Oh...The cliffhanger in the raws of the season finale is STRESSFUL stressful.
Spoiler -
the priest walks in on Jinjoo and Doeyon doing the dirty in the church. He legit looks like his soul left his body
What does this mean for Jinjoo's reputation?? Ohh this is about to be messy. Doesn't she confess to this priest from time to time? This is gonna spread around the community like wild fire for sureee

Risa is the best. She is so full of life and super duper relatable. There's something about her that stands out - she's the realest. My fav shojo manga girl.
Back in the day, I used to be all for Otani, but now that I am looking at the story through a different lens...
He's a jerk >: (
I hope in the canon universe now that they are in their 30s either Otani has matured or Risa has moved on! Super curious to know how the crew is doing.

This made my heart go doki doki fr
The art? Immaculate
The story? Chef's kiss
My emotions? ALL OVER THE DANG PLACE
I love how these characters and the backdrop just feels three dimensional - it's like I am watching a sensual, intimate movie. Every panel has been drawn so thoughtfully. This is artt. It's hard to depict the fluidity of dance through pen and paper. But idk how this mangaka does it. She manages to translate the 'hardness' of the Latin American dance AND the 'softness' of ballroom dance to paper so well.
Push-pull dynamics are my fav in romance. The pining. All that delicious angst and tears. The sexual tension mixed with the layered emotions. Oh, it's just delicious!

These parents are red flags! How can they leave the protagonist and their kid alone to run this estate by themselves after years of neglecting their own kid? So you can run away to enjoy a very long romantic getaway? Bruh, yes, you do need to repair your marriage and enjoy your time with each other, but your first priority should be on taking care of the little boy you neglected. (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
It's so weird how they never rushed back after Aidan was injured by the councillor. Like yeah, I know Aidan and the FL sent a letter and everything telling them they can handle this, but who tf says 'well, he can totally handle getting pummelled by a grown ass man on the head' to that? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

You have to remember that this is a different era. While yes, the FL/ML were on the younger side of things, it wasn’t unheard of for nobles to take over at a young age. And while it wasn’t described in the story, I’m sure the Duke at least checked in periodically to make sure that they were doing alright (unless you want the story to be like Lady Baby and be stuck in their childhood forever and a day lol).

They asked the kids if they wanted to go and they said no... Did you want them to force the children to go? Staying wasn't an option at that point because they needed to work on themselves as a couple. The children proved to be capable which is probably why they didn't go. I'm not really excusing their behavior because that was shifty but I digress

I think there is some difference in the interpretation due to the machine translation of the work because to me it seemed like the Parents were the one to went back to their estate or dukedom while the kids remained in the capital to learn their duties more and run their side project businesses. The main lead won't be able to meet the Prince that frequently if they weren't in the capital. And as another reply pointed out, the parents actually asked the kids if they wanted to come with them or not. I won't they say they are exceptional parents but they didn't seem red flag like either, at least to me.

I bet the husband and Doyeon are actually brother and sister. Similar features, similar personality (similar personality doesn't necessarily mean they are related, but it could add to them being siblings from a story telling/'story hinting it' standpoint). The same sandy brown hair and green eyes (though Doyeon's hair is a bit darker, deeper)
There's also Jinjoo thinking how Doyeon reminds her of her husband, looks similar to him, etc. I could be wrong tho.

I am sorry but this author is just superior. When I am talking subversion in BL, this is what I mean. The two protagonists can hold their OWN. They are strong people individually, which makes it so powerful when they get together. Not to mention just how compatible they are emotionally.
And the fact that despite them being fucked up in the head, everything so far being consensual and romantic despite the gangster/cop/violent backdrop of the story?? CHEF'S KISS
I have NO idea why this is the most romantic thing I've read this year but damn these two make my heart and hoo-ha throb!
For those of us who can, let's support the author financially as much as we are able to, folks. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧We are in desperate need of such stories.
GOSH THIS IS FUCKING FUNNY? And they give me SasuNaru vibes lmao
