Yoon: ya so I’m definitely going to keep raping you
Nk: yeets outta there
Yoon: *surprised pikachu face*
Hahahahah, it fits perfectly xD
*I See You're A Person Of Culture As Well *
Tho I don't blame him that much for being surprised, considering the times and the way society worked at that time.
Nakyum is too soft, ‘no I’m not disappointed’, his face, he deserves better ( °; Д;° )

Pretty much the first thing yoon did when he met nakyum was grab nakyums hand a put it on his dick and y’all surprised he’s crazy? Yoon is consistent, he is an accurate representation of his time period/social standing and I respect the author for developing him fully as a real person. She made him do things that readers won’t be able to come to terms with, something most authors would hold back on because they care more about their character being likable than realistic. She didn’t make the second rape porn, but instead portrayed it in a way that even without understanding what’s being said you can feel the emotional impact of the scene. Enjoying yoon as a dynamic character isn’t the same as seeing him as a morally good character who’s done nothing wrong. He has a lot of depth, and the dynamic she developed between nakyum and yoon is really interesting.
Yoons entire life has revolved around his social status, rank has determined everything. He’s never been rejected or even told no in his life, because he’s always been surrounded by people hoping to gain his favor. All these people were lesser nobles too, way higher in rank than nakyum. Yoon even said himself that he’d never embrace someone on nakyums level, and wouldn’t have even considered being rejected by him possible. The idea that nakyum could prefer inhun to him would also be an insult he couldn’t understand, anyone else wouldn’t even look at inhun because his status is so low. But nakyum insults yoon like no one else would dare and only treats inhun with sincerity. Even though the expression wasn’t for him, when yoon slept with drunk nakyum it was the first time sleeping with someone who was in love and not just trying to use him. Doesn’t make it right, but he’s obsessed and confused. Even yoon gets that he messed up, or at least it seems like it from him brooding in the bathtub and then going back to nakyum. But the boy is clueless and handles that wrong too. He keeps reaching out to nakyum in the ways he knows how and failing because his world view is wrong, and I’m interested in seeing what he’ll have to go through to grow as a character.
The old servant is also a surprisingly well written character, and proof that the author knows how to make characters change and grow. In the beginning he views nakyum similarly to the rest of the servants, with a decent amount of disdain. Why wouldn’t they dislike him? He’s as low born as them, meaning he should be struggling in the same way they are. While they are working hard he’s living however he wants and all he has to do for that life is paint, yet he’s not grateful for it. They don’t see his reasoning, or anything else that goes into it, just him rejecting a life they all wish they could have. The old servant is the first to see the reality of his situation and understand that nakyum doesn’t have it as good as it seems. Sympathy and compassion allowed him to change his views towards nakyum in a really realistic way.
This author is really talented and even if you don’t like what she’s doing with the plot of story how well she is handling the craft of it so far should be acknowledged. This ended up long sorry, if you’re still reading thanks for making it this far lol
Oh sister preach it preach
THANKS GOD one person who is reading the right way lol~~
"The idea that nakyum could prefer inhun to him would also be an insult he couldn’t understand, anyone else wouldn’t even look at inhun because his status is so low. But nakyum insults yoon like no one else would dare and only treats inhun with sincerity."
~Yep! It happened as soon as he discovered the poem, so Nakyum retorted him saying that someone like him couldn't understand... that was the spoint that made Seungho start to question and take interest of Nakyum, later that night he thinks about Nakyum said while he was with that uke, so he takes that as a challenge and goes after the teacher and everything else...
"But the boy is clueless and handles that wrong too. He keeps reaching out to nakyum in the ways he knows how and failing because his world view is wrong, and I’m interested in seeing what he’ll have to go through to grow as a character."
ALSO yep! That there he goes to get the sword again, just like the first chapter, which is what he did to take Nakyum home... I'm not saying that what he does is right, I just see that this is how he knows how to get things. As I always comment, I am very interested in seeing Seungho's evolution too, the old serving said something happened that made him unstable and unpredictable, I have a lot of expectations about what happened and what can happen to him going forward...
