This story is not sad, I genuinely have no idea how anyone could think the author would be weird enough to destroy her own story with such a vague or bitter ending when again and again she "attempted" to kill both Joo and Doo...she had the perfect opportunity to do it when Pilwon had the gun or when they jumped over the ledge. That would be bad writing to me because after everything she put them through and for them to die after barely living freely would be pointless and destroy her entire arc for them. I truly know in my mind and heart she wrote that moment as a symbol of Dooshik saving Jooha from drowning like Jooha did for him in the beginning and Jooha gaining his memories back is a perfect moment to give Dooshik back the man he fell in love with after he waited patiently and lovingly.
Sure she could've or should've made another panel showing them resurfacing but it's her story and to me that kiss is beautiful goodbye to us and a welcome home to them.
Cue my eye rolling (￣へ￣). At this point I wonder if Kim Dan is written to act like a human anymore? The man is always crying buckets yet doesn't ever assert his boundaries then he's thinking of Jaekyung's healthy and needs before his own? Plus Heesung spitting BS about what Jae did was out of his feelings? Like does he realize that Jae could have just asserted himself and said no touchy or we fight without the gross display of Dan's...well everything. It's like the author has to pick the worst way for Jae to act Jealous.
This story is gonna rot my soul to the core T.T
I mean whatever jk said held h down that caused a trauma so he feels the need to do everything js to save his grandma and Kim Dan does have some pride but he's not showing it cuz he's getting held down I think
I mean I agree to an extent. This is just purely my opinion about how the character is written then anything. I absolutely understand having to hold onto his pride and suck up some of Jaekyung's abuse for his grandma but I just will never understand why couldn't he be written with a sense of self. He can easily be more assertive and stand up for himself without giving up on having sex with Jae for the money. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ but it's not my characters or story so I'll just continue to sigh in silence lol
Yo What the fuck ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ ain't no way this fucking pervert just causally sexually violated Kim Dan and exposes him without his consent to Heesung but he also full on calls him a fucking object. This is down right disturbing how much I'm ready to fucking punch a fictional character in the throat and have him arrested. Like why is the author writing such a insufferable man?! How are you suppose to want Kim Dan to end up with him? How are you suppose to forgive this? Listen I know I have read shit like killing stalking, but at least I knew what I was signing up for and the character is literally an unforgivable psychopath. This is supposed to be a "Normal" human being that with a couple of issues here and there. Jaekyung is literally a sadistic rapist with a beautiful face. This episode has to be the worse one yet, it made my skin crawl so much that I knew immediately what he was gonna do that it took me so much will power to actually read it.
At this point I am really reading this to just prove my own point that this author is gonna "redeem" him with so little thought to what he's done to Kim Dan.
I honestly just want to punch a hole in the wall everytime I see Jaekyung's face (╬￣皿￣)凸. Like why do writers/authors create such toxic men/seme's for no reason. Like Jae could be just the standard overly jealous or even slightly possessive and he would be already ten times better then this. He's already using a down on his luck man with zero options but to be his highly paid sex toy, why can't he at least act like a damn human being sometimes. Jesus I'm gonna get ulcers from reading this I can feel it #－.－)
I'm honestly trying to figure out if I even like this yet. I accidentally stumbled upon Jinx because I mistakenly thought it was done
I just binged BJ Alex in these two days and I will say that I like where this is going. I enjoy the boys and by boys I mean Jiwon and Donggyun. But there are times where Jiwon was being a manipulative asshole: Using his power over Donggyun was sometimes cringeworthy. But!
But Donggyun is not a child, yes he is only 19 I believe, but he is an adult in most places. He knew what he was signing up for with Jiwon. Jiwon was clear from day one that he was not in it for love. Of course he fell in love too (not shocking) but he was honest to the boy. So I wasn't that mad at him when Donggyun almost ruined his work. Because I would have been pissed two, this is his job and DG could have taken that from him. He didn't even try not to fall deeper in love, he was already fantasizing about their future. I feel like the manhwa wants Jiwon to be the bad guy for being cold hearted, but he is an honest man too. He just a young man too, so both of then need to learn to trust more (Jiwon especially)
I guess I just think in real life this is why sleeping with a very big fan could be risky and celebs cross that out quick
Btw, DG is 23 xD
Damn 23?! My bad he seemed so naive that I must have just assumed he wasn't even 20 yet lol
(╬￣皿￣)凸
There's my answer...
In the words of young and weird soul named Lucas...
"I Don't Man~"
I get what the author is doing and it's prolonged and dated. I don't care anymore about the Xai Run and Siwon, even Jinha. This "fake" drama is giving me the ulcers.
There is not reason why Siwon doesn't know this Chinese guy is spitting utter BS. And the fact he is continuously walking into his traps really drives me insane. It's like the author is trying to make sure Siwon is as dumbas a bag of bricks.
Just let this end so my misery can too. I'm not rooting for any character at this point and sure as hell don't care anymore about who deserves who. Donghyuk or whatever his name is barking up the wrong tree or what that saying is
╮(￣▽￣)╭
He's mad Jinha didn't realize how "upset" Siwon was this whole time. I'm sorry I didn't realize people have to stop being upset when the person they're mad at gets upset too. It's called being mad at each other for a reason.
Siwon is a clueless moron, Jinha is a bubble of angst, Xian Run is a narcissistic privilege prick, and Donghyuk or whatever is the Second lead syndrome character.
No one is a good, well developed, and interesting character. This "story" is getting more and more painful to read.
