I didn't really understand what happened between the panels where Jaeshin and Nok saw (or heard?) some kind of threatening event (which mobilized the guards) and the panels right after, where they were both playful and clueless as if nothing happened oO Like why in earth didn't Jaeshin take that threat seriously? I thought he saw the old man then but it seems he didn't saw him until he attacked Nok. In that case what did they saw and what were they saying during the playful time? Anybody can read Korean? :(

Methinks, Jaeshin didn't notice any danger back than. He just wanted to break free from the guards, as they were following them all the time. The guards are stressed bc they've lost the crown prince.
A moment later it's continuation ab the earrings. Nok wanted to buy him another one 'cause the other pair was broken. And Jaeshin picked a pair there.
Nok vocalised his heart feels relieved, that everything bad is over, but empty at the same time (we understand such feelings perfectly now ;___;). He's also lost at what he should do from now on, but since Jaeshin is by his side, he believes he can go through any circumstances, whether good or bad.
And Jaeshin confirms he's right next to him (yeah right, a second later he goes to talk to the messangers, leaving Nok all alone - as he had taken him from the guards...).
All you gotta focus on is Nok getting hurt.
Thank you dear Vae
yes!! while reading the raws i have thought about this too bcs they were like the happiest in one moment and then the next thing yk but i feel like jaeshin have let himself distracted and let his guard down at that particular moment (can't blame him tho) and once you start thinking on that direction its just so heartbreaking :((
Anybody knows when S2 is released? I feel like it's been ages. Miss them so much:((((
I haven't read this BL in ages. Why the art changed so much? Did the artist got replaced or something? I can barely recognize Yoohan :// He used to look so gorgeous with sharp features. Even the drawing style is less sophisticated. I am confused oO
Nah same artist, and as someone who draws, art styles change all the time bit by bit when new inspirations and references come about. I think in this case it’s been a while since the main story finished so the artist style has already changed to how they prefer to draw now. Also I kind of interpret yoohan softer looks as a part of his character development where revenge isn’t his reality anymore so he’s softened up, and I bet fed pretty well too during recovery.
To add on to this, I think the side story art style is more similar to the artists old work and is her preferred way of drawing. In my opinion, payback was actually kind of the odd one out of her entire art discography. There’s also the fact that Payback has been serialized for 4 years (yes it’s been that long), it would be weirder if the art style didn’t change in a span of close to half a decade.
Bro atp my art style changes every time I draw smth
Thanks for the insights! It does make sense although it's mainly Yoohan features and not the director (seme). The drawing style also changed a bit which you explained why. However I believe this artist may have succumbed as well to the trend of uke's twinification. It's happening to most of the BL I read and it drives me crazy :/// All of a sudden uke starts looking younger, slimmer and lose their sharp facial features. It's just sad at this point :/
I see where you are coming from because I’ve noticed that too. It’s just that in comparison to other series, the change in Yoohan’s looks wasn’t as drastic, though I suppose still noticeable to a certain extent.
Ngl, maybe I’m fine with it because I’m already used the artist’s original way of drawing characters more twink like, with payback being the first time she didn’t do so.
My theory is that since the artist is definitely an avid reader of bl manhwa’s as well, it wouldn’t be surprising that it eventually influenced her and other artists to go back to the way she drew certain types men (yoohan in this case where he’s the uke since in past works the artists uke were always twink like).
They're so hot together I just can't handle it xD I can't believe Jake finally opened up about his feelings ("Two is better than 1. I finally have a partner") but Shin is not reciprocating. Like wth?!? He still wants to make Jake marinate and it's killing me. Just get together for God's sake and then have like 3-4 chapters-long of steamy sex. Please!
Well he did admit he’d be lying if he said wasn’t worried about him, so I don’t think it was completely one-sided.
Definitely not but I was expecting him to give up on his attitude (although totally justified) and accepting Jake confession. Not gonna lie, the fact Shin is still resisting a bit make their dynamic more thrilling and it increases the tension but still, it's been like this for too many chapters. We need them to form the crazy spicy duo they're capable off and go hit the road, kill gangsters and enjoy life :)))
Still cannot believe most of this season is gonna be like this. Can we skip to next season please? What's the point really? We already had them fighting and hating each other in S1. It just makes the redemption arc less and less convincing. I can't imagine a single thing or vent that will make Yeonjo forget or forgive him. Even if seme gives his own life for Yeonjo... I hope the author will surprise us positively
All of you upset about Jaehuyk ignoring the concept of bisexuality forget how much of an extreme the guy is He’s not the type to do things halfway. He’s all in—heart, mind, and energy. There’s just no middle for him. Moderation simply isn't his nature. Same thing when he was a despicable homophobe. He was the worst lol
This! The end/
This BL turned dark and depressing quite much. They can't catch a break. Even the beautiful art has changed. It's like the magic is gone. I don't even know why I stick to it...
What does twink mean and why you're all saying SY turned into that? Can someone please explain *-*
a young, attractive gay man
noun. Slang. a young, attractive gay man with a slim, boyish appearance
its cause he was more thicc and chunkier before but now hes slimmed down
I see! Thanks guys :)))
yw x
Garam and his karate skills lol I wasn't expecting less from him. Feisty Garam is my favorite version of him Too bad the police got involved tho. This cannot end well. Especially if Jaehuyk's parents get to hear about it. Him mom will freak out big time :/
Something about the ending seemed a bit off. I tried to Google translate and it seems like the police are blaming Garam. Correct me if I’m wrong, please.
No update this week?! :,( Is the author still injured or is it the hiatus week?
The artist is injured, not the author. Next chapter will be uploaded on 06/05
In the raws, that is. Idk when this is getting updated.
Thanks for the info!
