Backlight

Ongoing | Gangto | 2000 released

Woah okay so the main character (black hair) was a judo person but quit but in hs he had to mentor the top (blonde) but something happened so he left and now hes a manager (i think that the dead "brother" got in the way of their relationship) the top is a model and hangs out with the mc's idol which causes controversy and the top is into freaking bdsm oor something, something harsh they meet up and now he wants him as his manager --- I keep thinking about when they first met Seo said,” I’ve been a fan of yours”. After finishing season 1, I’m curious if there’s more to explore on this or was it just used for character build up. I say this because he handed YW the medal he threw after his match. Was he there as a spectator for friends, or was his step brother into judo? And that’s how he met him from the sidelines? BECAUSE…. Seo is an opportunist. We do see his capacity to be manipulative, but I think the “accidental” run in with the actor in Chp 1. gave him the opportunity to move things in his favor ( which, I think the actor is pretty manipulative because we know he set YW up to see him due to unrequited feelings). That being said, I’m curious if there was an opportunity to connect with YW through that mentor / buddy program. If he met YW because he went to support a friend or his step bro at a match, then I think the dialogue during the jump flash back supports this when the kids were dogging him about his background in judo. He also was seen with a sling in the final chapter flash back so if that was a broken arm or dislocated something that was pretty personal (duh) because he needs his arm for holds. Like that wasn’t just a warning, that was definitely the step brother being like, “ get the fuck away from my man.” I think the brother kiss flash back also showed that most likely the step brother initiated the kiss because he was gripping on Seo. Like, I think it’s been in the comments that it looked hella staged so YW WOULD see them. This then leads to Seo’s spiral once YW runs away. I think the scandal mentioned in the last chapter has a young Seo, I am willing to bet that pervy uncle had something to do with Seo being there. Like, him trying to comfort Seo by leading him straight into the lions den. This is one of the only BLs I’ve read where I’ve been more interested in the what got us here than the present story. I was underwhelmed with the finale because the present timeline seemed predictable, like of course they’d get to this point of boning and at least one of them owning their feelings like it was some big discovery that the guy in high school he messed around with he had true feelings for.

mc was already unstable so ML should have known better. Had he just communicated properly instead of being dismissive, perhaps all of this tragedy could have been avoided. It's evident that mc felt unwanted all his life.. and the one person he finally connected with ended up getting engaged without giving him an explanation or even acknowledging his feelings and concerns. I can only imagine the confusion and devastation he must have felt, given his existing mental and emotional state. I wish he'd just left and disappeared on him instead of harming himself.. but it's obvious that his sole purpose was to make ML miserable
