Honestly, I think there’s a beautiful progression as their relationship deepens and they get to know each other AND themselves more, I looooove this manhwa! I think it’s very realistic and in my opinion their dynamic in the last few chapters is pretty healthy :o (although it need some more communication and to state that they clearly care for one another and are committed to this relationship, whether it’s purely sexual/about the play or it’s a more romantic one)
And Johee is really understandable and, like, a normal person, to me ? Just figuring thing out, maybe the hate she gets is fueled by a lot of misogyny/ internalised misogyny, bc women get so much pressure to be perfect, not make any mistake and there’s the idea that they can’t do harm, which is just incorrect
I like where this is going tho, really lovely work with BDSM in it, super refreshing to read, to me
yes i totally agree that they need more communication. they definitely r progressing in a healthier way but there is still a wall between them. honestly there's only a few times where they actually just normally hung out.
they are both traumatized(?) or have been hurt in their own way which builds a wall between them, and also creates feelings of confliction or doubt.
i also feel like the hate that johee gets is fueled from some kind of misogyny and it's really sad to see... this is highkey why we don't see these kind of works in the mainstream
they match each others freaks so well
also ppl hate on the girl too much
they literally show us both of their thoughts (more of the guys perspective tho) they are both clearly a little mentally unwell, which is rare for manhwas and i appreciate the representation.
