yeah this story is mid but i think it gained its traction specifically because of taeha. you might not like haesoo—i sure don’t—but the way the men are drawn here is pure and utter eye candy imo. taeha is the average trope of a rich 20 smth year old with a messed up mind who stalks and obsesses over the female lead. people eat stuff like that up in romances i mean look at novels like haunting adeline lol. the male lead is completely insane and irredeemable and the plot is abysmal but its extremely popular because it attracts a specific audience.
i don’t like any of the characters, i literally see them all as tropes
and don’t get me started on haunting adeline i’m never getting over those 40 year old women encouraging children to read it on tiktok
its free on KU so i read it and i genuinely could not believe my eyes. people will read and hype up anything
i will honestly argue this until the day i die:
this is the most overhyped manhwa to this day…there’s no plot (its just a revenge fantasy that doesn’t know where to go), the characters follow a trope and don’t have ANY personality whatsoever, the art is mid and the smut is boring
the reason as to why the story doesn’t feel like its progressing is because of the anticlimactic nature of the plot, nothing happens and whenever something seems to be happening, it ends abruptly with no outcome
maybe im just bias, but the climax of the story should’ve been when mincheol found out that haesoo had moved on with taeha, that was what built anticipation, however the whole interaction ended with the boys having a petty jerk off and parting ways
it’s not interesting whatsoever and should not have gained the amount of traction it did