Thanks for your text, I loved it :)
I think he had to come attached with the work to enlighten people who ... romanticize / are disappointed with Seungho / keep comparing with KS XD
Yassss a+ analysis
I love your character analysis so far but there is more to expand on...yoon has intelligence and wit -he knew that sihwa had a spy in his household; he led inhun to believe rumors until the hunting trip where he put him in his place...sometimes I wonder is he crazy or is he crazy like a fox? His greeting of nakym in the beginning was adorable and over the top fanboyish not crazy imho and I wonder if there was another reason he killed the servant who led him to nakym in the first place for example, bc nothing else he's done since then was that random. Nevertheless I agree he has no idea how to woo someone unimpressed by his nobility, money, power or dick talent.
Now that old servant is the one to watch...he knows the most about yoon and he can read his moods and predict his action to a degree. His advice is definitely worth listening to...
I wonder if sihwa and inhun will be able to collaborate against Yoon and what that would look like.
I wonder if nakym would go so far as to willingly have sex with yoon to keep inhun safe and if that would help yoon worm his way into his heart
Can I get a love button!!!
Big like
I think he has that kind of intelligence, of manipulating things and people and getting what he wants without having to be a hypocrite, that I think is fucking cool about him...
That's exactly what he can't do, is act or fake some emotion to get what he wants... That's why he can't handle Nakyum... If it was Inhun, for example, I bet he could seduce the boy from other ways, manipulating feelings and this kind of things. He even made a move and approached Nankyum in chapter 24, he hugged him and even kissed his hands... We know that the hunter can not stand him and sees him as inferior..
Btw dick talent was awsome xD
Ah yes, Yoon is unapologetically Yoon, that is what makes him so daddy and can we give nakym props for having the balls to reject him and check him on several occasions despite seeing him kill a man and threatening him with the straw mat beatdown...and thanks!
Woah thanks for the support!!
@ankhyy sometimes I worry I’m a bit too into it lol but then other people add on to what I noticed with little details they noticed and it’s great to see how much is actually buried in this work and to know that there are other people who love it as much as I do. I didn’t even notice the moment yoon shifted the way he saw nakyum, you totally pinpointed it! Thanks so much ^^
@afroluv yes!! That is huge, one of the biggest things I love about yoon is that he is incredibly intelligent (except maybe emotionally lol) It makes him fun to watch as a character because you never know what he’ll do and he never holds back. But aside from attacking nakyum everything he does is calculated, so I’d also like to know more about the servant in the beginning and hope there’s more behind that. Lol also dying at dick talent xD
You're amongst the rare here (that I read) who questions the responsability of Nakyum in this case, and I thank you for that.
Of course, what did the Lord is horrible and it's just like Seungho, but Nakyum also has his part of fault, though because the painter is raped here, no one really dares or even think of his part of wrong too.
I already mentioned how naive he is, and yes, clueless, and that can only contribute to such dramatic situation. I'm not surprised at all from the both parties, instead I feel sad and annoyed.
Hmm, I'm pretty sure no one here victim blamed nakym...I applauded him for not being cowed by Yoon on several occasions. He stole some good liquor and got wasted over his unrequited love. I'll bet getting taken advantage of sexually by Yoon was the furthest thought in his mind-even after Yoon jerked him off. He likely expected a beating or to be thrown out if he were ever found out, Yoon assured him he wasn't looking at him as a potential partner bc he was a lowborn so he felt a measure of safety that sh!t wouldn't happen.
Consider this...Nakym is pretty. He grew up in a brothel/kiseang house and he likes to drink & can't hold the alcohol yet no one has seduced him, touched the front or back. He survived as a virgin so long bc he loved inyun and apparently no one tried to seduce him in his drunken state until Yoon. Nakym is not even partially responsible for losing his ass virginity to Yoon.
Don't make me say something I never told.
Btw my comment was adressed to the author of this post and is a response to their analysis.
No one here victim blaming Nakyum.
What I mean is Seungho and Nakyum don't understand each other because of their respective personality, and talking about Nakyum, because this latter is naive (his blind adoration for the Sir, for exemple...) and clueless, leading them to this dramatic situation.
