I half expected his past to be like this and i hate that im right. Yes people like this exist, they look down on those who didnt manage to climb out of the struggles they worked hard to escape out of. And im half expecting that his temper is hereditary from his father and also picked it up from his trainer. This is a character thats influenced from his surroundings, yes boohoo its sad you went through that but it doesnt change the fact that hes a fuckwad and thats fine, im actually kinda happy with how consistent his bastard of an attitude is and how its not derived from “looking cool or im a really stone cold ML” shit but because his temper is a bit logical?? Like he gives a great shit about his career all the time and it never swayed, not even for kim dan.
Also yes they have a similar background (being poor) but different struggles and opportunities.
Jaekyung - physical abuse, verbal abuse, starvation, bullying and whatever else we saw. (Temper issues and obsession)
Kim Dan - Starved, bullying, sexual assault and etc. (drinking addiction and sleep walking)
But kim dan had his grandma, who took care of him for a long time so he had someone to depend on emotionally while Jjk did spend time with the trainer and the grandma but how far? He did just leave for Seoul and never contacted them.

I already know, let me guess.
Hes got 3rd (bronze) place in the photo, hes the skinniest and shortest kid in there, he looks the most beat up, not like we saw the other kids faces well. Youre gonna give me a past where he swears to himself to always become a winner and gets obsessed over it due to what? Bullying? Pressure from family? Wanting to be strong for someone? Or just sheer passion for wanting to be a fighter? If were including a bastard like baek junmin from his past thats associated with gangsters now then it could be bullying or his family was a victim of loan sharks but he knows junmin well so its either a classmate(bully), gangsters(he mightve took part) or a fellow trainee as a rookie boxer.

I know how people were unsatisfied with the previous chapters since they werent seen doing the boombayah but imagine the long run of this.
Mincheol thinks shes a victim cause she was being blackmailed and hurt by loan sharks.
He will start caring again because obv he still does but hes still a bastard (he might break up with girly or cheat on her as well).
He will run to Haesoo the moment he finds her and shes just gonna be always on Taehas side and absolutely shes gonna be fucking pissed because of what he did to him.
Id rather she’s the one to start the fight because shes defending Taeha or herself rather than the possibility of her feeling guilty and shame from getting caught doing the deed. Even if theyre apart and mincheol cheated, he will find a way to make her think its her fault that they broke apart and use that situation to manipulate her.

God i know right, like kudos to the artists and all, they can take their time but honestly its a story where i already know whats gonna happen in the end but it keeps dragging out like its literally a typical wife got cheated on and new rich guy treat her better story. Just bores me but i read cause i like seeing cheaters get wrecked on.

This. He made her feel undesirable, unwanted and insignificant but knowing that someone you belittled before isn't scared of you, doesn't acknowledge you and actually paint you as a bad guy instead of getting scared, yeah that would destroy him because he knows, there was once a time where she would defend him to hell and back, stand by him. He's gonna be hit where it hurts the most, her hating him and seeing him for who he really is.

As far as i remember, teach had a mom that was in a wheelchair and a dad. (he was in a photo frame but the frame was destroyed where instead of breaking due to natural disasters, it was smashed specifically where his fathers face was).
We know nothing about our mc’s life, he couldve killed both of his parents with how hes always strangling someone in his sleep or it could only be his father. Were not sure if his dad is really dead, guwon arrived at his house with him just in the middle of the room with fresh blood on his head bandages and nobody else. Theres a possibility that guwon mightve really killed his dad to save him or his dad ran away with how his home isnt that badly broken, its not caved in so the possibility that he might be dead from the natural disasters is low but never zero.

First time we saw teach he had a head injury, you guys think perhaps his father tried to kill him? Hit his head with a bat or something? And as for guwon, i dont even think hes in love with teach, i feel like hes just addicted to the pleasure of sex or his kindness. I mean there might be small signs of affection there because of how considerate and sweet teach has been to him unlike the other people but hes been really addicted ever since they fucked, i mean i get it ive seen many sex addictions from those who experienced it the first time as an adult.
Those who are shitting on our MC for being sus of guwon or being hard on him because guwon saved him, he just saw a person get killed by the person he has feelings for. A father of a kid he teaches and watches over just died, our mc is a morally right character that cares a lot for others, and thats amazing. Im so fucking tired of supposed “civilian normal kind characters” that condone or ignore their romantic interests immoral actions just because theyre “mafia” or some shit.

I literally went through the 10 stages of grief and a seizure just with the first chapter.
Almost gets graped (NO)
He escapes (YAY)
Guy could be dead and he could go to jail (YAY AND NO)
Tries to kermit sewerslide (NO)
Gets saved (YAY)
Gets assaulted again (NO)
Walks away to rich friend’s house which is obviously the second male lead (OKAY?)
Meets assaulter again, but you’re chill with him cause he saved you for some reason (Seizure*)
I thought the brother was gonna be horrible-horrible but the moment he coughed when our mc was attending to someone else to catch his attention made me laugh out loud. Dude loves his brother a lot, their sibling dynamic was relatable
