now i agree with you. never in eunsung and jay's life would they slap the shit out of their love interests, plus none of them were that insecure to go that low for their future partners. honestly, i mean no matter how much i try to find manhwas that gives off vibes like checkmate, they'd never come close to that masterpiece so it's fine

My problem with red mansion is someone did in fact recommended it to me when I asked for rec like checkmate and omg the disappointment I got when I read it it was just cliche pervy stalker nothing new about it like okay the uke is crazy but stupid crazy the whole plot is centered around sex and Stockholm syndrome its fine if someone wanted something like killing stalking or obey me but checkmate? Hell no
and yes I did gave up on finding anything near how perfect Checkmate no one is like my glorious king Soohyun ╥﹏╥

YOU WERE SCAMMED, funny that we both gave up looking for a checkmate duplicate lol but if u want to try same dynamics as them (as in the dynamics that goes like they hate each other but actually enjoys each other's company) i suggest these:
- Semantic Error
- On To You
- Park Hanhoo's Manager
- Murderer Llewellyn's enchanting dinner invitation
- Payback
- Nerd Project
- Full Moon Alchemist
- Don't Mix Business with Pleasure!
- The Boundary of Fragrance
- Netkama Punch!!!
- Muhyeok and Naui: My Irresistible Neighbor
- An egocentric way of thinking
- Again
- Eighteen's Bed
- Melting Point
- Vanilla soda sky
- Salvation Spirit
- Payback
- At the End of the Road
- Heesu in Class 2 (not rlly but i see them as younger soohyun and eunsung)
- Backlight
- Runway Hit
- Undercover Darling
- The Worst Guy in the Universe
- What’s the Probability of A Successful Love?
- Love Sick Dog (also not rlly but their vibes are similar to checkmate's)
- Heart Racer
- Please Pay Attention To Me
- My Hot Friend Is Glowing
- My Guildmate Next Door
