Yes! I totally agree! Alex was selfish before and DG was too soft. Now that their roles are revered, it’s gotten a lot more interesting.
I hoped that the plot wouldn’t become cliche, and it didn’t!
do you think dg should forgive him though? he's the one that's been hurt after all... of course jiwon can be redeemed if he chooses to be a good person from now on (which still hasn't happened by the way) but i don't think dg is in a position where he'd want jiwon back... i know people who have been treated like this by their partners, and it's not something you want to return to if you're looking out for yourself. i kinda hope the story won't force these two together! maybe time with other people would be for the best, so they can grow. but that feels naive of me to think, they are our main characters after all hahah
Well... real-life logic can ALMOST NEVER be applied to BL manga and manhwa after all (and I'm a hardcore shipper so I, temporarily, throw out my real-life based logic whenever I read BL stuff) ╮(￣▽￣)╭
If you're looking for a wholesome, cliché-free, realistic yaoi comic... eehhmmm, I think you're gonna end up disappointed most of the time.
I'm a hopeless romantic myself, so I always stay hopeful that things will work out somehow between couples when both parties love each other; I know not everyone believes a relationship that was initially unhealthy can change that drastically but I've personally seen it happen in real life so I believe it'll work out eventually between Alex and DG.
Also, it would've been a huge waste of character development and flashbacks from the author's part if they didn't intend to make Alex X DG endgame; that's the nature of the genre - short and sometimes a little predictable. I really loved the unexpected twists of this manhwa so far though. But when it's almost based solely on illustrations (comics), it becomes pretty obvious who'll end up with whom unless it's a love triangle or something.
hahah, i know, i don't read yaoi that much anymore cause i don't like the unrealistic aspects of the genre. i would want things to work out between them if i genuinely liked them as a couple, but i just don't in this case. i guess that really just means i should maybe drop this story more than anything though hahah.
i definitely think an unhealthy relationship can change into a healthy one, but it feels like a bit too big of a topic to tackle with a bl comic... which is probably why i'm not liking how they do it here. mostly though i just think the pov change feels unnatural and unecessary. i guess maybe the flashback is necessary for us to understand his upcoming redemption arc, but it feels a little bit shoehorned in.
... OF COURSE there's no excuse for his treating DG as badly as he did yet it's clear to see now what made him act the way he did; he had been traumatised by his first love and rather than overcoming the sadness, his subconscious decided to unknowingly forge him a cold, heartless exterior in order to protect his fragile, heartbroken self.
He had become scared of love itself and managed to live off the praise he got from his fans online - however shallow that "love" might have been, it kept him from going crazy and stabilised him somehow.
BUT NOW, our boi is ready to graduate from being the worst yet best d*ck of this comic - IT'S CONFESSION TIME, MY FELLOW FUJOSHIS! OH YES! I am SO ready now. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
