the usual Stockholm syndrome BS about a crazy psychopath kidnaps a painter. that what hap...

I am waiting for a happy ending.

I don't see any happy ending, unless you count "happy ending" has an abusive relationship ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Slim chance that Seungho becomes a better person. I don't particularly favor the types of stories where the shitty male lead *changes* from freaking abusive murder to great all round guy because it's highly unrealistic and makes me cringe, but I'm still hoping the story goes in that direction... sigh *cue inner conflictions

either way, if it goes to make the crazy murder "good and nice" out of nowhere or he stays crazy and abuses the uke. either way, it will end badly ╮(￣▽￣)╭ that's why I don't have any hope for this story. and I don't like that kind of story.
but I"m sure there is people that like this kind of story so each and their own taste.

Yeah....because seungho is soooo psychopathic am i right. Literally the only time he did “crazy” things was when someone betrayed, angered or mislead him. He’s DEFINITELY a messed up person but “psychopath” isnt it. Do you even know what a psychopath is? Also, Nakyum doesnt have stolkholms, he doesnt even like seungho. Stolkholms isnt “omo do i like him!?” its “nooo dont take me away from himmmm”. Not to mention id bet my toe the reason he gets hard is because of that “tonic”

I'm not looking too deep in these ones lol. I know I generally don't look for unhappy endings. However it ends whatver. Just hope it's a generally nice one.

sure cause that guy that didn't lie to him totally "betrayed" him right? so it's OKAY to murder them out of nowhere. no totally fine. despite he knows he didn't lie so that kind of make it BULLSHIT. he is a psychopath to me and that's it.
he kind of does, he attracts to him even before he gets any bs tonic and blushes every time they together FROM THE START. and he does not hate him for what he did or blame him. I already know where it's going, don't try with me. okay

Then bye and never comment negative again, there are people who have a different perspective about this kind of story, I do respect your opinion, because it’s yours, but it doesn’t mean you should say this kind of things. Also, a recommendation, if you don’t like a story or whatever, shut up, no body is asking.

PERIODT. Its one thing to have a negative opinion, but unless its constructive, it’s absolutely pointless and not good to post.

Ok

Wow you must be fun at parties

The thing is tho that I don’t think the story wants you to like him like most stories want you to love the characters but with him it kind of lets you have your own opinion of him. Like at first of course everybody hated him and Na-kayum still hates him too, he’s just caught in the conflict that he also deeply lusts for him and now Yoon is being nicer to him so he’s not sure how to feel about it. I think the author gave us the perspective of mostly showing Yoon’s actions towards Na-kyum so we can see how he has this inner conflict of not knowing his feelings bc I’m sure he’s still terrified of him. I don’t think anyone has any sympathy for Yoon but lately it’s been hinting at revealing a bit of his backstory.

I don't really care if you allow me to comment or not XD I will comment whatever I want when I want. I don't ask you. I have any right to say WHATEVER I want to a story. Just cause you get offended from it, despite it's not aiming for you but for a not real story, is not my problem, it's yours. and honestly, I don't care.

watch how it turn to love and he will never leave him ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

Come on!! how old are you? 3? 5?

and how old are you that you get offended by someone that doesn't like what you like? like really XD it seems you really get offended easily. if you don't like my comment don't read it.

If these two develop feelings, will this be really a Stokholm syndrom story? By Stokholm syndrom, it generally means the victim - who is an ostage, a prisoner- kept in captivity falls in love with his tormentor, because he developped a kind of mental illness.
While we agree that at first Yoon forced NK to have sex with him and that NK clearly hated it, now their relationship is an ARRANGEMENT between the both. NK agreed to sleep with SH and in exchange, SH promised to help the teacher to enter in the government and not hurt him.
But as we know, the teacher reveals himself to NK he's looking down on the boy, saying he's a prostitute whose only usefulness is to serve him. This is so hurtful and humiliating. I would be so broken if I were NK, if the one I looked so much for and sacrified my chastity for - to save him, for him to realize his dreams- just insult me plainly in the face. The Sir just shot himself a bullet in the foot.
Now, what will happen? Like someone asked, will NK give the infos to the Sir, will he become closer to Seungho? Will he run away?
I think this episode gives the opportunity to NK to grow emotionally and become stronger (or weaker). In all cases, from now on, Nakyum can decide of his futur.
Since Seungho doesn't know, NK can decide to do whatever he wants. He's not held in captivity, he succombs to the lust but isn't raped like before.
If he decides he'd run away since his teacher doesn't care about him, he's totally free and I think not even SH can stop him. He's not enchained.
If he chooses the teacher, then it'll be too bad for him given how In Hun doesn't value him at all. But if he chooses SH, he's free to stay and if he falls in love then it'll be his choice. Yoon, on his side, tries hard to seduce the boy since he understood that brutalizing the boy isn't a good way to approach him.
Yoon uses the teacher to get NK, but once NK decides he has enough of the mean teacher, Yoon won't have any grip on him anymore.
While NK shows more than one time he's very naive, I doubt he's that dumb. To me, he's just a normal average boy that was in love with a fake man, but he's enough independant to decide of what he wants.

Hope it can give you another vision from the story.

Lol, I said all this and I forgot to say the most important thing:
A story progresses and evolutes, and with it, the characters and the feelings they hold for each others.
So yeah, sometimes, it can be a Stokholm syndrom story (mind break), and sometimes it happens that the characters' personality changes to adapt, to tame the other. This happens when they both feel attraction. It's normal that we change also to please the one we like/feel attracted to.

yeas it is still Stokholm syndrom cause it start from kidnapping, Threats, extortion, and force to stay until he gets used to it and falls in love with his abuser cause he have no choice. that the definition of Stokholm syndrom.
there was no way in any of chapters I read he was independent, he was the victim and will stay a civtim even if he turn it into love.

I love how people turn crazy psychopath that can murder any second into someone that can change with no professional help with the power of "love" very realistic.
yeas no, sorry I"m not. I hate this kind of crap writing. IT IS THE WORSE MASSAGE EVER!!
