I liked the more mild obsession in the beginning but this is like way far. Im not gonna lie, this is somehow worse than all those kidnapping MLs all over the web, bc now he's not only drugging someone, the ML is also doing it with ILLEGAL drugs that he knows almost nothing about. The risk is so high that I can't imagine anyone in love would do it. It's wildly different from those webtoons with ultra rich ML's that procure a highly secretive drug. This ML is literally picking up drugs from a back alley from a person he clearly doesn't know or care for that much.
YEAH EXACTLY thats what i just commented too like wdym you're giving it to him without doing any research?????
Omg finally a decent friend - kind, caring, but not too intrusive. Every other person thats tried to be the MC's 'friend' was overbearing and wanted something from him. Honestly it felt a little suffocating.
Not a fan of the gangster so far. It feels like he'll be interested in the MC soon in an intrusive way
I cant tell who the blonde(Sukyung??) is. I also can't tell how these two are gonna recover from how badly their relationship soured by the end of last season.
With his hair down, jaekyung's now finally hot enough to justify the douche personality. Ill take it and I understand Kim Dan
I love that Kim Dan is learning to put his foot down and say no when he doesnt want to do something. But I also wish he could learn to be more independent, which just turning down jaekyung doesn't really do. Kim Dan still needs to learn to take better care of himself. This whole stint of walking into the ocean and then not even remembering, requiring someone else to save him again, shows that this whole event has traumatized him but he hasn't matured from it yet.
This!! I completely agree
Assuming Jaekyung is the root cause of Kim Dan's issues(which ive seen in a lot of comments) is an overly narrow reading. While Jaekyung most definitely has major attitude issues that exacerbated Kim Dan's mental health, the root cause of Kim Dan's issues is that he has abandonment problems that stem from the loss of his parents at a young age. It's shown in the story but especially lately that that's why he tends to cling to things rather than live his own life(his grandmother, Jaekyung, the puppy). His character arc will probably be learning to let things go and should focus on how to be alone(IDK how jaekyung is gonna help with that though).
Jaekyung has an extreme obsession with success that manifests in aggression towards anything that detracts from it. His desperation to find Kim Dan doesnt really seem to be out of love(yet). It seems more like he believes his life falling apart began with Kim Dan(rather than his own choices lol) and so finding Kim Dan will provide some sort of redemption.
As of now, I don't see how this couple could work out UNLESS they go the crazy4crazy route(which honestly is fine with me if well done). They have major personal problems and I don't see how the other can help with that unless they literally just stick together. It'd be like sticking a bandaid over their issues. They'd solve the symptoms(perceived redemption, companionship) but not the root cause. I've seen stories do this before but Mingwa's previous work focused very much on reaching a healthy relationship dynamic.
^^This!!! I’m tired of people saying his problems is all because of jaekyung, like clearly it’s not. Especially now we see that when Kim Dan did leave him and guess what? his problems didn’t magically go away. Jaekyung is not a good person by any means. But he did pay Kim Dan’s debt so at least there isn’t loan sharks beating him up anymore even if he’s still in debt. I feel like jaekyung is going to help Kim Dan when his grandma passes away (like
help him mourn by comforting him or something maybe he opens up idk lol) and that’s how their relationship is going to grows
Yes exactly! I think a lot of ppl dont give credit where it's due. Jaekyung solving his financial debt is realistically a much bigger deal than ppl think. No, money isnt everything, but the hard truth is that its 75% of the way there. If you've ever had to deal with major financial issues(student loans, pet bills, medical bills, insurance, car repairs etc), you probably understand that few people are willing to help out. With that said though, this is transactional and only entitles the payor to a certain degree of demands but not that horrible manner he treats Kim Dan with.
I hope jaekyung does open up though. We know so little about his background and why he became the way he is but theres clearly some sort of trauma there.
Based on this backstory, Seo-in has more fire in him than i expected. My guess is that he approached the mc with such strong interest bc his 'brother' Jaewon was interested, since he did Judo too. In retaliation, Jaewon probably wanted to ruin the ML and MC's relationship by pretending to be Seoin and kissing someone else(idk where ppl are getting the idea that Seo-In and Jaewon kissed). There was no indication of the 'brother' going to their school so I'm assuming he didn't, and thus the MC didn't know there even was a brother until Jaewon came to bully him.
But the MC did know Seo-in's brother. In one of the earlier chapters, the doctor was talking to Seo-in after Yeongwoon dropped him off home that he hasn't changed a bit and it seems like just yesterday that he would come over to their (Seo-in's) house and the three of them would hangout together.
