ive been itching to say this since the first few chapters but is Dongjae autistic? i’m at chap 33 rn and the “i have a disorder that makes it difficult for me to feel emotions” kinda solidified it for me cause it’s really part of the character, not just the typical “asshole playboy being an asshole playboy” a lot of authors do with semes. apart from that, his black & white thinking (e.g., associating smoking to being a bad person/student or a bully; violence = bad all the time; the whole attraction thing), difficulties understanding others (e.g., failing to empathize with Euntak on that museum date), lack of facial expressions, needing to be taught about which emotions are what, making unfiltered (and sometimes hurtful) remarks not realizing how it might sound to others, difficulties following social norms, etc. are leading me to believe he’s in the spectrum. im not one to armchair diagnose people and speculate with others cause that’s weird and invasive but he’s not a real person so my headcanon is he’s autistic lol. that also makes him less of an asshole because his behavior and statements were not to deliberately hurt Euntak; doesn’t make it less hurtful tho but it explains stuff at least.
i used to think they’re such a mismatched couple but Euntak being that expressive and animated might be a good thing for Dongjae since it rly seems he has trouble reading people. Euntak being that much of a crybaby is kinda worrying tho lol.
first few chapters were interesting but now it’s become boring to read. i don’t necessarily have a problem with the ml being insane, ive read worse stuff than this. but their dynamic with the mc has become tiring to read. idk they all seem v one dimensional and there’s no rift between their relationship even with all their “fights”, it just resolves on its own. art is pretty tho.
the fact that Minchan literally said, “Sometimes, my own name sounds unfamiliar to me . . . no one will ever utter it or discover it.” yet the ML still calls him by a name he doesn’t recognize is such a painful irony. i feel so bad for him, no child deserves to go through what Minchan went through.
“i’ll probably get turned on every time i get paid” coming from a workaholic millionaire is so hot for some reason
i love how everyone’s confused by his dreams but they cheer anyway. hopefully, he’s still friends with the guys.
i have never cried while watching someone get pounded raw until now omg not to be dramatic but the author is a genius in punching my fucking emotional gut—the emotions, the facial expressions, the story telling, the words!!!! i love this manhwa
leave. drop this. clearly some of u wanted romance-heavy bl so find some. it’s weird to attack a well-crafted story just cause it’s not your cup of tea.
i did not just read two grown adults play tag with their feelings for 92 damn chapters to not get side stories… I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO VEGGIE VENTURER???? DO THEY START LIVING TOGETHER????? HAVR THEY BECOME OFFICIAL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FAMILY?????? WHAT ABT SANGWOO’S DREAM OF HAVING A LIL JAEYOUNG AS A KID???????? i am in pieces aaaaaaa don’t do this to me i patiently waited for this to be completed aND THAT’S IT????
hathor gives off incredibly out-of touch, spoiled child who has never heard the word no said to them before energy and it’s making me lose my goddamn mind. i need this bitch to stop yapping or im gonna have a trip to the psych ward. she either needs to start growing a brain inside that stupid head of hers or be demoted into a human being bc at least that way she’ll grow old and die and i can live peacefully again.
girl u can’t even fix ur posture, let alone she li. he’s for the streets (he’s hot tho).
i love this couple holy shit <////3 they’re so blunt with each other, it’s refreshing. im super happy with Minchan’s personality. he’s a breath of fresh air, especially as an uke (he reminds me of Seth from Ennead—redheads reunite!). i love the ML, too. they’re such a funny pair i can’t wait to see them in love.
Seth is so unbelievably funny and he doesn’t even try. he’s like a comic relief in his own manhwa, it’s kinda iconic.
also, eww, Hathor. idk why she is Ra’s favorite offspring when she’s like that. i can’t believe a child of Ra would come out that stupid.

im sick of the fan service. iirc, somebody already cleared up (i think it was the translator) that this is not a bl manhua according to the author and basically it’s just fan service (im not sure about this information, i just read it in one of the notices i think or in the comments) so i thought it would just be a couple of the grown up scenes but the story would revolve around the father-son dynamic overall.
i can distinctively remember when that one chapter where the main characters were gender bent into women was released and everybody was uncomfortable about it bc of the blatant sexual energy between the two but suddenly when it’s BL, a lot of the readers magically don’t find the dynamic creepy. it’s creepy. it’s weird to root for a romantic dynamic between an adoptive father and an adopted son. it’s weird to have sexual fantasies of your father as a grown up. and the fact that we have several chapters of context into their relationship and dynamic when the orange-haired dude was still a literal toddler, idk why a lot of u have a hard time finding this weird and uncomfortable. i can’t believe i still have to do this but imagine if this is a father-daughter relationship—there would be essays in the comments (like mine) dissecting and trashing the manhua and rightfully so. but since the main characters are both attractive (grown up version) guys, suddenly it doesn’t matter.
the age gap isn’t what’s concerning, it’s the fact that they met when one guy was a fully grown adult and the other was a child and have a father-son relationship with each other. if they met as adults, this wouldn’t be creepy. however, the older guy basically raised the orange-haired dude so wtf do u mean you “don’t mind that it’s BL”??? you can’t have a father-son relationship and a BL in the same goddamn couple, those two are mutually exclusive. this is why so many on queertwt and anitwt accuse fujoshis of sexualizing mlm relationships because some of you guys are perfectly fine with stuff like this (and even encourage it).
and it’s not just the fault of the audience, the author is equally weird for drawing the grown up chapters as well. this is weird and sexualizes an innocent, wholesome relationship. do u not see the pedophilic undertones of this (in the sense that, if in a parent-child relationship the child has sexual desires for their parent and we act like that’s okay and normal, it will become easier to accept a sexual/romantic relationship happening between the two, making us enablers of grooming/pedophilia. and it also makes pedos think that they can make a child fall in love with them, an adult. this is another needed conversation to be had but if you’ve ever read the discourse surrounding the book lolita, you’ll be familiar with this angle.)? now im not accusing the author of catering towards pedophiles obviously, but they should be mindful of what media they produce, especially content related to BL, a genre v misunderstood and hated by a lot of ppl bc of the negative connotations surrounding it.
idk why it’s taking this turn but Freud must be giggling in his grave rn.
PS: if u disagree with the main point of this comment, go argue with the wall. don’t justify your weird opinions to me. you’re not gonna make me change my mind. thanks.

i like how vulnerable the ML is. i also like how he’s childish and quite arrogant. not bc thats my type or smth but bc it makes sense for his character. he’s been trapped for however long years by the only person he trusted only to be released in a completely foreign world where, not only is his seoho not part of the world anymore, his title as a dokkaebi does not matter. everything around him changed and nobody but him cares. so i get why he’s very impatient. it also might just be part of his personality, being a prick and all, but the author rly knows how to balance the mood of the manhwa so the reader wouldn’t lose 100% of their interest in him and would root for the second ML instead. he’s been a comic relief majority of the time until now where we finally get to see his panic disorder.
and thats why, for the sake of the plot, i don’t want them to fuck unless it’s necessary for the MC to do so. i want them to talk. i want to hear the ML’s backstory. i want to see the MC’s shift in the way he perceives the ML.
i love this manhwa. i feel like i can talk abt it for hours on end lmao.
TLDR; i like the ML and i like his dynamic with the MC lol
