Well, that was sudden.. I did not realize that was the final arc already? That jump to the timeskip felt kinda out of left field. Unless they wanna continue the story with them living together afterwards, or if they wanna expand on Gabin's relationship with Sacha
Am I happy that Sohan's dad finally fucked off? Yes! Would I be smiling if the person I love is crying bc of it? NO!!!
Sihwa ily dude but I cannot agree with that smile, even if it would've been better for Sohan it still feels hella manipulative to act like that
He isn’t human and fair to say, emotionally unintelligent. The extent of his feelings is him being happy with Sohan. Everything else is quite literally irrelevant. I could understand this sentiment if it was a completely different story, but it makes sense that this is his reaction considering what we’ve seen of him till this point. We can only hope that he learns and grows…..and that Sohan is patient enough to handle that, under the assumption Sihwa is willing to be better.
Sohan is probably the most down to earth character I've ever seen. I was opposed to him taking his father back because it clear he hadn't changed (he literally found him in a casino ffs) but I was glad to see it doesn't seem to be for stupid reasons. We'll have to see what that favor is about, but I hope Sohan understands blood relation doesn't always equal family, some blood relatives are best left behind lest they drag you down with them
Bro almost had sex with him, said "NO!", then 5 minutes later proceeded to try and kiss the guy in his sleep??? Not sure if hypocritical or just plain stupid, or both. All the progress he made trying to say "you don't do that with a person who saved you!" to a man who's clearly unwell and mentally fragile (which was good, because that boy should NOT be having sex rn) got thrown right out the window
I may have read it wrong, but I understood it that way that this guy didn’t object bc he’s righteous and thinks this is not a good thing to do, but because that the other was not as he was portrayed in the novel (shy, mild tempered or smth, just not the type to suddenly jump someone and have s3x). Basically reality was not as fiction? He wanted to see the soft, crying side of him???
Idk something like that. It was weird that he said „he had to cry“ and described how the other guy was portrayed in the novel, so he had expectations that weren’t mad and took matters into his own hands?
Maybe I’m just overthinking, but really, if he really shouts „NO“ first then sneaks up on him in his sleep for no particular reason, it would be weirder than if he just had a screw loose, like apparently everyone of the two others hahaha
Tbh I don't understand Heo's reasoning in general. I had assumed Heo was being reasonable when he said Soowon shouldn't be trying to sleep with someone to show his gratitude (especially when he just tried to off himself and was very fragile mentally), because obviously that's the correct approach; he shouldn't encourage this behavior born from the toxic relationship Soowon had, right? However, later he just had a whole 180 and remembered how much he wanted Soowon because of what he read in the novel, which is why he felt satisfaction when he saw him cry, so basically: I interpreted Heo was trying to be a reasonable person an help Soowon's mental state by denying sex since it would only make him worse, but his temptation won him over and he went back on his word and tried to kiss him in his sleep, basically doing exactly what Soowon did to him mere moments prior. That's why I called him a hypocrite/stupid, he was acting well but then decided to continue encouraging Soowon's weird complex because he's probably obsessed with him, they're both very unhealthy tbh
Mannnn I haven't liked a story so much in a hot minute! Can't wait for the side stories
I understand it wasn't really the younger bro's fault, but it still feels scummy that he took his brother's beloved for himself— at least he was aware of it, although dying was not a punishment, he just got his guilt cut short while still getting to live a happy life for the time he had. Also it seems that Hirono and the other dude got together in the end?? At least that's what I got from the afterword, since the og ending just looked like they became good friends?? That feels kinda bad idk, like he's some sort of rebound; one twin died so the guy snatched the other one??
For the second story: fuck Sei bro. Idek what was going through his head still, the cheating was his wife's fault, and yet he took it out on Ruka, got Ruka to like him and them just dipped?? He also forgave his cheating wife?????? Hello????? Tbh it was for the best, the trash took itself out and went to live with the other trash it was married to, a match made in a fucking dumpster; bartender beta was a better choice but he barely got any character development other than in the afterword a little bit
...Did I just read 3 chapters of romanticized rape, coercion and blackmail? Well ig I should pay better attention to the reviews next time..
I'm 99% sure duke is gonna be endgame, which is the clichê bad boy vs perfect prince kinda romance trope that you can see coming from a mile away. Ofc tho I get attached to the one guy who's forgotten: poor Cedric, probably the only one who hasn't harassed Maythan so far, but ig authors are allergic to good male leads.
Besides that, poor Rosie don't deserve this shit man, she's way too focused on Kael as expected, but pls just go be with your woman already, she's waiting for you
What a beautiful story, so happy to have had accompanied it.
