dear god I've seen what you've done for others......
WHEN FOR ME
i hope GO drops the dog act when he has to do #2 PLS
No fr because imagine GO picking it up in a little green baggie like we do for real dogs lmao
I want to see how the author writes Inseop struggling with the fact that the trophy he seeks is a human. I dont even think Oh Inseop knows what his end goal with Kijeong is.
Unlike material objects, humans do not lose their value or need. With his other victims, the items he wanted were inconsequential and only held importance to one person. But there will always be someone who finds Kijeong as important to care about. The detective, the other teacher who just defended her, her students etc.. and there are people who care about them too. Oh Inseop cant kill them all
I fear we need to acknowledge that Taeha has been lying to Haesoo the entire time.
I feel like damn if you're not gonna tell her you're rich can you at least let the girl get some blessings??
Someone anonymously tips Haesoo a bunch of money and she cant give it back. Oh you get a random check for 5k cause of a lottery. Some kind stranger has paid your rent for the next 5 months!! Oops we mistakenly sent you this package full of good clothing or other supplies no need to send it back. Get her a job at a good store with great pay and benefits???
FR!
But then we also gotta admit that Taeha is possessive and I'm not sure he would want to "free" her. Giving her money, is giving her freedom. And so he wouldn't be able to control her as much.
Honestly, I hated when she was sobbing on the floor after witnessing Mincheol cheating and everything and Taeha says, “Stop crying. You need to go to work tomorrow.” And then she passes out. Like, I hated him in that moment. How dare you. Maybe say the “I’ll do anything you ask,” part out loud, instead of, “Stop crying, there’s work.” Blergh!
I wanted to say this too but I was afraid of being jumped lol
Understandable haha
These chapters are in Mincheols POV but they are very centered around Na Haesoo. We learn about her father, what other people thought of her back in school, how Mincheol used to treat her, why they most likely got in debt,... I could go on.
We get a lot of insight on Mincheol's personality but not much else. I mean, we don't know about his family life at all or what he wants to go to college for even though its brought up a lot. Everything we've seen thus far has some connection to Haesoo.
Haesoo has lived more of her life with Mincheol than without, so it makes sense that we have to know him to know her.
shoot me or whatever but i think this is a more interesting plot than her and Taeha having sex and Taeha being another illegitimate child chaebol with a strained family relationship. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
yup agree! also, the point is to understand why haesoo tolerated all that BS for years. Some of these comments calling it a waste of a chapter is funny to me idk lol
Thank you!
its giving the manhwa more substance than sex , maybe ppl just aren't used to that
Nah, I think it's just that most of the audience here is below 15)) and also the Western world view is much more black and white, good vs evil than Asian - it can be a good thing and a bad thing (▰˘◡˘▰)
Just had another thought - that's it's actually very curious how the Asian worldview is more nuanced and cliche at the same time - like on one hand - everyone has to fit a particular box - but on the other - it's much more acceptable in storytelling that "bad people" can sometimes do "good thing", and the other way around, and good characters can turn bad and so on...
Well when much of the western world has been ruled by christian authoritarianism you dont get much nuance
Yeah - it's a totally different way of thinking ^^
Ppl complaining about seeing backstory or focusing on other characters like Mincheol isn't a main character. The endgame couple doesn't have to be the only main characters. I think it's good that Mincheol has a real personality. It's different from other stories where the ex is just a piece of shit just because. (also both men are heavily flawed)
You can feel bad for a person but also not tolerate the way they behave. It seems like in the past Kang Mincheol was a little hot headed, arrogant, kinda reminds me a little of Korra from LoK. But he definitely loved Hae-soo a lot. It seems like the financial situation they're in might be because of something that happened to her and he was willing to sacrifice so much for her. But of course finances are the #1 reason why people get divorced.
I cant completely hate Mincheol, he still has that young boy who is kind, selfless and loyal inside of him; but we all have to lay in the beds we make and he sucks for cheating and tearing down Hae-soo's self esteem.
The author wants to tell a complete story so let her do that. The pace is fine, its just that the format and the episodic releases makes it seem longer than it actually is. If this was a novel it would definitely seem shorter.
Finally someone gets it!!
Child Psychologists have noted that children will be mean/aggressive with their primary caretakers, or the people they trust the most. This is all subconscious.
For instance, my kid had a hitting phase, but it was only targeted towards me. It's because she views me as someone who will never leave her, so she feels free to be in her most vulnerable state. She acts way better/more formal/more respect with other family members. It's somewhat bittersweet cause ow pls stop hitting me but I'm glad you feel safe with me.
I think this is the case with Kiseong. He doesn't admit it but he absolutely feels like he is the safest with Kijeong and will act out because he knows deep down she will not abandon or hurt him. He carries that one time she slapped him because it's the one time his beliefs were proven wrong and the start of his trauma. The cousin took advantage of this situation by pacifying him (giving candy,toys etc..).
Kiseong is projecting his hurt onto Kijeong, because the grooming began when Kijeong was planning to leave. So he must've felt abandoned. Even though he had the choice to go with her he's still a child who just got his feelings hurt so he's going to be petty.
Both siblings are traumatized but express it in different ways. Kiseong is very explosive and outfacing while Kijeong bottles it up and punishes herself.
The brother is very conflicting. I get that his resentment towards her is because she is easier to confront than the real danger (his cousin) but damn he isn't very understanding at all. I wouldn't be surprised if Kijeong was also abused by the cousin but 'aged out' of his preferences. She was willing to give up her own room to ensure that he never got near the brother. Very common protection method. But the brother will never know because he refuses to talk to her.
He’s still 14. Despite his unfair assessment of his sister, he was so young and abused that I can’t blame him for feeling angry at everyone
Yeah. I just hate to see it cause we know he's gonna probably die so at least I hope we can see him have a little character development before then
OH INSEOP IN SEVEN DAYS YOU WILL BEGIN TO COUGH
