The lying is such a turn off, I thought at least they'd clear up some stuff before fucking for the first time seeing how it took them so long to get there but noooo. And it's pretty pointless lying too, why is he keeping it up.
I'm dropping it despite the sexual tension being good. Good luck to those sticking with it.
Anyone else got that gut-sinking feeling when those two were fucking? Like when you find out someone's cheated on you.. Gotta give it to the author, they know how to make me feel like shit lol
Fuck you, Jiho. Yeah yeah, you've got all this trauma and you're a mess, we get it. But I hope Yoojoon never comes back to you after all the crap you've been pulling.
Idec if he goes all the way with this dude, let them be a mess together, maybe he'll at least not put himself in too much danger. I know I'm just coping, but I wish he'd just give Yoojoon some closure so he can move tf on with his life.
I feel so freaking selfish, I want them to continue for like 50 more chapters of main or side stories until I'm satisfied....
Ofc I can only accept that's just how things work for many valid reasons (organic end of a project, time/money implications, author's choice etc), but when the characters and the dialogue are so entertaining I don't want it to end. Grief for the end of a story suckssss :(
Idk what messed up sexual relationships have created distorted standards for some of you, but Taehan is objectively, intentionally manipulative. He's not the worst person out there, but his behaviour has been bad.
An experienced person who's considerate and honest would NOT suggest to be fuck buddies with someone whom he KNOWS is utterly inexperienced and clearly has feelings for him, while the former is also actively blurring the boundaries of that relationship to keep Danwoo into it, despite knowing he'll get hurt down the line. Ofc Danwoo is responsible for his choices, but Taehan is responsible for being contradictory with him with his actions and sending mixed signals on purpose. That's the reason why many readers dislike him, bc he's intentionally leading Danwoo on. Not bc he doesn't want a commited-romantic relationship. Also, if Danwoo learns abt Woori's feelings and doesn't cut off the sexual aspects of their relationship if he's not into him the same way, it'll be just as wrong.
Even IRL though, some mess is understandable when figuring things out in relationships and in our feelings, it's just that Taehan has been exploiting the situation at Danwoo's expense and that makes him most unlikeable. Still, readers can like him despite all that (they could like him even if he was a full on red flag, who cares in fiction), let's just not pretend he's not doing anything wrong.
Seo-In THE TOP THAT YOU ARE BECOMING!! The fact he conked out after seeing Yeongwoon cum (and probably half-heard him say he loved it the first time) and he didn't even finish himself.. He was riding high on feeling like himself for once (instead of an extension of his brother) and satisfying Yeongwoon like his consciousness literally depended on it. He was loving it himself and was desperate for the feeling to be mutual
I can't stop thinking how Maximilian knowing that he's losing his sight and having decided to sacrifice himself for the future of his country, finally made one selfish choice.To be close to Jean whom he'd loved for so long and share intimacy, even under pretense in those circumstances. His painting didn't even really require him to be looking at Jean for his likeness. He just wanted to spend as much time relishing the last chances he had to see him, to undisturbedly stare at him to his heart's content, while he still had his vision and his life.
The pacing of the developments and revelations are near perfect to evoke the whole range of emotions. And a character like Maximilian is devastatingly beautiful.. It hurts :(
The mom is impressive, she just keeps making every wrong choice there is. Lady, being a homophobe in pride month and trying to keep your abusive dead son's memory clean at the expense of living ppl who are also his victims, is very ballsy (idiotic) of you and a sure way of alianating your other kid even further. Here's a mom-of-the-year star for you ☆
I was NOT expecting to become so invested in these characters, but here we are! I thought it would've been just a smutty, messed up short (and while it partially is that - and I like it) it's got depth and intrigue and development! I wish it was a full story, but I'm still happy with what we get :<
This story is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Author really invested 100% in every single of the AUs T_T I have so much respect and appreciation for them!!
It would've been "mutual assault" even if Jaehyuk had hit him, excuse me mr cop?? It would've been self defence if he hit that guy back in an attempt to restrain him out of fear of going after Garam again (like, instead of running away). Either laws in SK are that different or they're exaggerating for effect and it's annoying
Bottom is giving DL vibes.
DL meaning down low refers to gay men who live straight but are gay asf. They marry women and have children so they can be gay in peace often times being pathological cheaters.
I like TJ as a character more than the other 2, but I still wouldn't want him back together with Ian unless they're truly both done with the gang life and TJ isn't gonna be for a while (if ever). He chose this way to make it up to Ian and to still hold something akin to guilt over him so he won't forget him that easily.
As for Jo, dude's becoming a mess and getting involved in stuff that's way over his head for a "love" that's not much more than lust and curiosity at this point. Also, if Ian rly cared for him, he would've packed up and left together with him already to have a fresh start somewhere safe for both. This relationship of theirs is far from a priority to him though and he's subconsciously using him to either feel normal or to fill the gap that TJ left and I actually wish he'd leave Jo be instead of dragging him further down.
"Rape is rape" . Yes, obviously. And fictional rape doesn't affect anything in real life, except the idea/mention of it potentially triggering some of the readers who are responsible for managing themselves and what they consume.
It can still garner an audience and the story can still be enjoyed. If it triggers you, you can ignore the piece of media, you can dislike it, discuss your perspective even from a very realistic pov if you're inclined to.
What you DON'T have the right to do is police/censor the topics that an author can write, confuse exploring/depicting a dark theme with an author or the readers condoning/encouraging it irl and assume anything about their moral values in general, let alone attack them for it.
Anyway, I'm so happy the spin off is here and I'm wondering how the heck can that little twerp Yuta ever come back after pulling this crap on Seunghyun..
Teacher never thought he'd be giving a lesson on THAT subject, but he's not complaining.
Also, my early guesses about Guwon are
1) The throwing up has nothing to do with him being insincere with their intimacy, but it's a physical reaction bc of smth else going on with his body/mind. Blushing like that afterwards means he either lied about everything but still finds teach cute or that he said the truth and the other personality is also affected by the kiss, but in a more expressive/experienced (human, even) way.
2) I alr guessed that he had amnesia and (again, unless he lied abt it all) now I think part of it is having another personality that does remember the past, but no idea how&why the other is activated except that it happens at night instead of sleeping. The fact he slept through the night seemingly for the first time in this ep. maybe shows he let his guard down and the other personality didn't take over, but could it have repercussions for the town if he's not there to watch over at night with the memories/knowledge of the other personality?
3) I think he's a zombie that was experimented on and fused with a living person's consciousness so they could achieve immortality, hence the 2 personalities. But what's the purpose of the town then? To gather capable living humans so they can also be made immortal?
So many scenarios and Jinwoo is even more of an unknown, but I think he mostly had to make tough choices for his survival. Anyway, I'm just speculating and theorizing cause it's fun and the author is making one of the most interesting stories, I love them for that!
