What do manga artists have against big lips? (Granted in this case they look more like centipedes glued to his face) But really what gives?! I see so many manga bad guys nowadays with Jolie lips! Is there like one editor that everyone knows but is such a dick that artists started this passive aggressive character trend?!
Ahhh sorry not sorry that was many questions.
I guess they add it because they think it looks uglier when it's over exaggerated.
Uglier cause thin lips don't really have much of an impact to make a character more unpleasant looking. Or they add it when a character has a large ego or something like that, because thicker lips is kinda a glamorous trait or a trait that beautiful people have.
In Asia, or at the very least in Japan and it's neighbors, thin lips are considered pretty, and big ones ugly. Hence, they often draw exaggerated, big and fugly lips on bad guys to make sure you hate 'em. So, for normal characters they make do with a line.
I don't really think that's the case....
I think they have normal standards for lips, they just don't like the big, swollen, cracked, exaggerated lips. Like the sausage lips on that bandit.
Well, obviously westerners don't like those kind of lips either :D but that's what I heard about asians. They like cute, so small features, including lips are well liked. I'm not an expert though, so who knows. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Lol I'm Korean, so I know about this kind of thing, and I'm pretty sure Koreans like full lips.
I mean, if you search up some very popular kpop artists, most have full lips. For example, Jin, Jimin, Taemin, D.O. Bambam, Lisa, Tzuyu, etc.
Don’t go killing the Dad! I’m perfectly fine with continuing the story of a super awesome king toddler. I don’t need a ‘edgy’, angsty, brooding toddler.
Sorry, disliked by accident cuz me thumb is as thick as that asshole's ugly lips
XD
I’ve really honestly enjoyed this story for many years. I don’t know what is going on with these chapters the last couple years.
Take this latest chapter, it’s 18 pages. Literally 8 PAGES! Are devoted to her freaking out about the carpool. That’s almost half the chapter right there!
I don’t know if it’s a writers block situation going on……
But every chapter now is just so filled with useless dialogue/reaction gags that it’s a chore to read through.
I’m completely bewildered with the poor quality of storytelling going on.
I think Sangwoo’s behavior totally has a purpose. As much as I’d love for him to genuinely feel affection for Bum…I don’t think that’s what’s happening here.
Sangwoo is a clever, narcissistic, sociopath. IF he’s even capable of love is questionable at this point. And if he can, I doubt he can express it in a healthy way.
No as much as he says he ‘doesn’t plan’ everything so far has shown the opposite. A big part of season one was Sangwoo ‘grooming’ Bum, training him to obey him.
I don’t think that’s the main motivation behind this 180 change in behavior though. I think Sangwoo is trying to prove he’s not like his father. He even has a semi-meltdown about it when he starts seeing his mom in Bum season one.
He’s playing the role of his father and he’s treating Bum like how his mom should have been treated. That’s why he treats Bum like a girl sometimes.
I’m having doubts on whether he actually is attracted to Bum. Because he threw up after Bum wanted a blowjob. Then he says “I win” because he’s treating his ‘wife’ better than his dad did.
Thank you for sharing your point, and I agree with you. I was confused when he said "I win" I though he said that because he finally made Yoon bum to fall in love with him so he can control him and use him. I don't think Sangwoo is in love with him.
I was confused too with the “I win” statement. My first thought was the same as yours. That he was saying the finally ‘won’ Bum or something. But that didn’t make sense to me because Bum had feelings for Sangwoo all along.
*sigh* Poor unlucky Bum.
Awwwww it stopped at the good part
