Jahan is probably going to die. . .Right now is the perfect time for him to get kidnapped. I think that somehow it will end up being Taehan's fault and Hawon will blame him for it. Hell, I think it might drive him a little crazy, because that will be a big loss for him. I would be really surprised if Jahan survives this series. The moment I saw him, I knew he was a sacrificial lamb. One of those characters you can't really hate no matter if they might be annoying. The innocent type who needs to be protected, but always gets in trouble. And Hawan just left him alone during a time when he's become the biggest target to everyone around him, making Jahan the easiest collateral possible...
Haaaa~ I hope that Tangbang can keep him safe, but our little Angy has his limitations....also, I think Tangbang is hella sexy. I'd take him in a heartbeat.
9/10 Hayoon is in debt because of his father who has suddenly gone missing. When a rich man steps in and not only takes over the debt but says he'll cancel it if Hayoon plays as his personal boytoy, Hayoon really has no choice. He doesn't want to play more than his part, but his feelings get in the way and so does Kwon's family drama. But Hayoon soon finds out that Kwon's family drama is closer to home than he realizes. A story of forgiveness, boundaries and healing.
A lot of people seem to have forgotten that Maythan is from another world, this is a game scenario in which his character dies horrifically, and his main goal is to not get involved with any main characters of the game so as not to meet that same end. He's losing what little control he had rapidly and is trying to stay out of it but keeps getting forced into situations that put him together with someone of the main plot. All he wants is to live quietly and peacefully, because he has no idea what's going to happen to himself when and if he dies in this game.
... but this chapter made me look at Ethan as though he had pruny skin. The color was just this side of too pale. Lol

6/10 It's heavy in the psychological tag, so be wary. Eric has a past ripe with abuse. While using the military to run away from part of it, he had to come back at some point. But reentering his college is dredging up old memories he'd rather forget. Can he cope with his CPTSD enough to maybe believe in another person, and possibly himself? Pretty artwork, steady pacing. Quick read.
I'm kinda stuck on the fact that he was his grandpa in another life. . .
I'm gonna read it anyway, but that keeps floating into my brain and making me gag a little.
The lovely misinterpretations of prophecies. Of course she's the one to put the devil to sleep. By loving him, he no longer feels the urge to destroy anything. And heaven help anyone that seeks to come between that.
So Jw gave him the hickey and SH fingered his mouth. Very obvious. Although, I could see SH doing both but JW saw the hickey business and hot curious.
You know, I had a boyfriend once with the last name Prince. He was as handsome as one toom dirty blind hair, swimmers build, green eyes and a killer smile. Don't know how I snagged that one. Better friend than boyfriend and I regret the loss of the friendship because we dated. . Anyway, Yoojun reminds me of him in a way. Arrogant, cocksure, selfish and a coward.
So he forced me to go to his family 's for Xmas. Not that I didn't like his family or had plans with mine, but we hadn't even dated for a year and it was out of my comfort zone. He practically ignored me the whole time. I was dirt poor to the point where I couldn't feed myself some days. I had been able to scrimp and save and hide money from my stealing mother enough to buy him an expensive watch. I wrote "hoping that you'll think of me all the time" on the card. So much cheese. . .Anyway. I didn't get jack squat from him. Not even a card. And you know what happened? Literally the 26th he and I were messaging on FB while he was at work and he told me he wanted to break up. And then a week later he had the audacity to ask to be friends w/benefits...............I did agree, but we only slept together twice after that before it was just too weird. I felt so dirty and used even though it was my choice. This is how Yoojun makes me feel. No shower will ever wash away that kind of grime. ┗( T﹏T )┛
While it is predictable in the way they're coming back together, especially with Kwon's entanglements (been typical kdrama stuff since early 2000s), what really bothers me is the fact that they all use "mr" and the full name. I get that that's very typical of Korean culture, but I'm actually surprised they didn't change that for the English translations. Just an annoyance though. I'm glad they're getting back together and nothing insane happened.
