Is she going to be a supporting friend character for Jaehee? Cannon fodder that leads to misunderstandings? A new rival? Think of the possibilities!!!

I swear, if Aristia chooses the freakin prince over a sweet boy like carsein I wil punch her into next week. Sure he maybe from another timeline and he’s all “different” but his actions from before tells us that he’s still capable of doing the same thing. This abuser narrative where the victim forgives their tormentor or blames themself is so stupid. It enables a mindset that just because one can change, their previous actions can be forgiven and forgotten. So please, Aristia, I’m begging you, dump the motherfucking prince and find a happy ending by yourself or with another sweet boy who will treat u right.

Anytime there is a cheerful looking underclassmen that is friendly with the MC you can bet ur ass that they’ll probably get involved in the main pair’s relationship. Haha, can’t wait~

Let’s start with some stuff I saw about bdsm and how Jaehee is apparently at fault for some of the mishaps during sessions. Alright so, I’m seeing some comments that are saying: “why doesn’t she just use her safe word?”
1) Maybe because she feels that if she does so she’s disappointing her play partner? She feels almost reluctant, dare I say unsafe to use it? Especially a safe word that is obviously very triggering for both?
2) It’s true that it’s the sub’s responsibility to use the safe word BUT it’s also the dom’s responsibility to make the sub feel safe enough to use it. Said dom is also expected to monitor the sub’s emotions constantly during play since the sun is literally putting themselves in a vulnerable position and TRUSTS the dom to take care of them. 3) subs tend to be eager to please their partner. Why do you think many experienced doms refuse to take on new/inexperienced partners? It is common knowledge that new partners tend to ignore their own limits to please their dom and often get hurt because of it. Even experienced subs might make the same mistake.

That’s just on the bdsm elements, now let’s get started on problematic parts of both Hulian and Sulhwa’s personality.

1) they’re both clearly the obsessive/possessive types.
They can’t let go, and that’s very unhealthy. Heck, sulhwa couldn’t let go of Jaehee for what, like 10-15 years? Some may call it unrequited love but even unrequited love can turn toxic. Especially if the other person had said, “No, I don’t like you.” And rejected you multiple times. If you keep persisting then your just a creep and frankly a nuisance. In this instance, it may have worked out since Jaehee is so horny that she can’t think straight (yes, I’m criticizing her because Jaehee ain’t no perfect saint) and it seems Jaehee feels guilty and wants to make up for it by staying with Sulhwa. But in the end, even with Jaehee in her arms, sulhwa wants to cage her and lock her away. Major warning bells!!! Sure, Jaehee may have made her more obsessive/paranoid bc of her thing with Hulian(and that one time she “cheated on Sulhwa by doing that play session at the school with Hulian” but at the time her relationship with Sulhwa wasn’t steady and it’s not uncommon in bdsm to enter a poly/open relationship where one can have multiple play partners) but ultimately Sulhwa had always had that twisted obsessiveness in her from the start. She won’t let Jaehee go, ever.
Hulian also displays similar obsessiveness. She won’t let Jaehee go even when she is in a relationship and her relationship with Jaehee in the past was wrought with that same possessiveness. Yes, it is Jaehee’s fault (kind of) for flaking on Hulian by taking on so many jobs, but being a workaholic isn’t something to be bashed on. Yes, it’s unhealthy, but when one is concerned about their partner you TALK with them and not use sessions as a way to channel your emotions. It’s key in bdsm to NEVER let emotions like anger/frustration (true anger not “oh imma punish you baby girl” type of anger) dominate you in play sessions. People get seriously hurt when that happens. Therefore, it’s totally NOT COOL for Hulian to have let her emotions get the best of her and make rash decisions during a play session. Ahem, back to her obsessiveness. She is like Sulhwa, she will never let Jaehee go, and that is a toxic trait in of itself.

2) emotional manipulation
-Both Sulhwa and Hulian manipulated Jaehee through guilt. Whether it be with a face full of tears or by wooing her with loving words Jaehee thinks she doesn’t deserve. Sulhwa uses that guilt to get Jaehee to go out with her. Hulian uses guilt to make Jaehee uncertain of her relationship with Sulhwa and pushes Jaehee to keep coming back to her. Sometimes they do it unintentionally, but both uses some form of manipulation to get Jaehee to do what they want.

Now I could go on and on about how imperfect both Sulhwa and Hulian are, but at the end of the day, all I’m trying to say is that every character has their flaws in this story. Jaehee also has her flaws, don’t get me wrong this girl is indecisive af and super horny, but she’s not the sole person to blame for this twisted tragedy unfolding before us. The other characters are just as equally at fault for the way things had turned out.

