Now I know I might get some pushback but please reply because I really want to get some other opinions on this topic. First of all, I really think the author did a wonderful job showing how MINCHEOL NEVER GREW UP. We see Mincheol wants (to own) Haesoo, to the point of seeing his own friend as a threat to his relationship with her. And he’s happy when she shows “jealousy”—but what he fails to realize is that Haesoo is afraid of losing her only savior. She’s emotionally and physically dependent on him, so she’s scared that college will change him. Mincheol is arrogant in thinking that he can solve Haesoo’s problems because he loves her and is the only one who can forge a happy future for themselves. Yes, he’s naive and in puppy-love mode, but the deeper sentiment is that he thinks he can control everything about Haesoo and her circumstances. It is totally a pride thing. And EVEN NOW, he thinks that Haesoo WOULDN’T DARE to leave him. Mincheol started naive and prideful then, and he’s still naive and prideful in the present!

Money and circumstances were a problem yes but I don't think they were a driving force. It might be a good excuse but, I don't believe he EVER loved or cherish her. Sure he liked her but I think he just wanted to be a hero. He has admitted that she was pretty so he choose her, you could say he wanted to be the superman to her Lois Lane. Even now, in his own way he cares for her but, he will never put Haesoo before his own needs or feelings.

Notice what the teacher said? Arrogant men like him, when faced with the real world/problems they get crushed. That's exactly what happened, instead of taking accountability for his life. He sulks, and wallows in self pity, and blames everyone else for his misfortune. Even if he didn't use his tuition money to run away, he still would've, somehow found a way to blame Haaesoo, if his life wasn't going to the way he envisioned. The same with the cheating. Had an opportunity presented itself earlier, best believe he would have taken it too. It's not his circumstances, poverty, that "changed him. It's literally just him. Given the environment he was raised in it makes sense how he grew to crave control and I think no matter what life he ended up choosing it was always destined to end this way. With or without money. The saying goes "money doesn't change people, it exposes them , for who they truly were to begin with". Thank you for coming to my ted talk!

Ladies and gentlemen, friends and rivals—let me tell you why Shuryna West deserves to walk hand in hand not with just anyone, but with Corey Dubois.

First, let’s talk about trust. Shushu is a girl who has lived once already. She carries the weight of knowing how badly things can go if she meddles too much in others’ romances. More than anything, she needs someone who won’t pressure her, someone who sees her not as a convenient “bridge” to Hestia, but as her own person. And that someone… is Corey.

Corey never treats Shushu as an accessory. He listens. He laughs with her, not at her. Unlike the other men, who chase after Hestia with blind obsession, Corey is the one who notices Shushu’s struggles, her humor, her courage. He sees her—not the shadow of her best friend. Isn’t that the kind of love Shushu deserves? A love that is born from recognition, not comparison?

Secondly, Corey grounds her. Shushu may joke, play, and avoid the spotlight, but deep down she longs for stability. Corey’s calm yet steadfast nature balances her chaotic energy. He doesn’t try to control her, but he also doesn’t let her drown in her fears. He’s the partner who steadies her when her past trauma whispers that she’ll be abandoned again.

Finally, let’s remember this: Shushu is not just a side character in Hestia’s story. She’s the heroine of her own. And every heroine deserves a partner who chooses her, wholeheartedly, without hesitation. Corey Dubois is that man. While the others are entangled in their one-sided longing for Hestia, Corey’s heart points only in one direction—straight to Shushu.

So I say this: forget the noise, forget the rivals. If happiness is the destination, then the path Shushu should walk is clear. She belongs with Corey. Not because it’s convenient, not because it’s dramatic—but because it’s real.

Corey and Shushu—because true love isn’t about being the matchmaker. It’s about finally being matched, perfectly, yourself.

but i also thing other like let me speak from the heart—if Shuryna West is destined for happiness, then that path shines brightest beside Swanhaden.

Shushu has always been seen as the bridge, the stepping stone, the girl in the background. But Swan never looks at her that way. When his silver eyes fall on her, he does not see a helper or a side character—he sees the one person who can understand him, the one who makes him feel alive. And in return, he gives her something no one else can: freedom from the weight of her past.

Corey may steady her, yes. But Swan awakens her. With him, Shushu doesn’t just hide behind smiles or jokes. She grows, she dreams, she reaches for the impossible. He treats her not as someone ordinary, but as someone extraordinary—as if she is meant for more than just survival.

