I feel like some of the commenters aren't understanding that this world's setting is placed in an apocalypse where food and medicine is scarce at worst and limited at best. Yes, they do have a doctor that could probably do a check up with the son but ultimately there isn't ultimately there isn't much that can't be done. The child was chronically sick and in a normal world with better conditions he could've probably gotten help, but this isn't that.
Where medicine is a valuable resource in a zombie apocalypse, it's understandable (and cruel) to keep those kinds of treatment reserved for the ones that actively participate in the community to keep their village alive and going. Giving the son the medicines willfully would have been a gamble for their village's rate of survival and probably shortened ther shortage of medical supplies.
For what we know, the child could've have still ended up sick and not be able to participate with gathering the supplies and being a protective member of the village which would risk the lives of the village.
Guwon is the leader of this village (as we know of, there could be a darker source at play). He bares the responsibility of the livelihood of the entire village which includes the supplies the "Hounds" are hunting and gathering along with the insiders the village folks are storing, he also is responsible for the children (newly found) education center where he himself has to monitor what is being taught to them, but that's a bit difficult seeing as he isn't on the same educational level as the adults in the village as he takes private lessons from the teach to keep up what is at best a grade school level of education.
It's obvious that he isn't human and therefore isn't capable of understanding basic set of morals or ethics as he doesn't seem to remember anything else prior before the apocalypse came to be. It looks as though he was placed on to this leadership role despite him lacking in a few departments of qualifying to be one.
Guwon seems to think that brute force is what keeps the community in tact and takes that basic understanding into any kinds of situation where he has to uphold the leadership role without fully understanding the more ethical parts of it.
One of the villagers mentions that they had history with theft within the community before and it costed them the lives of one of their scavengers (The Hounds). Guwon seems to learn from experience and if we take into account and that the village has basically Frankenstein's monster for a leader that only seems to learn from experience and has consistently used brute force to fix any complicated issues that might disrupt the harmony of the way the village operates. It's understandable that Guwon will use the one thing he's good at. His brute.
The trial also seems to use a democratic way of giving out punishment, so it further proves that Guwon isn't the brain behind what goes and what doesn't with the rules. He takes public voiting as the nominator for what will happen.
I feel like there should be a discussion surrounding pearl boy and depictions of SA. For one, I understand that these characters work for the Yakuza and are obviously not suppose to be the pinnacle of morally good but I feel that you can have tension or a character doing bad things without resorting to SA or confinement.
I have read Pearl boy in it's entirety and can say that I'm conflicted with how this author represents trafficking and r*pe. In the original story it tries to show how horrified and hopeless Jooha feels around his situation but I always had a problem with how it often times mishandles the depictions of it, as it never really dives deep into the psychological aftermath of trauma of having Jooha trafficked.
At times I'm confused in whether the author wants me to feel for the character or simply be somehow feel aroused by it due to its angling and facial expressions.
At worst the depictions seems exploitative or at best it's there for shock value and therefore it feels unnecessary to even have SA scenes, the side story is no different and it feels like the scene with Yuta is there for mere shock value rather than have anything of substance to give in the story.
Idk I wanted to just air out my feelings around this chapter a bit ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭.
I'll be real and say that.........................................................................................................................................

I don't really like Teasung (▰˘◡˘▰). I really didn't like his demeanor during sex as it felt as though he was the only one getting something out of it, like how he's so rough with Heabom and never seems to have an initial thought of "Hey....maybe I should listen to my partner setting a clear boundary before I do anything". I don't necessarily like this because it feels as if when he actually stops and thinks about it and feels bad, the narrative has to immediately do some kinda of mental gymnastics by having Heabom say "it's okay" despite the implications of doing said act to remove any guilt of him constantly doing things he was explicitly asked.......
Anyways....rant over (=・ω・=)
I'm feeling devious today
I hate that this is probably going to be a reason for horseung defenders to justify any of that man's actions throughout the entirety of the manhwa. I hate that horseung is given this savior complex by the story as if he isn't a perpetrator himself. I absolutely hate that horseung is endgame and that most of his abusive tendencies are so brushed off. I diabolically hate that it's only Dan that's truly suffering from not having the privilege to have an alternative way of living without the sheer STENCH of horseung whilst all horseung gets is a CRUMB of what he deserves....((Sorry for the rant( ̄∇ ̄"))
I don't like the main couple of this manhwa or mainly, I can't seem to like Chunwoo's character, even if I read the story through his perspective.
Throughout the story, I think I might have been able to like his character for the complexities of being in love with a man you're in a situationship with, I might have even felt bad for him. But the reason I simply can't seem to like him will always go back to how he r*ped Taesoo. Yes, I understand that the reason Chunwoo did was because he fed up and frustrated with Taesoo's passive attitude regarding their relationship, but in no way was that r*pe warranted or necessary.
I feel as though this whole fandom forgot about it or blathently sympathies with literally anyone other than the person who got r*ped. It doesn't help the after a few chapters, The story is aware that what Chunwoo did to Taesoo was bad, but never gives Chunwoo any consequences for what he did, in fact! He gets to be forgiven and happy with Ho in as Taesoo is left to accept his feelings for Chunwoo in solitude...Does that sound like a character getting the consequences for their action at a previous chapter for r*ping "a friend" as the story lampshade said r*pe? No it doesn't...
I don't know if I'm thinking too deep about this, but I just wanted to air out my biggest frustration with this story as I truly loved the set-up but hated the execution for it....I really wanted to like this one (srry for the long ahh comment(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ).
