first before anyone misunderstands i loved this!! a lot! it's amazing.
second, the message of the story feels a bit all over the place to me because of mainly 2 things. I thought one of the messages was actually the idea of letting the past go and moving on, even though it is a story about reincarnation and being with your past love. Even forgiveness felt like a part of it as well, when taehyuk died in the past life and told Un to let it go, move on and live his life. Which is reiterated on the last chapter, of them moving on from the past etc (and is kind of represented by them meeting again in this life and not actually thinking they're each others mates and Un deciding to let his past go so he can stay with taehyuk before his memory came back).
All of this to say that when taehyuk gets his memories back he decides to cut ties with his brother? which I don't understand, especially when one of the themes is supposed to be letting the past go. and when his brother actually did understand what he did wrong, repented and changed his behavior accordingly. Yeah Taehyuk got his memories back, but what about the memories of this life with his brother, do they not mean anything? It felt like an odd choice. Again not a grievance against the story I just don't necessarily get it nor understand it.
And then the dude who kidnapped him, I know horrible dude, abhorrent dude. Did he not suffer enough tho? Like I actually thought taehyuk was going to tell Un to let it go. To lift the curse, the past is the past, and they're together again. The guy has suffered enough, when taehyuk even told Un to not get revenge in the first place. So again it felt odd that it ended the way it did. The guy going to jail and probably going to keep reliving the torture of his reincarnation.
Idk i'm gonna shut the fuck up now lol just some thoughts I had swirling around after binging this.

ngl girl if ur tryna find deep resonant themes and coherent life messages in fluffy smut yaois then i don’t think ur looking in the right placeespecially since most yaois are straight up brainrot porn and this yaoi is even considered to be on the higher end in terms of quality and storymaybe consult your local library instead

What? This is such a silly reply Im sorry. Trust me, I dont go around reading yaoi and trying to find deeper themes. And its silly that you think that just because a story is yaoi it its a manga/webtook it cannot have deeper themes. It can. Dont tell me to read books to find those, plenty of books are bad at that too. Dont take out of this story meaning just because you personally think its meaningless. Especially since i said I loved it and wasnt complaining. Feel free to find meaning in stories, live your life

i think you misinterpreted my comment. of course nobody is stopping you from finding meaning in stories, but i think you are holding this yaoi’s theme delivery to a much higher standard than it should be. the whole point of your original comment is that you were saying that the “messages” in this story were contradictory, and my point is that i don’t think the author wrote and drew this yaoi with the intention of maintaining consistent philosophical themes for the audience to take awayand like i said, i even think that despite that, this story is still on the higher quality side compared to most, not all, but most yaois out there that are purely for brainrot money-grab porn purposes like idk jinx for example. which is why i would not personally look to smut yaois to be the subject of my philosophical analyses but to each their own

ok i get that! and that's a fair point. I can't know if the writer put a lot of thought into the themes of this story or not, but that's why I'm not mad about it and was just pointing out something I noticed. And also even irl people can be contradictory as well, I just couldn't understand why you'd be so against me just...writing out some thoughts when I wasn't bashing the story at all lol
And I do still think it's slightly silly that you think a story cannot have a message or a theme because it's a yaoi. A story is a story, no matter the medium you're reading it through. I'm also not against the brainrot porn either haha sometimes you're in the mood to read different stuff, and that's fine.
It's ok if you don't connect with a story deeply enough to personally do philosophical analyses, no one has to do them about any story at all, and I don't usually go out of my way to do them either. But I saw a running theme, and just wanted to write it out because I personally didn't understand why some things happened the way they did, because I thought they were going to go a different way. I don't even think I did much of an analysis at all lol
yeah to each their own! just didn't understand why this comment warranted you to be upset about people...getting some meaning out of a story, just because it's yaoi! Thank you for this reply and I do apologize if my own reply felt mean in any way, I didn't mean it that way, have a wondergul day!
but did he not go to school with him so he could jack off in the bathroom? is that why he was late? xD like that's the first thing that came to mind lol
Why does everyone make everything so dirtyyyyy lol he went to look for his bagtag cuz he noticed it was missing come on
in my defense it was after midnight, and portugal spent the whole day without electricity and i drank almost a whole bottle of rosé by myself at dinner soooooo
i'm kidding with those excuses askjdsdff but that's actually adorable!!!! i love that, thanks for telling me 'cause my brain really wasn't functioning properly lol and i did not notice!!!
I can’t even blame u to come up with this cuz I’ve seen a couple mangas that did that
thank you it's kinda shocking that 16 ppl disliked the comment but also really fucking funny LOL but at least you understand my struggles
