USED to love dobin bcs he was girlbossing and pushing back from omega stereotypes and it's done well to and i rlly appreciate the thought put into his character but now he's just letting alpha boss to do anything rlly (altho they keep insisting he doesn't like it or whtvr..sure..)
i would have liked more if they went the route i was lowkey expecting where alpha boss smells him and becomes obsessed with dobin remaining unaffected by smelly alphas
but the whole point is that he CAN’T smell omegas, (or was it that their smell grossed him out? idk i think it’s the former) that’s why he’s getting the therapy in the first place; exposure therapy as you know. i think it’s gonna take a while to get to that point though. as for dobin, yea idk. we’ve known he’s been weak to tae ho’s pheromones for awhile, but i still think he still has that fighting spirit in him. he lets tae ho do what he wants in the name of therapy but he also tries to get back at him too so that he doesn’t have all the power over him, also that’s his employer so that adds to the situation.
oh i totally get that bcs i do remember early on that he's this career centric guy who wants to live a lavish life and the manhwa rlly did well on establishing that but i was just disappointed with the route it is going in general dobin's character rlly piqued my interest when i started reading this so maybe that's why i anticipated that it would go less stereotypically abo (sounds like a me problem ik..I'll prob let this marinate for a bit before reading again lolol)
reading back I sounded way too harsh and that’s my bad I was up reading late. I do agree with you. he even states how he’s never been scared of alphas or lost to them before even when he thought he was a beta and after he presented as a dom omega. I do however think that as an adult who prioritizes his career and the money (he mentions multiple times how he likes the money he gets from the therapy ) that it makes more sense for him to tone down his less stereotypical behavior to conform to his boss’s standards
finished rereading this again as a survival show addict and im honestly still as flabbergasted as i was when i first read this bcs everything's on point the setting, the effects, the scandals, the evil editing, the vibeeeee LOL i can't explain it either but it was done so well i can't help but think author got to be an ex trainee or just genius
ps. another thing that did not change as i reread this is i really didn't want sejin A to be in the group (i honestly would have preferred heesung¿ i think that's how it's spelled) bcs sejin A has been soooo annoyingly closed off and gloom asf the whole time, not to mention him lowkey trying to start smthng with moondae during the finals.. something for sure is off abt him and im scared lol
i went into this thinking it's gonna be cliché (not that anything's rlly wrong with that im sometimes in the mood for some cringe) but DAMN was i wrong...idk if i just feel too much but i sympathize with both sm it's crazy i hope their story wraps up well and i don't mean just a happy ending i hope actually makes sense and ties together im so serious
ps. i also cried sm with that scene with jiho's mom confessing that she felt like a trash can eating left overs i have such a complicated rs with my mom i never had the chance to talk abt stuff like that with her and i just felt so sad lmfao









all throughout reading this all i can think abt is this analogy¿ but basically it's "a tea cup wouldn't be able to fill a tall glass and a tall glass mindlessly pouring it's contents into a tea cup will just cause it to overflow" something like that, it basically explains that love requires knowing what your partner needs, not just giving what you have.
i think shinwoo is def the tea cup bcs he wholeheartedly believed he doesn’t deserve more than a small pour, while han is the opposite, a tall glass that needs a lot to feel full, which explains why he's constantly bored with everyone and everything before. It's such a real problem with relationships so watching them actually work through it is so refreshing.
that moment from the sides when shinwoo said he’s slowly becoming like han bcs they've been living together is sooo telling for me, it might just be bcs i love this sm i started deluluing even harder but for me it shows that they’re gradually changing into equally sized glasses (sobs)
