What’s the point of the annoying side couple? When I saw those bitches in the extras, it was an immediate skip

Can he please change his clothes and shower, cause he looks so dirty

Uhh he’s gonna get older before they do anything right?? Cause rn he looks like a literal child, like he looks so tiny

But for real unless you have an actual conversation, how can you be sure you’re dating? Are you supposed to read their mind? Like you can assume, but you have to actually talk about it to know for sure

My empathy for Joohyuk only extends so far. He is obviously in pain and struggling since eun-oh essentially dumped him. But bro come on, eun-oh only dumped you because you treated him like shit.

Instead of moping around, what he needs to do is some self reflection. And probably therapy (he threatened to burn the church down ???)

considering his bad mental state and the fact he’s drunk, I’m worried about what will happen in the next chapter. Bro this is your chance to NOT hurt eun-oh and just leave him alone. Please. eunohs dealt with enough of your nonsense. No more SA please please

The manhua is great and has beautiful art, but so many things didn’t get adapted. Plus the manhua was axed. The novel is truly amazing, wu zhe is a great story teller. I think reading the novel is the best way to fully experience cheng ke and jiang yuduos relationship and individual character development

The art is so beautiful

Bro how did I only just find out this is based on a novel??? Now I need to figure out where to read it cause wtf ?!! No wonder the characterization and internal monologues are so good

I understand that people don’t like this season so far, but it has alleviated some of the concerns I had from last season. At the end of the last season, I was worried about je-oh accepting this new position. It was a similar path to Ms. J: going from prostitute, to running prostitutes. I was concerned with how he act. I didn’t want to see a character I adored hurt others that were like his former self. I didn’t want to see him prove Ms. j right and become like her.

It hurts seeing Je-oh struggle, but I think so far this season clearly establishes je-oh is uncomfortable with his new position. He has flashbacks to his trauma. Although he selected that young boy to be a prostitute, and let him (presumably) be SAed by the boss, je-oh was obviously conflicted with it. And later on, when a client was being abusive, je-oh smashed a bottle on his head. While Ms. J set up young Jeoh as a pawn (giving him the knife), jeoh intervened and stopped the client.

I haven’t read ahead in the raws, so I’m not sure where the story will go. But I wouldn’t be suprised if future episodes center the “thriller” elements again. Jeoh is in a precarious position. Not only do his underlings not respect him, but considering Ms. J’s husband/fiance is going to be a politician, she will likely come after jeoh at some point. Since his new position gives him some protection, even if he wanted to, he can’t really quit.

Overall I’ve personally enjoyed this season. I like seeing Jeoh’s character being explored like this. (No I don’t like the rape and SA, but some of those scenes were flashbacks that we as an audience already knew had happened). Especially based on the nearly 60 episodes of amazing writing from the previous seasons, I have hope the creator will progress the story in an interesting direction.
It makes sense jeoh is struggling from his past traumas.
