i need the officials to come out cause it is trash --okay now it makes more sense I see complainers are still here to hurt themselves for literally no reason and tell us alllll about it. Anyway; I can't be the only one who realizes that the theme is moving for the bottom recovering from his fear and PTSD slowly. There is a clear power imbalance and it's not blackmail but "forced" meetups yes. (forced only in quotes because he would have to quit if he didn't do it and he doesn't want to quit). The bdsm isn't it, we KNOW it so very rarely is. It's not proper bdsm it's just kink with some protocol here and yeah the safeword thing was nooott okay. However everyone is crying for the bottom and yet the bottom I think is going to improve one way or another. Mentally, emotionally, ect. That's my prediction.like it or love it but stop reading if you're going to keep crying about the glaringly obvious nonconsensual theme that you went into knowing was nonconsensual. People are allowed to enjoy shady fictional things too. I don't get the uke. He literally finds pleasure and stress relief out of their sessions usually, so why does he suddenly think that "if he cared about me he wouldn't beat me"? It just seems to be a weird step backwards for them when they were getting along. Just because he told him he should work somewhere else?? Idk I'm confused. (Yes of course he should have stood up earlier, but I'm confused why he's doing it now I guess) (Obviously this isn't healthy but you people read this knowing it was "bdsm to keep your job" so you have literally no room crying like babies about toxicity and them breaking up when you know damn well it will work out for them because BL logic. That line icked me too.. I thought he finally understood what was happening between them from the start, that it's bdsm..but no. I think the uke is so vulnerable emotionally cause of its past trauma that any negative or sudden change pushes him to take extreme actions..like that scene from his parents and now this conflict. The ambiguity of their relationship also plays the part of this misunderstanding. So yeah its gonna be rocky ride from here

Backlight
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.
