No one wants a saint. There 1 million ways to make a character flawed and antagonistic with having him rape his future love interest repeatedly cause he can. I ve seen rape in alot of different series but this guy is a rapist first and foremost. A shame cause the rest of the plot and chemistry is good

it was an analogy. i agree for most of the yaoi with rape which is unnecessary, like the story could progress even without it. but this one can't do, it has a lot to do with mokhwa (even nakwon) background, character, mindset and everything. their story circling around cops and criminal, i hope ygwim ^^

The relevance of the rape scene is in what mokhwa said!
What do you think a beating will do to a gangster, or cutting of a finger. That's mokhwa's world, he has seen such day in day out. I bet you if he had his finger cut off he wouldn't flinch. And also nakwon can't just cut off his finger, he committed a crime that would sound unbelievable if mokhwa even reports it. Who would have believe him, a whole Mr nakwon? Rape?
And now we've seen that in mokhwa's world sex is a power play. Not for pleasure, not for fun, but for who is in charge, and that was what nakwon did to him. That's why mokhwa didn't clapback at nakwon's shit.
So yes
The rape scene has great relevance to the story . It's unpleasant, very unpleasant, but now we no why . And there's probably still more to come that'll leave us without our jaw because that shit will be on the floor
Like what the fuck?? Why was that necessary? Vile
