tj being a concept is so real lmaooooo
went from calling him the best character to basically a flashback lmaoooo i hate it here
he's still the best character for me
we just get him
UGH U PUT HOW I FEEL INTO WORDS! LIKE THIS MANHWA IS SO POETIC ON SO MANY LEVELS LIKE I WAS JUST RANTING TO MY FRIEND ABOUT HOW CRAZY IT IS HOW THEIR SEXUAL DYNAMIC PLAYS INTO TO WTF IS HAPPENING W THEM RN AND THEIR SPECIFIC PORTRAY OF D/S DYNAMICS ON SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS IS JUST SO INTERESTING!!!!!
SPEAK YOUR MIND OMFG YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!
Personally, despite my tastes, I really like how Jo and Ian's relationship is evolving. Jo is oblivious of everything, literally everything. He is constantly exposed to a reality he doesn't know or understand. As much as Ian tries, he cannot escape who he used to be, despite wanting a second chance to be happy and to discover what he has been deprived of. Jo may say he's willing to give up everything for Ian to be by his side, but the anger and rage of not fully understanding him is what leads Jo to twist the way he sees not only Ian, but their relationship as a whole. The fact that TJ is no longer present does not mean that he is not relevant in Ian's life, because as long as he is constantly dragged into that violent world, he would still be connected to TJ since he is violence itself. Like -- omfg this can't get anymore poetic.
My only complaint is that Jo is acting like this for a man he quite literally just met like-- geez. chill tf That's why I prefer TJ (in essence, cause he is a concept at this point, barely appears lmao). But again, that's just my personal taste. Still, I LOVE this story
