yaoi hits so good when one guy is immensely terrified.
i guess you are always to dislike the main character however it’s boring to assume every main character will be angelic, pure, selfless <insert mary sue qualities> etc. stories are inspired by life, human experiences and true to word…people are…nuanced. so yeah doi maybe be selfish when it comes to wanting love and confessing his love to baba. but i’d go as far to say he’s actually selfless in a way. he acknowledged baba’s rejection and still decided to help prevent baba’s sister’s death. you may think his intention for doing that is to prevent baba from leaving but i think his true intention to prevent baba from experiencing loss and grief that come from losing on the most important people in his life. he saw how distraught baba was to the point he became reticent and reserved. he likes baba so he wants him to be happy. maybe that’s selfish. but then according to some comments…we’d all be considered selfish if wanted love and those we love to be happy and not be hurt…and he doesn’t even know who baba senpai’s future spouse is (therefore cannot deduce the fact that the future spouse was the sister’s bf) and baba senpai has said he doesn’t want to date doi…so, has doi really broken up a relationship…if it hasn’t happened? he’s very timid and shy and kinda awkward. the actions align with his characterisation. you can’t expect him to behave the way you would behave in that situation cuz you’re not him.
what i find so interesting about ‘going-back-in-time-plots’ is that the mcs are always kinda chill about it and get focused on WHY they went back….tbh if i went back to the time i was 17 and in high school my first instinct would be to kill myself. like i’m not doing THAT (teenagehood) again.
what happens when an immovable object( j.j’s korean heritage) meets an unstoppable force (bratty leo’s south european charisma)
not his stupid ass going to the computer when della is literally like 3 steps from him…lol
jinwoo is so pretty true true i can't wait for them to get si intimate they can't keep their hands off each other:)
byul has a such a sparkly and goofy face he rlly is hyesung’s kid
for a guy who wants to deal with his confused feelings and go separate ways he’s surely not doing well…taking a stupid ass approach…this is what u call brain neurodegeneration.
i just want ian to be happppppyyyyyyyyyy pleassseeeeeeeee
so dohyun knows who wooyeon actually is! i.e. the kid he tutored! that’s why he’s taking care of him too. and i think he also has a crush on wooyeon. anyway i miss flashback chubby baby wooyeon. what a cutie
…you maybe think wooyeon (ch23+) is being irrational but u have to consider the fact he is being held captive…what else do you think would happen to a person being held captive yet also having an intimate relationship with their captor? of course stockholm syndrome. and it wouldn’t make sense to most people who aren’t in that situation. he is not psychologically well. he has been mentally and physically tortured by jaeha. he realizes that in his situation, the only way to get away from his prison is to grovel and apologize at jaeha’s lap and convince him he loves him. so that jaeha won’t torture him by leaving him locked up in a dark room indefinitely . it’s a common tactic for victims in captivity. and because he mentally unwell, he also manages to convince himself he loves jaeha, as a way to escape the reality of the matter or as a way to create this safe illusion that both him and jaeha are truly in love and happy or he will have to reckon with the fact he’s apologising and pandering to his captor. that’s why u jinwoo’s method of “rescue and therapy” doesn’t work. shouting at wooyeon that he’s a victim and that the man he’s convinced himself he “loves” is bad and will do more bad things to him cannot work. he is not operating on the level of mental stability that jinwoo is.
it may have many negative reviews but i actually enjoyed reading it. i kinda especially enjoyed jaeha’s and jinwoo’s characters. jaeha is blatantly and irredeemably cruel here you can say…however i think that jinwoo and jaeha are two sides of the same coin. jinwoo’s attempt at rescuing wooyeon leaves wooyeon trapped in his house with little agency(more than at jaeha’s ofc). but jinwoo also…in a way wants to keep wooyeon to himself. he’s just a little more covert and nice guy savior in his approach. and i like how the author was initially portraying jinwoo as a savior-type character just to later show that jinwoo’s advice was actually the reason and the catalyst behind jaeha’s brutal actions. he’s not innocent or guilt-free. however i think it’s easier to empathize with him and root for him because despite him kinda ruining wooyeon’s life, he reckons with his previous actions and kinda tortures himself in poignancy.
and quick question but what the fuck does jinwoo do..like for work. he’s never working and is always chasing after wooyeon. and he’s in his 30s so he definitely must have a career. why is it never brought up even in passing? we never get to really know much about him if it’s not in his proximity to jaeha and wooyeon. he just perpetually orbits around them.
i wonder how the author will take the narrative going forward because from the get-go this was giving psychosexual bl drama thriller…like it’s gay as hell but i find it hard seeing romance become a main theme in the narrative for now.
sir mugo what’s your glute workout routine. double cheeked up so aggressively on a friday morning…god bless.
it’s always so disappointing when parents cover up their children’s terrible & harmful behavior but what’s to expect when the child they raised turned out that way.
he’s quite pretty i kinda forget he’s not okay in the head…like omg how dare u torture him like that…that’s NOT cutieful of you.
gunjoon and his sunbae needs to sit down and talk and address the sunbae’s notorious fuckboy persona that’s going around and get clarification from his sunbae about what they both want from each other or gunjoon is going to worry himself to death.
“i know. that doesn’t really matter to me. i like you gunjoon” lmao.
dr kim kinda sucks as a scientist and or researcher because how do you inject the vaccine and the make an immediate conjunction. ill think he is being influenced by anti-rebel sentiments that are so deep ingrained that he doesn’t attempt to view the testing from a pragmatic perspective and he’s quick to dismiss the rebel’s vaccine as a failure. if dr.seok didn’t tell him to wait, he would have make a quick and inaccurate inference. it’s like he doesn’t know how vaccines work lol. he’s also very sus and giving rainbow city elitist it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
