Well, that just cleared up and confirmed my suspicions...
Thanks tho (づ￣ ³￣)づ
No problem, i've been reading it on Lezhin where the story is further along than what has been posted here. Basically, yes Actor2 is controlling, but his character ends up being more complex.
thanks for the spoiler lol. i planning on not reading it because i thought the plot would be similar to See You Again's plot.
I would say it's not really like See you again, the characters are more realistic in their emotions & behaviour, and BTS chooses to actually show the reality of prostitution/sponsorship within the Korean entertainment industry, whereas See you again , in regards to exploitation, mostly centered around a personal relationship, rather than it being systematic of the characters workplace. The only criticism is maybe the art, as the characters body shapes are a bit weird at times, but you could say that it's more of an artistic style, like how in sweet is sugar daddy they all had long bodies and massive foreheads.
wow based on the raws the 2nd actor is literally trash as a human being. Him and his sponsor daddy can go fuck off. I truly never understand people who would degrade themselves for a career then cry victimhood when you purposely chose the easier route rather than waiting and failing like everyone does in order to eventually succeed. Plus your blatant disregard and disgusting possessiveness towards your partner, completely ignoring the pain you cause them in whoring yourself in your pursuit of selfish glory and recognition. It's why I honestly only half loved Dark Heaven because it's plays similarly on the plot of the evils of stardom. There's only so much sympathy someone can be given, before it's a story of greed and selfishness that was willingly sought after. Really hope the 1st actor and model end up happily together because the other two characters are actually disgusting people.
also the 1st actor knows his partner is whoring himself out for the industry execs and still repeatedly goes back to him, despite the pain it causes him. I don't even know if he just doesn't have a backbone or just has become desensitized to the whole thing. His manager clearly wants him to end things with the bastard, but he seems stuck in a clearly emotionally abusive relationship and can't escape the control his lover has over him in manipulating a love that's gone rotten by now.
Well actor’s manager said that actor2 changed I think actor hopes his lover to become what he was before whoring himself but he’s not the same anymore. Actor2 is tainted and clearly chose his acting career over his lover.
If you want spoilers.
