gross.
P.S don't debate me on this last part. I will happily call you a weirdo and ignore you.
My only Toxic Manhwa where the greenest flag Top/Bottom are surrounded by thy most blackest flag situations and people. Like Jooha and Dooshik could write a damn book series with the shit they've been through together.
I'm so happy where we've come with both of my insanely melodramatic boyfriends (b/c I know they were freezing after Idk falling into a god damn frozen lake) but yes, let's have a screaming snot match lmao. But you know what, it brought tears to my eyes too.
Jooha still trying his damndest to push Dooshik away and die alone, like I will say this only for this moment but Jooha that is most selfish shit to say to your partner after watching them willing to put every fiber of their being into not only saving you from literal nightmare fuel life, but loving you back to humanity. Some would say Dooshik didn't have to do all of that, and that is true! But it was his choice and he knew very well what he was signing up for when he got kidnapped and assaulted in Season 1 and he chose to stay.
He loves Jooha and has the right to want him to try to live for once in his life. Jooha deserves to live and exist without being tormented by his past with Pilwon and the Twins even when their gone. I would have said the same things Dooshik said. Dooshik has suffered too and he's allowed to finally cry, vent, and get angry when he's finally "reunited" with his boyfriend only to be told he's stupid for still being around. Nope, Jooha needs to finally see what life without Pilwon is like, the life he should have had from the beginning. He broke every part of Jooha (mentally, physically, and emotionally) and Dooshik was man enough to stay and slowly build him (Joo) up from scratch (it's not perfect, but it's so much better then before). So yes Dooshik has the right to be mad and act out...just hug him dammit! And please go inside before y'all freeze to death and Pearl Boy fans riot lol
Sorry I needed to let out my emotions ┗( T﹏T )┛
Cute story, better than these super toxic omegaverse stories but honestly I couldn't stand Yoon Woo for the first 20+ chapters and I appreciate the both Alphas actually having common sense and rightfully calling out his weird reason to not confess or tell Taekyum he's an omega. But if my best friend just straight up ignores me for 5 damn years...you best believe I would be pissed. I think my problem with the story is this should have been such a quick read because both leads already like one another and just needed to communicate. Like nothing about the actual story is submersive enough to keep the story rolling smoothly (for me). It would have been a cute quick read but it felt longer than necessary when nothing really is happening.
Well what did you expect to happen ? It was a cute story with a bit drama and thay why this story is so good cause there's no unnecessary drama or toxicity just fluff
Definitely said it is a cute story but I gave my opinion that it could have been shorter because as fluffy and adorable as it is. It was dragging unnecessarily (for me). I can enjoy fluff and still not like all fluffy stories equally (Love Tractor being one of my fav go to). This story particularly was a bit boring cause the characters didn't pull me in hard enough for the length that is all I'm saying
Ohh okay I understand..
Too much fluff is boring honestly. Op is right you can remove the last 15 chapters and you'll not miss anything major in the story. This have 9.6 rating before and after they got together the rating drop
Not everyone wants to see drama or something major to happen , I prefer stories like this without unnecessary drama or misunderstanding
I can tell we're coming to a end soon but lord Jin and Matthew have special place on my Manhwa list..like they're not perfect to say the least but I find them super endearing to watch grow together. Having Matthew apologizing for his part in drugging and hurting Jin to "keep him safe" was a mature move for the author. I also appreciate that Jin knows that forgiveness is okay in this situation because Matthew really is still a "kid" in the grand scheme of this.
One of few age gap relationships in Manhwas that I won't complain too much about (still wish they never met as a kids but story has to story).
Anyway I just want Jin to finally find his peace of mind and happiness and Matthew to realize he finally has the family he never knew he would get.
Is it weird I have no idea where this falls for me as a whole? Like I know for a fact I like it for the most part (pretty characters , story is easy to follow, no one is down right super red flag more like yellowish) but I was getting bored by chap 40. I like Yeon Oh but his developing feelings for Jaehyuk was too surface level (I guess that's why a 32 year old shouldn't mess with a 24 yr old). I know Jaehyuk treating him well and paying off his debts were kind gestures to a kid that never experienced that level of money but to me that's pretty much why he said he was gonna sponsor you (be his boyfriend and get nice things). The only gesture I get behind that made me believe Jaehyuk started to liked Yeon was buying the painting for no reason.
Also not sure why he used this boy for his body like you telling me your grandfather is so gross that he was watching his grandson sleep with his partner in the privacy of his own home?? Like make that make sense, if you know your grandfather bugged your house you get someone to debug it, not sleep with a impressionable young man? I think it would have still been a nice read and hotter build up if the sex part was not in the deal that way it feels less icky. The kid is an actor he could have faked the moans and stuff while y'all just did a lot of PDA when out.
