Not to defend the manhwa, but I guess it reached the wrong audience to have so much unnecessary hate toward it.

Maybe it's because I've been reading a lot of dark-themed, toxic manhwas lately with a dash of the obsessive/manipulating ML... but this one is rather tame in comparison. I kept reading everywhere that it was incredibly dark and the like, but no, it's actually developed exactly as I expected from the initial setting. I mean, it's a state spy and a mafia dude. And the comment sections of those other manhwa aren't nearly as dramatic as the people here, are y'all okay...? No harm in simply stepping away from it if it makes you so uncomfortable?

Again, not justifying the manhwa nor certain elements of it, but I'M surprised people ARE surprised of the way the events unfolded. Did you bother reading the tags and/or content warnings beforehand? I think it is up to every individual to engage with content, this means dealing with the consequences as well. I don't get why there's so much unnecessary drama, even dragging other manhwa to this comment section.

    the reason it gets so much hate is because of how extreme it is along with the fact that the novel is way worse, and the story does not get better it gets worse over time in the novel if you read it it's terrible like killing stalking level of terrible if not worse

    I see now, thank you for your reply!

    I'm not familiar with the novel and all I know is what we've seen here so far. I understand people that don't like it, but I wonder why they are still here then? And most of the complaining I've seen so far is actually people who haven't even read the novel/barely read the manhwa and are just going off based on gossip and theories... I think you'd at least give it a try or not interact with it at all if it makes you THAT uncomfortable... imho, at least. But well (=・ω・=)

    The thing is, like I said, I've been reading these type of dark-themed BLs for a while now, and never had I seen this level of drama in the comment section (aside from Jinx I guess). Because you usually have a specific audience for it that, regardless, will enjoy the content for its nature. But it's the first time I see such 'nature' being the issue... as if ppl reading didn't know what type of content they're consuming?

    And well, I won't comment on which deserves hate more because to each their own. I'd rather not interact with something I hate than to hate on it...

    thing is, too, people are obviously aware of both manhwa's being dark themed but it seriously pisses me off when hate is not delivered equally. imagine my surprise when i see jinx flooded with shit comments and when i switch to codename anastasia, all it's talking about is the new art style and how zhenya looks good. be so fucking for real like stop this madness. i, too, would rather not hate on something i know of its genre, but this is absolutely ridiculous. if yall are gonna hate on jinx, hate on this too or just stop reading overall because this MONSTER zhenya is a fucking abomination

    I guess that it's because the expectations for both are very different. With Zhenya, we KNOW he is a psychopath and grew up in an environment that, rather than stop his twisted personality, encouraged it. He has never been a victim but has always been a perpetrator (from what we've seen so far). People expect very little of him to begin with.

    On the other hand, Jaekyung WAS a victim and became a perpetrator. Despite the horrible people around him (we know who), he still had a lot of good-natured people around him and he is... well, just a regular civilian. This is why readers might feel he deserves more hate, perhaps? Because he still operates under civil and moral laws... sort of. I'm not saying the hate is deserved or anything btw, this is definitely a case of double standards but this is what I think might be it seeing the characters, their stories, and comments from other fans...

I UNDERSTAND why we're all talking about daddy top, one of my favorite tops now and I sincerely hope he doesn't disappoint me until the end because hands down he deserves a spot at the top of my list.

HOWEVER, can we talk about how utterly beautiful Yuan is? Istg the author made it their life mission to have the cutest, sweetest, prettiest bottom. He's just too damn pretty, the amount of time I've spent just staring at his panels and going "damn, he's pretty." HELP!!! ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σ

dagrandesibuna July 7, 2025 1:56 pm

That was very unnecessary. MC could have simply said idk and move on, instead of talking about someone else's business (that ML didn't agree to) and denying ML the opportunity for his friends to simply get used to the fact that he's gay (since he decided to come out to them). It's as bad as if MC had outed ML as gay when ML wasn't ready for it. There was 0 need to bring an imaginary girl into this.

No, MC didn't need to come out to them at all. If he isn't ready, that's alright, and I'm sure ML understands that. But it's an entirely different topic whatever the heck he did because he panicked. No matter how 'realistic' some ppl claim it to be, this was a BAD move by the author. All they did was regress MC's development and for us to feel even more annoyed with him (sorry, I am from the team that finds MC hella annoying since they started dating lol).

I would have liked them to at least have a conversation afterwards, maybe next chapter we will. But that left a bad taste in my mouth, I'll let this be for a while ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

    I LOVED In My Closet! It was such a refreshing series back when it first came out. Can't compare this at all.

Can anyone kindly let me know what chapters cover this in the novel? I keep seeing comments saying how it was much better handled there and I would like to read it ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

dagrandesibuna July 2, 2025 12:50 am

Quite literally everyone, especially MC's brother, have done everything in their power to belittle MC and make things worse for MC and ML. I'm on chapter 32-33 and Sunwoo had finally figured out that maybe ML wants to stay together with him and them raising the baby together... but then brother goes onto say how he's stupid to even think that's a possibility and blah blah blah.

