JUNSEO MY BOI
PLEASE MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS
SOMEONE PLEASE LOVE HIM
OR I WILL-
//shot multiple times
i felt my heart being broken into a million pieces when i saw him getting frustrated over jaewon calling him about karam
i'm just //GUH SHOT THROUGH THE HEART// LET ME LOVE YOU JUNSEO
WILL WE EVER GET A HAPPY CHAPTER FOR THESE GUYS?!
my god i'm so confused right now honestly? bc okay they're sorting themselves out but did i accidentally miss a page or something? they're literally confessing how much they love and miss each other--and yet they choose not to be together? is this how they'll always be? star-crossed lovers?!
it's so hard to stomach this series sometimes, seriously. like, don't get me wrong, i honest-to-goodness love this series and the drama is too on-point almost always, but is it really so hard to ask for a happy ending for eunho and jaeha?
(apparently, as zec says)
//you hear that? that's the sound of my heart BREAKING
we’re getting close there
IM PRAYING T^T)~
karam: *smile*
yoonseung: *smile*
junseo: *squeals*
yup you know who i'm rooting for
IT DOESN'T MATTER (much /cough/) IF HE DOESN'T END UP WITH JAEWON I JUST WANT JUNSEO TO FINALLY BE HAPPY FOR ONCE
HE DESERVES THE WORLD
i really love this manhwa!
i don't know if anyone else feels the same way as i do, but i love this story not just for the plot, but how the characters share their thoughts with the readers alongside their development. seheon and taeyi both let the reader be privy to their personal thoughts, and i think that's what makes this manhwa so empowering--because we get to understand what they think and how they feel, undoubtedly making us connect with them intimately.
someone might feel like they're seheon, or someone else might feel like they're taeyi or any of the other characters, so we understand to a degree the situations they go through. and that's just how art goes right? it imitates life, and this manhwa does it so in a way that we authentically know what the characters are thinking of as they move and prod about the space of the story.
I REALLY WANT
JAEWON AND JUNSEO
TO END UP TOGETHER
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(but well, i'm not opposed to jaewon ending up with the other two guys so long as the author provides junseo a good ending bc he deserves it after all the shit he went through??? like i love jaewon but junseo is my freaking homeboy!!!!)
karam is a really nice guy and yoonseung is a super interesting character, but just, JUNSEO??????? IS SO SO SO KIND AND CARING AND AHHHHH if jaewon doesn't end up with him then can i just take junseo home with me- /shot (if i were a boy i would literally go for him he is so pRECIOUS)
i don't usually ship the "childhood friend turned lover" trope, but with this series, it just feels right to think that junhyuk would be the only one for hanmi.
i do like gun, and i have never felt anything other than respect for him and his loyalty to the people who matter the most to him, but he and hanmi are merely kindred souls. and i believe, not even romantically, because they're the only ones sharing a situation everyone else in the series can't comprehend: they both have "secret brothers". jua is as much of a "secret brother" to gun as junhyuk is to hanmi. hanmi even realizes this, that she "likes gun because he is like her". they share the idea that their respective brothers are "their worlds".
which is why it broke me, when hanmi said to junhyuk "don't go". i also felt heartbroken when jua said that gun should "let him go". hanmi and gun mirror each other, but i firmly believe that it doesn't mean they'll end up together. even though seonghwa said it so disconcertingly, blood really is thicker than water. JHHM is something i will stand by. gun and jua's mending relationship is something i will support.
on a less feelsy note: i'm glad that there is some LGBT representation in this series! i would really like to see how yueun and ginny progress in their relationship <3 also people can call me out on this but i'm a freak for liking the semi-incestuous vibe between gun and jua! (i mean, if we can ship junhyuk and hanmi who are first-degree cousins, what's stopping me from shipping brothers? mutual brocons are always beloved to me!!!!! //SHOT)
yasssss fam thanks!! glad to see fellow supporters
I don't ship the bros because I don't like Jua at all lmaooo
that's okay! it's not a ship for everyone HAHAHA and as a character he is quite difficult to stomach so it's understandable!
Also do you know why Jua kissed him??? That part confused me and they never even brought it up again so I was like wtf OK THEN haha.
It's pretty clear he has not so brotherly feelings for his brother, don't you think? I think he was pretty isolated as a child and relied heavily on him (parents seemed to refer to him as more of a burden), and so those feelings became more than just brotherly love in the true sense.
I also wonder if that was the first time that happened TBH. Gun and his attraction to Jun was kind of making me think about him and his past with Jua.
When all is said and done, his feelings of curiosity have been transferred to someone he worships and wants to possess hence his anger towards him when he felt abandoned. It was a test of sorts to see if he was going react the way he wanted in that moment.
thanks for this! this is exactly how i feel about jua's feelings for gun tbh
"Gun and his attraction to Jun", is this junhyuk? this line confused me wait- //flails
but yes, i feel that the reason why there might be attraction on jua's side towards gun is because no one really treated him kindly except for his brother, so his views on romance are twisted. on the other hand, i think i can say that for everyone reading this manhwa, we're not so sure exactly the kind of loving feelings gun has for jua--whether they be purely brotherly (and in that sense, possibly bordering brocon levels), or they're actually tinged with a romantic undertone already
either way, i'm shipping them ╮(￣▽￣)╭ whether what they're feeling for each other is just brotherly love, or there's already a romantic subtext to their interactions, i will ship them like the trash i am LMAO
And that's where the author is dragging us down the path of hell. She makes the TWO IMHO most interesting ships the most ambiguous.
