yeah maybe but i think it is what the author wanted to achieve. i also thought that this will be lovey dovey but bam they all need therapy T.T
but anw i love how their characters r just so complex and the problem isnt about one thing and not only about ‘third’ party or cheating (external)
and the way i can relate hard to hojin, i think the author depict his character so well
and yes there are things that still lingering to me and left me w questions that i cant describe it
but overall this series still good right
I finished it now, and I kind of changed my initial opinion a bit. As I said, I don't mind if things "make sense". If both parties are twisted and find their own "healthy dynamic". Whatever "healthy" means for them. As long as both can be themselves, feel loved for who they are and have their needs met without sacrificing their own self I don't mind. And it seems to be the case with these two. I dislike the physical abuse and how Hojin said once "This is how he shows his love it seems." after Yoosung beat him when he was worried/jealous. I hope that Yoosung stops physically abusing him and Hojin would stop thinking that him being physically abused by Yoosung is just a form of his love. I know Hojin would never even slap Yoosung in a fun way ya know like friends do on the shoulder, because he is to kind and cannot imagine hurting his loved one. But apart from this Hojin seems fulfilled now. I hope he can fulfil all his dreams and live a less empty life now that everything is settled. As in have freedom. Go in and out and maybe have follow his dreams somewhat. I also do like Yoosungs development, though it was subtle. He comes from a place where he was cut off from reality (of everyone else) that 'high up' and never really learned normal shit. Normal friendship, normal love, affection and normal socialising. So he was pretty good in that sense. Considering how good of a brother he was also. And he probably does have some mild antisocial personality spectrum disorder. So yeah. It ain't too bad. I hope we see some more extras from their real life about how healthy and freely they love and are themselves, now that the fucker of a grandfuck is gone.
this could have had potential to be nice and healing, but became so codependent and toxic. I am sad. Hojin is such an adorable person. Yoosung abused him way too much for me to forgive him. hhhhh damn...I can somewhat accept such relationships, if both parties are fucked up. Like if Hojin was also kind of a dark person with tendencies for bad shit crazy stuff. Like a bit twisted. But he is just depressed and looks like he is barely holding onto life. Empty. I wish he would be able to go to university, have friends, have a nice last few years of his 20s and be able to swim again and maybe even participate in small tournaments. Do things he loves and graduate and find a job he loves. Like finally heal ya know. And fill his emptiness. Because love with an external person alone won't do that. Hong
