XD damn it you said it. he’s adorable though

I also like Taeyoung, but didn't feel anything with this episode

I don't dislike Taeyoung or Min-ki either, it's just i don't really care about this pair. they are fleshed out too plain as main characters for a manhwa which aiming for a dark theme of entertainment world from the start, their dynamics are also very typical. If this is a fluffy manhwa then they're fine as main couple..
I just want their story to wrap up soon

Agree, Minki and Taeyoung are just dull and cliche at this point. Fortunately the chapters onwards focus on Eunwoo & Wonho, who do have a stronger storyline, consider it's not just a relationship breakdown/moving on, but the whole corruption/exploitation and nepotism.

Yup! I thought by the recent scandals keep being revealed from K-entertainment since last year, Wonho/Eunwoo has more selling points as a story, and we didn't have many of that within BL database...
I hope that the focus will remain switched to 2nd couple till the end and resolve all the problems already introduced instead of creating unnecessary drama for the sake of keep showing the main couple as MCs...they can be side couple now actually
But knowing lzh comics, they'll go with what the majority of audience wants lol

(repost)
is this leading to a Eunwoo/Wonho pairing? I really hope not. I do find that part of the story incredibly compelling, just because Wonho storyline is pretty well written, I do see intelligence in the way this particular field of work is described, can I hope to see the same intelligence in the way this relationship is handled? Something like not miraculously falling in love with your tormentor (however sexy he might be) but an acknowledgment of all the wrongdoings/miscommunication/secrets/shame not only between eunwoo/wonho but also wonho/minki. aargh if only I could make my point of view clearer but being French the vocabulary is lacking sadly. I wish I knew what was going on in the author' s mind: does she/he actually see something romantic between those two? does she justify what eunwoo has done in the name of love (no obsession)? well, i dont have the right to be angry whatever the outcome is, a story stays a gift to us readers anyways and im impressed how the author has managed to get me addicted to this one in particular..

Don't know, but whatever it is, i hope wonho can also get his happy ending..he may be a jerk as a lover, but also a victim of exploitation.. he might be whoring himself out to survive for the 1st time since he didn't get the same privilege as minki, plus the inferior complex he had, but the later was he being oppressed from all sides..
I think the author is trying or will try to make it romantic, what with showing us how eunwoo fell for wonho from 1st sight...
but that's not the point of my comment here.. idc about eunwoo either actually, but he seems to be the only option available for wonho rn. And if he cud make amends to wonho then it's good. That's what I'm waiting to see, of him apologizing sincerely to wonho.
And it's not like wonho miraculously fall for his tormenter either..he's been rejecting him for years, but eunwoo is too powerful over his life and career.

Yep, I'm not too sure about a possible romance, just speculation, but from Wonho's perspective, I feel he really has no one to be able to confide in, be it about Minki or the sponsorsing, so is sadly drawn to Eunwoo, as it is their shared experience and the only real person he can speak to on these issues. Eunwoo, though was invested from the start, at least relating to Wonho's drive. Who knows though, all I can say, is thank goodness Taeyoung's rivalry and new relationship has been put to rest for a bit, as that was increasingly dull.

true enough. yep i do wish for a happy wonho too, lets see where the interesting part of the story leads us...

it is fiction, and i guess in this fictionalized world i can ride with this kind of resolution so long as wonho is happy. What shocks me though is the number of people in the comments actually digging this whole obsessive, agressive and somehow violent way of "loving". Which actually becomes a trope in way too much yaois stories. Is it actually something to look for in a relation? Or is it just purely a fantasy that can be satisfied figuratively? I hope so. Cause i know in real life i would have castrated anyone who behaved that way to me.. or told my friend "no this person in no good for u"

Yea..from the start I always feel it is weird that Taeyoung as male lead is actually pretty detached from the rest of the characters and is not very impactful for the whole plot, his sole purpose is to be Minki's new man and he even got his way pretty easily (be in the same drama when Minki's on the verge of divorce), so he doesn't have much development for his character

