Emotional.

Wow, I wasn’t expecting this update to make me so emotional. When I saw Chang-geon’s reaction to Sam-myeong changing the meaning to his name, I felt like crying. Aside from everything else about his character in the present, this is incredibly depressing. I can understand very easily why he idolized Sam-myeong to the point of monomania: he gave his life purpose, hope, and made him feel loved and appreciated for the first time in his short life. To see how he ended up, though… I can’t say I’m surprised. He’s so damaged beyond repair, it seems, and suffered all kinds of abuse. He ended up hurting, torturing, and abusing the one person whom he loved and whom treated him with respect (as much as you can call it love… more like infatuation and obsession). The other two princes sure are a piece of work, too. I mean, I understand “different era, different societal rules,” but sheesh. I’m in love with this story and I can’t wait to see how it progresses. The last time I was this into a BL manhwa was when Killing Stalking came out for the first time. This deserves so much more recognition.
