for anyone who think dohyeok deserves the sad ending despite being the only role with character development. i need yall to read ch 118 again siwoo drugged, raped and waterboard dohyeok. how come siwoo doesn't face any consequence? if every bad guy deserve sad ending why is it only dohyeok?
oh because siwoo is suha's bestie is that why? he got a free pass that mean he can get away anything lol.
the same person who got a hate boner woth dohyeok probably the same one who cry tears of joy if character like jaekyung from jinx got a little cute ArC reDemPtion lol what a joke

Since Siwoo raped Dohyeok, isn’t it fine that they don’t end up together anyway? I get that it sucks for him to not have a happy ending but they were just too messy to be together.
They both did wrongs to each other. Siwoo assaulted Dohyeok after getting provoked, and Dohyeok went after Siwoo’s family in an attempt to get Siwoo to be with him. They’re both terrible and most importantly too prideful to normally communicate with each other. It’s fine that they’re not together right now — the author left the story open ended anyway.

Not rly open ended
(1) DH with his lingering feeling for SW.
(2) SW being an asshole kissing another man in front of DH but look like he actually didn't want it.
If it's open ended should have been end with the scene DH moving away.
Tbh if they ended with DH crying wanting to be a better man for SW, and just move out it'll be bit better than the current ending.
SW is not that innocent either, he has led DH into many misleading, taking care of him when he was in his lowest but also throw him away when he finally start caught feeling.

It’s white collar crime, though. Dohyeok used his connections to personally go after a business maliciously — depending on the country there are legal repercussions to doing that. Anyway my point is the way the story went is that the two of them did extreme things to each other that’s difficult to forgive so maybe it is better they don’t end up together and work on themselves first.

Why are you so mad? Why do you need it to be confirmed a crime for the wrongness to be equivalent? Their hurts doesn’t need to be equivalent — they wronged each other, they don’t know how to fix it and not being together is actually what’s better for the both of them. Dohyeok now has an opportunity to move on with his life in another country.

what exactly made you think i was mad? the capitalization of certain words? that's not how it works. and as i said, i need confirmation because siwoo's defenders always need solid evidence for his crimes to be acknowledged as well, although most of them choose to remain blind regardless. but anyway, the reason the ending is bad is because dohyeok will NOT be moving on even though he accepted the rejection, just because siwoo pulled that move in the end. they didn't equally wrong each other, and at the very least, at least dohyeok apologized and tried to change, when siwoo did none of that.

Your tone sounded mad, if you’re not then you’re not ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I’m not defending Siwoo though lol I said they’re bad for each other and since Siwoo’s a rapist and they’ve both done extreme things to hurt each other (because yeah, while it’s not as bad as rape, ruining the livelihoods of others to blackmail your crush is bad!!) then it’s better for Dohyeok to not be with him. They’re both still into each other now but just use your imagination to think Dohyeok will eventually get over him.

Bruh you’re so Dohyeok-blind and thinks he can do no wrong — he seriously was fucking with Siwoo’s family and trying to blackmail the guy into a relationship. That’s not as bad as rape but that’s still fucked lol
I love the side story because the two of them are messy as hell — Dohyeok is a narcissist that thinks his money can solve everything including his own gangrape and Siwoo is falling for the guy that assaulted his best friend and it’s confusing his dick, but I’m not blind at all that they’re toxic both as individuals and together. I wish the side story could go on longer because I love a mess but it’s the author’s decision and we can only have headcanons for how their lives went on after this.

i won't deny that i love dohyeok an unhealthy amount, but i would never turn a blind eye to his actions. and yes, even from a neutral pov, what he did wasn't a crime, the "blackmailing" was always an empty threat, siwoo never took it seriously. i too loved this story because they were both toxic, but being toxic and being a criminal are different things. also, at least he tried to change, unlike siwoo.

I really need you to reread the series again without the Dohyeok bias. He is a narcissist that thinks all his problems can be solved through power and connections, and he was serious with using it to blackmail Siwoo into staying with him. It’s only “empty” in that it didn’t end up that way because Siwoo got hurt and that finally got Dohyeok to feel guilty and accept an overseas job, but had the accident not happen Dohyeok was definitely intending to use his power and influence to keep his relationship with Siwoo going. That’s the kind of complicated trashbag of a man he is — it’s why he’s interesting to me because he’d rather self-sabotage himself and force someone to love him than actually take real steps for love and affection.