It's infuriating, why the heck are you treating someone you supposedly love that way? Also, you're doing him sooooo badly. MC isn't the brightest and I know it's ML's fault for never being clear, but the characters around MC don't help just make things worse.

All of my frustration is literally everyone but MC, so that says a lot. ML's brother? Really the only character I can forgive (the one giving good advice).

    dagrandesibuna July 2, 2025 1:11 am

    Update: I'm only on MC's side.

    i agree w u but i think everyone’s like that since ml always rejected him and shit, but he still shouldn’t have said those things to him and lowkey should’ve at least said something like “maybe he wants to be friends” instead of saying “he’ll never love you” bro sounded like a disney villain tbh

    Yeah, I know this is all because of ML in the first place. But at the same time everyone here LOVES assuming things rather than just saying "you know what? Idk, talk to him" pretty much what ML's brother IS doing. Their phrasing just isn't it, and they trynna pass this for comedy? It's just infuriating to me lol.

    At least bro is gone for now (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

dagrandesibuna June 28, 2025 10:00 am

I am TRYING to be a bigger person and understand that it's been 7 years for both of them and that both are victims of their father. I would really want ML to at least have a good relationship with his brother and mother...

But NOPE lol, I still dislike the brother greatly because he didn't really face any consequences. I understand he is actively trying to better his relationship with ML and that he's apologized many times in the past. I also appreciate that the brother never really pushes ML to meet, seeing as how ML hasn't seen his SIL in all this time nor ever met his niece.

BUT part of the reason why he apologized started from their mother telling him how much he wronged his little brother and his own guilt once he actually fell in love with the girl. I don't think he genuinely apologized the first time, more like he realized ML cut off his family because of his father and him (the brother). He realized he had messed up their family more than it already was. And he probably felt guilty toward his mother.

And what's that "your sister-in-law misses you"? I know the girl probably really likes ML as a person (as a little brother) but that felt like... he was trying to guilt-trip him somehow. Idk why, I can't explain it, but it felt slimy. I hope ML keeps maintaining his distance from them (I only feel sorry for the mom tbh).

And I won't talk about Doha here because this would get too long. But I didn't really like him this episode either ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

    This is why I lowkey disliked Doha this episode and when he asked ML to meet his family. ML was pretty vocal about disliking his family and not wanting to meet them, but he insisted. Not only did he insist, he also used the "well they're your family and I'll meet them eventually anyway" which is TRUE... but also completely disregarded ML's feelings...

    He has a right to meet them I guess and his thoughts are also valid. It's a complex situation and I'm petty so LOL

    A monster? Damn but I guess makes sense considering his personality + the effect of the magic.

    Although I don't blame them 100% since they were indeed brainwashed, I think someone mentioned that the magic doesn't make them hate FL or anything like that. It was more along the lines of amplifying certain emotions (their "love" for the other) but they're still 'themselves' to a certain extent. I think what they meant is that, magic aside, they're jerks... they were just extra nice to FL in the past but their personalities really aren't that good.

    I don't know because I haven't read it myself so I'll keep reading here, maybe I'm completely wrong and they aren't that bad?

dagrandesibuna June 17, 2025 10:45 am

Sorry I crashed out and cried for a couple of hours, then remembered I didn't say anything about Jinhyeong's dad--THAT PIECE OF TRASH.

Despite everything, Jinhyeong tried believing in him AGAIN. To give him a SECOND CHANCE. He went all "you're my only son, I'll do everything for you" then turned his back on him the minute he stopped being the 'perfect' doll he wanted. He betrayed and rejected him during his WORSE period. He never tried understanding why his SON was borderline suicidal, heavily depressed, and unwilling to interact with anyone outside of his home.

He doesn't deserve to be a father. I'm glad Jinheyong cut him off eventually. This was the only way he was truly able to start healing. I know we'll probably see his parents in the future at some point, but I'm sure he'll be able to face them at that time.

dagrandesibuna June 17, 2025 7:55 am

They were so young. They hurt themselves and hurt each other in the process. But they're also working hard, albeit separately, to better themselves so they can face each other in the future. I wish nothing but the best for them, and I'm sure that that promised cup of coffee isn't that far away.

I also love how Jinhyeong still very much cherishes the photos they took together and remembers him once in a while. They permeated each other's lives. Him being able to share all of this with Uyun also means that he's healing, so I'm also happy about that! Can't wait for more.

dagrandesibuna June 16, 2025 2:57 am

Been digging around to see why it was cancelled or if it was cancelled at all. I haven't been able to find anything substantial.

1. Do we know the reason why it was dropped? I understand we had a little less than a hundred chapters to finish, according to the novel.

2. Are spoilers about Yuseong and Dojin true? I've been seeing this everywhere but there's also barely anyone who have finished the novel... although I also want them together, it just doesn't feel like the author would do that considering the type of audience they initially had.

This had been ongoing for YEARS. Makes no sense to suddenly drop it like that... either something happened with the original studio or...
