I’d like to thank Mingwa for giving Joo a different hairstyle and for giving him black eyeliner (dark circles diminishing really) bc it looks so good on him
Joo Jaekyung hasn’t changed a single bit despite all this time away from Kim Dan
How can he be forgiven that easily?? I understand that he loves him but shouldn’t be have him begging for forgiveness since you know Inseob is even giving him the chance to be forgiven??
Jaekyung hasn’t suffered enough but Dan certainly has, so I see why they reunited when they did (it seems like at least a month has gone by?). That being said, I don’t think Jaekyung’s suffering will end here, if anything it’s just going to change form bc Dan doesn’t want to go back to Seoul for reasons mainly unrelated to Jaekyung. Jaekyung knows he needs Dan but Dan actually doesn’t need him bc Dan’s issue right now isn’t Jaekyung, it’s an internal issue with self love & knowing how to balance work with life battling against wanting to be there for someone that has been there for him his whole life & fearing the thought of being alone. Jaekyung also has an internal issue he needs to solve but if he wants Dan to be there for him the way Jaekyung needs him to be (in more ways than one), Jaekyung is going to have to help Dan out and no not with money like he usually does. But that means Jaekyung needs to be able to address emotions without getting angry.
But god knows how long that shit is going to take bc Jaekyung would rather watch paint dry than talk about his own emotions or traumas.
And my dumbass will be here waiting for that to happen bc I love suffering ig
Thank goodness he arrived when he did but I wanna know who snitched and why
Wonder if they’ll keep their lips sealed out of loyalty for Dan but they’ll end up giving in once they see how much Jaekyung is suffering and once they see Jaekyung’s made progress. My money is on Heeseung being the one to tell Jaekyung.
I wonder if Jaekyung happens to be from that same small town and that’s how he’ll undergo his characters development. Fingers crossed.
First of all how about he undergoes some character development before he goes looking for him bc atp Dan is only going to get hurt further.
And talk? Talk about what? Bringing him back onto the team depsite everything he’s done? Jaekyung bouta get humbled when Dan tells him it’s more than him having doubted him during the last match.
The way the dad bends over backwards and jumps through hoops in order to refuse taking responsibility for why Cirrus is the way he is. Denial is a river in Egypt.
Personally excited for Joo Jaekyung’s childhood story and him improving, but who knows how far off that will be
Fargo really thought we wouldn’t notice how good the art has gotten as if the art wasn’t already amazing since If You Hate Me So.
I completely forgot that Fargo had expressed interest in doing a spin off focusing on Byul’s story as a young adult. It took years but we’re finally here, ahh the nostalgia is real yall. If You Hate Me So and Love is an Illusion were some of the first BL works I liked in high school when I started getting into manhwas/webtoons back in 2017/2018. Crazy how fast time flies.
I took 2ish hours to reread Love is an Illusion and The Queen to refresh my memory and catch up on the lore bc I forgot quite a bit of the story in all honesty. If anyone is interested, Siwoo’s and Byul’s first and only mention as a duo in the core works was ch 5 in Love is an Illusion: The Queen.
I can’t believe that I was waiting adamantly for the official translation due to the unofficial one being awful, only to find out that the official translation has such cringe dialogue??? The fck?
I’ll keep reading tho bc I’m hoping their relationship will become healthier, Yoonwon will get help, and Won Dae will come to love himself. But that’s a long shot bc I know damn well how these depraved manhwas turn out.
When I heard these two were from Save the Dae, I thought the blonde one was Won Dae’s blonde friend Yeonhoo, I didn’t realize these two were Yoonwon’s brothers. I thought Yoonwon was fcked up (I do feel rlly bad for him but that doesn’t excuse his behavior or personality), but his older and young brothers take the cake.
Regarding both Spilled Blood and Save the Dae:
Art is gorgeous, the plot could have more substance (Yoonwon’s and Won Dae’s personalities don’t seem consistent at all), and the dialogue gets incredibly cringe.
An absolute shame that if the Goo’s parents actually loved each other and gave their kids a quality childhood and had the step-brother’s blood family done the same for him, none of this fcked up shit would’ve happened.
Author needs some major therapy bc it takes a certain kind of fcked up to think up these kinds of stories. I need to read something normal and cute to cleanse my eyes and mind bc Jesus Christ.
Cute but didn’t expect it to be this short . But at least they get a happy ending.
Looking forward to more works from this author/artist.
Art is gorgeous and they’re both pretty as hell but I wish there would’ve been some build up/premise to them fucking? I wish we would’ve started back with his childhood story or smth showing how he got to know his family serves a deity and this moment right now would be 30-50 chs in or smth. I like substance to my bls, not just the spicy stuff. I hope the author has more plot in store for us.
The premise to them sleeping together should’ve been different to make it make sense. It doesn’t make sense for the god to do this now after the shaman living such a life for years now. Great art and dialogue though. I’m looking forward to see how the story unfolds.
The art reminds me a bit of that one webtoon scorching romance, especially the funny faces lol. I’m adding to my list.
