I honestly loved this webtoon so much! The only thing I despised about it was the MISUNDERSTANDINGS. If you read this webtoon chapter to chapter the ML and MC have every right to think what they think.
(SEASON 1 RECAP) Jiwook has a TERRIBLE inferior complex toward ML during season 1 to the point he sabotages his own feelings and it frustrating as ML continuously shows jiwook that he likes him and we see this play out when jiwook dad arrives where Jiwook was embarrassed especially when he gave money ( I’m assuming it was due to being so little) to the ML but the ML was so happy to the point he smiled and said he was going to keep it for safe keeping. Then don’t get me started on the dog where ML didn’t know anything and was just waiting with the dog at Jiwook place to surprise him only for him to come back saying his dad died....WHAT THE HELL??? I think what hurts is that ML really wanted everything to work out between them to the point that he agreed with his sister that he would be a pawn for her in order for her to be President of the company in order to pay off jiwook debt... was ML toxic in the beginning to jiwook YES but later on he genuinely developed real feelings for him and you can tell that by ML actions from getting a dog that jiwook wanted to paying off jiwooks “debt”. There has also been so many other time where ML offered job opportunities to jiwook and I think college tuition as well. They were just kids in love but ofc there has to be an evil character that just has to screw that up...
I do want to emphasize I don’t blame jiwook for not always accepting ML offerings as he did always questioned ML intentions especially the debt issues where ML was strictly using that just so jiwook could stay close to him and lying to him that he has to pay it back.
Season 2 recap: that season was a hot mess in the first few chapters I could not stand especially the ones where ML didn’t know how to deal with jiwook depression. However it got better after everything was revealed and after ML handled everything, especially surrounding the death of his father where jiwook finally realized ML did not kill him as ML had no power back then. However what sucked is that during this time Jiwook still thought himself as a burden to ML especially during the wedding fiasco, I do believe ML should have told jiwook what his plan was but due to his fear of jiwook running away he couldn’t risk it I do want to add that at this time jiwook already ran away twice effecting ML trust surrounding jiwook promises (the first one running away after promising he would see them at school, jiwook instead dropped out and ran away, second one was going to america where jiwook instead ran away and stayed in Korea) so I don’t blame ML for questioning jiwook promises. And what sucks is you feel throughout the reading ML feelings and jiwook at this time is still suppressing his feelings and still plans on leaving ML....don’t we LOVE misunderstandings.... ( the amount of times I yelled AT my phone saying JIWOOK PLEASE JUST TRUST HIM, don’t put yourself through unnecessary pain again) anyways what I really loved about this season is that ML knew if he held onto jiwook he would only harm himself so at the end of the season ML let jiwook go even though it hurt him. Edit: Another thing that I want to ADD is that reading multiple BLs there are some tops that don’t know when to let go of the person that they love and would rather see their significant other to harm themselves as long as their with them. That’s one thing I loved about this ML as much as he is dependent on jiwooks love and affection he knew when to let go where he would rather jiwook heal and be happy without him there ( still promising to keep him) but he knew when to let go. This reminded me of movie plot points where 2 characters can’t be together in which one or both of them let go of each other do to their love causing negative affects for the people around them or themselves.
Season 3 recap: my favourite season as the misunderstandings finally ended. Chapter started off as ML keeps his space from jiwook but makes it extremely clear he is not leaving him. Jiwook caves and asks what’s going on surrounding his wedding cause he wasn’t going to be his hidden lover, in which ML finally tells him the truth and the reconcile YAYYY finally no more secrets. Wrong... jiwook later found out that throughout all the years they been apart ML paid off his debt a long time go, where jiwook finally realized if he trust and spoke to ML the things that happened to him could have been avoided which honestly was so sad cause the regret felt throughout the panel was shared where jiwook even explained his thought process to ML when he ran away which was his way of helping and showing his affection towards him, where he felt like a burden and HAD to leave ML due to their differences in status quo. Anyways after that they closed everything off where both realized they had feelings for each other and want to stay together. Yayyy and at the end ML begged jiwook not to leave after everything was revealed but jiwook being healed and happy did not want to run away and accepted ML feelings FINALLY without thinking of dark thoughts ( such as being a burden and ML is better off with someone else).
Anyways I really loved this toxic story do not recommend for the light hearts.
