Welp, chapter 40 dropped, and they really did change it from the novel. That sucks. They added some stuff with Heeseong that I appreciate, but towards the end of the chapter, he decides to help Chiyoung get better by having sex with him, and that leads to what we see at the end of chapter 39, I guess. Took a cute, wholesome moment and ruined it just to add unnecessary smut. Lame.
The ML is so traumatized from the MC leaving him that he freaks out whenever he can’t get ahold of him. Lol The beginning of the newest chapter, he’s freaking out because the MC doesn’t answer his call, so he rushes home from work just to find the MC and baby asleep in bed. lol Poor guy.
The manhwa is really failing to capture the complexities of the novel, especially the loneliness and despair that Chi-young feels when he arrives at his sister’s birthday party and realizes that he doesn’t have a pack anymore. It’s devastating to read. And, idk what’s going on at the very end of chapter 39. That’s not in the novel. I hope it’s a nightmare because why would they replace such a cute and wholesome scene with that?
The author was really hyping this lame ass hug/chapter up. Lol Asking people not to post spoilers and shit.
Seo-an’s daddy looked better than him, tbh. We don’t see that as often as we should.
I can’t believe you dumbasses really think the MC is going to betray the ML for money. It’s like you idiots haven’t been paying attention at all.
Honestly, the zingchang translations for season 2 and the side stories aren’t that bad. They put a little effort into them.
The MC’s hair is short on the new cover. Season two is going to be so dark. Heeryang is still one of my favorite MLs. Hope the author doesn’t push his character too far. The end of season one was already a lot.
I haven’t started season one yet, but I just have to say that I hope they lighten the vibe in the manhwa because he’s basically in an abusive relationship in the novel. I feel so bad for the MC. He may be a bonehead, but he doesn’t deserve the treatment he’s getting from the ML.
For those who care, MRM has a better translation…at least for the first chapter. I haven’t read the others.
She’s sitting there spilling her heart to the devil himself.
I can’t wait until he finds out what JK did when he was blindfolded with those noise canceling headphones on. :)
I scanned the raws, and the mind break here is next level. I can’t help but appreciate it, tbh. In most manhwa, you would see the mc getting over a gang rape by the next chapter. Not sure what happened to the childhood friend, though. Maybe I was scrolling too fast, but he disappeared after he found the mc and his brother with those guys towards the end.
Edit: Wait, I looked again. I think the childhood friend died in that warehouse fire. :( And I think the crazy ml sent the younger brother overseas? I also missed the fact that the ml kept the mc confined to that hospital for several months in a room without a window, so he couldn’t even keep track of time. That’s what broke his mind further.
Edit 2: Okay, looked once more, and the childhood friend is alive? He’s shown a video of the friend (with a ponytail now?) in a hospital watching over a body he thinks is the mc? I think he believes that the warehouse fire put the mc in a coma, and he sits by that bedside waiting for him to wake up? Idk how he could mistake the person in the hospital bed for the mc, though. Oh, and the brother is in school overseas getting everything paid for by the crazy ml, and he thinks that the mc died in the fire and blames himself. The mc tries to leave the ml when he finds this out, but he’s developed such severe anxiety by this point that when he leaves the ml’s home, he pretty much has a breakdown. He can’t handle being around crowds of people and pretty much views the ml’s place as his safe space, so he runs back to the ml where he’s taken to the bedroom, and we see that his mind has been completely broken.
I recently read another manga that had some insane workplace drama where the MC and ML were made to feel bad over a female character’s crush. Someone was explaining in the replies how it was cultural, but fuck that. Have some dignity, my god.
I feel like Japanese BL authors handle rape way worse than Korean authors. Japanese authors seem to view rape/rapists in a more humorous way for some reason. It’s very weird. Why is that guy in the doctor’s office? Like? Why is he talking about naming the baby?
The raws are on Ba.to. Can someone retranslate this, pls?
