Damn i stanned the princess but her being all "oh just show him some mercy" as she died is SO IRRITATING bc (a) Geolson's BEEN showing him mercy or his dumbass would have been poisoned or killed SO QUICK (ik it's not realistic buttt he defo would have been a lot meaner to this piece of actual garbage if he wasn't a literal doormat (sweetie) and (b) girl you wanna spend your last dying breath advocating for this hopeless scumbag wHO DOESN'T EVEN CHANGE IN HIS NEXT LIFE WITH HIS FUCKIN MEMORIES INTACT?????

this feels like a very realistic yaoi gangster psychological slice of life story, does that make sense?
Baek Ho's a psychotic gang leader, and he likes Haesoo bc of his defiance. but this isn't a romantic thing, it's very much about control. Haesoo's character is basically a sweetie (doormat) who would do anything for the people who care for him, so he obv wouldn't put anyone in danger when he knows Baek Ho was on his tail. knowing Abi, that fucker probably didn't do anything more than the bare minimum to get Haesoo's loyalty; which means Haesoo doesn't have education or money to get away. The only thing he could do realistically do in this scenario is go back to Baek Ho and somehow live the rest of his life till Baek Ho tires of him.
I don't like the story, but it makes sense.

this story feels weird bc it feels like the author made the characters tamer midway.
first, sirang was set up to be a typical black flag kinda guy, with the coercion, harassment, the line about only letting ho go after toying with him fully, etc. Then almost immediately there's a role reversal and he is a man in love, pining over ho. he even has the guts to yell????? at ho?????? for only meeting him to get something out of him (the photo in the beginning)????????
bro why tf did you take that strategic pic then????? for shits and giggles??????
and honestly ho is just trying to live his life without worrying about his shit mom and shittier stepbro, so i don't rlly blame him too much for falling for sirang's bs. after all, he strongly needs unwavering attention, and it looks like sirang can provide that for him.
idec about the smutty bits, the plot is seriously plotting and I wanna know a) what happened to mr.a, b) what mr.a was really like bc the livestock peeps are giving very different perspectives, and c) how lil a is gonna chase this corporate-kiss ass researcher outta there
