You can criticize Ian but how you do it is what important. Slutshaming him is not the way. I admit I'm tired of Ian indecisiveness but that doesn't mean I don't understand why he's like that. Ian still has this codependency with tj, so even though he enjoys himself with Jo, Ian still has that horrible habit of letting tj do what he wants despite Ian himself not necessarily wanting it. We saw this behavior in chapter 26 a bit and in that chapter tj tell himself "you been mine" which actually parallels to tj saying the hat is his when Ian ask for it back.
Completely agree you with. People think it’s easy for Ian to drop TJ overnight when they’ve been around each other for what, 19 years or something like that? It’s not easy when you develop a codependency like they’ve done.
This. Like yeah I don’t really like it but there’s obviously a reason he is so attached to TJ.
Saw few panels of the new chapter and Ian is not once please with tj behavior. He's look so angry and how he kept his eyes open when tj kissed him lol but it's funny people keep saying that when Ian said he was miserable when tj left is romantic. When it wasnt romantic, it was literal because tj left right after Ian gave him the answer he wanted and didn't even bother to reassure Ian or give him truth. Ian was miserable because he was left with tj mess.
lol
A few still defending tj fuckass actions as if it's an excuse. 'The gang is homophobic" yeah no shit but tj bitch ass still publicly displays Ian sexuality in from of his gang, why you think yang had the audacity talk behind Ian back when tj called Ian for a booty call. Stop using that as an excuse for is actions towards Ian. He can flaunt his nasty behavior with women anywhere but why in front of Ian of all people when he knows, especially when this isn't the first time. And deal with it, this chapter basically confirm tj is a cheater, though it's not important to the story, I get sex partners and flings but dude is in an official relationship and readers are allowed to mention and be displeased about it.
Also why is the fanscaner giving the chapters titles when the chapters don't have titles? We get it you bias that's why the translations are very off.
I'm sorry if this rude but if yall getting confused on a detailed story that's yall own fault. Because the author been very diligent in telling us what is happening. Either this isn't meant for you because this just shows yall not interested in the story because you only care about endgame. Because what exactly are yall confused on?
Also whoever is mtl the chapters just stop already, we have the official translation uploaded now
I honestly surprised by mangago commenter's. Usually they're so surface level reading, and with wetsand I see it alot, esp on twtter and tiktok, with their idiotic takes that are all just fanon. But here, for the first time I see a mangago section with readers with common sense and literacy reading skills. I'm so happy that I love coming to the comment section because I'm never really disappointed here (ofc with a few expectations).
I mean it's been so obvious with how the narrative is being told on who is more worthy in showing Ian protection and reassurance, see him Ian to eye. It not that hard to see and if you don't see it at this point, that's your own fault.
Literally omg like I see mangago readers in comments of like any toxic bl or any love triangle and it’s like just mindless takes but in these comments people actually can read
Some of yall are hypocrites. I remember when Ian said he would kill for tj so many went happy crazy over it because Ian cared so much abt tj but when Ian actually killed for Jo suddenly it's an oppsite reaction then blame Jo for not being good enough to stop Ian.
Anyway, the finale of S2 shows how deeply rooted Ian trauma still is. The long term aftereffects never really disappear. Jo finally put in moral complexity which he risk his own idea for the safety of Ian, which no one has really done for Ian own sake.
Actually it’s a mix match. Everyone is a hypocrite. Like the people who were saying TJ is some kind of villain, who are now cheering when Ian and Jo let someone die. It’s not one side that’s acting different. All sides are. Personally, I’m enjoying this turn of events. I hope everyone can now stfu about how this or that person is wrong for this or that person. Those three suit each other regardless of who ends up with whom.
He should stomped him some more coming after Jo like that ! I don’t fck with TJ so I agree with everything you said!
This story ain't about tj. Get that through your thick ass skulls. "I came only for tj" then get piss when he doesn't show, it ain't about him. I find it ridiculous funny seeing others say tj needs find someine who love and treats him better but yall do realize Ian the way he is, is because of tj coward ass, his manipulation, and guilt tripping.
"But tj admitted it already, its development"
He been admitting it since the beginning of S1, he always knew and admitted its wrong but continue to do it, him leaving is not development when he knew that leaving put ian in danger (he has his ppl keeping an eye on Ian since he left) and needs to actually apologize and make up for those actions rather than thinking him being gone is something good when him to trying get the big boss would still directly involve Ian.
