Oh baby ghost

Happy sigh.The reason I gave this a chance unlike a story like mmm let’s say Jinx, is because I can tolerate toxic behavior from non-human characters (or psychopaths like in the beast must die). Like I can accept that those characters operate under a completely different set of morals and values and not just because they’re a hot a rich dude with some sad sob story.

Like Jaeshin as ghost literally feeds when having sex with the crown prince, he can detects something unnoticeable to humans, the yin energy, and focuses to judge what the prince wants that rather than what the prince say, or when he explains that ghosts see everything cockeyed at the beginning and feel the urge to mess things up. On top of that he’s quite bad, even for a ghost. lol.

Anyway, yeah so rather than watching some guy act like human trash and then barely repent or something and end up with his victim, I rather watch a supernatural being learning about humanity. This chapter was so interesting. Jaeshin is truly conflicted, wrestling unknown feelings, yearning, fear, frustration, worry, and of course love. He doesn’t know what he wants and it’s somewhat endearing. Even his lack of empathy for the prince grieving is really well put together. He expresses his point of view as ghost and what they think of death. He doesn’t understand why the prince is sad, but he gets upset because he also doesn’t understand why he, himself feels upset at the thought of the prince dying because it defies his own logic. Meanwhile the prince is shocked by his lack humanity, highlighting the difference between the two. Love it!!!
