The first chapters of S1 sort of threw me off because I couldn't really understand how they got together in the first place, what connected them, etc, but the last chapters of S1 were REALLY good. I'm ngl, sometimes the sex scenes distracted from the plot rather than assisting it and I think the fact that they dwindled down in the latter chapters contributed to why I found the story to be getting so much better. This author definitely has a good hold on psychological horror (as seen from their other work 'Efforts never betray,' which was amazing btw), so when they started leaning into it...MAN, this comic really snapped into place! Hope the author keeps it up in season 2!
Same i stopped reading it after chapter 1 thinking it would be something like reverse thinking or sadistic beauty but i gave it a second chance and it's so good. I love how the last chapter of s1 ended, you could tell what was going on but it wasn't shown a second time. The author does such a great job portraying the psychological horror elements.
I can't get *too* angry at the older many-ears. Staying under the radar has been how they've survived for generation. They think it's genuinely dangerous for them to stand out, so it makes sense that they would be unsettled. To them, Iruma's lessons are setting them up for failure, and maybe even death. They would be left "helpless" in the real world, and they would stray away from "crucial" survival techniques. They wanted protection for their children, not more danger down the road! It's not that they just hate change, it's that they have been taught that this SPECIFIC change would be life-threatening. ( ̄へ ̄)
He's simple-minded. Taesook mainly cares about doing the things he wants and lets his impulses guide him. Unfortunately, he considers girls to be entertainment/objects of lust to satisfy some of those impulses. He tends to pursue fun and interesting things, and Kang Hyomin is fun to hang around. Part of why he seems to treat Gaeul (no makeup) as more of a person is because she's proven herself to have depth by falling into that category. Not only that, but since she's just a "four-eyes" she can't be considered an object of lust. This is the only reason a friendship between the two is possible.
I think the guy in Iltak's flashback (the one who confessed to him and ended up getting bullied by him) is actually the orange-haired guy. It makes perfect sense and would explain his fixation on messing with Iltak. I can almost TASTE this reveal, bro! ( ̄¬ ̄)
I think that guy will come later, maybe as a new student but I don't think he's the boy with orange hair, if you search on the internet there's a cover with the protagonist and the two rivals, but there's also a third character who can be seen from behind, I'm very sure that he's the rejected boy and he'll be the third rival









The way they blamed the mother for not wanting to get intimate ONE TIME SIX YEARS AGO while she was likely suffering from postpartum depression right after GIVING BIRTH is absolutely crazy!!
What a manchild. "You did that because you loved her so deeply, right?" YOU MEAN PUNISHING HER FOR SIX YEARS OVER NOT WANTING TO DO IT ONCE??? Pure ragebait. I would only keep reading this if I loved wasting my time- or if I was trapped in a padded room without wifi and this was the only piece of media avalaible
