To be honest, what makes this story good besides obviously good art and 'some well written' characters, its the bond between wooyeon and geum. I love the way Geums love never wavered (most of the time,...i think). Every character was into Geum, which i get it but more than that, i understand why Geum fell for Wooyeon of all people. Wooyeon as character too, has his own story. Story didnt focus on his issues but he is not typical strong, obsessive, possessive top. He is obedient. He is weak. He is even scared to make a move. He is passive in a toxic but also very kind way. He is not unrealistically rich or he cant fight back. But he tries in his own way, that he is so sweet. He is such a great constract strong, fighter character like geum. And considering his story, it makes sense too. He is so humane and lovely. And Geum is very, very lucky to have him. Of course, Geum deserves great things too. He is so cute and pure so they are really good match, in a way that we couldve a normal love story between them without rxpe and it would still be somehow entertaining to read. (And their relationship with Yeonsoo is cute too).
Now my issues with this story;
1- I think story didnt have force that constant rxpe into our faces. Yes, story adress it as rxpe because it is BUT lets be honest. Geums being rxped by constantly by thousand men, slow watch on details over and over..it was so unnecessary. So it wouldnt be wrong to say that this webtoon also fetishized rxpe.
2- The way author treated the prosucetor and reider as 'love rival'. That mc somehow had different dynamic with them. That they "loved" him ew. "No, author doesnt mean its love". Look. Narrative portrays it that way. For example, what was the point of the scene geum was rxped the last time and he said "we had fun. Goodbye" like, why did even geum go to him? Or the farewell scene between geum and reider...
3- Not just the two guys i mentioned, for example even characters who is side with geum; like, the guardian guy who watched child geum as being rxped but didnt save him or that guy named hong. He is one of the guys who rxped geum in the past. "Because everyone fcked geum". Yes, it is rxpe because everyone knows he is sex Slave there. And he is "geums friend". He is audiciaty to kiss his legs after rxpe, clean him and criticize wooyeon for something wooyeon didnt do (even though wooyeon told geum to fcking go to school, not home. dont even get me started on that) andddd he is acting like some love rival and kiss geum in airport and everyone is okay with it? İt was so disgusting, why did that scene even needed to happen? Like before, maybe i can say whatever but now, everything is normal. Like, geum has fcking lover. Leave the fck him alone??? I am mentioning these things because i didnt see enough people to talk about this. Those people watched geums suffering, did nothing, saw him as object. They are not much different from people who abused geum. Think about how many characters said: "Hey, geum. Can we sleep with you one last time? It was so good", "yeah it was"...ew, Ok.
- one hand, this story is about beautiful boy who is fcked by everyone. Everyone is into him. Everyone fcked him in the fckiable way. And after everything that boy who fcked everyone can be happy with one pure normal guy. Its like, there is this some satifying from author, the idea that bottom is violated in all possible ways, then gives him happy ending, as some form of forgiveness. One other hand, this is story about survivor and how he survived horrible things, thanks to his lovers pure, warmth love and gets the ending he deserves.
-- Anyway, at least ending was better than most series. At least, victimized bottom ends up with Green flag top. The safety and comfort geum felt with wooyeon was amazing. Because there is consent in relationship. Anyway, last chapter words were so cute and emotional. I hope everyone who is in pain can find happiness and heal and live because you deserve it. And i hope karma happens too. Thats all. I said this because i think it needed to be said. Now, time to read another story. And i hope being happy in real life.
