Don't even remind me I used to feel so frustrated I'd cry. Like fr tho. They're both men why is the bottom assigned woman like characteristics of fiction? Like we hate that shit in shoujo so why should we like it in bl or any other genre?? I need more bottoms like dohu. I'm tired of professional victims (a grown ass man capable of making better choices but chooses to be a bed wench instead mind you)
FOR REAL. Some comments on here really baby Dohu, as if he's without fault or should just be forgiven right away, whereas if this was reversed, they'd be demanding Juheon to grovel.
I feel like giving Dohu some real faults makes him so much more dynamic and compelling. And the whole story starts with him being known as a stagnant, kind of stuck in his own head, type of character. But now he's growing, learning to communicate and thinking of others.
Exactly that's his purpose in the series and to reduce him to just a regular bottom is an insult to his development. He doesn't feel much and that's why consequences are required. He needs to learn how to rebuild trust that he broke. That won't happen if juheon just caves cz he likes him. Love is not always enough.
Obviously Dohu was wrong, but I don't believe he deserved 4 years of ghosting or whatever the crap Juheon treated him like telling him to drop the project when they met again. He didn't even give Dohu any chance to talk. This is the reason why so many people baby Dohu, because whatever punishment he is getting now is so disproportionate to what he had done. This has nothing to do with top bottom dynamic. Juheon had right to be angry, but he handled the whole thing poorly. Two wrongs don't make a right. It's nice to see Dohu's character development, so it's about time for Juheon to get one as well.
Juheon doesn't owe dohu anything if he decided he doesn't want him then that's what it is. He shouldn't be forced to accept dohus feelings if he doesn't want to. Presence of love between doesn't mean they have to together. Dohu breached trust and unless he rebuilds trust juheon doesn't need to do anything for him even if he loves him. Y'all can baby dohu all you want but don't sit here and act like juheon is not in his right to reject him and tell him to drop out of the project when dohu has just been harassing him. Like come correct sir your not the only one whose feelings were hurt.
omg, THANK YOU! I've seen so many comments saying that Juheon is in the wrong for 'punishing' Dohu by ghosting, or not giving a chance him a chance now.
What they don't realize is that once a relationship is broken, ex-partners dont owe each other ANYTHING. Sure, as readers we would like Juheon to ease up. But he's clearly not trying to punish or harm Dohu, the dude is just trying to protect his own peace and everyone has a right to. He doesn't need to hear anyone out. He can if he wants to, but an ex-partner(especially the one who was more in the wrong) is never entitled to another opportunity.
Even asking to Dohu to drop out is a negligble thing bc at the end of the day, Juheon made a simple request and when Dohu refused, Juheon left it at that and has continued to do his best to stay professional. He's not leveraging his role or taking any steps to force the other to quit or bribe them.

Even bfr I read the chapter I'm tired of pretending that I don't like when bottoms do the chasing. To me they're both men so why should they subscribe to heteronormative ideals? Plus baby boy dohu is so manly it would be a waste if he wasn't pining
