Taesoo has a complicated relationship with his mother (she's awful) which is why he's distant with Chunwoo and keeping them as FWB. It's not that he doesn't love him, he can't do it openly which is what hurts them both.
Taesoo is a very pitiful character. Chunwoo loves Taesoo and that's why there needs to be a big change for him to let go of his friend and be open to Ho-In. Ho-In deserves better than someone who is in love with someone else.
True, now I'm rooting for them to work it out, Ho-in...just...I dunno, hear the other guy out I guess
My heartbreaks for Ho-In but I love him too much to let him to be a second choice. He's so sweet and he's all in and if Chunwoo sunbae isn't going to love him so much that he cries over him then he doesn't deserve Ho-In.
Yeah, I don't think chunwoo can forget taesoo that easily just bcoz ho-in is the opposite of taesoo
Taeyi has a right to be upset that he went through her things carelessly but she was harsh. She was also dismissive.
She's a succubus so she has to know the importance that people can attach to their first time and she's been chasing Hyesong all this time so she had to know that he wouldn't be okay with just sleeping together and kthanksbye. She used him and shut him down when her feelings were hurt. That's not okay. It's not okay when a guy does it, it's not okay when a girl does it.
Taeyi's pain isn't a reason to be cruel and given Hyesong's personality and that was what it was bordering on.
Obviously Taeyi's journey is to learn to open up and allow herself to love again but I hope she doesn't do some irreparable damage to Hyesong in the process.
We're all entitled to our pain but not to place it onto someone else.
If anyone thinks that anyone in this story is mentally stable they've got another thing coming.
In a realistic world, Sooyoung wouldn't be involved with either of them. But this is the universe that the author has created and he's had his sense knocked out of him more than once.
Sooyoung likes Taesung. It's a terrible choice but okay. Minhyuk needed to back off but he is trash of a different sort. If Sooyoung decides to forgive him (IDK if this could even happen) then we have to accept that too because that's the story set out before us.
Raging at the immorality of the story is extra stress you don't need.
Sooyoung may end up with Taesung but he is aware enough to know what that means if he makes that choice. Personally, I don't see it. Sooyoung is a strong person and Taesung will break sooner than he does.
TL; DR Support Sooyoung's choices, don't think about it too much.
But if he's being manipulated, is it really his choice?
Sooyoung knows that Taesung isn't being straight with him, that he's lying about certain things so he isn't as naive as some people assume. I think Sooyoung's choice will ultimately be will he tolerate the way that Taesung is and the path that their relationship is on. And I don't think Sooyoung will accept Taesung as he is now. The moment he finds out that Taesung incidently or not killed his uncle that's their crash point. Sooyoung is a lot of things but he still has his pride and he wouldn't tolerate Taesung trying to sweep that away. You know?
Kyuho being pushy is literally the plot. If Kangha doesn't want the company, Seunghyun gets it, the end.
Yeah, he shouldn't push Kangha but this isn't a negotiable plot point; this is how the two couples meet. Plus I think Kangha and Seunghyun teaming up is going to be extraordinary. They need friends outside of their relationships.
I remember when I first started reading the series and I was like fu Jaehan, fall in love with Heegyeom and get wrekt. Now it's true but he's so pitiable.
He truly is a symbol of growth but whether or not he deserves forgiveness isn't for us to decide.
Why Heegyeom? Why sleep with Jaehan? That's what bugs me.
Same here. Jaehan was asshole and fucked up. But i guess now is his redemption moment. He's pitiful
Heegyeom owes a piece of Jaehan now. He can hurt someone who has done terrible things to other people and it's a question of is Heegyeom that type of person? Maybe he wasn't until he realised what Jaehan did.
Part of me hopes Heegyeom has real feelings for Jaehan but the truth is, in reality, Jaehan shouldn't be forgiven. Jaehan destroyed Heegyeom's dreams and messed with his life and for what? Because Jaehan couldn't recognised that he liked him?
But then Heegyeom took advantage of Jaehan that night all those years ago. Jaehan never knew who touched him and that must have been awful. To have a memory of a faceless stranger doing things to you when you were intoxicated. Heegyeom isn't flawless in this scenario. Maybe they'll realised they're perfect f**k ups together.
*owns
Wait a minute..... Heegyeom took advantage on Jaehan few years ago???? What did he do? I don't see it except the drug case
In chapter 2, Heegyeom tells Jaehan that he's sorry that he slept with Jaehan while he was out of it. Jaehan doesn't really remember what happened (he was high and Heegyeom gave him something else) but it also concided with his inability to sleep.
Accidents are traumatic and they can drive peoples anxieties etc. but that boy needs therapy.
His behaviour has me really not want to read the story because I didn't start reading this story for Suha to trade one toxic boyfriend for another. Time to reinvent your glow up, Jiwoon because you used to be someone worthy of rooting for.
Taesung pushes Sooyoung to his limits and Sooyoung likes that. He has previously gone to Taesung to have sex because he knows that if they do, it will empty his mind because it's so overpowering. And some people are into that.
It isn't traditional in our view of sex so I get the discomfort. But I think part of that is because we know about Taesung's manipulations and past and Sooyoung doesn't. He's just having a lot of powerful sex with someone he's slowly learning to like and maybe fall in love with. He's jealous when Taesung smiles at other people. He wants to know where Taesung got his scars. He likes Taesung and he isn't sure how to feel about that because he doesn't really know how Taesung feels.
I also think the author's art style has changed a bit. The lines are harsher/rougher compared to a few months back. Like they've been drawn more aggressively and it just builds into our opinion of what's going on.
Sooyoung is still Sooyoung. He could right cross Taesung straight in the face if he was doing something he didn't want like he did his ex. I think part of the story is Sooyoung learning to let go and be powerless. He doesn't have to fight every battle.
I mean, these are just my thoughts and I coul be completely wrong but I just get the feeling that Sooyoung likes what he's doing with Taesung and the truth is going to blow this all out of the water.
Doyoon has unresolved issues relating to when he was sexually assaulted and almost gang r*ped. I think it showed him that he has a predilection for voyeurism, which in a consenting situation isn't an issue.
How he consensually gets his rocks off is no one's business. Obviously it has shown up as a problem at work so he needs to consider that but ultimately if he wants to and accepts that risk that's his business.
THISSSSSSSSSSS Immaculate evaluation
I think the author is showing really well how sexual assault and trauma resurge as intrusive thoughts.
Sexual assault often leads to over sexualisation by the victim. They're trying to either replace what was done to them with new memories or to validate their feelings of worthlessness with multiple degrading sex partners.
Sexual trauma appears in many different ways and a lot of the time, people are just left to get on with it and deal with it on their own. They blame themselves and they have to carry on as if they're not falling apart because the world doesn't care that they are.
Author-nim is doing a really good job. It's utterly heartbreaking.
I was trying to find a comment like yours since i cant put my thoughts into words properly but you nailed it i think the Autor really does a great job
I think Chisoo is good to Kangjin but how good he'll be when he realises that Kangjin's feelings for Jungkwon are coming back (if they ever really left). He doesn't strike me as a person who just lets go.
But as far as not the main couples couples/second leads go, he and his relationship with Kangjin and how much Kangjin relies on him is up there.
I'm sure they'd have been happy if Jun never came back into his life. But Kangjin is at heart a soft boy and I think part of him never grew up from their love. It's always been a pain that he could never quite shift because despite it all, he still loves Jun. Even if he doesn't want to.