If it is getting painful to read then leave and come back til its completed or just leave (¬_¬) and the reason to why siwon fell into that china bastards trap is because siwon wanted to know what was with jinha or smth atleast the manhwa is telling a story do you even know how difficult it is to write a story and draw beautiful art?? (ーー;)
Being someone who does appreciate beautiful art and stories. Yes I always give an artist credit for their work. Did I ever say the author/artist isn't talented? Did I once discredit their hard work? No. I'm sorry that it hurts the artist that people like myself don't like where the story is going, but I'm not sorry for feeling how I do.
The artist lost their way with the story and you can't say they haven't. You even said that it's hard to write a manhwa and make beautiful art. While that is true, it's not really an excuse for the story being badly written. That's not a good way to give feed back to any artist. They need to see the flaws to know what isn't considered good or bad.
Yes I may not like where the story is going but this is MY personal feelings because I saw the potential the story had just about 20 chapters back. But the story is lost in it's own world by trying to give a "deeper" story. The story has all the elements to be emotional and heart tugging with using the abusive background of Jinha's childhood. Even Siwon has a strong story, his struggle to understand his new sexuality/lover and his strength to be a manga artist. So you don't have to tell me to leave because you don't like my feelings being written out.
This is a story open for conversations, we are adults (well I am because I have no idea how old you are). So nothing wrong with seeing others opposite feelings than your own.
But to each their own I guess ╮(￣▽￣)╭
You know what is sad...I didn't even read this chapter. I seriously read the first page and then skipped to the last one and was not even remotely shocked to see him about to become the new Anastasia Steele in Xuan Run's Fifty Shades of Grey.
Is Jinha a character anymore? Where was the plot going before? What happened to Jinha's horrible father? His trauma from his mother's suicide and abuse? What about Simon's love to become a manhwa artist? His fear to be himself or standing up to his dad?
What happened to the fucking plot line in general? I mean God dammit ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
we got so close to seeing real character development with love, trust, and hardships only for this story to become a young fan girls kinky fantasy.
I wanted a story with new and creative character's, and with real depth; not this 2D bullshit. Which is utter bullshit. I see many on here that agree with me that no matter how much kink is in a story. It's just not worth this agony.
Also this story has definitely taken the turn for the worst if fan's are excited for the third wheel/supporting character that is "EVIL" might I say--to see him actually end up with our MC.
Yeah...so much for TRUE love or friendship #－.－)
Agree completely. I can't help make comparisons with this series to "Lover boy". Siwon and Jinha are around the same age Eunho is now (in the latest chapters), so after Eunho's major growth as a character, and maturing Whereas Siwon, especially comes off as still stuck being a kid with no development. The other series involved one sided childhood "crush", but there was a lot of backstory, context, and focus and communication when Eunho and the artist were adults to make the story feel believable and full of depth. Siwon doesn't accept being in a same sex relationship, just as the artist in Lover boy struggled with his sexual identity, but the latter was explained in a far more age appropriate (they aren't tweens or teens but men in their twenties and thirties ffs) and realistic way, with the right slow pace rather than this series which is extreme drama after another with little real emotion and communication.
I'm just going to ignore the whole bullshit magic stones and memory loss, as they were pointless contributions to what should have been quite a serious story about a man who has grown up, a victim of child abuse and who is trying to reconnect with his first friend, and explaining the unhealthy aspect of this just like it showed in Lover boy.
That was a bit of a ramble, but hopefully you get the jist of my point :)
I didnt mean to down vote
(￣ε(#￣)Σ
I had read the first 20 months ago, and today i read the last 40 (appr).... I have to say i was utterly disappointed. I didn't care about the stone because ìt was part of the story from the beggining and the mangaka wanted to have a supernatural vibe in the manhwa, but the plot is all over the place. Some things don't even add up and it seems that there are huge plot holes, like black ones sucking up everything. I am sure that saiki's father from the disastrous life of saiki k. is the editor...(⊙…⊙ )
I agree with you on everything you said. but I feel it won't get better and I lost all of hope on this ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I"m reading this just to see how worse it can get.
Oh. My. God someone that gets my point!! Yes!
Your explanation is exactly what I was going for. The character arms, development stages, age range and growth. The fact that Siwon is a young twenty-something year man bothers me more. These men are way too old to be making these childlike decisions and/or reactions. I get it, his sexuality is a hard th ing to adjust to, but the immature tantrums or freak outs are completely uncalled for. He could handle his maturity better; the author could have had his character dig deeper into his true self and communicate to Jinha his feelings. Grow his character, but instead he makes the dumbest decisions EVER. Such as having drinks with the man that he knows wants to ruin his and Jinha's "relationship".
And with Jinha...let's face it. The author is obviously over his childhood trauma. It wasn't obviously traumatic and he never faced child abuse almost all his young childhood *sarcasm* we're suppose to assume he's all better now that his so called "best friend" is here.
Man this manhwa is making me stressed. I'm only reading it because I hate ending stories mid-way.
Same here honey I'm reading this because I hate unfinished stories （￣へ￣）
I 100% agree. The plot holes are tremendous, so I know for a fact they will only continue to increase. The stones are obviously fillers for convenience to the story for the creator. I always found them useless. When I began this story months ago I thought I had something worth my time. I would tell my sister (big manhwa fan too) about it and say she should try it out. Now I warn her to never start it. This story is an utter disaster and I will only see through because I don't like unfinished things. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
These two are damn mood! I wish I identify as Seo-An--the man the perfect balance of sexy and assertive without it crossing into toxic or controlling. I absolutely love his openness about sex with Woo-Won and lays it all on the table.
But as a person I absolutely identify with Woo-Won we even share the same MIBT traits. It's so hard to put yourself out there and trust in others when the world can barely slow down and give you a damn break. I feels like your sinking everytime you try to get close to the surface. I really hope this continues to be the same continuation of communication between them even with the obvious hiccups and issues arising in the future.ヾ(☆▽☆)
wow i like how you described each of their personality. very on point.
