Thank you and please spoil me more :) i didn't understand why he suddenly kissed him and also the latest chapter is confusing
Thanks for this!!
I was hesitant to read this but this sold me, thank you.
I loved you analyze! Can I ask what’s your opinion now that we are 48 chapters deep
I posted something a while ago about the recent chapters but I don't even remember my thoughts on it because I usually just word vomit all of my opinions and forget it 10 seconds after, sorry (╥﹏╥) I honestly just rant about characterizations in gay porn lol
I do feel veeeeery different about Taesung now that his true colors have come out, but I applaud the author for building up to that reveal so well, it had me fooled for a while. I still quite like the story since it's still staying true to its darker themes, now Taesung's behavior is mirroring Ji Song's a bit which is scary but pretty fucking interesting ngl
I'm glad you like my analyzes though! I've seen you before my friend, nice to see you again!
Aww! Nice to see you too bestie, it’s such a joy reading your comments bc you have such a way with words and you See you bigger picture instead of just focusing on one aspect, I really like your way of explaining the plot bc many don’t think that deep about mangas and it’s a shame bc stories like ltww is really interesting, I recently read ch 37 again and it’s wild
The raws....oh my lord this is a wild ride

I can't tell you how impressed I am with this manhwa so far. I mean the art is already beautiful and melancholy (and have you seen them thicc asses omg help), but the story is what really sold me. Let's just say it ain't the most predictable and man it's painfully good at exploring toxic dynamics.
The thing that really got me is how the mafia boss and the hyung totally developed in a different direction. Don't get me wrong I never truly trusted the hyung since he literally raped Suyoung in the beginning but he did seem remorseful and honestly I expected them to grow into a less close but healing relationship. NOPE.
HYUNG IS FUCKING BATSHIT AND I LOVE IT.
Let me tell you, it ain't the usual lazy writing you get with abusive relationships in yaoi, the author makes sure to believably show how much Suyoung and his hyung's relationship spiraled into something twisted. I love how the author still keeps the hyung in character by taking positive parts of his personality and warping them into something sinister.
It was quite heartbreaking to see that they had such a long history and friendship together only for it to be sabotaged by the hardships of adult life and the complications of romance. Hyung went from this very nurturing mentor to a pretty unhinged possessive lover while still trying to act like the older brother who knows best, like he can't handle the idea of Suyoung rejecting his love/support.
This is speculation but he seems only satisfied w/ having Suyoung be dependent on him and maybe that's a controlling part of his personality that's always existed but never really manifested until he started clapping them cheeks. I mean the hyung would use the same words he did back then to try to bring Suyoung's walls down, but this time he did it while he abused him..with such a dark undertone. It's a chilling dynamic to read. Almost too real with the domestic abuse, I felt a lot of emotions I tell you.
Then you have the mafia dude who is by no means an angel yet manages to be the better choice. I love how he becomes more human as he gets to know Suyoung and how, even though he is more powerful, he doesn't always have the upper hand with Suyoung. Even from the beginning Suyoung was bucking at this nigga, it was very different from how he is with his hyung, he's clearly not afraid to fight for respect and equal ground w/ the mafia dude. The juicy power struggle is still there at times but it feels more equal and it's so refreshing to see the bottom have so much more agency with the "dangerous mafia seme" type for once.
And again, the mafia dude shows more humanity and actually develops into more than an abusive, arrogant, and hyper-masculine top that you often get with mafia "semes". Mafia dude actually starts to respect him a little when Suyoung punched him (which was hilarious) and he softens up and empathizes with Suyoung /before/ he does something irredeemable (like, say, full on rape?). So even though he's still morally gray with the blackmailing and the violent introduction we've got more of a possible enemies-to-lovers thing brewing and I'm HERE for it.
The way Suyoung kissed the mafia dude on the last chapter in that fierce way I love it. I love how he's not some passive MC, that he can take the romantic interest by storm as well, makes for a much more entertaining couple. Some shit bout to go down next chapter whew.
Gosh, to think the best friend is the bad end and the MAFIA dude (might) be the good end. Talk about unexpected lmao
