There is nothing sexier than consent (▰˘◡˘▰)

Okay, I realized that this is a lot of people's introduction into BDSM and as someone who has been into it in real life for a couple years now, I do want to say that it's very unfair that everyone only comes at MD. MD had Chanwoo sign a whole contract in the beginning, and part of that was establishing a safe word. While of course ideally there should be consent every step of the way, realistically in the heat of the moment, there is a lot to explore and as things go, you won't always get explicit consent for each new thing. This is why a safe word is EXTREMELY important for both parties. A sub's most important tool is a safeword, because in some ways, BDSM is about exploration and there are many things you won't know that you like until you try it, and in case it ever gets too much for you, the sub has a safe word so that the dom understands what boundaries are being pushed, because looking uncomfortable or sounding like you're in pain is kind of...expected, but in BDSM those things could easily go hand in hand with pleasure, so it really is up to the sub to be able to communicate out loud that they don't want something and most importantly, USE THE SAFEWORD. BDSM includes 2 parties, and even though one is master, the sub has an equally important and active role.

The whole time, Chanwoo was being extremely stubborn, and he refused to use the safeword until even MD was scared for him, and Chanwoo kind of played it off always as though it was nothing even if it was too far. That is a huge breach of contract and if you 're going to have that mentality, YOU SHOULD NOT EVER participate in that kind of play. People tend to forget that he's a huge masochist who loves sex and is very experienced, and also a grown ass adult that is more than capable of making his own choices- and he is choosing the entire time not to say the safeword and not to communicate what he truly feels. This is extremely immature of him and downright dangerous. MD was being a prick at the end there, but technically, he was doing what was within their agreement and he immediately stops the play when the safeword is called, as he should have. After being flat out rejected and then chanwoo bring some other guy to him to engage in their sex play, I don't think it's fair to say that MD was the only one in the wrong, or that is was unreasonable for MD to engage with the other guy at all, and while it is manipulative and that isn't okay, he really was within his bounds.

It’s not MD isn’t a good guy because I believe he is, it’s just the setting we see him in & we barely seen their story just for a little bit so it’s not for us to say if they get a character development. I’d love to see them both change into better people, because chanwoo allows ppl to abuse him on the daily THATS an issue! If they had an actual story I’d love to see it.

I mean honestly, I've seen similar toxic relationships, and it's mostly because Chanwoo doesn't seem to have ever really experienced an actual loving kind of relationship before that he makes a lot of stupid decisions, but I do agree that it was pretty messy and didn't make much sense even for him. I almost thought it to be a little cruel that after flat out rejecting MD, he'd bring a guy to him and then somehow agree to engage in sex play with him?? I mean, MD also handled that in not a very human way but both MD and Chanwoo were being pretty toxic to each other.

I don't think that in real life, MD and Chanwoo could be called cute or healthy because most people wouldn't recover or be as unfazed as Chanwoo was, but because the author makes his character so generally unbothered by things that are totally not okay, their relationship is I guess easier to support? If that makes sense. Idunno, I do wish they would have had a more healthy reconciliation that wasn't just MD smiling as Chanwoo cried his heart out for a bit out of jealousy, but I did love the story and them as a whole.

I love all this conversation. Finally some mature conversation

I agree.... it would be a nice change where the victim and rapist doesn’t end up together ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Many factors to hinder calling police. One is I think ive read somewhere some korean school wont settle with authorities to settle bullying since it might tarnish the school reputation.

Check out chp 1. There are balls from basketball and soccer but honestly i actually answered this not making sure if it happened in school or what cuz its been a while for me as well haha. Regardless, it includes students. But who knows why they havent reached out to the police.

Or did it include students? AHHQHQHQ i forgot the whole thang

In stories like these the police are always easily bribed with money and as you can see all of those kids had a lot of it so it would not have did nothing but made the story complicated because of crooked cops planting shit around

True. As beyonce's song goes like "Who run the world, girls" i disagree. It should to be "who run the world, moneeeyh" yes it rhymes if you want to forcefully rhyne it ʕ•ٹ•ʔ

Not true I’ve read so many stories like this that made me made because they can even have the person on a camera or a recording of it happening even other witnesses but either the judge and the police force get bought of or the witness “suddenly disappears” or also bought if like they make it very clear in these stories that money and power is everything

Yes it honestly makes me mad but it’s indeed true if you have the right amount of money you can practically do anything but not just money social standing is a must to in these stories ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

Because of the fact their parents got money and you see how the parents trusted their boys plus he was basically hoeing with the man who did that to his brother and you saw how much influence he had and neither of the twins told their parents so the parents didn’t dig into it one didn’t tell them because as you’ve said he would get disowned while the other didn’t tell him because he was still in denial his brother would do such a thing and because he felt he wanted to protect his brother on his own and when they had the soul switch thing he just felt he could handle it hisself he had no rights to go to the parents as if they were his like the problem that twin had was now just his problem he needed to fix on his on

I’ve read before that bullying is a huge problem in South Korea because it’s just brushed to the side, the police don’t take it seriously/don’t do anything about it, and the only punishment that bullies get is usually their parents grounding them or getting suspended from school for a day or two. Honestly if you look into Korean culture and such, or even in other Korean media, it’s obvious that bullying is a pretty big issue in Korean schools, and while many people in Korea think it’s messed up, they just don’t really do anything about it.

I thought it would be like that because if every Korean school manga has severe bullying we can’t just brush it off as it be a manga it has to be credible at least a little if all of them say that bullying are that bad

WAIT HOL' UP IM IN CH.1 PG.41 AND READING THE COMMENTS TF
