This story is not JUST about which guy the MC ends up with. It's about so much more, it explores homophobia, poverty, violence, love and even race. Though it doesn't do it all perfectly, it shows a poor gay asian boy growing up with no stability. The older he gets the more he craves normalcy and that's the two worlds each of the ML's represent. I think this manhwa explores the question of "Can people really change?" Funny how it's most likely "No" for TJ cause he doesn't even want to, and it's a "Yes" for Jo because of all that we've seen happen lately. As for Ian, I feel like he's never been into the things he's had to do to survive, he's moslty stayed the same while trying to change the things and people around him. Only thing I really don't like about this story is how confusing the gang storytelling is, a rich plot is always great to have but it's disappointing when it's made so complicated, it doesn't help that some characters that are supposed to be from enemy factions sometimes look similar. Tbh Ennead is also one story that I find extremely confusing, I could love it but it just gets into the thick of mythology I have never ever heard of and does a terrible job at explaining things, same here. All in all, I hope y'all can stop diluting a whole story or your whole being even to who you "end up with", truth of the matter is the one you end up with in every scenario is yourself, that's the relationship that matters most.
