Seriously man if I had a dollar for everytime one of these stoic, robot types get brought up in BL, I'd probably have enough money to get something at McDonald's by now. They're described in a way that's almost entirely autistic coded yet it's treated as a quirky archetype. They need to stop and give these characters proper diagnoses at some point to do it justice, especially when I get attached to every single one of them.
Bro do you live in Asia? I swear no one gets diagnosed for mental disorders or illnesses. You'll hear about their diagnosis if they kill someone, and even then only if they are well off. People will just be like " yeah that's bobby he's a bit weird, don't be alone with him"
Yeah, I'm aware I live there. So what? That doesn't excuse them of ignorance. The same korea made extraordinary attorney woo, a pretty decent representation of autism. If someone had the sense to do that with kdrama, someone should have the sense to do that in manhwa as well.
You’re asking too much lmao
I'm saying that even in real life, people here don't get diagnosed unless they do something truly terrible. Why wouldn't that reality be reflected in art as well?
No, I'm not.
Yeah, cool I'm well aware of that. Yet, some people are aware of diagnoses and shit so it's about time they get proper representation. I can't really do shit about the authors being ignorant and I'm not really coming at them with pitchforks for doing it this way, I understand why it's the way it is. But, it's about time SOMEONE properly did it and I was simply verbalising that thought.
Yes you are. Why are you expecting a manhwa author whos chasing deadline and i dont even think they’re being paid handsomely for that to cater to you? And why are you reading at this free site instead of reading this manhwa on the paid side?? You’re reading their content illegally, dont even contribute to the author’s profit and act all mighty. I might say that the author can do wtv they want lol
lmfao catering to me? This ain't catering to anybody, this is simply ignorance that I noticed and verbalized. Did I say anywhere that I wanted this particular author to change the plot for me? read my comment again if you have comprehension issues. I said its about time SOMEONE did it properly, not this one. People are allowed to criticize the media they consume, infact that's pretty important as media literacy and critical thinking is on the declne. I'm not gonna mindlessly consume like you're suggesting. Also, don't even get me started on that half baked arguement about piracy bruh, y'all don't know swhat you're talking about and i'm not gonna essay rant about capitalism on the manga website. Peace. Also, nice assumption that I do not contribute to the profits of the stories I like on their platforms.
Yes I agree on this lol ESPECIALLY in Asia. Most of the people who did get diagnosed are hella privileged too, usually, and well in these kinda story, it's really often that the author just portray stuff based on their own living experiences, it's not that hard to understand
You're so real for this like why they getting so pressed
This is awesome, love that there's some plot too and that side characters are pretty decent. I really hope they're vers, there needs to be atleast one manhwa that also has a decent plot containing vers characters.
I thought this was going to be another irrationally possessive typical lame asf BL. But they have perception skills? They gauge each others feelings pretty decently even though they don't exactly communicate? They're acting crazy but they're self aware that it's crazy and they're aware of what normalcy looks like? What is this, is this heaven? God I love them both so much.
Even halfway through i was frustrated with him being a 17 year old. I mean they could've made him 19 or 20 and it still would essentially be the same story but somehow magic happened towards the end and this manga made me completely fall in love with it despite all that. There is literally so much crazy shit going on that if it was another manga, it would've been way too over the top and unbelievable. But here, somehow everything is handled so good despite the crazy shenaningans. The author really knows just what type of crazy shit to bring up so that it tugs on your heartstrings and tearducts istg. It's just magic. The characters all have over the top crazy backstories but are all handled so well gosh i love it. I loved the side character romances too maybe even more than the main ones, they made me cry out of wholesomeness.
I already read this authors work of that married couple who's awkward with each other on reddit and holy shit, this mangaka is really really good with wholesome adult relationships. Love it, truly.
I can see why people like this so much but I've been putting this off for so long that when reading it, i feel like should've just kept it on my tbr instead of reading. Like fine whatever, its cute and all but like what do these people have against abortion istg. Romance manhwa is my safe space, i don't want to see the same RW narrative here too. Abortion is not immoral, pro choice always, I'm glad that the FMC here wants to keep it and is happy with that but I hate how they're subtly making abortion to be this immoral thing.
I know what you mean! Each time they talk about abortion it's always in a negative way. But I think that's okay because we just see the point of view of the mc and she wants to keep the baby ... so what i mean is they don't say don't do abortion but just she really wants the baby even tho she really didn't want the husband with it at first !
And the doctor at the obgyn was really rude ! Like be a bit tender with the subject !
It's funny how even in his past life and here MC is the one who's getting all the main fame and the rest are only getting the scraps of the fame. Yet, this is so enjoyable i love it. They've finally done a power fantasy that doesn't get old.
Just pure fluff, im glad for them. Non problematic besties, literally a huge marshmallow.
I finished it. It's ofcourse a wholesome ending, both seem to know each other's head better now due to ~communication~ but I would've loved to actually see that. All this tension, all this obsession, I'd have loved to see all that come to a crescendo and have jung see it all laid before him. Yknow a passionate convo where he sees just how much he mattered to soohyun. But oh well whatever, it was fine i suppose. Im gonna go read fanfiction now to get my fix of that :/
yes, minseok,… he’s so hot fr
I'm just at ch 3 but I NEED to say shit. Taking the rose glasses off, this dude is just a plain ol creeper. Imagine not even peaking in high school yet still being obsessed with someone who you think doesn't give two shits about you, lame AND creepy. Also seriously? Lmfao he got a job as a reporter switching from COPRORATE just like that? Who's this guy lol
But keeping the rose glasses on, it's also kinda aww. He met this man he's been silently obsessed with and he doesn't even recognise him? Heart breaks for pookie. I like that silent pining. Ofcourse it's obsessive hate for now but so what? Mans lives rent free in his entire head for this not to be deeper than that.
Ch 5 now, seriously? Rape????? Here?? I was promised a rivals to lovers not rape bruh :(
Ch 19: Seohyun is so cockroachy man. I tried so hard to see him as poor little bub who had his crush reject him but his ew is way more overpowering than that. He's sleazyyyy like broo? You're jealous over SA that happened in a sex cult ring thing? Bro get a life please.
No, literally, barely anyone is talking about it either
spoiler: there is more later on... (like about 4 but it's not from eunsung)
Yeah I don't think I'm going to continue reading this
dw i will try to check out the r@pe chapters
don't read:
chapter 75-77(?)
I'll try to remember like the rest wait
I already finished the whole thing lmao. It was an.... interesting experience if was being generous.
I HATE THEM SO MUCH WHY ARE THEY SO SWEET UGHHHHHSH. They're at the end of highschool too and are leading such a sweet life. its everything one could ever want and it sucks to know that my days of that teenage life are completely over. These two triggered my sorrow of growing up by being just so goddamn sweet.
