you know i have my grips about this story, but some parts are very compelling to me. i like how jaekyung’s ritual is all about wiping out parts of his childhood, but we all know that pushing your trauma further and further away will cause the dam to collapse. the cologne callback was especially interesting to see as we always saw him spritz some on the morning of his match (the glass of milk i didn’t remember…) and i think the back story was very needed.
what gets me though is that, yes i feel bad for him, yes he grew up with an absent mother and an abusive criminal father, but he had people who cared so much about him growing up. he had his coach, his coach’s mother, this high school teachers, his current gym coach and gym mates… literally everyone was there for him and putting their 120% into caring for and loving jaekyung. but i understand how familial trauma and mental turmoil can turn an asshole into a bigger asshole.
this whole manhwa could be over if everyone got better sleep huh
