Sometimes I need a break from all the hardcore plot and drama of BL and just help myself to straight up porn with DP and threesomes. Bless
Okay, clearly, Sangwoo has this strange complex (as he does many other mental Greek complexes) where he seems to kill people who commit a sort of sin in which causes pain onto others or those who don’t deserve any pain. Kinda reminds me of the Black Hood from the Riverdale American TV series. Which i believe to be very interesting because clearly he isn’t/never was planning to on killing Bum ever because he’s the one in pain (and ofc because of other complexes like the Oedipus complex) and kinda not only sees his mother in him, but probably himself. Which is why it seems like he’s trying to turn Bum into a killer like himself which is why he brought his uncle.... so now I wonder what the next chapter will behold since killing Bum’s uncle was clearly not what Bum wanted.... or is it?..... a desire he actually felt deep down in bottom of his being and conscious.....??????
But there is a part of me where I honestly want Bum to become an actual murderer to the point where he loses all grasps of reality, more so than Sangwoo so that the ending is him killing Sangwoo himself. THAT would be an iconic plot twist.
But on another note, I firmly believe that no one deserves to die. Every person has their reasons and own background story for why they act, why they do these things in present time. There’s always a reason for everything. Things happen for a reason. That’s how the complexity of life works. And because of that, no matter how disgustingly inhuman a person can get, i don’t believe that they should die. No matter how big of a sin or what sing they have committed. A person’s life has absolute value and it cannot be traded for anything. That’s just my belief since I keep seeing hundreds of comments saying how the uncle deserved it and blah blah blah. But Bum’s flashbacks of when he was an actual good person clearly showed he didn’t. If anything, the proper punishment for anyone is to live in prison with the guilt and awareness of what they’ve committed. Giving death to a criminal is more of a gift and reward rather than a punishment. Let them live in regret if you really want them to repent for their sins.
I don’t like any of the endings. I’m sorry. It’s too unrealistic. The consequences of not taking/taking care of mental health and truly moving on from tragedia struggles should’ve been addressed and demonstrated properly just as much as the rape, the abuse, and the mental insanity of these characters were. I’m disappointed in these “what-if” endings. I’m sorry. I just don’t like it. I was cringing throughout each ending chapter. And with this one, I even felt queasy and felt like throwing up because how can Kyungsoo go back to this effing douche bag literally after all the pain and strife he put him through!?!? He went through sooooo much that the perfect ending would’ve been if he took his own life from the trauma caused by all this. And i absolutely HATED how angry he got over the food because that type of anger should’ve been expressed after Yule raped and gang raped and abuse him so much holy frick. I’m sorry. The story was great and amazing honestly, but Kyungsoo’s character pissed me off and these endings sucked. I’m sorry for this unwanted and unpopular opinion, but because no one’s saying it, I’m saying it anyways. Agree or disagree. I don’t care what you think. But I definitely did not like these endings nor did I like the main character.
Kyung Soo is angry at all efforts by Yule. It’s not just the food, it’s Kyung Soo rejecting Yule. Im-Aeju tried to salvage this trainwreck story by making Yule do things to make us sympathize with him as if he’s changed. LMFAO. Seriously?
How the fuck could you stand to be in the same room or even sit at a table with the guy who had you gangraped, raped you everytime he saw you, and had his brother tortured and raped you too? Trauma and love.
It is almost a Shakespearean tragedy... it’s sad and makes us, the audience, angry and heartbroken and conflicted. And the worst part about tragedies and this manga is that often it’s based on some truths. There are some unfortunate souls out there that are so traumatised by others that it becomes normal and sort of ironically safe. Sort of like Stockholm syndrome; there’s awareness and hate for the perpetrator, but they still can’t seem to either completely walk away from the perpetrator or they find other partners who are essentially the same. Relationships like these often leads to complex trauma and can contribute toward personality disorders, which leaves the person in a continuous victim role. (Please note my understanding on mental disorders is not to the standard of a psychiatrist so I may have made some generalised statements). This story hit me so hard because I hated the ending so much and then hated all the characters and I just wanted to punch walls... but for some people IRL they actually can end up in situations just as damaged and leave people around them feeling crestfallen at their self-destructive actions.
Stockholm Syndrome? Uh, with Kyung Soo that’s not the case. With other people who experienced RL trauma, then possibly.
I was referring to RL people then. And that’s why I said ‘like’, coz it’s more complicated than Stockholm’s.
You make a valid point. Thank you for giving me another perspective on this horrid chaotic manhwa. But Stockholm syndrome is more of falling in love or becoming attached to your kidnapper. Not necessarily a rapist. Pretty sure there is a different word for it but there’s just many MANY cases where a victim is absolutely disgusted and traumatized by their rapist. There’s so very few outliers in the real world where someone becomes attached to their rapist. I guess with this story, it is different or in the case of those outliers, since the “attachment” stems from the pre-existing presence of romance or a “sentimental past” between the two people before the unwanted non-consensual sex.
LiHuan’s bg story and flashback really tugged at my chest. I felt aches in my palms and my feet (a weird thing that happens when I feel extremely depressed and empathy for sad scenes/characters) and idk man... I started crying. Like I’ve never fully experienced what my baby LiHuan went through but it felt like I had or something. I mean I know the feeling of being ostracized by your classmates and always being lonely, but not in the way
LiHuan went through. I mean I was occasionally blamed for hitting or bullying other people even though I was always by myself and was the BULLIED.... so I guess I do empathize with him a lot. And then him losing his mom.... dear god. I never want to imagine losing my mom. I love her so much, she is my world and the most important person in my life, so I guess just the idea of having your own mother pass away at such a delicate stage of your life is truly and immensely heartbreaking and devastating. Oh gosh, thanks for the waterworks DJun </3
At this point, if sensei really wants to drag this out, then at least add some drama, like a potential rival? Someone who actually loves Nemu and treats him better than Maya and we get to see some actual plot development? Honestly, I kinda hope that if this happens, Nemu’s student becomes that rival, that’d be a nice twist. Yes. Give it to me. I want the drama. Plz. It may be the slow translations or whatnot, but this Ruka issue is dragging on for far too long that it’s boring me. JUST SPILL SOME HOT TEA ALREADY. Or maybe focus on that second couple (Nemu’s friend whom I forgot his name x hot Megane guy) becuz I’ve been getting Second Couple Syndrome this summer and I’m just thirsty for those second couples lately
“Empty”?????? What does that mean???? That last sentence confused me or I must’ve read it wrong but I’ve reread like 10x and I don’t completely understand it. Or maybe a mistranslation???? Why does he feel empty? Isn’t it the opposite because he’s caught feels for Yohan?????? SOMEONE EXPLAIN
Meaning if he leaves he's gonna miss Yohan (that's y he said empty, he'll feel lonely like something is missing aka someone aka Yohan)
Oh my god. I feel so stupid. I was totally not reading that sentence in future tense. I was reading thinking that’s how he feels in the present and I was so awfully confused. Wowza. Thank you so much
No problem it's just life it happens to everyone
He is just realizing that he has more feelings for Yohan than he thought. That they have sex and enjoy each others company, but are only 'fuck-buddies'. That idea is making him feel "empty" because now he is starting to crave a real relationship with love and he doesn't think Yohan feels that way. And as yaoichic said; he would miss him if he wasn't in his life anymore, so he doesn't want to give him up. But Perlita-chan your thought of the 'present' is correct too, because like I said; he is just realizing that he is falling for him :)
Wait..... does this mean that Chanwoo now knows who’s banging Donggyun?????????? Cuz if he does..... I hope he steps in like a best friend would and confronts Jiwon in his face to tell him off
