Sadistic Beauty BL Sidestory

Complete | Lee Geumsan | 2000 released

automatic one star for obvious reasons, it is not a story about good characters and actively depicts rape but i feel like i have to finish this whole series to be rid of it. the only good thing to come out of this entire series was the gl spinoff with gyerin and jooyeong because the characters weren't insufferable and the sex was actually good and CONSENSUAL. and at the very least the main story had more to it than just bad sex. they at least threw in some consensual shit. none of THIS is. it's just pure porn of one dude manipulating the other into a situation where he can continuously force himself on the other. it's not psychological either, like killing stalking, it's listed as BL. it's insulting. edit: looking at the main story vs the gl side vs the bl side i feel like the way this was written was intentional?? like it was set up to be a shitty story about a shitty situation & shitty characters. but then why not just list it as psychological in the tags.. the main one i understand not doing that and putting it as adult or something, but this one is so much more suited for psych? it doesnt seem to be completely glorified except mayybee at the end so i feel like the author knew what they were doing and wanted to write a story like this without making the relationship seem good bc till the end we saw that minho was miserable and stuck with him out of convenience or pity or something. idk. if it was psychological this wouldve been a good story but its not!!! so keeping the one star