And that is the truth, isn’t it? Shushu is more than a matchmaker. She is a knight, a friend, a heroine. She deserves a love that doesn’t just comfort her, but transforms her. Swan is that love. With his presence, her fears dissolve. With his support, her courage blooms. With his love, she doesn’t just find happiness—she finds perfection.

So let the others chase shadows. Shushu doesn’t need a man who only sees her when it’s convenient. She deserves someone who sees her as his whole world. That is Swan. That has always been Swan.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have heard two truths tonight.

On one hand, Corey Dubois—the man who sees Shuryna West as she is, who listens, who steadies her when storms of doubt threaten to swallow her whole. With him, she finds peace, stability, and the simple but profound gift of being loved for herself.

On the other, Swanhaden—the man who looks at Shuryna not as ordinary, but as extraordinary. He awakens her, pushes her beyond limits, and shows her a love that transforms, a love that feels destined, radiant, and transcendent. With him, she doesn’t just survive—she soars.

Two men. Two futures. One rooted in the steady warmth of reality, the other shining with the brilliance of possibility.

And so it falls to us, the witnesses of her story, to decide: does Shushu deserve the gentle safety of Corey’s embrace, or the dazzling perfection of Swan’s destiny?

As for me… my heart has chosen. Corey. Because sometimes, true love isn’t about chasing the stars—it’s about finding the one who makes the ground beneath you feel like home. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Can someone give a link to where it left of here ?

This whole comment section is filled with brain dead people. His sad back story is NOT AN EXCUSE!! IT'S AN EXPLANATION!! it was foreshadowed for a very long time. It's up to you if you want to change your opinion or not.
This is chapter was supposed to explain why jaekyung is so freaking obsessed with winning because it's the thing that kept him alive, gave him food and respect.

This is where you can read the novel

https://wp.me/peoKKM-fr the link for the fan translated novel

https://wp.me/peoKKM-aN to read the light novel you can choose to restart or continue from the manhua if you choose the latter start from chapter around chapter 50

I found such a gem I don't regret clicking on this manhwa It's been a long time since I've been so invested on a bl manhwa before, I love how the audience is uncovering puzzles of the story with the main character little by little, in other stories about memory loss I feel that flashbacks are always shoved in your face and clues about what happened are so obvious but in this manhwa everything is such a mystery and the sense that not every character can be trusted. I'm glad there's a decent representation of SA in here, it's not romanticized, the r*pist doesn't get any redemption whatsoever and it presents the lasting trauma it has on the character (in other mangas/manhwas it gets brushed off) it doesn't feel like it was used for shock value but actually served a main purpose to the story. While I'm not a fan of the typical BL builds (Twink/ultra fem uke x Fridge build seme) I'm honestly giving a pass for this one just because the romance they have makes up for it, the male lead is just so RESPECTFUL and so gentle with him and I honestly can't wait to see how they met and how they started falling in love

Bro what did uke deserves to get this treatment and life just cuz of greedy people around him fuck them all especially seme can rot in hell

Just finished reading the novel and the strange thing is that I ended up loving hyun woojin for the entirety of vol 2.i was wary of him all thru out vol 1 but rooted for him so hard for the rest of the novel.
As for the mc,I like him in thep early chaps but he went downhill so fast as soon as his relationship with woojin was official .He was annoying wen they were in a relationship ,annoying wen woojin broke up with him,annoying wen they made up,still annoying wen he broke up with woojin.
To conclude,woojin's redemption arcs was the best written out of all asshole seme redemption arc . Moreover,oddly,I felt he was the most rational character in the novel.lol.I have this feeling that,if the characters ,taeshin and hayoung 's storyline were painted as a villain's in a k drama,you'd end up hating them.
Best character:the dark skin k- amer,kim jaeshin ,woojin's dead fiance mother and mc's step mother

SO I've been researching a lot because I love Greek Mythology. Sisyphus was a king in Ancient Greece whose city looked a lot like "Stillwater Town". Sisyphus's castle was at the very top of the mountain, while everyone else lived in rings circling the top going down (just like in this town). He was incredibly clever, vain, and ruthless - he thought himself to be on the same level as Zeus, and we all know what happens when someone comes for the throne.

Little time skip, but let's just say Sisyphus got in trouble with Zeus, Hades and Persephone for tricking them and skirting death on multiple occasions. In the main part of his myth, he conned Thanatos (basically the Grim Reaper) into chaining himself to a rock, thereby creating a "no more death" type situation. This pissed off Ares, who eventually freed Thanatos and sent Sisyphus to the underworld for Hades to deal with, who punished him to push a boulder up a hill for eternity and enchanting the boulder to roll back down every time it'd reach the top.

