Whoever wrote that theory needs to pay for my therapist

Bruh you should be thrown in jail for suggesting to hit yeongwoon

I know it sounds bad but mutual abuse is real in this one. It is the theme of the webtoon that they will constantly hurt each other and both parties are in the fault. If I'm gonna be thrown to jail for suggesting he takes some accountability then everyone who thinks he's the perfect victim should join me.

He doesn't communicate, constantly lies and keeps enabling ML's actions. He is AWARE that he is hurting himself and the people around him. I'm saying he shld be punched because he punched ML for things HE initiated, like dawg ML's a model he really chose his livelihood to punch. I really hate the dub-con because you are telling me after all the nonsense he went through, ML just wants to fk MC? Bffr I'd have serious abandonment issues and the first thing in my mind wouldn't be to get back together. SO instead of the sexual assault-thing that MC ambiguously initiates, I'd rather ML just punch him, an eye for an eye. If you've read ML's pov n still thinks MC's a perfect victim and he don't deserve a few punches, idk what to say.

If I knew a friend like MC irl I wld defo give him a punch to wake him up like it reaches a point. I am NOT enabling this kind of wishy-washy behaviour that's gonna land the entire friend group in trouble. (Idt I can be friends with someone who keeps lying to me anw, I'd have serious trust issues) Dude jumps into the mess, creates a bigger mess and you expect me to want him to stay there? NO I'd want him to pack up and leave that damn mess and if a punch from ML can wake him up I'd jolly-well beg for a few.

Also leaving this here in case people want to twist my words(Bcus this is the internet and people likes to jump on others). Me saying MC needs to take accountability and thinking ML needs an outlet doesn't mean I don't think ML deserve a punch too. Pancakes waffles.

**Wanting to punch them is more of a figure of speech. Shake them, take them on a trip, distance them, sending them to therapy, wtvr works because obviously communicating doesn't work. They are both abuse victims so it gets SO frustrating to read them start another cycle of abuse. They srsly need to wake up and reflect. BOTH of them.

I get that yw's self destructive behaivor can be toxic but when did he lie to seo in? He loved him for whole 10 years if anything he felt used, saw his crush kiss his adoptive brother, get beat up by his brother, His mother bribed his father and still didnt feel any resentment. He only cares for seoin. And i get seoin too but he really shouldn't have pushed him so hard.(I mean sexually) Remember that consent can be taken back. He punched him bc he ignored his "wait" and "stop" So im really baffled at your statement

Are we really reading the same story MC lied since the very start when ML tried to communicate with him during their school days. He lied again when becoming his manager, then lied again when meeting his old model. (Let's not forget how he lied to his gangster hyung, or his workplace abt his model cheating on the sponsor etcetc. Even if some of those are white lies, or maybe it's a defense mechanism to protect himself, the author has made it clear that MC is a habitual liar.) Within the two ML is the one constantly seeking a method of communication. Due to that, ML has trust issues and became extremely paranoid with MC because he was always either kept in the dark or lied to. I'm not trying to villainize MC, this is literally how he is written, nor am I justifying ML's violence, I think ML should be jailed by the end of the series but my point is, if MC can be justified and forgiven for his destructive behaviour, why can't ML have one punch.

Other characters constantly points that MC is in this whole mess because he loves to overstep despite being on the fence. He's not sure what he wants and confuses others along with him. He's the one who took ML's offer to sleep with him because of his feelings and sure consent can be taken back, but MC went back and did the SAME THING over again despite alrdy knowing how ML is. It reaches a point when a victim becomes an accomplice when there's constantly two hands clapping. I'm not saying I don't feel bad for MC, and I am NOT saying ML should be let off, pancakes waffles srsly. It's hard to feel sorry for only one side when MC's actions enables this kind of behaviour from ML.

Couldn't have worded it any better.

Girlie you be reading frontlight cause what

Yea sure I am reading frontlight, whatever floats your boat. ML is literally there as an example that someone can turn from a victim to a perpetrator and the best part of this webtoon is how the author don't shy away from portraying MC in a negative light. If you enjoy the narrative that the MC did no wrong participating in the toxic rs with ML, I ain't stopping you. Agree to disagree.
