Mention of spoilers:
-
Soo when this first came out, I wanted to read it cause the art was great and the FL seemed to be proactive in her affection for the ML. But the 2nd ML threw me off and also the FL’s naive behavior around him. 2nd ML shown to be creepy and according to spoilers does horrible things?? But is forgiven and is made like a family friend. And FL has no boundaries around him, especially during the part she goes on a trip with him??
It doesn’t help that there’s something odd going on with the 2nd ML and the main couple’s daughter. Some want to believe that it’s an innocent godfather/uncle relationship but it’s giving twilight. Spoilers say she insists on calling him by his name when he says she should call him uncle. The fact that he doesn’t age (which is suspiciously convenient if they were to be paired together). Him basically feeling connected to the daughter in some way and FL giving him her blessing?? It doesn’t help that the daughter looks exactly like his beloved unrequited love, which makes it weirder that he feels so connected to the only daughter rather than all the kids including the sons. Also I saw a post on social media describing what happens and it further makes it feel odd
Chapter 24:
I actually got the ick from gyeom in this chapter lmao. I’m trying so hard to understand his character and insecurities, but the way he basically takes his emotions out on yohan was just lame.
In that scene he reminds me of those shoujo heroines who are all about kindness to everyone. And I really hate those kinda mindsets. He blatantly experienced rude af behavior from grey haired dude and he’s really thinking “why did yohan talk to him that way?” He’s upset at yohan for giving back the energy to rude ppl. Like those girls who wouldn’t take no for an answer. I GET it all stems from his insecurity, but it’s just annoying that gyeom turned it into about him and how he feels when it was never about him. In the story, it’s meant to be cute- but tbh in real life, that kind of partner would be exhausting. Imagine having to walk on eggshells at everything you do and say to others, somehow indirectly triggering their insecurity.
It doesn’t help that gyeom isn’t my favorite type of character. He’s like a tsundere. And I actually like tsunderes. But gyeom isn’t the cute-type tsundere, he’s just the annoying type who gives off being mad vibes 24/7 lol.
It’s confirmed. The brother is the worst character in this entire story. He’s irritating and I genuinely wish to see him fed to sharks or hit by an 18 wheeler. He’s delusional, he doesn’t listen to a word the mc says, and doesn’t respect any of his choices. He doesn’t understand “no means no.” At this rate, he’s acting MORE like an obsessive ex boyfriend than the actual “ex.”
I honestly think mc’s family was the worst addition to the story. They only give more trouble. And they’re not even good people. Had mc not been confirmed to be their son, they wouldn’t have bat an eye at mc being mistreated. That label of being their son is what they really think about rather than the actual human being himself.
Soo just read this, and definitely don’t read if you don’t have a tolerance for red flag/black flag MLs. I’d say the worst of the treatment is in season 1, and if anyone wants to skip the worst of it but also still know of the bad treatment, start at season 2. Anyways the story isn’t really anything new of the usual red/black flag stories.
On the other side, in my opinion the regret arc is satisfying. At least it’s more than the usual “toxic ML says sorry or I love you and that’s it or the usual life threatening accident which makes the mc take them back immediately.” The ML didn’t go through anything as terrible, but at least he cried a lot and there were scenes of him actually feeling regret and pain for thinking of how he treated MC- which satisfied me lmao. (Which is honestly a step-up from the kiss me liar ML, who completely forgot everything he did and had to be reminded lol).
Also I guess the reasoning behind the ML’s toxicity stems from his mother. His own mom drugged him and turned him into an alpha, to then use him to kill his own father and half brother with the pheromone explosion thing. The result should’ve made ML die as well, but his father and brother protected him, and they ended up dying, leaving him the only survivor. So the mother seriously planned to sacrifice her own son for her personal gain. AND THEN she also tied him up and had him raped by several omegas?? And so that’s where the lack of trust comes from?

I will say- this story is one of the BL manhwas I’ve read where the ring the ML’s uses to propose is actually unique and has meaning. Cause other stories with just give them a ring with a gem or a plain ring with no gem. Just look at chapter 81. The design basically means one ring is mc, the other is ml, and the tiny 2 rings attached to them are their babies. So it’s like a stack of two regular rings but if you hold one up, the mini rings connect/keep the two normal rings together. Which I fr thought was cute LOL.
I must be the only one who likes the ML lmao. His backstory was already explained and ppl still don’t like him. I think he’s real cute especially when he’s taking care of his little brother. It was like a wholesome family trip
╮(￣▽￣)╭
Anyways I hate the hair color argument. People always whine about how blonde guys never win. NO. Yall just aren’t reading the right stories lmfao. There are thousands of blonde MLs. It just depends on the setting/genre. In historical settings, blonde/white hair ML is super common to the point ppl predict the ML 24/7 and get sick of it. I honestly see readers who choose to only read modern setting stories, complain about not getting a blonde ML. Like no wonder! Modern manhwa settings are usually set in Korea, where most of the population has black hair. You want blonde MLs in modern setting? Look on comic apps that have authors from all different cultures and will write the story based in a different country other than Korea.
I’m rereading season 2 and I realize that the ML’s brother is written to be contradictory? Like at times when he’s alone and has no reason to act whatsoever, he seems like he has a heart?! Like in chapter 56, he looks like he shows genuine interest in MC, and looks disappointed as well. But then in later chapters he’s suddenly all cold and ready to beat MC up??