I am proud of Yeon for standing his ground that Jae played with his emotions for too long but like I was a bit annoyed when he just said nah I'm not giving you the USB...like you don't even know why he needs that (literally evidence for Jae mother's murder....) don't be childish (I know he's 24 but that's why I don't care for Jae using him in the first place)
Also Manhwa author please stop making the age gap relationship start with the oldest knowing the young as adolescent...like come on....
Again not saying I hate it just felt like it needed polishing at times ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
As much as this story has a soft spot in my heart cause this is one of the manhwa when I was just getting into bl I did realised with time that it's not that good as I have made it in my head which is painful to admit. It's like when you remember a memory and it's perfect in your head than it was in reality.
But I can't help but get infatuated with the ml. He's so magnetic, charming, well mannered, classy and mysterious.God I love a man who shuts tf up.
And I also liked the mc in the starting more (I still love him) even after him making decisions that made me annoyed because at the end he was just a 24 year old kid struggling to support his family with no mother and a piece of shit as father. I also liked how he would stand for himself and won't beg for help from ml.
I relate with you with the 'where this falls for me too' even though it being one of my favs.
There were too many parts that were really unnecessary like the sex part you mentioned and the childhood trope. This story had so much potential but at the end it was just underwhelming. Which is so sad. But still gives me nostalgia and will be my special one.
Exactly, I had a good time reading it just sad I didn't end up loving it enough. I love a ML that's exactly like Jae (intelligent, quiet, to the point, but a bit dominant) like Zayne from Love and Deepspace if you play it lol.
The story had a lot of potential, love a good cliche paying back parents debts and a graveling ML lol but I will accept it for what it is. It's a great start or restart when you can't handle reading another red flag trope couple.
*Is somebody gonna my freak*
Perfectly sums up Aaron and Yu Jin lol story is surprisingly simple but not boring. I'm curious about Yu Jin's upbringing and his trauma behind his family and singing. I would also love to learn more about Aaron, he's a bit surface level right now still.
Also is it me but when the Blondes are the Top for the story these men be insatiable and down right kink masters lol
Also just a sweet note! Why is Colin so damn adorable
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ I just wanna bite him lol his widdle hands holding Yu Jin's thumb was so darn cute!
Also I would like if the story brings up the way Hollywood and parents be forcing their children to live out these dreams that were never theirs' in the first place, it's such a sad reality in real life.
So this is my first read through of season 1...sorry if I sound long winded I tend to do this when I got a lot on my mind.
So overall I am enjoying myself, art is pretty, characters seem interesting enough, and story is easy to follow. But here is my actual feelings and take.
As a couple I like Yeong Woon and Seo In but as two separate people they frustrate the hell out of me...more Seo In because you know Top gotta be forceful/borderline rapey for kicks. I don't get why they can't just talk like damn...I know you unintentionally hurt one another 10 years ago but like come on. If Seo In's mom really paid Yeong's dad off because (this is an educated guess) Jaewon jumped you and ruined your Jodo career why not just come out and say something?! Like your brother ruined me, why else would I disappear and avoid you?! And Seo In if you have no idea why he left and just broke your heart just be a man and say it! Like this unhealthy ass situation is so uncalled for (in real life I know Manhwa has to Manhwa lol).
Next rant...did Jaewon kiss his own brother!?!?! (⊙…⊙ ) I don't like that one bit....nope potential Incest is scaring me man. So like is he in love with Seo In or is this some weird obsession with the both of them? Curious how he died too...
Now Tae Gu is a fine man (would totally be my type) but I will say this. I can not and will not support a relationship w/ Yeong. The age gap would have been fine if he did not help this boy/ knew him since he was a preteen. That would make Tae Gu 21 when he first met 12 year old Yeong...just no. It ruins the feels every time the flash backs will happen.
Anyway I look forward to seeing Seo and Yeong trying to trust each other and hopefully talk. But if my spidey sense is tingling then we'll look at another half season of tears, mean words, and people getting in the way of the MC's. Yay! Lol
Yasssssss! EVERY SINGLE TIME! FUCK-U BRANDON! Matthew is his baby dammit! Thank you for doing what needed to be done Jin (づ￣ ³￣)づ you handsome thang!
This boy knew what we all needed! A Glasses wearing, wet white button up, and tight slacks with no draws Dooshik I mean what a sight! ლ(´ڡ`ლ) I love a perverted bottom just as much as top. It makes the relationship feel more real when we can get more honest and excited bottoms like Jooha. I hope these two get to enjoy their blissful times together and if/when Jooha does get his memories back (the ending pretty much told us he will) I hope they will stay just as happy and comfortable as they are now. But that's for later feelings...