I very much detest that kinda trope tbh, but only when I can see blatantly that the victim has more options yet the author still chose to illogically pair him up with the bastard. Cuz y'know in BL when the mc didn't end up with someone that means a sad ending, and most readers don't like that.
But IMO for eunwoo/wonho dynamic i don't think it's mere fiction, I can't relate since I'm not celebrity, but it is believable if this kind of thing actually happens in real showbizz world..sometimes irl you see an actor who is very talented but keep getting small roles while another which clearly isn't but keep getting primetime. Maybe it has sth to do with agency or how much back up they had...money and power talk in many cases.
We think maybe in wonho's case he should have called a police and lawyer or just beat him up, but with eunwoo's standing it's very easy to backstab him. And eunwoo can definitely shut the authorities up with his money, while wonho might risk losing everything he had if he did that..this is sadly a touch of reality in this corrupted era

And his character was always one dimensional from the start, he was Minki's fanboy, and later possibly had links of nepotism, considering his family is big in the entertainment industry. Taeyoung literally saw his cousin raping Wonho, and rather than have a more outsider/non-biased view that exploitation is going on here, which come on is hardly a secret in Korea, even on a smaller level like actors/idols being bullied, starved, pressured into surgery and in massive debt due to their management, he chooses this to presume Wonho is the "bad guy" and his idol Minki is a helpless little baby. He interferes and presumes, rather than accepting Minki too had communication issues, and he choose to stay with Wonho, turning a blind eye to his partner being sexually exploited and thinking it akin to "cheating" (when we have literally seen Wonho's boss pimp him out). Minki is in a position of privilege, Wonho was not, when it came to getting work, no matter how talented they both are.

Anyway, Minki and Taeyoung take a back seat, in the next chapters, so it looks like the plot is getting more substantial than their cliche love story.

agreed, agreed, and that's probably why I got so involved... cause it rings way too true

So far there are no signs whatsoever of the Painter falling for Yoon. Yoon is getting really obsessed with the painter.

Warehouse
So far (it hasn't ended) the uke has not have into the seme

Warehouse is a bit debatable for now...the uke is breaking and he made it clear thru his actions that he is under delusion that if the seme was the seme from the past, he will accept him..so i guess it depends on how the captor acts from now.
But yes it hasn't concluded and the author is a bit antimainstream by displaying such a strong-hearted uke who refused to shed tears while being raped repeatedly, that's why warehouse remains my most fav for this genre

But he did end up leaving him in the most recent chapter , yeah I do get what you mean but hopefully he doesn't end up getting with him.

Honestly having the same question XDD it’s funny becus at the beginning, Doyoung’s imagination (dream?) of Hyunjin and him lowkey having sex in front of the computer was what registered him in for the hotel sooooo I NEED ANSWERS and can’t wait!!!

Well, if this ends with him paired up with blue and beats mr rose, then successfully gets out of the hotel after solving it, but without other explanations of what caused this incident then I'd prefer this all to be just doyoung's dream.
This may be happen to make doyoung see the many shades of hyung's personality but that ain't enough reason to start this convoluted mystery lmao

Dunno but i also prefer red heads haha but in the end who we fall for is unexpected most of the times

xuanji looks stunning my dude wdym "so-so" she was horrifically described in the novel; this is beautiful

Xuan ji was described beautiful... you forgot that when she stood in the row of corpse brides, the villagers said that this particular bride was so beautiful she could ascend to heaven. That corpse was Xuan Ji..and there was never mentioned that she could change appearance or took after someone else's face..so she was bloodied but still beautiful...
And compared to Dianxia, nan feng and fu yao who looks prettier here

His Highness looks a real beauty because he had makeup on for the disguise. Well, even without it he's still a total beauty. I feel like I'm just chicken now that I look at him. No wonder his husband wait for a long time to meet him again (づ￣ ³￣)づ
