ok yall I DID read this manhwa and the other BL manhwa in question (bless that BL. chef’s kiss for everything made by that author) but my one cent here is that….. I can definitely see where people r coming from. looking at the twitter thread, u can see me raising the rock eyebrow but like??? sm other manhwas do the same thing, essentially recycling the trope over and over again. I’ve probably see that scene ran through and rebranded multiple times in different smut manhwas (NOT TO DEFEND THIS). I just don’t get why CLC’s author would get a maniacal freak out and threaten to sue when this matter could’ve been settled in SO MANY other ways like GIRL take a class on PR and learn how to control urself

im a hardcore BL fan and even I think that this isnt THAT serious of a case of plagiarism. Sure, one could say the similarities in that one scene are uncanny BUT like it’s just that one scene in general? I’ve seen the same trope played out so many times in both BL, GL, heck other straight stories of similar premises. Bottom line is: all smut manhwas are similar to each other in some sense. It was not as though the author had taken the same characters and printed them in another font. There are so many other different elements that separates CLC from the other BL work like do you rlly see that suspicious bitch sunbae in the other story?? No!!
Plagiarism is too strong of a word applicable to this case of just one scene and covers happening to resemble each other. Again, I’m a casual reader and I don’t have much time to correctly read through everything but just based off the Twitter thread alone,,,doesn’t rlly look like substantial evidence just being honest

No fr I have read both stories and I’m like everyone is going so hard on the author for a similar scene? Like we don’t all see similar scenes, art and characters in BL stories ALL the time made by multiple different authors and artists. Some people have acted like she literally copy and pasted the short from the other story.

Everybody talking about “she copied from 6 other authors” “she copied exactly everything from the bl manhwa” and I’m like… that’s exactly how the manhwa industry goes. every work is an amalgamation, a fusion, a mixture or a blend of every preceding trope and every work that has been. I’m not even trying to defend this because I’m genuinely confused. Like where IS the actual proof except the similarity between like a few covers and one sex panel LIKE someone literally point the direction to me because im so frigging confused
this is just too understandable coming from every character’s perspective to one sidedly dogpile on one character. on one hand, blue haired girl’s intentions for jinhyeong seems like they’re coming from a good place but it’s a place without forethought and consideration for the other person’s party. but since we’re not omnipotent beings who can interpret thoughts from looking at a face, it’s also easy to ignore signs cuz not all of us are experts on deciphering body language. but what’s glaringly obvious was that jinhyeong was REEKING with dissatisfaction and again!! she ignored it with an excuse she was doing it for his “own good” or leveraging her difficult experiences over his. i think she just wanted to be cared for or taken care of for once (which everybody expects from their bfs) but as an older person like gorl YOU should be knowing better. it seems disingenuous when ur asking ur partner to do something for u, not as a favour out of goodwill, but as a repayment for a deed you’ve done for them. it would’ve almost seemed like ur just there for transactional gains. again, it’s not inherently bad to ask help from ur partner. ITS NOT BAD AT ALL. ex gf can’t rlly be blamed cuz she wasn’t informed of the difficulties that jinhyeong was going through solely bcuz of his inability to frankly communicate his insecurities/difficulties but he also can’t be blamed cuz complete admittance is a tough task for almost anyone plus it’s a defence mechanism conditioned to protect himself. relationships are delicate and fragile so it’s such a blessing to see such a portrayal of what genuinely is a good, healthy, loving and trustful relationship in fiction. just goes to show a relationship can never be a one-way road (ex gf’s overbearing duty to take everything upon herself, jinhyeong’s hesitance to seek an honest & open relationship) tho idk cuz I’ve never dated
It's always us, the single ones, with observations like this
all fun and games until we get into an actual relationship and crash out harder
Our wisdom is gone fr