i think you're the one who needs to re-read the story, because if he was being serious he could have sabotaged siwoo's bar and family since the beginning after he got drugged and raped by siwoo out of nowhere. in one of his inner monologues, we also get to see that he only used those threats to keep siwoo tied to him because siwoo kept ghosting him again and again. he did all that because he literally had no one and siwoo was the only one he had, so he wanted that connection to last longer. i am not saying his methods were correct or justified, but considering his upbringing and personality, he could have been way worse. and i have liked dohyeok since his first appearance in the main story BECAUSE of his personality. yeah he is a narcissist who believes money solves everything, so what? that's how he was brought up, and that's what has always been the case for him. that's why i liked his pairing with siwoo because siwoo can't be controlled with money. and btw regarding that overseas job, he didn't accept it out of guilt of hurting siwoo, he had no choice but to accept it because he can't say no to his grandma, the president. and he did take steps to change but as we could all see, the ending was rushed and awfully written so he ended up getting hurt in the worst way possible. a little amount of media literacy will help you understand his character beyond his past actions.

It’s so funny how you insist on woobifying him, and ignore how for all his sad loneliness, his self sabotaging impulses always win out against actually treating better (which again is what makes him a good character in my eyes). You love him but only so you can baby and coddle him. No wonder this ending is making you go insane lol like I know it’s rushed but I still enjoyed it for the tragedy that it is and I can just dream up headcanons in the future. You’re absolutely broken up that Dohyeok has never gotten a moment of happiness in his life instead of accepting that it’s partly his own fault that he doomed himself into another failed relationship. It’s ok buddy just write a fanfic.

your superiority complex and constant need to make others feel low of themselves just so that YOU can feel right about yourself is perplexing, but it's not something new at this point. a story can be interpreted in many ways, you kept seeing dohyeok's bad side because that's what you wanted, and i kept hoping for him to find happiness, neither of us has to be wrong but your holier than thou attitude is the problem here. whether i write a fanfic or remain "broken" is upto me, i don't remember asking for advice, especially from narcissists on an illegal reading website.

LOL how am I holier than thou bro I looooove that Dohyeok is a garbage man, him being pathetic until the end is delightful to me. You’re the one insisting on the good in him when the story has time and time again shown that in the face of goodwill, Dohyeok is so broken he’ll reject it or react to it violently because he thinks he’s being pitied and looked down on. For all your talk about media literacy you do not understand what makes your favorite character interesting at all and you just look at him like a kicked puppy completely innocent from the abused that happened to him, and not him as a feral dog that placed himself in a cycle of abuse because power and money are the only things he knows how to use.

Oh please it’s so obvious that you think the author ruined the amazing Dohyeok redemption arc you had in your head. Now you get so pissed off you even come for people that ALSO like Dohyeok just because fans like me don’t hate on Siwoo enough. Coming at me just because I said the two of them hurt each other and are messy and maybe it’s better if they don’t end up together — trying to place weighing scales on their crimes as if Siwoo hurting Dohyeok more means that all the shit Dohyeok pulled don’t matter. Get a grip on your bias, you give Dohyeok fans a bad name.

so you made up your own narrative and now you're getting mad at me for it? must be nice being so delusional, maybe that's why you asked me to wrote fanfics or something. btw idrc if you hate siwoo or not, i just stated facts that that their wrong actions weren't nearly equal, and i always take into consideration that different people have different opinions, i only have a problem with false information. "us dohyeok fans" oh please, don't lump me in with the likes of you.

For someone who can supposedly take other people’s different opinions you spend so much time yapping in the comments section looking for others who will agree with you on hating Siwoo for not suffering as much as Dohyeok and calling people media illiterate for not having the same feelings about the ending as you. Maybe actually take your own advice.

everyone beating the author's ass on twitter yall give her a break what if she decides to stop doing siwoo and dohyeok story entirely because of the hate

Yeah like what was the point of the side story???? It got so much more popular than the main story, and this is the ending the author decided!???!?!!! If she just wanted DK to suffer, this could've just been included in the main story. I wanted to see DK try to become a better person, understand his past mistakes ESPECIALLY AFTER THE GANGRA*E. And finally find love and get his happy ending too. Shitty MC like jaehyuk from "jinx" and that guy from "no reason" (who are like 100 times more worse than DK) got happy ending. Good thing I didn't waste my money on this crap.
everytime i feel like im falling in love with this manhwa i just remember the first chapter im like god why does it end up that way
What do you mean ?
the first five panel in the first chapter ( where the bottom was chained and rap4) are the future which mean everything we read from ch 2 until now are basically the past.
Thx
Omg. It took me at least three tries to get past the first chapter. I've been better ever since but still. I have to try to not remember that scene but it just haunts me almost every chapter. I'm in suspense!!!
How did you MISS that?!?
