Holy shite, it does really parallel with each other. Thank you for pointing that out since I love that movie and I seriously recommend people to check it out.
Bruh I was jumping up and down earlier when I finally put my finger on what this manhwa reminds me of lmao. Seungho even has a childishness to him too like the king, it's kinda similar though not as extreme as the king. Like dang are all nobels like that? haha
Now that I think of it maybe that's why it's hard for me to ship Nakyum and Seungho, because it reminds me too much of that movie XD cannot unsee
It is a really good movie though I recommend it to everyone! You have good tastes my friend!
Well said
Dude I was fricking clapping reading this! Rape apologist is the right word! I'm going to be honest for a minute, they remind me of myself when I was younger.
It find that it gets easier to see past looks when you mature and learn to value personality more over a pretty face. I understand to some extent that the art is made to look appealing but ppl damn near cheering on a rapist got me having existential crisis every time I come to this comment section. It's really bizarre if you really think about it.
Real talk tho, we have got to stick together being the minority voice. The only reason I still come back to the comment section is because of people like you who are able to see the story and characters in a multifaceted way<3 so thank you too T-T
I don’t know if I accidentally downvoted. This system kinda stinks. But I agree completely and really appreciated you contributing your two cents. I keep reading this for the beautiful art, and hopefully a Kill Bill-esque revenge arc from Nakyum.
The korean movie The King and the Clown. Yoooooooooo this is the fucking manhwa version no WONDER I like this story. AND the movie is gay too w/ a talented prettyboy protagonist being pursued by a selfish and obsessed nobel. Pls watch that movie if you haven't already it's so fucking good. It will tide you over until the next POTN chapter trust me. Anyway,

Seungho taught Na-kyum how to give proper head and proceeded to shove his dick down Na's throat and told him to swallow or else he'd put it in his ass instead. Y'all usually that type of shite is my jam being into rapeplay and all but because it's not a BDSM scene and Nakyum looks like a helpless child my boner just dies. Which is sort of good because this is suppose to be realistic but it hurts man.
Seungho told Nakyum that he wanted him to look in a mirror and learn his own face. He plans on having Na paint his own sexual assaults. Seungho gave him the mirror to do just that. Dude, that's so fucking cruel to do. That's like recording the rapes and making the victim watch it, no its WORST.
No wonder he broke the mirror after that, almost like a fuck you to Seungho I guess. Seeing him sit in his room crying only to be haunted by that image was heartbreaking. He's starting to lose his mind y'all. He ran cause it was his breaking point, I bet In-sackofperiodblood-hun caught him while he was running off cause he seemed pretty fed up after being told to paint his own goddamn rape. But who knows.
See this is what the Seungho fangirls don't get. People aren't just against Na/ho because they hate Seungho, it's because it's damn near impossible to see Nana suffer that much only to go back to him. I notice that when ppl hope for Seungho to change they don't talk about how Na could possibly come around. How long will it take Na to trust him if ever? Will they ever be able to mutually fuck w/o Na flipping out from the past memories? More importantly, would /you/ forgive Seungho?
I ask that because as readers we're supposed to empathize with the protagonist of the story not the antagonist. Sure it's okay to want to know more about the antagonist and sympathize with their pain but to disregard a man who's been crying and traumatized to fangirl over how "gentle" Seungho is being for doing the barest of minimums is just really baffling to me. It's like people don't care what Nakyum wants and that he deserves better. It's like they don't care about Nakyum at all actually.
I get it, it's partly because he isn't developed and he doesn't have much of a voice and let's be forreal its hard to connect w/ an objectified character. However people act like him and Seungho are just having a bit of a lover's quarrel that can be solved with a personality change and some grovelling. Seungho is determined to stick to his cruel and controlling ways, the more I see the translations the more that is becoming evident.
If and only IF he does change it will take something drastic, someone will get permanently damaged first. Even then it's up to Na to forgive him and tbh he don't owe Seungho shit, not even forgiveness. If he does forgive him he should do it for his own closure (Kind of like the end of The Color Purple). I'm tired of bottoms having to heal shitty tops, why can't the shitty top grow on their own w/o getting what he already feels entitled to? Seungho can't have his cake and eat it too, he doesn't deserve Na's cakes anymore bruh.
Not to mention Nakyum never loved Seungho in the first place, he never wanted anything to do with him. They didn't meet mutually he was hunted down and kidnapped. Seungho was fixated on him in a very unhealthy way from the jump and now he wants Nakyum to immortalize their bond, this dude REALLY reminds me of the king from The King and the Clown a lot I'm telling you. Him wanting paintings of them shows this is a fixation, that this is continuing his obsession which is getting worst because of his new infatuation with Na.
P.S.
Can we accept that ppl have different opinions and stop trying to silence people who don't agree w/ the majority? I mean the ones with the "stop being negative about the story, don't say anything if it ain't positive" attitude who pop up when others criticize the story or just react negatively to things that are bloody meant to be upsetting.
People don't have to shit rainbows for you. Yea it's annoying to see but you think the pro-Seungho pro-romance people don't annoy me? They do. Just thumbs the shit down or disagree if you don't like what the person is saying. You have no right telling someone not to speak just cause you don't like what they're saying. Everyone has a right to their opinion even if it's a shit take in your eyes. Get over yourself.
