I really don’t get how people point out the toxic stuff happening here, and others get mad about it—even when it’s constructive criticism.
Fiction still influences people, especially women. Constantly portraying abusive relationships as a beautiful, family-like ideal is a problem because it shapes how we, as young women, process and respond to real-life situations.
I remember dating two guys: the first was extremely controlling in a toxic way, and the second literally assaulted me (obviously without my consent). My brainwashed self thought that was normal behavior. It still deeply disturbs me. But you all have to allow space for people to constructively criticize the things that are idealized in stories.
It’s not about taking the manga or the stories away from you—you should absolutely keep reading them. It's fiction, after all. (Although it's worth noting that fictional content involving pedophilia is illegal in many countries because people recognize the real-world consequences such portrayals can have.) It’s more about learning to recognize what’s happening in these stories for what it is—maybe not even for yourself, but for other young, inexperienced women who might not know any better yet.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE PLOT TWIST IS ?! some people already made some suggestions/ implications about the Mc (something like he killed himself) which doesn’t make sense too me, I would like for someone to share their theory (:
SPOILER!!!

---------------
MC and ML were originally married to eachother and MC committed suicide. After he did that, time turned back to before MC and ML first met. ML fully remembers everything from before time got turned back and he wants MC to live a happy life now BC he deeply loves MC, ML used to be an abusive husband in their "1st life" so he pushed MC away now thinking it was his fault/he doesn't deserve MC
It's secondhand knowledge. A bunch of people who read the novel with manhwa is based on have posted a detailed summary of the entire novel in the comments when this manhwa was around 20-ish chapters and so far it has kept following those summaris/spoilers to a T.
I've never read the novel myself tho.







The fact that I also come from an abusive and poor family and still don’t mentally or physically abuse and rape people …
I just can’t comprehend how this is used as excuse for the protagonist behavior, it’s an explanation for his short temper but not a freaking EXCUSE, but they’ll frame it that way anyway.
Bro became his trash father, congratulations. Lady’s if you see guys like these run. And if they stalk you like in the story, call the police lol
Ikr!! The fact that Jaekyung's die-hard fans are suddenly getting bold after this chapter is wild. Like, all his shitty behavior is now justified just because he had a traumatic past?
They’re really out here trying to paint adult JJ as some innocent, naive person who’s done nothing wrong. Yes, what happened to little JJ was genuinely heartbreaking but let’s not pretend he didn’t grow up to become exactly like his egoistic father.
Legit the only difference between Jaekyung and his dad is that Jaekyung has a successful career and became rich while his dad lived in poverty. That's it. That's all the differences there are.
Exactly, the things that happened to him when he was a child are horrific but come one bro, that’s not an EXCUSEEEEE.
Plot Twist: his dad probably had a similar childhood and so did his dad's dad and his dad's dad's dad and so on, it's an endless circle of misery and abuse that Jaekyung breaks by being gay and having no kids.