TLDR: Bdsm play holds both parties responsible and no character is perfect in this manhwa so stop blaming everything on Jaehee.

*thanks for listening to my rant and I hope you have a nice rest of your day(づ￣ ³￣)づ*

Man this series has some problematic issues with consent and all that, but I’m just here for the good art and smut. Plus it’s like the only Yuri manhwa that has bdsm and since I’m always starved for girl x girl bdsm, I’ll take what I can get. It’s fiction after all, so don’t take it seriously~

For those of you who say this manga is disgusting, you probably don't like it because of the unique kinks/fetishes featured in it. People like different stuff. A few of the fetish/kinks I have seen so far in this manga are:

-Emetophilia (Vomit Kink, you like watching people vomit)
-Ageplay (Baby/Mommy kink, you get aroused from acting like a child or treating someone like a child sexually. Usually some humiliation/BDSM elements mixed in)
-Piercing fetish (Lumped in with tattoos as well, you either get off from the act of piercing/tattooing or from seeing them on yourself/somebody else)
-Pee Fetish (You get off from watching someone pee or soil themselves)

And of course a bunch of other BDSM stuff like domination/submission, spanking, blindfolds, etc. The stuff they do is honestly BDSM roleplay almost with Ari being the female dom and Hina being the submissive. Although there is some dubious consent involved and some violation of public decency as they are technically enacting their sessions in a public space(school), they are for the most part not doing stuff that is 'disgusting' or 'immorally wrong' per se. They are just exploring their sexual behavior through sexual acts that are considered 'not normal' to the vanilla society.

All in all, if you think this manga is disgusting that just means you probably don't like the kinks involved which is fine. To each their own. Just please don't degrade a work that the author-sama spent so much time on because it doesn't fit your palette.

It's going to be Yujin, it's always was going to be since he was introduced.

Although I personally like the Yandere as well, you have to admit the boy is toxic.

Just look at their relationship:
-manipulation
-control issues
-dishonesty
-guilting
-unhealthy attachment

I could go on and on about the symptoms of a toxic relationship and it's very prevalent in Sian's relationship with the Yul. And it is a little frightening if the girl attached to you since the beginning lied to you about her gender, her real name, and everything. Like the entire person, you knew was a lie. Even I would get scared by that.

However, I personally do think that Yul could be a better person. He clearly just wants to make Sian happy and with some therapy, he could do that without hurting her and himself in the process. Although I am not a psychology PHD, I do have enough experience to see that Yul has a co-dependent personality disorder (CPD) and probably a few other disorders like possible schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder. The boy needs to work out his mental health first before he can be in a stable relationship with anyone.

Oh and communication. THAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. Yul was clearly not a bad boy, in the beginning, just starving for love. But because he didn't communicate this, he felt the need to control Sian. Then Sian on the other side also has some dependency, self-esteem, and communication problems as well. Her dependency on her mother the entire life left her unable to communicate normally with others. When both sides don't communicate, the relationship is bound to fail. If only the characters would just TALK to each other, a lot of problems could be solved. Maybe their relationship could've worked out, but it's too late for that now.

Next, both parties must be happy in the relationship for it to work. If one of them just can't stand the other, there is no helping it. Ultimately, love is a two-way street. Both must give and take, both must like each other for it to work. One-sided love is always doomed to fail. Yul may be willing to love Sian with all his heart, but Sian will not do the same. Yul is a complicated character, he really does deserve better, he deserves someone who can love him back and patiently guide him from his eternal abyss. Sian is not that person. She is also a deeply flawed and traumatized character. Her fear of men stems from her childhood, it is not something easily fixed. Two broken characters cannot fix each other. Thus, it is better for them both to separate.

Although Yujin is no shining knight either, he's the endgame. The author clearly wanted him to be the true ML from the beginning. He is the opposite of Yul. He's sunny, bright, and independent compared to the gloomy, dark, and unhealthy attached Yul. Come on, just look at their hair color. Purple/Black Villian vs. the Blonde Hero. It couldn't be more obvious that Yujin was Yul's antithesis. Yujin may have some problems, but he is not broken, psychotic, and one word away from a mental breakdown. He is fundamentally a 'whole character' and the bandage that can put Sian back together again.

*If you made it this far, congratulations!(づ￣ ³￣)づ And thank you for reading my rant.*
