This man killed a person in front of nakyum when he refused to paint for him
if you reread it, the situation was a bit different. Yes, he, the lord, killed a person, but only after nakyum said he is not 'nakyum the painter', that made Seungho question if the man/servant was lying about finding the right person. And lying to the master is not appreciated.
I think so too in his inside he has some good we see that more often now.
His whole behavior is coming from his upbringing and status.
Good reason for killing
I wonder why people think inhun is a bad person, he didn't intend to do anything to Nakyum, he just wanted information
sure is. For master/servant relationship in older times
he didn't do anything bad yes, aside from being disgusted with him 90% of time, asking him to whore for the information for his sake. And then treating him like a whore lol you are so oblivious
Well you clearly don't get the sarcasm, but try to apply what you just said to the other fucker Seungho, no one is oblivious except Seungho's masochists
THANK YOU. Being a noble is his reason for being a dick, but not an excuse. Even then even the other nobles say he's a dick so it's not like what he's doing is standard noble behaiviour.
Also he felt bad for raping nakyum? Good for him. He still did it so what does it matter. He has a weak side? Yes so does literally every other human you're just praising him for being three-dimensional
I am praising the author because Seungho is still fictional and on paper. Moreover, every human being makes mistakes, so does he.
I also don't think that being a noble is his reason for such behavior. I'd say his reason is rather to cover some pain from the past, which you may say is still no excuse but if every person would think alike and ACT alike our planet would be the happiest place in the universe with only morally positive choices. This might be no excuse but it is human-like... You know, bad people don't just decide they want to be bad. They are often unable to be different and often don't see their behavior as bad. The human psyche is pretty complicated which is nicely shown here. Seeing just morally correct characters would only make a story shallow and unrealistic.
(PS I don't know if you've seen La Casa de Papel aka Money Heist but in that story, for example, one of the fans' very favorite characters is a guy who's morality is definitely questionable but he's incredibly multi-dimensional and complex persona which make him that likable)
I actually agree with this! I don't think it's inherently wrong for the author to show us seungho's weaknesses and such to make him more human. However, in terms of knowing that this character will end up with nakyum, the guy he raped, I hope it's not the only thing that drives them together, as a lot of mangas/manhwas fall into the trope of 'now that you see I have feelings none of the bad things I did matter!' but rather show seungho try to redeem himself in some way. And if they don't do that at least admit that the relationship is messed up (which I thought was the path the author was going to take, but I'm seeing now the possibility of following the trope, which worries me.)
(Ill give you an example too lmao one of my favourite redeption arcs (though its still in progress) is Endevor's in My Hero Academia. He doesn't ask for forgiveness from the people he hurt because he knows it's beyond forgiveness, but instead he's constantly trying to show them that he can be better now. I have to commend the author for trying to reedem the manga's most hateable character. It'll be even easier for PotN to do this since a lot of people already like seungho. He has yet to win me over tho.)
Yeah, I guess going smoothly through the things he's done is not something we want to see. I hope he'll try to make everything right and redeem himself or something. It's just that I always like those lost people who make bad choices in stories (if their not total freaks), they're interesting. And if we talk about shounens there's a ton of guys like that - first thing in my mind are Obito or Nagato form Naruto. Not to mention Uchichas and maybe Orochimaru. Very questionable actions they took but in the end they tried to make things right. One can't really hate them. I miss shounens' deeper writing in yaoi.
I wonder why people think that Seungho is such a bad person.
He is indeed quite brutal and he needs things to be his way but he didn't intend to do anything to Na-Kyum for quite a bit of time, he just wanted paintings. And he's really blunt in many cases, he doesn't particurarly care what other people think.
Then only later his unexpected desires won, when he saw the boy drunk like hell and decided to use it. Well, it's not very nice to do it, sure, but he was quite gentle and our little boy wasn't really hurt by him. (I myself know the power of alcohol too well in making not very wise sexual decisions (￣∇￣") I feel the uke)
Later on, he did actually rape NaKyum, as he was very angry about something, if I remember correctly. But he at least stopped himself, seeing how he hurts him. It didn't turn him on to see someone in pain under him, so that is a good sign about his personality.
I know it's kinda exculpating the guy but I just can't seem to hate him. He's lost in his own feelings and he definietely doesn't want anything bad to happen to the uke, he just wants the boy to fulfil his wishes and when he doesn't he naturally feels the need to punish him.
Moreover, seeing the lord's weaker side, when the brother appeared, made both me and Na-Kyum, apparently, notice his humanity more. I know I'm exposed to hatred right now, but whatever. That's what I think.
