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.
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.
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...
I TAKE BACK QUESTION 2, IT LOOKS LIKE SPOILERS ARE REAL!
Sheeee that's cool ngl
Someone posted a link to the novel in previous comments, you can even confirm it yourself!
I might be reading this wrong, and I also can't help but agree with everyone who says it's definitely Stockholm syndrome, but there's something about MC's eyes when he looks straight at ML whenever he's expressionless. ML calls it "being pretty," but it is also when MC is coldly analyzing ML and reevaluating his own situation.
If we weren't privy to his thoughts, I'd think it's just a case of Stockholm syndrome, sure, but I don't think that's the case. Not entirely, at least.
I'm not sure where it'll go from here. But it feels like, although MC is STILL attracted to Kangwoo, he is also sober. He also understands he has no choice at the moment but to follow this lunatic's logic if he wants to survive. At the same time, I can't shake this feeling that MC won't just stay put forever. If anyone has spoilers, they're more than welcome! Lol.
I agree with you on that the MC is not completely broken to the point he thinks he’s in love or that the ML is in love with him, all the way through the end he knows he just can’t escape from his situation, every time he tried to call it love or lovers he couldn’t even in the end he couldn’t, he’s aware is an abusive relationship, but he also admits that leaving this person is scarier bc we know that person will drag him to hell if he tries or even say something about leaving, right from the start he never had choice, even if asked the ML not leave him we know is bc feels like there’s no place for him to start anew!
The author just gave him a shitty situation with loan sharks looking for and the ML being an obsessive jerk but at least with the jerk he can somehow please it by playing along that ML. Is just a shitty situation, but I don’t think he’s still attracted to him but rather bc of the hot and cold attitude the ML has towards him is difficult for him to fully hate him or want him out he’s life completely and he also knows how dependent he has become of him due to the ML conditioning!
I wish I could edit my comment bc of the grammar mistakes
I wish I could edit the grammar mistakes
i agree lol, he still loves him. they are in a relationship, but the power inbalance is so drastic that u cant call it a normal relationship. to mc, this relationship is both surviving and living
Arghhh I get this feeling so much! I also wish we could upvote comments because I totally agree with what you said! Let me reply to that comment instead :)
Yes to everything! I believe it is not love nor affection, it's choosing the lesser evil according to his current circumstances. Perhaps it IS affection, albeit a twisted kind. What I do enjoy is knowing MC KNOWS how abusive and twisted the whole situation is, and that ML is delusional for even considering what they have as a 'loving' relationship (as in, of romantic nature). That's also why I really want to see if MC will do anything at all, even if it takes a LOT of time, to get himself out of that situation... or if he chooses to stay and manipulate ML so he has the upper hand instead. We'll see! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I tend to avoid stories whose sole plot revolves around a lack of communication, particularly when characters have always been into each other but don't get together for YEARS because they're dumb like that. I thought this one would be fine because it's cute and I love the art style. I had also heard ML was the obsessive/possessive type.
But they reeeeeally get on my nerves :) especially in chapter 34, when the MC says, "The answer had always been in front of us, how silly we are." My, a good slap to both of you is due!!!
This said, it is my fault since I KNOW how I feel about this kind of story and I still decided to read it. It is actually a nice story, I like the characters for the most part, and I really love the art style. I just needed to vent my frustrations, if you enjoy them going in circles without ever communicating until waaaaay into the story... then this is for you!
Update: I forgive them because they're just too into each other and that's hot!
I'm obsessed with this and For You Who Grieves. How am I supposed to feel satisfied reading anything else when I've read such peak works back to back??? It's a shame, a huge shame really ┗( T﹏T )┛
Can't wait for the epilogue and side stories, we're waiting for you baby Iseo! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Any recommendations for similar plots? Doesn't have to be guideverse specifically, more like one side messes up and gets sent to the past to fix that... and on the plot-heavy side, maybe? ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
This is my first guideverse, so I'm very open to more like this, too!
I got you!!
i have to be a great villain, i became the lousy side top, turning, how to raise a victim, monochrome rumor, kill the lights, stuck in my sister’s dating sim, inner beauty, again, redeem: only one forever
As for guideverses/hunterverses, “death delayed for a short time because of the will” is really good.
OMG!!! You're an angel, thank you SO much for all of these recommendations!!! I suddenly have lots to read haha! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
No problem love, I hope you enjoy them!
This regression trope, particularly with an MC in showbiz and ML as corporate CEO, has been huge for a while in danmei... I really hope we get to see more novel adaptations and manhwa with this trope! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
That being said... It's definitely not the best I've read, but it's still cute, and I like their relationship for the most part. It felt quite rushed towards the end, but I guess most things got solved one way or another.
One difference with danmei is that another popular trope in these storylines is when their relationship is finally public and then they get married. I kinda hoped to see that, but this is fine too, I guess?
Wait wait wait, I agree for most of what you said but the audacity of you not to drop them recs after saying you’ve read others
My apologies, but I've read far too many to name drop BWAHAHA! ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
However, here are some of my favorites (please go to 'novelupdates . com' and search for them, you can see reviews and links there!)
My Husband is Suffering from a Terminal Illness
Accidental Mark (RARE transmigration seme MC! + omegaverse)
Rebirth of a Movie Star

If I remember correctly, they all deal with showbiz. Hope it helps!
How far along are we in comparison to the novel...? I want to know more or less until when the blonde jerk will realize he's been brainwashed too. I need to see him crash out fr (〜￣△￣)〜
