I haven't read this in a while can someone fill me in on who is the white haired guy with the mole?
I always go back here whenever I'm yearning to feel extreme angst. It's done so well imo. And it's one of the few stories where I kind of accept the red flag because it made sense for the to hate yeonduk (not justified but it made sense). And the payoff of him regretting his actions was just so satisfying. The only criticism I have for this is that it felt like it was cut too short. Like, there could have been more but everything was concluded in a single chapter.
I miss seyeong's earlier design. It feels like author decided to make him look more feminine by enlarging his eyes. Next thing we know his whole face is just going to be his eyes.
I suddenly remembered about this manga so I got curious and it has two endings??? What was the point of every thing that happened if that would just be the case? The author got no balls if they can't commit to a single ending if you ask me.
Is Chaeheon acoustic or something?? Also, the miscommunication trope needs to rest. It was cute until before they went to the military but after that it's just tiring
Same author as Haruka Tooki Ie and that freaking tragedy tag... Someone's going to die ┗( T﹏T )┛
So the seme was 20 and the uke was 21 when the uke raped the seme and enlisted. Uke entered the dungeon 5 years after which makes seme 25 and uke 26. And then he got stuck there for 10 years, making him 36 and the seme 35. So you're telling me that at the grown age of 35, the seme is still as immature as he was when he was 20. And what he thought was the best reunion gift to his (kind of) older brother is to rape said older brother after he suffered in a dungeon for 10 years. Uke was wrong and disgusting for raping seme but seme was even more wrong and more disgusting for doing what he did aT THE RIPE AGE OF 35!? Was intrigued by the premise of this but why rape as a plot device??? Both the main characters are rapists and the seme had a few panels in the current timeline but he's already insufferable.
Kinda want to see the bartender and tawada'a story. Did they just stay friends or..??? They seem close enough to watch movies together but is there more?? Although I do think it's nice that the bartender moved on.
So many things I love about this. I love how this sequel delves more into Misaki's insecurities. I love how cute they are. I love that little dream sequence. Also find it funny how Mikado's love for sucking dick developed because of what happened before,, something just awakened within him
They're obviously going to fuck. And I also feel iffy about this whole scenario. Like, at what point do you see a child you raised as a love interest?? Although he didn't groom hyo-un because he genuinely saw himself as his guardian. He was with him for a whole decade!! Until recently, he saw him as a teenager at most and then hyo un suddenly grew into an adult. You dont suddenly see someone as an adult just because their appearance changed. And he still obviously sees him as the child he raised. I just don't like this trope. It reminds me of how I felt with Usagi Drop. I'll drop this and then pick it up again once they go back to the current timeline lol (also, I mentioned this before but, although it was obvious that Taehyuk is the reincarnation, I still kinda hoped that he actually wasn't)
So it's obvious now that Taehyuk is the reincarnation of Hyo-un's mate, right? Honestly saw it coming but I had the tiniest bit of hope that he isn't so I'm a bit sad. Still love the story though!!
I'm binge reading this and those side stories came out of nowhere. Currently at chap 51 and those characters never came back what was their point lol
Does this still count as BL? Definitely homoerotic but do we really call this BL? Regardless, I honestly really still like this manhwa. I hate stories with toxic couples and r*pe but this is just different. Maybe it's the fact that the toxicity and the SA isn't really portrayed romantically. Do we even consider this as toxic? It's crime scene after crime scene with loads of mental illness. Whenever bum gets hopeful, we immediately know it's because he has his traumas and he is mentally ill. It's not because he's genuinely in love with Sangwoo. And for Sangwoo, he only became ""romantic"" near the end and whenever he does something ""nice"" for bum, there's this looming certainty that something terrible will be done after. The atmosphere of the scenes are definitely set up as some sort of dark psychological thing, unlike most toxic BL where the color palette is very light and basic. There's not a single panel in this manhwa that gives the slightest air of romance and for me, it makes it so great. The ending for Sangwoo is so hilariously poetic too. The guy who is so mentally messed up that he became a serial killer ended up dying because of a hospitalized old lady that got annoyed with him?? Top notch comedy, I tell you. For bum, on the other hand, although I hoped back then that he ended up recovering and living a good life, I think dying is the best option for him. I truly believe that no amount of therapy could ever make him recover, especially since he would've had to pretend that he wasn't an accomplice for some of the killings and that he did not have any feelings, albeit messed up one's, towards Sangwoo.
Despite any opinions that you may have on the nature of Sangwoo and bum's relationship, one thing we can all agree on is that this is a psychological thriller first before it is a "BL". And regardless of how controversial the themes of this story is, it had already made its mark as one of the best manhwas in the genre. Koogi comeback when
These side chapters are making me forget how I hated the sunbae hahahaha and as usual, ho-in is still one of the greenest flags in BL