Pretty realistic in a sense. Removing the supernatural side of it, the emotions, the back and forth, the drama is very realistic. How Jooin handled it was also pretty normal for someone going through a first love with low self-esteem who doesn't know what they want out of a relationship. Yawhi, too. He has to come to terms with himself in a lot of ways and sometimes the only way to do that is to lose something precious to you to realize that youneed to mature emotionally before you can even try to be with someone else.
I've been more "team everyone needs to spend some serious time learning about themselves" throughout this whole debacle. I still think Jooin needs to do some soul searching. It's great that he realizes that he's been so fickle and why, and that he finally realizes what he wants out of a relationship, what he's willing and not willing to compromise with. But now he needs to spend time getting comfortable with that information, learning to love himself and growing that backbone everyone needs to be happy. Cain, too, I think will benefit from some time away from Jooin to learn to be happy on his own and less emotionally dependent on Jooin, because that is not healthy.
I'm a little shocked this didn't take a darker turn, like most manhwa, but I'm glad it's more of a reality check than a drama check. It hits home more that way, I think.
I'm still not a huge fan of Cain, and I seriously think Jooin and Yahwi could work after a few years of growing up away from each other, but obviously Cain is the end here. Maybe it's the way this whole thing was written, but I still feel like Cain's backstory and the whole supernatural aspect doesn't fit with the rest of the story. It seems like the author had Cain's character for a separate story altogether but used it here when people started to hate Yahwi so much. Do I dislike Cain? Not at all. I just don't think his character plot fits everything else this story had going on. It's a major disconnect. And the way this whole thing was written does not make Cain seem like a main character or contender here. He always seemed like an afterthought, the underdog (no pun intended) that everyone dismisses, and the character brought in to stir things up only to fade away at some point. A side character, basically. While every character deserves a happy ending with their MC, I certainly don't feel like Cain's character earned it in a writing sense. (Not that he as a person doesn't, but just from an objective sense as a writer his character doesn't meet the criteria of the main focus end-all guy.) It's probably just the way this was set up, the way it was focused and the overall feel of the manwha. Cain just doesn't make sense in this story. Still like him. Hope he gets his happy end, but I wish his character had been used in a separate story completely outside of this universe.
Did the artwork get worse? Continuity between panels and logistics between movements seems to be getting worse too....what happened?
This chapter seemed like the panels were out of order. I mean, it's not too hard to rearrange them in my head, but damn.
That poor child is caught between his parents. Wanting to be everything his mother expects him to be and wanting nothing more than his father's attention and approval. All the while, both are toxic individuals with only their pride on their minds. I feel so badly for him. He has no options, no power, and he's going to make mistakes that are irreversible and will never get him what he wants. If anything, Ray would be the best mentor for him, but he can't even have that because Jiskar is too much of an obsessed prick to allow any type of freedom or kindness to his child and Ray.... I really hope that Shirak gets a happy ending of any sort but I don't feel like this comic is going that route for anyone. Death seems to be looming overhead for everyone involved.
Not only does this story give some pretty bad advice wrapped up as supposed good advice, but the artwork is pretty bad. It does get better after season 2, don't get me wrong, but the only saving grace is the seme's face. The continuity for movements from panel to panel is really off, making a lot of the poses and overall scene really awkward. General depth and continuation of flow to where body parts would actually be had the panel been larger is severely lacking. The sotey had a good general theme, olive if it has been done a million times, but the reasoning behind the main plot point was shallow and lacked severity for the reaction. The consequence/punishment didn't match the crime, in a sense. I also have no idea what happened in the second season to the uke's mouth, but there are some scenes where it's just weird as hell. The while drawing style is quite flat, as I mentioned before about the depth. Also, the "love rival" is a throw away. The story didn't need him, he made no major impact romantically, and was completely useless. He also disappeared just as quickly as he came. I saw no point in making him seem like a bigger player in the game than what he actually was.
I mean, if you're looking for something to kill time with, sure. Read it. It has some funny moments, but nothing is wrapped up smoothly and there are many plot holes left unfulfilled. Expressions, too, are hard to decipher on the characters so that's another loss. The whole thing was rather one-note. Kind of boring and disjointed and missing something important. Like chemistry, depth and general good writing capabilities. Is what it is. You can't have every manga be a good one. This one is mediocre at best. Not terrible, not good. Just bleh.
