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.

Ilay is so hot

I know people were complaining about the new art style, but I actually really love it now

Thank god he’s alive and not too badly hurt.
And the only number he has memorized??? They’re so cute

So glasses hired dochan cause he thought he was hot?? Bro.
using his relationship to eunoh to bother Joohyuk is a bonus

this manhwa always makes me feel like shit. It’s impossible for me to follow this weekly, and pm every time I catch up on chapters I regret it