Anywho...can't wait for the next chapter ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I'm just so curious about what Jake is thinking. He puts his feelings behind this macho mask when it comes to everything even Shin that in times like this I'm curious as to why did he involve Shin in all this shit? Like sure, sleep him and make y'all dirty jokes but why put him in harms way???
I don't buy he had no choice, from day one he could have convinced Shin to continue seeing him through regular means (Shin's a normal man, so he knew a good lay when Jake asked for BJ in the parking lot lol).
Sure Shin is attracted to dangerous situations even unintentionally but he never stated he only ever dated people like Jake. I just feel like Jake made up this whole bad boy gangster to impress Shin when no one asked for that which if I was Shin would piss me off too.
Like stop playing games with me and just say your a cop (I trust Shin had no reason to snitch)...Also I know Shin is pissed and his pride is mad hurt but I do hope he understands that being with someone that isn't like you can be a good thing too. But I'm pretty ACAB and Jake proved to me why I still stand by that. Like you don't waltz into this man's life and flip shit upside down and think he'll be okay being your puppet. I hope Jake is prepared to fight to keep Shin safe because if he ends up hurt I'm rioting!
Can we also praise this is the first Manhwa where neither lead has "confessed" yet...80 plus chapter in and we still don't even know if this is Lust, infatuation, like, or love. Sure Shin gave in and stated Jake was the only option and choice but that isn't nothing to a love confession. I'm so down to see how their relationship is developed after all this BS is over
Couldn’t agree more with what you’re saying,Jake’s whole ‘macho mask’ act is frustrating because, by pretending he’s some bad boy gangster, he actually complicates everything between him and Shin. Like you said, why put Shin in harm’s way if he could’ve just approached him honestly from the start? And yes, I think Shin would’ve kept jake’s cop status a secret if he’d just been upfront with him. The way Jake dragged shin into his mess is hard to defend, and it honestly feels like Jake let his ego get in the way. Jake could have just met shin under normal circumstances and gotten to know him honestly, but instead, he chose to involve shin in his undercover work without a second thought for how it might affect him. It really shows how selfish and inconsiderate jake’s actions were he put shin’s safety, even his entire life on the line for the sake of his own mission. And, like you said, he didn’t consider shin’s own feelings or how dangerous this could be for him. Jake’s willingness to throw shin into such a risky situation just to serve his goals says a lot about his priorities, and it’s a huge reason their relationship is as complicated as it is now.
Exactly! And I'm a big JakexShin fan but I do love a good apology and growth montage. Like Jake really has to start having some human growth because we're getting all the emotional pulls from Shin and it's starting to feel one-sided. I personally feel like Jake has yet to really express if he's saddened without Shin, maybe that's the point. Maybe he himself didn't realize how much he was enjoying their time together but like sir you are a grown ass man. It's not hard to put 2 and 2 together and be like "oh I like this man".
He risked not only Shin's life, but his own and his whole teams mission. I was with his captain about kicking his butt off the team. You're playing chess by yourself and not even dropping clues for anyone to follow along. He's his self-centered personality is starting to feel tired some.
Totally, and there’s something else I’d like to mention is jake’s way of showing love is so wrapped up in control, secrecy, and maintaining a tough exterior, and it just doesn’t leave room for any real vulnerability or honesty, that it just feels unhealthy..shin’s the one constantly giving emotionally, being vulnerable, and actually feeling the weight of their relationship while jake’s still hiding behind this mask. It’s almost like jake hasn’t figured out that love requires real honesty and openness, not just a sense of possessiveness or the need for control . It’s such a onesided pull right now, where shin’s putting his heart out there, but jake’s too stuck in his own head to truly give back. It’s hard to see how they can build anything real unless jake learns that love means letting someone see and know your true unguarded self.
If jake had told shin he was a cia agent, it probably would’ve put them in more jeopardy
Oh I absolutely agree but that's why my first question is why involve him at all. Like why risk everything your building for the case just to sleep with Shin
Honestly I've been thinking the same thing while the hiatus was happening and now these new chapters are solidifying that feeling. Shin is doing a lot of the inner thinking and expressions while Jake has been quietly teasing him with hints and ideas of who he is. Like maybe he's super into that but as of where we are in the story I'm definitely gonna need some character development from him (just a bit) cause I do like that their relationship is different from other manhwas but that doesn't mean Jake can continue to just be unreadable, a liar, and possessive all at once. It'll start to make us frustrated along side Shin (who technically already gave up on the man...for now)
Ohh I see, sorry, I somehow skipped over that part
No need to be sorry lol it's cool
