Haseong clocked Mr. Homotron2000 and developed a crush I knew it was dajeong he was crushing on. Haneul is the kinda guy who won’t be able to turn down helping haseong get with his own boyfriend until nana or dajeong themselves realize what’s happening and then knock some sense into him.
They are sooo cute my god yeon being the one to name kihoon in his past life is so romantic like putting a name to your beloved itself is an intimate tradition (most people will have nicknames/diminutive for their loved ones) but to give them their name, arguably something that shapes their entirety, while being five years of age, and putting so much effort into it…. Past 5 y/o yeon you have my heart.
Imagine you met a boy who is half monkey and saved your lost ass in the jungle and then led you to your goal and then you had fun all day and he is as bright as the blazing sun, made whole in light and joy and he mistakes you for an angel yeah I get why child yeon was taken with kihoon already.
I love them T-T lmaooo not yeowoon realizing Jigu has been shittalking him to his face all due to his own misunderstandings I’m so sorry man this idiot was too dramatically idiotic.
Bro is just content to be the eternal peanut gallery to Mitzuaya he’s just there eating popcorn finding them entertaining.
He loves ibeom and ibeom’s family and wants to support his boyfriend in his work. But because ibeom has a fundamental misunderstanding about ‘respectable’ jobs he urges jungoh to go for corporate work and jungoh understanding this does so.
I understand where ibeom is coming from. His work is very much real (atleast in the story’s universe), but can be skeptically viewed by others. In that sense being assistant to a shaman is not ‘respectable’ or ‘being on the up and up’ allowing career growth. But the reality of corporate work is that they strip you of your life to turn you into a mindless worker drone while dangling bonuses and promotions in your face which you will likely never achieve. Sure there is career progression, but it’s soul sucking stuff. Many people are not built for it.
I think jungoh himself wants to work for ibeom because he finds it satisfying. He gets paid well, loves what he does and becomes a part of ibeom’s work and family. Ibeom will probably learn to have a conversation that welcomes jungoh’s input from this lol he made assumptions about how corpo work is and urged jungoh to pursue it and look where it got both of them. Overworked and under loved.
But who starts that by revealing something that is clearly a secret about your crush/idol. Idt she realizes she’s not the main character of everyone’s lives. Chika is a person. Her mentality of ‘if I alone can’t have you, you should be loved by every person equally and not grow close to one person’ is such parasocial insane behaviour. Atleast she got her wake up call.
‘How come you act all cute and flirty in the game but you can’t say shit to my face’ Yeowoon putting a foot to jigu’s neck spare him he’s a cringefail loser lover boy bro he’s already embarrassed and a weirdo hahaha.
A homophobic theatre kid who’s a washed up idiot not even in college dating a girl who isn’t even into him.. dude can kick rocks. People into theatre are not all about acting. Drag is performance that heightens a lot of what makes theatre great. Hope the asshole gets dumped.
Also I have to appreciate how grounded this story is. It’s always something that I’ve considered, that Luke wants to pursue acting seriously and how being in an mlm relationship going into the entertainment industry is seen as a big ‘impediment’. Inherent homophobia derides acting opportunities. But even on a smaller scale, struggling to be out with your partner but not as a couple is a very real queer experience. I think especially in places with a homophobic general mindset queer couples are very conscious of how they’re perceived and what they can and can’t do.
I like that them being attracted and into each other isn’t enough, that love is still a struggle. But it’s something they’re willing to work through. Good writing.
Momo a high schooler being summoned to the world straight into what seems is essentially sex slavery.. what the fuck.
Do people who say this think this is how masochism works?
I feel like the creator itself doesn’t understand. Just because they slobber over the concept of s/m dynamic does not mean it is okay to depict a masochist being assaulted (and from what the raws show) raped. Sadism and masochism is fairly common, but it isn’t about non negotiated dehumanisation. ‘Oh he must like being hurt so it’s sexually gratifying for him to be raped and assault’ is something only someone who isn’t into BDSM culture would gather.
Weirdo ass artist can’t write for shit and also the top is ugly as fuck with a head that looks like an egg that has a wig placed on top of it. Weirdo rape BL AGAIN by a person who doesn’t understand what they’re depicting AGAIN so I guess it just another Tuesday.
If they didn’t call yunseong for work on Saturday. Don’t work employees extra hard especially when they’re resistant to charms in your decidedly non human centered companies people that is like avoiding disaster-101. It all leads to getting clocked by a dog of all things.
And I’ll choke the life from him, this impotent sick fuck.
At making loverboy loser tops <3 both Lee yeon (red string/thread quests) and Lee ahn (this story) are sooo in love and in over their heads about it it’s adorable. This artist is proof that childhood friends to lovers works perfectly and isn’t boring when the characters are all yearners.
What I meant to say is, I was also disgusted by the summary. But then I looked at the comments (if the content matches the kind of summaries in such mangas there are usually lengthy hate comments which I find fun to read).
Every single comment I had read back then was about how beautiful and thoughtful this manga was. It made me curious. I am so glad to have read this.
Let this be your sign. Disregard the summary. Give this a go. It was a 5/5 for me. Let yourself read something that is good, even if you do not end up liking this as much as I do. TBH that summary is almost character assassination for this manga.
But when it comes down to it the good thing about this manhwa is how totally both of them are into each other on every level constantly. It gets to a point where the attractiveness of the individual character doesn’t matter; their dynamic with their partner makes them feel more attractive.
Also if someone doesn’t find jake’s character design hot that’s perfectly fair but his early on mysterious/dominant personality later translating into hyper competence and yearning and then protectiveness and devotion makes for a cocktail of characteristics that readers would find attractive (even if his character design all by itself isn’t).
Guys I get the characters are shitty and toxic and that’s what makes their dynamic fun but being put off after seeing someone getting rawdogged while they actively fight against it and then throw up (while the other character continues to force them) no matter how much anyone mentally prepares is pretty normal…. It’s fun and games to think this is where it would lead and still be a icked by it.
‘Why is it a surprise that their first time looks like assault when the characters are both red flags and the top is a pretty looking sociopath’ guys… bc it’s still assault. Being weirded out by something that looks and reads like assault is normal, even if it is something one comes to expect.