There are so many parallels between the Myth of Sisyphus and The Hounds of Sisyphus that it's definitely worth a second read. If you know the myth you'll be able to see all the references to it in the manhwa, like in the beginning when people just stop dying out of nowhere. Then in Chapter 1 we see Guwon's hand as he climbs up from underground, and when we see him taking Jinwoo on a very long hike only to stare at a boulder sitting on top of a mountain in the distance - he says "I just like to come back and make sure it's still there".

The parallels are all really interesting - the only thing I can't quite figure out just yet is the character's memory lapse. I'm sure we'll find out more as we go on! I've got more, but I've already written so much - if you've made it this far thank you for reading!! ヾ(☆▽☆)

So I'm a literary nerd and a writer, and I've written a few posts on what I think is happening in this manhwa (you can read one here if you'd like https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/18942324/), but for the sake of brevity I'll just say that I think Guwon is actually the mythical Sisyphus himself, risen from the underworld after somehow getting that massive enchanted boulder up the enormous hill. I'm sure you've heard of the legend at least - the guy that was cursed to push a boulder up a hill for all eternity? That guy is Guwon - and he's trying to build a life after completing the worst punishment imaginable. He finally got the boulder up the hill somehow, and he checks on it routinely to make sure it's not going anywhere.

The final lines in The Myth of Sisyphus (by Albert Camus) are: "I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one’s burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

I think that's exactly what the author is doing in this manhwa - imagining Sisyphus as HAPPY! His memory has been wiped, and there are no longer battles to be waged. He's building his life anew and learning everything again - what people are all about and why they do the weird things they do. Like kissing - why do people put their mouths on each other's? To someone who doesn't know any better it would seem pretty gross - almost enough to make someone barf up their dinner! But after learning WHY they do it, the feeling is actually pleasant - something the'd like to do more and more.

A good question would be - "why tell this story in a yaoi webtoon?", and I think the answer is simple: Why the hell not? Let Sisyphus...I mean Guwon...be HAPPY!

Sisyphus is a figure in Greek mythology known for his trickery and eternal punishment in the underworld. He was the founder and king of Ephyra or Corinth, and is credited with establishing the Isthmian Games held every two years to honor Poseidon. Sisyphus's most famous story involves his punishment for cheating death. He tricked Thanatos, the god of death, into entering his home, then chained him up. - According to Google


Soooo Guwon might be a god or non human that's immune to the undead syndrome hence the "cheating death" and seeing how Sisyphus was a king that lowkey matches up to Guwon being the leader of the town. ^^

Just finished the novel and uuughh it's so good, Chase being a baby girl, Josh being the man he isssss.

FUCK GRAYSON I HOPE A DOG BITE HIS PENIS OFF, I HOPE DANE CUT HIS PENIS WITH HIS AXE, poor Chase suffering cause of his fcking brother

I FOUND THE NOVEL

it seems like "yura hyung" has got a case of both DID and Dissociative Amnesia. and i've got a few passing thoughts to note to myself and whoever's interested.

DID involves a lack of connection among a person’s sense of identity, memory and consciousness. so a diagnosed person possesses less of a personality, it's devided and developed into either docile or extreme extents of the person's united consciousness as a coping mechanism to traumatic situations. the way these feelings and ways of thought are presented by each alter differs to the nature of the feeling itself and where it stems from and is not to be confused with a foreign personality.

in this case, both aspects of "yura hyung" are real. and i believe one represents the desire and impulsive behaviour he has forced himself to downplay/overlook/suppress throughout his life, whereas the other stands for his conservative nature, the image he felt the need to maintain by concealing any feeling he deemed unbefitting. and both of them identify as "yura hyung", making the concept easier to grasp.

due to the intense emotional pressure, yura's feelings were utterly devided. the desire (night hyung) carries the memories of affection and attraction, the raw emotion towards the MC. the suppression (day hyung) remembers merely the distanced version of those interactions and possibly every other interaction which was infested with unbefitting emotions. the disappearance of an alter may equal the acceptance of an emotion/situation.

rereading parts of the story again and, while i always gush about the poignant dialogues and story overall, i’m reminded once again how beautifully complex the characters are, jinsol especially. while we were still reading the story through saegye’s eyes alone, jinsol’s dialogues, views, and philosophy are complex and so poetically articulated that—despite the obvious warning signs from his words themselves—you can’t help but be drawn towards him. idk man i just really love jinsol a lot
