I love how this manhwa seems to fit Juyeon as a morally grey character, all his actions are rooted from trauma, physical and emotional scars. I also like how the novel doesn't romanticize any of the abuse/rape depicted, although I don't understand why mangago labelled it as a "romance." It's hard to completely hate on both characters, despite Jiwooks past actions we still pity him, and despite Juyeon's current actions we feel bad for his past. Both MC and ML are trash to put it simply.
Ok i hate him abit ( after reading the extras )
Absolutely not, he's also a terrible person if not worse. He forced an innocent dog onto Jiwook basically assaulting an animal.
I hate that part so much TwT
I can’t seem to hate Juyeon. After I read the novel, I understood why he acted the way he did. What happened to him was truly traumatic and horrifying—especially for a 14-year-old child. If I were Juyeon, I might have treated Jiwook even worse.
Don’t we all want our rapist to suffer? I might have done the same. I might have gone to such lengths that I could’ve become even worse than Juyeon. I might have become a monster. I do pity Jiwook as a human being—but he deserved that.
We can’t compare pain equally. Maybe Park Juyeon did worse things, but imagine the pain and trauma he went through. I understand. He was just a child—an innocent child—when Jiwook did all that to him. And even after gaining strength and power, his mind was still trapped in that child version of himself, frozen in time for 8 years.
So no, I can’t hate Juyeon.
I just hope Jiwook ends it himself… so he won’t have to suffer any longer.