Loved your point of view :)
That is okay, the original poster can respond as well, we all have opinions and can share on this thread. You may not have intended it but your comment comes off as victim blaming as if Nakym was partially at fault for losing his virginity to Yoon or is at fault for Yoon falling for him just bc nakym is naive. Nakym did not ask to be dragged to Yoon's home--he even lied aboutthe paintings he did under a pseudonym. He said he promised not to paint erotica anymore but was threatened into doing it anyway. Why does he have to try to understand Yoon? What fault does he share in?
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this!! Pleasure to read!
You said it the best way possible!!
Ya, it’s sad because nakyum isn’t responsible for anything that happened to him, but he is responsible for his naivety. I think that’s where he needs to change, because it leaves him blind and vulnerable to others. He believes everything inhun projects, even though inhun is actually fake and conniving without hiding either very well. If nakyum doesn’t become a better judge of character he’ll be in pain no matter what, and I want so much better for him. I love him as a character because he’s really strong overall, he isn’t afraid to assert what he wants and isn’t swayed by power. His big flaw is being too pure and it’s sad that’s what he’ll have to change. I don’t think his lack of awareness plays into the situation with yoon, he couldn’t help their proximity and does actually try to keep his distance. He could have a better understanding of why his words would set yoon off, but it’s not his fault how yoon reacts. Still, developing an understanding of human nature could really help him moving forward. Sorry if I misinterpreted anything you were saying.
We expect this turning point to happen when he (Nakyum) finds out that his teacher, which basically where he built his morality, is a fraud. Perhaps he realizes that the world and people have more layers than one might think at first glance. I hope the author works this well :)
I don't think anyone here blamed Nakyum, we're just doing some character analysis, not judging that A and B is wrong or right.
Love this discussion informative and respectful! Thanks y'all! Looking forward to the next chapters
I agree, there are a few users here that I always search for in the comment. I know they will leave an informative, insightful comment or analysis. There are some hilarious ones too. Only 6 days left till next chapter!
Yes!! Grateful for you guys, conversations like this are so rare here
I agree that nakyum did everything he could to avoid the situation, he tried so hard. :c While yoons flawed world-view primarily hurts others, nakyums primarily hurts himself. He’s in a situation where he has no power, and the only way he can get a little leverage is to understand yoon and others. He shouldn’t have to but might be the best he can currently do for himself. No matter what though he doesn’t share fault in what happens to him.

Oops, Sorry for double post
Yes!
Again, this is not what I meant, that's why my reply was adressed to the poster (and not anybody else who might misanderstand what I say).
You didn't misinterprete it. Nakyum is indeed clueless and that'll play against him whether it's with Yoon, In Hun or others, he needs to see over the appearences people can keep as face. He's too attached to that teacher that we all know is faking talent and wisdom.
I don't know if he needs to let go of his purity for that, but he needs to grow for his own good and perceive people for what they are.
He also have to get proper (scholarship) education to avoid being duped by someone like In Hun.

In the newest chapter when nakyum paints yoon jerking him off I think yoon probably asked nakyum to make him a painting of their time together, and that’s what nakyum assumes he’s referring to, but he can’t help but recall a little bit more than he could before of yoons face when they did it, so I think on a subconscious level he knows what happened. I don’t think yoon was mad, I think he’s part turned on, part trying to push nakyum to remember because he wants to be acknowledged as the person who had nakyums first and probably wants to do it again.
Also seems like the teacher knows something is going on in the dynamic between yoon and nakyum, but idk how much. At least enough to know that he can use nakyum to get what he wants. Nakyum already told him that he was staying with yoon to help inhun, but that made inhun mad before. I think whatever happened between him and yoon during the hunting trip solidified the idea that he needed nakyum to get use of yoons influence cause he’s totally changed. He also knows that nakyum has feelings for him so I’m sad to watch how he’ll push him around, but the drama is going to be good
I think so too.. for everything. The only thing I am not sure about is the last panel - is it a memory, a dream or something else? I don't want it to be real, not like that..
I agree! Looking forward to getting more context on those last panels next week
Does anyone know when it’s coming back?
It's coming back, when it's coming back.
How come garbage like this gets uploaded but so many amazing comics are being dropped (●￣(ｴ)￣●) good art isn’t enough to make up for everything, and it’s worse in this case that the artist has talent and made a deliberate choice to draw people that way smh
