Is it over?

YUH UH YUH UH

The author never implied that this backstory is a way for us readers to forgive Jaekyung. It's just a way for us to understand his actions and know him well as a character. If you don't want to read it, the fuck off. Also, it's 'proved', bot 'proofed'. If you've got time to judge a manhwa, then go and learn English. Nobody's forcing you to read this, and you're reading this on your own. People like you love black flags like Zhenya but then hate characters like Jaekyung. If you don't like the backstory or the manhwa, then respectfully fuck off, because there are many others to genuinely love the whole plot.

I’m so confused…you’re reading a manhwa while hating on the ML, all while fully knowing they’re gonna end up together?
Also, I personally must disagree and say that his backstory DID explain why he acts the way he does.
He never experienced love and affection, therefore he doesn’t fully know what it is and how to express it- let alone emotions overall, except anger, due to his violent childhood and literally having committed his life to violence (his career). It also showed that his sex partners were never serious and he’d never before been in love, meaning this is first time.
Having always lived one way his whole life without anyone interfering/guiding/changing him, then all of a sudden a cog (dan) is thrown in the loop and is making him experience different things (he took a break for once and relaxed instead of feeling like he had to keep on working hard) which is all new to him. Although it doesn’t excuse his actions, it really explains his actions and character.
Have your own opinions sure, just saying perhaps the authors intentions were for people to have a deeper understanding rather than a shallow one of literally just reading what’s in front of your eyes. (Not meant in a rude way).

Also, although technically irrelevant (and I mean this generally) but how come so many people he hating HARD on Jae kyung when there’re so many worse tops and characters in other manhwas, and what jk does is 100% better? Like let’s not forget Dan agreed to the contract of being a sex partner… bro wasn’t abused or anything either…like…
(Not a supporter of jk’s actions earlier but hopefully you understand where I’m coming from) xx

Girl I said IN MY OPINION, never stated it was a fact. Also we can turn that around, do you personally know the author? Do you know what their intentions were? Let me tell you people can read what they want to read, sure you don’t have to agree with or like their opinions about the manhwa but you hating on everyone in the comments ain’t gonna change shit. Hmmm I literally hate Zhenya with my whole existence and I hope he burns in hell. If you asked me I would tell you Jaekyung is nowhere near his level of diabolical evilness but that’s besides the point. I seriously don’t understand why you would bring another manhwa into this.
Okay sorry english is not my first language, didn’t know you were the chief of the English police jeez.
It’ really low to go after someone’s language skills when you have no idea what their circumstances are. You clearly understood what I meant so I don’t know what got you so pissed off. You just making shit up and being mad somebody does’t speak perfect english tells me what kind of person you are.

Well I’m not saying I hate the whole manhwa, honestly I’d say it’s a love-hate relationship. I really like the art style, the professional sports setting and Dan and his grandma. I do realize they’re gonna end up together but I’m hoping Dan gets a way better version of Jaekyung than the one right now. I hope he genuinely apologizes and acknowledges what he did wrong (therapy even? lol I know that’s not even in the realm of possibility). When I started reading this I thought it was gonna take a different route and now I just wanna see how it all ends up. I agree that the backstory is an explanation for the way Jaekyung acts. I just simply wanted to say it’s not an excuse and does’t justify his actions. You might be right about the authors intentions, I’m glad we got to see Jaekyung as a child it’s just the backstory seemed too long for me.
To answer your question ( this is purely a speculation ): Jinx is a very popular manhwa, the art is beautiful and really well done. Many people maybe didn’t even read the stories with the absolutely diabolical tops, but if they did the tops were just too far gone absolute piece of shit assholes (so it’s less worth talking about and there is no potential). Jaekyung on the other hand had some potential to actually do better/be better. At least for me that’s the thing, he wasn’t too far gone and the possibility was there. Maybe for some people still is there, cause you can see he has some humanity, unlike the other black flag tops. So it’s just worth talking about more. Also let’s be honest Jinx is a very popular hate read lol.

(Also thank you for keeping it respectful, cause some of these Jaekyung defenders in the comments go absolutely crazy)

Ohhh okay I get you now. Honestly I do really enjoy seeing other people understand (or at least attempt to) a manhwa as much as I do and view it from different perspectives instead of packing on negativity and negativity. And I 100% get where you’re coming from cause I don’t like jk’s past actions as well and do agree that perhaps the author could’ve lead the story a different way, but it’s fine as is (as a person who’s read manhwas/gas/huda for yearss now).

Also, my pleasure and honestly it’s more respectful to understand that everyone has different views and opinions of things, so I’d rather not try to push mine on others but instead share them instead xx
