Just started this and can't believe it's not at ten stars. The art and writing is better than 99% of the other titles here. Tragedy tag is scaring me tho, I usually avoid those.
I hate how sharp the father is. Taeheon is going to have to level his game up in order to best him.
Folx expectations of characters acting like "mature adults" and acting like "real human beings" always come off as incredibly naive to me. Have you stepped outside and looked at the world lately...? Don't you have friends? Or just exist among different human groups. I wonder if you realise that if your own lives were made into a webtoon how contrived and "immature" and stupid many of your actions would seem to the reader. (I know mine would. But also he's got crazy untreated trauma and history of abuse. Of course, his decision making skills are whack.)
From a different angle, sometimes I think those kind of critiques make sense and sometimes I wonder if we don't realize how completely bonkers these plots are and the line we draw on what's "contrived" is hilarious . If Sejoon was the sensible adult human mature wisdom titan there's no way he should have allowed some random mafia dude to take over his life in the first place...and certainly *after* the reveal he shouldn't ask for *time* he should maybe plan to leave the country to escape all these obsessive psychos, one of whom takes a pledge of love to 5 year old seriously.
Omg the artist change has just about ruined this for me! I was ready to continue reading in Tappytoon but the change is too drastic. Lemme go back and unsubscribe 'cause nu uh. I hope Bada is okay and the change didn't happen for health reasons.
Sir, you are very dunce. That's all I have to say.
Everyone has been keeping secrets from him. Poor ting. :(
This comment section has me howling. No one has time for Do-yoon.
I thought he took cooking classes? RIP to those office workers.
Mind you the way it's written predisposes folx to sympathize with Taehon. (And dick gobbling as Sejun's immediate response is truly a bad/ridiculous writer decision please lol.) But what's not clicking? Taehon was involved in the murder of one parent and the permanent disabling of another even if it was as a helpless pawn. Is Sejun supposed to get over that in 5 minutes? Do your parents hate you that much that you can't figure out why Sejun is angry and thoughts of "he was a child" aren't particularly helpful in his processing of this traumatic reveal? Is it that difficult to discern how unmoored he feels in learning that the person who helped him escape his deceptive, manipulative cousin was also actively deceiving him in turn? (Which is why he has put things back on purely transactional terms.) That indeed he was connected to the circumstances that placed him in that abusive situation. From his pov this is a fucking horror show he can't escape. The writer isn't actually giving this development the weight it deserves...which is exactly why you're all annoyed and mad at Sejun (also you too are dick addled) so...nevermind. Carry on lol. Boo Sejun you hor. (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Me: Damn, bredda looks crazed.
Him: He looks like a kid in a candy shop.
Me: ...you should probably have that kid checked out.
(Later)
Him: Those are the kind eyes I'm used to!
I started out wanting Ian and Joseph together. I know so many prefer the lead that will have man dodging bullets and being targeted in his enemy's gangbang revenge plot but I love the sweet and supportive type who bakes bread and takes his man out to watch meteor showers, always!
Love (that involves respect and trust) cannot be about lies, secrets and manipulation until you're forced to tell the truth. We understand why Taehon hid the truth from him but it was wrong. Period. He had time to tell Sejun the truth and he didn't because of his guilt over a terrible secret. He was a child then and a victim, yes. But so was Sejun. And as adults Taehon chose to treat Sejun as if he was still 5 so he could perform the rescue he couldn't then but in the process made Sejun a victim of others machinations and manipulations all over again.
He has every right to feel betrayed and to conclude that Taehon was only using him. If for nothing Sejun should have had the choice of deciding if he wanted to become this emotionally entangled with someone connected to the most traumatic, painful part of his life. I for sure wouldn't. There is not enough therapy money or good dick in the world.
(I mean OBV I want them to end up together. I am here for the fucked up storylines and over the top angst. But if Sejun heard this story and his reaction was "OMG, you really do love me. " I would have thought he was deaf or crack addled.)
These webtoons are so funny with these bottoms waking up thinking it was all a dream. HOW. Is your ass not about to drop out and off? Please.
I can't believe we went through that FOREVER flashback arc which ended in death only to return to a present that brings the same characters and readers back to (what feels like) the exact same point. It's a repetition of all the same beats. I get the story logic of it but I find the repetition tedious and bereft of all tension. Alive, dead, whatever, all I want at this point is a solid development in which the characters get to do and be something else damn.
So, I'll share a link: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7292083/. For a quote:
"Female ejaculation or squirting is a well‐known phenomenon among urologists, but there are no scientific articles on mSQ, despite this term being widely used in mass media. In this case study, we describe the first recording of mSQ using color Doppler ultrasonography. We show that mSQ is a phenomenon in which urine in the bladder gushes out from the external urethral orifice due to strong contraction of prostate and pelvic striated muscles, if penile stimulation is continued after ejaculation. These results provide the first scientific basis for a publicly known phenomenon." msQ= male squirting
*Anyway* back to the story:
We are truly at the bottom of the barrel when someone wearing a condom and being a considerate human being is "sexy" why am I still here with this story. Sigh. :(
Where is the badass omega that opened this title? All he does now is bow to whatever this asshole wants. Why are creators' imaginations so limited when it comes to writing for omega characters. Those slaps aren't impressive if it's just going to be followed by a whimper and a "I have to do what he wants to save my alpha cry cry." Come up with a plan, ffs.
Okay but why does the child have to be present for Hot Grandpa’s Bigoted Dinner Hour? He doesn’t have a nice maid they could have left him with?
The boss was very obviously out of line on every point like what do some of y’all mean. Doesn’t turn up when he said he would, doesn’t explain why or apologize, then verbally harasses him about a potential job decision that is professionally and personally none of his business unless and until his subordinate chooses to make it so. Our boy overthinks, sure, but the boss is an inconsistent jerkwad and always has been. I’d have told him to do a lot more than “shut up”.
He is not the worst red flag I've read but somehow he comes off as so sinister. Ugh.
