This is not love. This is not what love is about. You don't rape someone and say you're so...

This is not love. This is not what love is about. You don't rape someone and say you're sorry and justify saying you're a monster. You don't let someone treat you that way and justify it with saying you're just so in love.

Let's call things by their names: this is a toxic unhealthy relationship where love cannot exist. Maybe obsession at best.

Please, young readers, never think this is love and never let anyone treat you like that. Sadly our beautiful BL genre is still full of regressive stereotypes about love, women, gay man. Take care out there!

    Let me start this with In My Opinion. They are all mentally sick with no form of treatment or medication so how could you expect it to be healthy if they're not. In fact I think a more clever name for this would be "the closest thing to love".

    I would rather stress that these are serious disorders that they are taking lightly. Saying that someone like him can kill a living thing even when he didn't want to is not an exaggeration. A girl taking her own life after cycles in a bipolar state is quite normal. A trauma like in-seob went thru can literally break a mind. They should have been treated. Not by some sanitarium as an adult, as children.

    In that respect the fact that woo could regain some imitation of emotions was as miraculous as it was dangerous. Like, in the real world, much more dangerous than in here. This romance is the way it is because they CAN'T be normal and thier bond CAN'T be normalized. If you read this whole thing looking for that, you should have dropped this when you learned he had a serious unmedicated disorder. As for toxic, this might actually have been the best thing they could have done based on the circumstances they were given and made for themselves.

    It doesn't matter they aren't sane in the point I made. I'm not taking about the characters per se. I'm signaling to young readers who are still very impressionable that something like this isn't love and to never allow people to treat them like this in the name of "love". If you wanna waste breath defending how only insane people can act like that (which isn't true), be my guest.
