i reaaaally enjoyed this manhwa. I regret not having found this earlier. The main characters are pretty complex and believable. Best of all, it wasn't predictable, the characters left me trying to figure them out. I LOVED the banter between the main characters and the art style. The political intrigue wasn't as fleshed out, but to be fair, this is a romance webtoon and the intrigue was just a prop for the plot, not the plot itself. All in all, this is a solid manhwa, and I'll definitely be rereading it!
That ending was poetic. Everyone lost, and tbh they all deserved it. Sihyun was a grade a garbage excuse for a human, Kyunghee was a mom-con who chose the worst way to deal with his suitors, Junsik's hidden obsessiveness came out in full force after he hit one too many bumps in their relationship and dude became Sihyun 2.0. Hyunjung feels weird to me bc one minute she's all, "Imma do something for myself after all these years, so let's chase our happiness Kyunghee!" and the next minute she's all "Kyunghee???? why do you have a life of your won???? what is this behaviour pooja???" (but obv she's got nowhere near the toxicity of the guys). The only redeemable character was that unnamed friend of Kyunghee's who stuck by his side when shit hit the fan.
there was honestly no way for these characters to have any semblance of a happy ending without the author making them go OOC, so it makes sense why the author chose the everyone-dies route.
also, I'm wondering how Kyunghee justified not even trying to get his mom out of this relationship coz given the pace at which the sihyun x hyunjung "ship" was sailing, he'd have to be fucking his stepdad, who was also doing the devil's tango with his mom like what kinda mindfuckery...??
i can't get over that insaaaane age gap like wtf??? the mc is an idiot, but then again, she's a (probably super sheltered) teenager whose brain is still developing, and the ml is almost 30. I get that it's to make mc's dumbassery more believable, but i just can't stomach it. Gave up after chapter 4 (looks like only the nekomata has this girl's best interests in mind from what i've read, and i hope that's not gonna be plot twisted away)
Do you're telling me heejae isn't a total lunatic and has a logical descent into madness(???)?
Interesting
wait so...did yeonjae express such vitriolically homophobic views...just to show seoyoon he wasn't unusual so seoyoon would continue to confide(???) in him???
that's pretty twisted, but then again, yeonjae is one twist short of a twizzler so is it really shocking?
OOH MAYBE
yall idk if my attention has gone to shit or if it's the translation quality, but i'm still super confused. uke liked the seme since school days, that's easy to get. did the seme initially like inseob and later (after uke finished his military service) started getting interested in the uke?? or did seme also have a crush on the uke when he was in school? if so, why tf did he confess his feelings to inseob???
He confessed his feelings to Inseob in college to get a reaction out of uke. Remember he’s been teasing uke about his “supposed” crush on Inseob since high school. Seme wanted to see what uke would do lol
the translation is really confusing so i don't blame you for not understanding lol.
basically, inseob (friend) was initially kyung's (top) type but only at first glance. he eventually became more enchanted by woojin (bottom).
kyung has a pretty nasty, manipulative personality and isn't straight-forward with his feelings so he tried to manipulate woojin to give up on inseob. that includes making him promise to never confess to inseob and also confessing to him, to get some sort of reaction out of woojin. he wasn't serious about it though as shown that kyung was more upset about woojin leaving for the military than showing any sort of actual reaction.
woojin, however, is just as dishonest about his feelings and just never really dismisses kyung's assumptions.
so kyung doesn't know that woojin returns his feelings. in his eyes, woojin never really gets over inseob. he thinks woojin is still pining for inseob after all this time and he thinks woojin would prefer literally everyone else over him - which is why he eventually snaps at one point.
it's basically one gigantic misunderstanding because woojin is too scared and kyung is too proud to talk lmao.
this ^^^
That was a very comprehensive explanation, now it all makes sense! Thank you!
So this could have all been avoided if they'd simply left inseob alone what total idiots lmaoo
rigggghhhhht
Thank you very much!
I really don't like the top he is a red flag
