Hope the bottom never discovers the truth because it's awful. What a shitty father and mother. Even the secretary. The woman was a serial cheater and a golddigger, he could have had a divorce or give her money. But no, he wanted to mantain the image of a chaebol couple so much he ruined everything and everyone. He became a killer, an abuser, a cunning man... He just wanted revenge because of the cheating, mess with the other son he hated and called it an "example". Glad the father died. He didn't loved biological his son at all.
The secretary was following orders but still... ugh. Only terrible terrible were around the bottom. He really struck luck with the firefighter.

The dad is a pro lifer for real. He doesn’t harm the baby because “all children are born innocent”, but had no issue orphaning him in infancy and deliberately creating an environment designed to destroy him from birth, including getting him hooked on drugs. Sangjin is a pos, but it’s actually kind of devastating to learn that he never had a chance of being normal or getting an exposure to decent role models.

So true. The father just hated the mother so much that he ruined the son. He used him and couldn't care less about him. They, the ceo and the secretary (father and thennthe son), just wanted sangjin to die as a drug addict or something. Like you said, he never had role model, nobody protected or defended him from all this.

I remember saying Guwon remind me of Negan a long time ago, in the earlier chapters, but damn.... of all the methods of executing someone, beating them to death with a bat is unnecesary long and painful. He really put a show for the others to see. Even the selfbeating was only a performance. I knew something dark was going to happen but damn. Poor father. Poor Teach who had to witness something that horrific... and then he can go and still love Guwon after that??? Thank god this is not like twd because who could or would.
Guwon deserved that slap. Even if later we found out that the father was guilty of something else, the way Guwon handled the punishment is too gruesome. He could just shoot him or anything else less bloody. They needed to put on a show and an example... and with a smile and a speech.
Well, Guwon pretty much just follow orders too even if he's the leader because I don't believe he thought of that laws by himself. But damn, hope teach, teach him about having mercy and being a forgiving and much wiser leader.
Ah but i forgot... teach likes or at least seems to be a bit incline to violence or pain too, from his memories. Or maybe not.

This was such a hard read... mc gets raped about 80% of this. It's depressing and infuriating.
But worthy because of the ending. I really disliked everyone except the main couple and well, yona's mom and dad.
Yona had an amazing glow up in both looks and personality.
100% worth it if you can stomach all that abuse and rape.

Ohhhh this was so wholesome until the last few chapters... like wtf, i feel robbed hhaaha
I guess ml's behaving as he always was when he was a mercenary and he didn't confess because he couldn't believed he could be mc's lover with the betrayal so now he went full asshole on him to make mc hate him or be wary of people like him (that want to 'hurt' him) even if mc told him that he wouldn't marry because of him? ML's is a fucking idiot. Like rlly. He made a turn that everyone was shocked.
I'm still rooting for him because is all an act. Well, he's a brute and a pervert but mc liked that. It was more consensual. Those last chapters felt kinda random but at the same time they aren't because ML had his intrusive thoughts since the beginning...
The lack of communication of these two was shocking. Why couldn't he told him about the letteeeeeeeer..... surprise is the one he got but it was sad because he wanted to be a romantic act....
I don't believe ml was a pedo when he told him that since the beginning he wanted to do it with him. He was charmed by him when mc was young, like a merman he said, but it was when mc as an adult had sex in front of him, that his mind went straight to the gutter. Before that, he did his job as a caretaker and bodyguard. Nothing else. Mc flirted with him too but since when, who knows, but ml didn't lay a hand of him until he was 21, and it was consensual. Maybe it's the translation or the novel gives more details about this?

This was weird and fast. I suppose he's dreaming? Because I don't believe jerk mugo would want to share him with anyone anymore. And their faces turned black like when he was with those forest spirits. So he must have that lingering energy o something in him so he's dreaming those kind of things... right?
Mc really needs a serious talk with glasses mugo. Mc's been so lost and broken since he was rejected, as a 'person' and a sacrifice. He doesn't have an identity now and rely on whoever shows him kindness and care. Both of those mugos, jerk and monster, want mc in selfish ways (for now) and like mc said, he's there if he can be of any use and be protected.
With one word his world crumbled, his beliefs shaken and now, he doesn't understand why he's there and alive. He needs help but if that wasn't a dream and those two really jumped him.... well, that's the route this is gonna take till the plot gets serious again.
Finally, a little bit of suspense and mystery. That detective needs to put to work that single braincell he has.