Then all this talking about tj needs a new love interest when that bastard will still choose the gang over the new love interest like he does with Ian. Asking for his own story when you already have it and it shows him being the absolute trash that he is. If you want a red flag so bad go red those red flag ml stories that aren't a love triangle.because it's shown Ian wants and needs a better life always from the gang yall and tj keep forcing him.
REAL
PREACH
Cry yourself out, baby tj is going to show up and smoothen up these chapters as it actually should be. This is a fucking drama/thriller/triangle genre. And this cant happen with just ian and basic ass jo
ARE YOU SERIOUS.did we READ RHE SME MANHWA?? did you just skip the chapters where it shows how ian himself wanted to escape from the gang lifestyle,you just see tj as this hero whos gonna swoop and save the day just because jo is "basic" ,did you read with your eyes closed when its so obvious how toxic his relationship with ian is??? you call a healthy relationship "basic" just shows how addicted you are to negative media,i dont even underdstand the "tj is gna come and smooth everything out" WHEN THATS LITERALLY WHAT JO IS DOING.god i hate readers like you
fr fr there are toxic x toxic trope out there like hannibal and will for example, but in wet sand it doesn’t work like that dawg that “basic” life they always complain about is what ian want the most
basic you said?? oh honey you're not even caught up with the s2 ending yet, you dont know what's coming
Ooh what now will he stand against tj for ian
Sure TF is and who is going to check him… TJ you think Jo is really afraid of some fcking TJ lmao. I can tell Jo isn’t afraid of TJ he what I think he is trying not to do is enter that lifestyle because if you look at Jo’s eyes in certain chapters he has that dog in him. I don’t think Jo is afraid to shoot and kill someone in the name protecting them. You sound like a lame please go back to read PG mangas and stop playing with adults time !
Ngl it makes me so damn happy seeing for the first time Ian being very clingy and sharing skinship. I never knew he'll be so cute when he's comfortable. Also the realization Ian had when he remembered how he thought Jo was just someone who would leave anyway was a big step in him talking notice that Jobis much more to him than before. It's a develop for him, Jo and for readers.
How do people read "His guilt is my insurance policy" and still root for tj? tf
Because "he's sooo hot so it's okay that he's a toxic POS"
And he's not even hot lol he looks like he's tripled in age
I think its less about rooting for him and more empathizing with him. Its the desperation of wanting to keep someone you love close no matter how selfish it is. The lengths he would take to keep ian around and safe. ^__^ i think people prefer tj because his route is/was emotionally charged. Im pretty sure joseph is endgame though so theres nothing to worry about LOL
"safe" is CRAZY
is he not doing that ? LOL idk i feel like even if his methods are extreme (sending him to prison, forbidding him from going to gang hotspots, etc) he still keeps him relatively safe..?. lmk your thoughts though i might be wrong lol
He’s not thinking that him putting himself in the gang world, he’s also dragging Ian with him so no, not safe. Especially when he knows Ian feels guilty and tries to be by his side 100%.
And let’s not forget that TJ also had sex with Ian in the hotel room where Ian has trauma with due to Ian killing a subordinate there. He doesn’t seem to gaf ngl.
So yeah idk about it being safe.
Fun fact ppl miss. Yes its the same hotel (the author confirm in a space talk in 2022) and its exactly across the room Ian use to live in where he killed his subordinate. Tj is disgusting and Ian let's him get away with too much due to his guilt. Tj calling Ian for a booty call knowing very well it's across the room where Ian kill someone. A regret Ian has that traumatized him. The room where for the first time Ian had a suicide thought, pointing the gun at himself. That same room which tj decided to stay across from. Disgusting.
wooaahhhh I did not know that. Could it be that he chose that specific room to guilt trip Ian everytime he called him ?
Most likely. And there's a theory that it's possible tj is the one when sent the subordinate. Because during the scene Ian questions why would the 2nd one guy. Knowing that Ian himself is strong and when tj walks in he has little to no reaction regarding what happen but is shock to hear there's a witness. Again this one is just a theory but it makes sense especially by how he's stay in the exactly hotel and floor the incident happen.
My bad, horrible wording. Let me rephrase. Ian questions why the ones that put a hit on him didn't send a group of 3. Since one guy is weak, especially for a pro like him.
Trash dude.
Ian has sex with tj one time after months apart and suddenly everything else goes out the window for yall? It's very obvious why Jo character is there in the story. It's like yall forget context simply because a smut scene. Bffr.