I think Jua is gay without a doubt. I swear he admitted to as much when Hanmi visited him one time, but I've read so much lately my head is spinning to try to recall said convo, and I was wondering if his first boyfriend was going to be that guy that basically took over his life in high school.
I don't think Gun is gay though as much as he has this connection with Jua that Hanmi has with Jun. He would do anything to see he's happy, and so where does he really draw that line?
The first person to make him want to think about drawing it is Hanmi. Yet, he was almost willing to give her up and then quickly changed his mind, so he's a mess too. lol Could that be considered denial? Who knows, but if you read that Q&A, the author is again screwing with us hinting to it.
I think Gun really does love Hanmi too in his own way as he wants something solid and meaningful, and she sees him as her out to a normal relationship. Then, she finds out his life is a mess, so now she's pushing him even before the kiss with Jun, and now she's really pushed him away because it was like a switch went off during that kiss IMHO. If she wanted him so badly, that kiss would've been what sent her back to say let's figure out what we have together not avoiding him completely.
How long did it take for us to find out that Jun clearly has feelings of more than cousin love for Hanmi? I still feel they are each other's first loves, and now Jun can't seem to keep the deal they made because she says why now. Why would she say why now? Those words make me think it's not the first time.
I think they made some deal in the past to end it when high school came around and find healthier, less dramatic (do they need more) relationships because clearly cousin love is a no-no in most societies, but then, we have Jun using Ginny (which IMHO Ginny was in love with Hanmi, but she figured out Hanmi had feelings for Jun and vice versa, so she started dating Jun. Then, she fell in love with Jun, but she knew deep down she was a substitute for him especially after he blew her off, so she grew very resentful).
Ginny came back for revenge for that fact, and then, her worst fears came to light when she saw them almost kiss in public! lol IDK that Jun wasn't going to push that day to the point of no return because I think what he feels for Han makes him do things the completely in control Jun wouldn't normally do. I mean what kind of risk was he taking that day or the day he was dancing with her or even the actual kissing her in public? We don't see that guy around Hyeran.
Hyeran also is another one who resents this situation, and i don't really trust her for one second. i think she is another Ginny waiting to start something as soon as she sees them move towards each other. Just look at the way she was so happy Hanmi had a boyfriend. I think she is fully aware of who Jun cheated on her with as well.
I actually was getting so frustrated that I wrote a fan fiction piece for it. Of course, it doesn't have the amazing added pictures because my talent is not in that area, but it made me feel better and I gave some clarity to my own thoughts above with both ships. Sometimes that helps me when authors refuse to give answers and just kind of hem and haw about what is happening.
Thanks for all your thoughts guys, I understand a little better now. I appreciate it. Hopefully things start turning around for all the characters so they can all find happiness.
you went on different tangents here, but i'm happy you thought about everyone's individual situations so thoroughly! thank you for giving your own food for thought about the characters!
C-can you give us a link on that fanfic pls? (=・ω・=)
i can't stop staring at eunho pls tell me i'm not the only one
he looked really adorable before the 2 year timeskip but WTF
HE BECAME DANGEROUSLY ATTRACTIVE IN S2 (that ear piercing and that colder personality does wonders to his cool guy persona now i'm ~shookt~)
I'M ACTUALLY JEALOUS OF JAEHA FOR HAVING THE AFFECTION OF THIS GLORIOUS HUNK OF A MAN
BUT THE MORE PRESSING MATTER IS: WHEN WILL YOU TWO IDIOTS GET BACK TOGETHER
SORT YOURSELVES OUT ALREADY
He was so cute from before. But I understand that pain really takes effect on some people's ways of dealing with things. Putting all that aside... I totally love the sexy aura he's giving off
He's on some new shit just watch
my god the amount of porn in this manhwa is just //facepalms
and it's probably hitting up its audiences??? but as someone who wanted to go into this enjoying the story i feel that it's way too porny and that the plot feels too convoluted contorted more because of the insane amounts of sex and fucking. for the last few chapters i literally scrolled through the pages just trying to skim through the words and not focus on the images anymore because almost all the sex feels completely unnecessary at this point. also, can i just say i need more lily? all the other girls get screen time for sex sex and even more sex but lily is taking a backseat even though i feel like this entire series is supposed to be about her and her history (because wtf "lilith's cord"? you can't get any more title-extra than with lily's name) and i really wanted her to be with dohyun but apparently this fuckboi has too much history baggage (read "hill") and too many other girls begging to have his dick to themselves so i'd rather just have more of lily honestly //shrugs/ idk if i'll pick this up properly but if the story just continues this way with SEX GALORE and then small pieces of plot then this isn't my manhwa and i'm not the intended audience LOL still, it was great while the plot was "interesting"
Haha agree! The storyline is really interesting but my eyes starting to hurt because of the porn ( it's hot but it's too many!! ). And i really ship lily and dohyun cause from what i read there's the scene when they are soo meant to be with each other, but i think later on they'll have sex with each other
Ikr! I feel too invested in the plotline to stop reading like I want lily to get strong and reck everyone tbh
It's bc the main plot is sex
yeah i kinda got that halfway through lmao
Couldn't agree more my dood. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
LOL @ sex AND fucking... that's crazy talk! ;-)
I only read for the sex
I came into this for the porn, and was pleasantly surprised to see a cool story. I'm pretty happy with it, to be honest ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Doyhun is hill right
Is doyhun and hill are the same person is that right or not
OKAY MY PRAYERS MIGHT FINALLY BE ANSWERED
JAEHA YOU BETTER MEAN THOSE WORDS
just be happy now--please ;;;;;;; finally be truly, undoubtedly happy with eunho
