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.

""he had cut the legs of his own teacher" the comments: Damn jingi looks hot af with short hair" Heonjae is the worst out of the 3 MCs. Dude is psycho and delulu, he seems to fixate/imprint his love onto someone at first sight of kindness, and is the type of obsessive lover where if things don’t work out he’s gonna cut your legs and strap you to the bed so you can be together forever. Meanwhile Jingi always seems that he has some sense to him. In flashbacks he was a normal functioning member of society. I still HIGHLY suspect that his uncle is responsible for him ending up in jail and may have s*exually ab*used him as a child, given how he always tries to shield Myeong from the uncle. And the fact that he was su*icdal at one point proves to me that he was def a victim. In the flashback, baby Jingi visiting his mother in jail w their family picture was literally so precious, something traumatizing must’ve happened to him :((((
Night of the Unmarked
Comment: When MC was born there was a connection between MC and ML that ML felt and saw. Like a universe thing that showed ML he would watch MC grow up and filled him with a strong sense of protection, similar to a guardian person/spirit. If you visions of the future of a person you will probably feel drawn to them, kinda lest destiny. They also grew to close so naturally they would have some kind of relationship. When MC’s sister died ML was filled with both guilt and fear that made him even more over protective of MC and even more scare to lose him. He decided he would watch over him and keep him safe while ML lived a normal life. Then MC grew up and started to get to know other people and ML could not fully let him go realized the connection would always be there and that being apart would be extremely painful. When MC grew up ML was a natural part of his life, after his sister died they became even more like family. MC developed adoration and eventually affection from ML for taking care of him, possible like having a crush on someone older because they seem cool in their eyes. ML had always seen and treated MC like a kid. Until MC confessed, which also strengthened the feeling within ML that they were connected to each other through fate/the universe/whatever gave him the visions in the first place. ML opens up to MC, but MC is exposed to danger and ML prioritizes MC being safe and alive over them being together. Nonetheless, MC is now part of the other world now even if he doesn’t interact with ML so the best thing right now would probably be for them to be close again. Regarding the beginning where it was implied/hinted at that they went all the way we actually don’t know if they did. They haven’t talked about it in detail, MC doesn’t seem to remember everything, not have they done it ”again”. Although I do understand if it doesn’t matter to some people how far they went and that it is the fact that something happened that people are not comfortable with, which of course is okay. I’m also willing to be proven wrong on this point if we get some sort of evidence in the future. I understand that the age gap can be seen as sketchy and uncomfortable, especially since MC is just around legal, but it’s important to understand that ML has NOT been lusting over MC since he was a child, nor did he have some kind of plan to wait until MC became legal to make a move on him. MC initiated something further in their relationship and whether ML should’ve rejected him or not is something people can debate (I already explained my thoughts about ML’s approach. Basically is not the PDF some if yall choose to assume he is because of lack of understanding. Thank you.
