Lol yeah I agree, it's like almost every main lead should have a dark past, and a playboy will meet an innocent uke/girl that will change him. Cliche af and I don't know why I'm still reading stories like this lol, I guess deep inside I still like cliche.
Also I was hoping this manhwa might take a turn and give an even chance to both of the male lead, but then I got disappointed that the second main lead was just basically an accessory needed for jealousy. I expected too much, I guess.
Maybe you shouldn’t assume everything because I’ve read ahead and it defo is not “fuckboy cured by love” he changes on his own wayyyyyy before he met Min.
What are you talking about did you not just read the same flashback story as we did? It’s literally implied that Min becomes a catalyst of change for him it’s been said from the very beginning. That’s the literal premise of why he’s sought out Min for so long. Lol reading comprehension
Before insulting MY reading comprehension did you not see that I read ahead????? I literally said that in my first sentence. I've read up to chapter 60+ so I know way more than u lmao
The chapter suggested that he was attracted to him not that he was the reason for his change. That's all explained in the later chapters
Which when we are first introduced to him he very much says so himself he’s been searching for Min because he wants to thank him for an “unknown” event in his life that has significantly impacted him. I don’t remember the chapter but your welcome to find it, it’s towards the introductory he does the whole club thing to see if Min is even gay but itself to get closer to him in general
My point is Min still is part of his evolution. You’re implying that Min had NO part whatsoever which isn’t at all the case.
There’s nothing wrong with liking this story nor is it a bad one. But it very much is a cliched story.
Plain Jane/Joe x playboy is as old as time. You can blame Romeo and Juliet for hyping that shit up.
And you reading ahead doesn’t change how the story was started. I’m simply stating a fact. You have more context sure, but unless the author has now decided to ignore the very basis of how this plot began my point still stands.
How did I know we were going to get the I was as a piece of shit fuckboy backstory, his self loathing just reeked of it from the get go and it’s practically the quintessential cliche BL archetype. The ridiculously attractive ML falls for the innocent charms of the plain looking MC. It’s so cliched it’ hurts. God I was hoping we’d get a second male lead who’s just a genuinely nice guy who doesn’t have some sordid past or shallow mystery surrounding him. The plot is cute but you could have seen this a mile a way if you’ve read enough BL, it ‘s it was clear those hating on the ex GF clearly weren’t paying attention to the finer details of the plot for why and when was the rumored spread of our ML being gay unless he demonstrated somehow or indicated he was gay. And if it was rumors that were enough to stick and not be seen as baseless jealousy of a popular guy. Especially when in the present he’s acting closeted. There’s like a million fuckboy cured by love plots. I Have no fucks to give anymore.
