i'm so disappointed in author-nim cuz there's literally NO reason to expand on the sexual assault blackmail. why make Taeyoung suffer?
this is one of the rare times i'm upset that the victim didn't speak up on the situation and ask for help***. Daewoo didn't put a tracker on Taeyoung, he was not monitoring his movements, etc so why was he hesitant on telling Ohoon/Oh-Heun? god it's just so unnecessary...

***note: i would NEVER do this to SA victims in real life cuz it's obviously much more complex than a webtoon. just to be clear.

i totally agree, irl and fiction are COMPLETELY different. so it’s totally fine speaking on this, i think ur completely right. Taeyoung wasn’t even getting held captive, everytime after practice and stuff they’d be doing the deed at daewoo’s house. And the fact the didn’t say anything for 6 months then decided to speak up on it on his award ceremony on tv. Oh heun had no idea that this had happened because tae didn’t speak on it, COMMUNICATION IS KEY PPL. Dae was sending text messages bc eventually he got videos of them, but if he decided to just leave the first time, he could’ve reported and that’s it. before the massive time skip, he got enough proof but let the issue drag on, that’s why i don’t like tae at all and oh heun deserves better. like the blackmail was so weak bc ppl ended up figuring out that tae and oh heun were dating at the END of the story so there black mail meant nothing. He basically cheated in my eyes and i don’t accept that. No one was endanger even if ppl found out that they were together it wouldn’t mean anything but tae still decided to have intercourse with him and much more for 6 months. At first i was horrified but he had so many chances so why would he wait and basically have regular relations with him. Honestly the worst bl i’ve ever read, bc rape is gross and the uke was completely ridiculous throughout the whole story, i seriously do not condone cheating whatsoever and in this case the black mail was pretty weak. Sorry for the long rant but i just felt like i had a lot to unpack considering how dumb the last 11 chapters of this story was.

i totally agree with you! i'm so angry cuz author-nim essentially "handed over" the victim to the assaulter by letting Taeyoung do nothing
i've read several webtoons by other authors with blackmail in them, but they ACTUALLY make the blackmail inescapable—you can sense the hopelessness of the situation. this one was very weak like you said, and poorly written
i mean, it's still traumatic whether he did or not, but i want to know if Oh Heun was able to some something, how ever little, from happening.