I don’t know if this was author’s way of showing he’s got no redeeming qualities whatsoever, but it just seems too inconsistent. Because why would he even need to act sincere when no one else is around? I wonder if maybe the author changed their mind part way to make him irredeemable or if they intended for it to be like this from the start. If it’s intentional, it doesn’t flow well.
I liked this story but there’s so many moments where the FL is so DAMN IRRITATING. She’s one of those stubborn FLs who won’t listen to her own bf’s worries. She’s like “he’s just a friend.” Said friend kissed her before, likes her and she let it go on for ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR CHAPTERS. She finally rejected the 2nd ML on the 124th chapter.
BUT not before agreeing to go out on a date with him, hold hands with him, and closed her eyes about to let herself get kissed AGAIN. Sure this event all started cause of the situation with ML’s exgf showing back up, and ML could’ve done better- but let’s be real, FL had it coming and this is the time when she’s finally jealous and feeling how the ML felt the ENTIRE manga. Yet ML lets it go every time. I think FL took it for granted that ML’s so chill, expressionless, like he’ll always accept it even when she’s friends with a guy who is in love with her. And even when ML finds about the date, it’s literally brushed off, FL says something like “he’s a nice guy, it was for closure.”
It’s either Orange dude or poly, no other options!!!
Anyways plot twist: FL isn’t actually unaware of what’s going on and she’s been secretly manifesting guys to want her with all those “vibe/affirmation” videos and using pheromone scent oil/perfume stuff lmaooo. Also the mc (orange dude) and FL remind me of the main couple from Bleach- orange coupleee
I just realized but it’s interesting that the author decided to make the hottest guy, the ML of the second couple lmao. His looks alone would’ve screamed main character material
Damn the taegu defenders fighting for their lives out here lmfaoooo.
The one thing I’m confused of is there’s different groups of taegu fans:
•the ones who think of him as green flag for how he only treats yeongwoon now (they don’t think of how he treats others outside of yw)
•the ones who talk about taegu being bad from the start should be obvious cause he’s a gangster- but that’s also their defense for him(?)
-

I’m more confused by the second group tbh. Like do you want ppl to understand taegu more, think of him as a bad guy or good guy? And there’s also ppl who use the gangster background saying he’s bad in the past but also changing?? Now that’s the part that’s most confusing. Cause wdym this man in his 30s is changing and still on this gangster behavior to everyone else?
Anyways not really saying taegu is a pedo, cause by definition he hasn’t shown to be that yet. Though there is the POV yeongwoon to consider. Yeongwoon thinks of taegu like an uncle/brother figure. And I think he’s starting to notice taegu gaining these feelings for him. That scene where taegu holds him in his house, and yeongwoon is yelling for him to let go, shows a lot about how yeongwoon may feel about this.
So people have been saying to differentiate them by the color of their earrings, but I don’t think that’s the case. In the author’s note, the author said it’s the NUMBER of piercings, not the color that differentiates them.
Because if you look sometimes they were the exact same color piercing. In the early chapters you see fckboy number one wearing black bottom earrings along with the ring earrings on top. Then you see one wearing only silver bottom earrings. And in Chapter 20, the twins standing side by side are both wearing silver earrings. The main difference is that fckboy number one is always wearing 6 earrings, pay attention to the earrings at the top of his ear.
So before I start reading, according to the title THIS BETTER BE POLY. Cause why tf would you mention a sandwich if not poly
ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Came back after checking ahead and it’s obvious that Cyril (the ml) is the relative of the Queen from the main story. However the machine translate is inaccurate and it either says that the Queen was his mother or his aunt. So far readers have mentioned he may be nevara and Albert’s son (who were the younger royals that weren’t mentioned much). Which makes sense as to why Cyril is younger than Alexandra.
All I know is that apparently the queen Audelie passed away, which is SO SAD. It makes sense seeing as Cyril was crowned king at only 15 years old, meaning his relatives already passed. SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE QUEEN AND HER LOVER?? What happened to his mother and father?? How are they all gone?! It must have been foul play. This looks like it’s gonna be a sad story as well. And ngl maybe it would’ve been better to consider the story finished before this sequel came out, if we were just gonna find out tragic stuff later
╥﹏╥
I can only hope Cyril can save everyone PLS. Also adding that if you go to the first story, marriage of convenience, and read chapter 110, you can see a glimpse of the older versions of the kids. You can see the back of Cyril’s head at the end of the chapter.
Just finished chapter one. This is a new concept. Both the fact that it’s a sequel, the one that traveled in time is a male mc, and the fact that he physically went back in time with the same body he died in. I wonder if this’ll mess things up since he’s not the same age as he should be rn.
Anyways by the looks of it, it’s really sad that the main character’s child ended up having a bad ending.
This story is interesting. It’s got mystery, murder, and even an amnesia plot? I thought it was gonna be a simple story but there’s sooo much going on. As you read, more mystery gets added to the table.
I do wonder why all the guys in the story are hot af lmao. The male mc, the dad of the kid, the murderer on a motorcycle, the gloved dude, etc. Also that murderer dude is too hot lol, I’m so weak- his skinship would’ve won me over.
