I agree with people defending dohu in the comments bc they don't say bad things about juhe...

Honestly I’m shocked that people even feel some type of way about both of them. They’re both new to a relationship with mutual feelings and have never been in an environment that teaches them love or how to navigate a relationship so it’s clear that they would be clumsy and hurt by unsaid things. They both lack an ability to properly communicate due to Juheon’s upbringing and Dohu’s autism that man doesn’t understand normal people or emotions he didn’t understand that Juheon would be hurt by what he did and when he did he didn’t know how to handle it, so it’s so weird to me that people are saying bad things about the characters when they see why they react the way they do. They are both sociopaths they don’t know how to navigate themselves through society or emotions so you can’t expect them to have common sense especially when they’ve never been taught how

Damn we must not be reading the same comment section then lmao, because I only see Dohu glazers here most of whom are definitely shitting on Juheon, but care elaborate what dumb things people have been saying about Dohu?

You guys need to stop with that, they're not babies they're both grown ass men, and they most definitely should be held responsible when they mess up. Dohu definitely knew that what he did would hurt him, maybe not to that extent since he doesn't know about Juheon's past, but he had already dreamed about Juheon leaving him for lying and manipulating him at least once or twice prior to it actually happening, he also quite litteraly told Juheon, when he found out, that he didn't come clean because he knew Juheon would get mad. He knew that it was messed up and yet he still did it, the fact that he very obviously has difficulties understanding social cues and processing his own emotions let alone other people's doesn't absolve him of blame and especially not in this situation as he, again, already knew it was wrong. Also tf where did you get that they were sociopaths lmao?

This is exactly the way I see it, they’re both learning how to love each other properly. It’s hard to do that for both of them, because of their past, inability to communicate and their hard time with understanding feelings. I also think it’s the first time for them to actually ‘fall’ for someone, which also adds to more misunderstanding between Dohu and Juheon.

I agree with you, but I also get Coco's point! Atp I don't even want to take sides I feel like a divorce child

I’m not saying that it excuses them from being dense and assholes but we’ve read the same story Dohu didn’t understand that his actions would hurt him until it was indeed too late yes when he learned of how messed up it was he should have come clean and taken responsibility, and his wrong for that but he only learned of how wrong it was from watching a movie (if I remember correctly) meanwhile he was also still processing his own feelings towards Juheon and them both not being able to properly communicate contributed greatly to their down fall even now. I love your point and the way you stated it was amazing, but I also think it’s never that serious for people to be hating on the characters when they clearly see the thought process behind it all we been knew Dohu was an emotionless ass who made no effort to change or try to understand anything for anyone and I think people forget that. So forgive my shock when I find out people are out here going ham in the comments it’s like reading a rapey yaoi and being shocked that there’s rape in it ( I actually don’t like these tropes and rape shouldn’t be romanticized at any point).

Well, I'm gonna write a lot so sorry in advance

Alright girls, I’m gonna expand a bit on what you said about Dohu (before he became the yearning hot bottom he is now). A few chapters back, some people were saying that it didn’t matter if he was autistic, that it didn’t excuse the "betrayal" he did the top... and yeah even though most comments tend to understand both characters, I always took it kinda personally when people called Dohu manipulative or selfish when it’s so obvious his actions weren’t malicious. chapters earlier, people wanted to see him completely break down in a sentimental way, but if we follow the author’s logic, that might not even happen, now people realize(? that his feelings show up in other ways (like the nightmares and the physical exhaustion, for example).

Anyway, sorry for making this long, I’m just really glad we’re having this discussion. Also, I don’t think they’re sociopaths tho... they’re just flawed people. BL readers are always talking about wanting communication, but they forget that even in real life people don’t just suddenly start communicating perfectly or change overnight. That’s why, in this manhwa, it’s important to see where both characters are coming from. So yeah, I don’t agree when people say Dohu is some emotionless ass who doesn’t even try to change.... I agree with you coco I just wanted to reply to you what I've been reading about Dohu in this hell of a site

I respect your opinion but I disagree. I personally don't really care for Dohu either way I just find it kinda staggering to see how many people seem to completely forget the part, before Juheon even found out, where he started to realize that what he had done might hurt Juheon but still refused to be honest about it, convincing himself that he'd just never find out as long as he didn't tell him. I also have to disagree on the whole communication thing, Juheon was pretty honest about how he felt throughout their relationship and about what he wanted from Dohu after he found out, the miscommunication part stems only from Dohu's inability to understand that he should've come clean to Juheon when he realized Juheon thought he was in love with him or when he talked about it with his friends and his sister who even warned him that whether he kept quiet about it or not he'd have to face the consequences of his actions at some point. Now about Juheon up and leaving without a word for 4 years, we still don't know what made him do it but either way I personally don't think he owed Dohu anything after what he had done.

I didn't get to see those comments but yeah I also don't think Dohu has ever had any ill intentions towards Juheon, quite the opposite actually, but I do think his reasoning was kinda selfish, intentionally so sure but still selfish. I do have to say though I find it very interesting that he realized that his dishonesty was their relationship's downfall and now just tells him whatever goes through his mind, I just wish he'd turned it down a notch or two and respected Juheon's boundaries but I understand where he's coming from and I guess he just needs a bit of time to adjust himself.
