It has nothing to do with past lives or reincarnation. The director simply wanted to create a new movie that could satisfy himself. He wanted jaehwan to essentially level up his acting in order to achieve that movie, and he knew that seonghyeon could bring it out of him. Seonghyeon gaslit and manipulated jaehwan into method acting so extreme that he ended up unable separating reality from fiction.
As always be sure to check out the official release of the chapter! The recent ones will be free for a period of time: https://global.bookwalker.jp/authors/231813/
Tried to read this since it has the same author as a room without window, but the premise is just so disgusting.... forcing someone (who was still bleeding and probably concussed btw) into a sex slave contract, then proceeded to confine and rape him? Yeah no im not going to root for a character like that no matter how good the redemption arc might be (edit: found the reviews on b*to and people were saying that the relationship stayed abusive till the end so byeeeee)
This was so good holy freaking shit. The plot twist might be a lil bit obvious after the second chapter but THE WRITING IS ACTUALLY THE MOST SHOCKING THING OF ALL?? Like i didn't expect it to be this good and heartwrenching, the world building feels freaking real, the characterization is just top notch, and it wraps up beautifully. I actually can't believe it lmao this was SUCH an amazing find.










Welp, i did NOT like the arc about chika's past tutor. Why even make her a character? I couldn't care less about her struggles because all i saw was someone who raped a middle schooler while she was already an adult. Idc what the japan age of consent was, chika was a child and her behavior was freaking disgusting. I love natsuki and chika to pieces, i literally grow up with them, i just wish the author had explored the existing side characters instead of introducing new ones.
I also wish they've done it differently. I don't even think she acknowledge the full extent of what she's done. Or did Chika realized he was raped. He was uncomfortable, i wish they dealt with that topic rather than her supposed unrequited love ugh
