I know this isnt step brothers story but considering how much this story focus on abuse Minjae went through and his revenge, i would like to see more of stepbrothers, especially Jungwoo. Like in more details. His feelings, perspective etc etc. I think Jungwoo is a great and very interesting character so i think its a shame. I need more of him and characters like him.
Her reaction to her brother is so realistic that its painfull. I feel for her brother :'////.
Ok so i didnt read the whole novel but to read some point and i learnt that ml rejected mc back then because he was 16 and ml was 20. So rightfully, he thought it was the right thing to do. Because you know "the power imbalance".
And now, mc is 20, an adult so its okay....but heres the problem;
Yes mc is adult. 20 years old brain is different than 16 years old brain. Meanwhile 20 years brain is similar to 24 years old brain.
But the thing is; during those 4 years, mc was still isolated and never had friends. He still is similar to who he was when he was 16 but this isnt the problem. The problem is;
Ml is very kind realable, nice guy but maybe because of his trauma or beliefs,he plays a lot of mind games. Yes maybe thats his personality, i get it but you can see there is still "power imbalance" in their relationship. Mc is like open book while ml plays with him pretty much.
Oh yes maybe he wanted to play safe. Maybe he wanted him to talk with him and be honest first but this doesnt change the fact that he was manipulative and played mind games to get upper hand, and control in relationship. Which it worked.
My problem with this; this is basically the main reason why he rejected him 4 years ago because they arent equal as teacher and student. And years later, instead of trying to be honest anf open so that he could have equal relationship with mc; ml played with him.
I know he loves him. I know he is good guy. But this was really frustrating and i really wanted to share. Personally this is why i loved omega complex and their relationship more than those two, even though this alpha trauma's mc is a character i really adore. I also like ml, he is the type of character i like with mls but in this story, the way things worked was frustrating. And i wish this was properly adressed as issue in their relationship. I didnt finish the novel so i dont know. But well..this is my opinion. Thanks for people who read this. *sigh* thats all.
So penaltı is turning into a woman? Lmao, awesome.
Spoiler warning for ending; For the ones, who want to know how it ends.
++ Big brother's decision to make things right: Truth is revealed.
- Police dont know taeyoung and minjaes attempted to murder president, thanks to big brother Jungwoo who decides to open up because of taeyoungs words. He reveals his trauma to his second brother by himself and he decides that minjae has a right to speak up about his trauma to the world so he sent 'the pad" to him.
++ Second brother's way of redemption: For the future.
- Hyuk felt guilty for how he treated Minjae and how he failed to protect his big bro. He also wants to kill president but stopped by big brother who doesnt want him to be murderer. At the end, second brother became the president and actually use his authority for good, for the orphan kids. Also he felt guilty for how he treated Minjae.
++ President's ending: Punishment.
-In the end president was left with no medical help, and slow and painful death by stepbrothers. So he was punished in a way.
++ Mc and Ml ending: Live happiely ever after.
- Minjae and taeyoung live happy life together. Minjae even get job. He looks really healed and peacefull at the end.
++ Potential bonus chapters: We might get.
-If we get bonus chapters, it will probably be about side couple (step brothers) but it seems main story is finished.
Its weird story but if author try, it can be pretty interesting. Like uke doesnt want to date and sex but he wants to stalk. Why? He only sleeps with him to not be lonely and see's acceoting his offer is weird too. This series can be nothing but just cliche sex focused story or, maybe hopefully, characters turn out to be interesting. No high hopes but well, we will see.
Does anyone have the raw links?? Pls, i cant waitttttt.
Those two dumb bastards are racing who will sacrifice themselves first for the others and act like noone will care for them when they are center of everything and everyone. They are the kind of characters you wanna hug and slap at the same amount.
I read to the end. Even though they didnt officialy said that they are couple, they clearly are couple at the end.
Having someone like Yeonwoo in your life is so precious, that someone who will cry for you whrn you cant do it yourself. At least they are with him and move on and heal all together :')))).
Spoiler Warning;
- Hyuk gave pad to Minjae for him to do whatever he wants. They dont mind he send videos to reporters or the issues with company. Things ended in a way Jungwoo wanted. The way i think everyone wanted. They get conclusion conversation about their feelings. Step brothers went their own way in life.
- Jungwoo put president in the "study room" were he abused him and Minjae. He cut all his meducal supports and decides to leeave him in pain and slow death.
- One year later, minjae and taeyoung are living happiely. Minjae is unemployed half hikikomori since eight month.
-End of the chapter. I kinda wanted a moment between Jungwoo and Minjae too. Well. Thats all.
R*pist father shouldve never allowed to take children. And mother clearly isnt well too. It wouldve been better in orphanage...than this.
The fact that entire is story is about constant trauma of almost every character in every chapter. It could be called "Yeonwoo's Trauma".
Spoiler warning;
Jungwoo tells everything to Hyuk.
Jungwoo; "Sorry. Its a disgusting story to hear".
Hyuk; No i am disgusted by myself.
Hyuk realizes everything he has been done was meaningless because he failed to protect his hyung from the president. He wants to kill president but Jungwoo tells him not to. If he does, everything he had endure become meaningless.
Then Jungwoo recalls Taeyoungs word so he request Hyuk to give tablet to Minjae. And we see Hyuk and Minjae meeting. Minjae doesnt seem to hold any grudge anymore. Hyuk gives tablet to him because Jungwoo told him that he wants Minjae to use tablet, how he see it fits. Minjae is very doubtful with their intention. Though he doesnt have to worry now, i think.
-
End of the chapter.
Story will be over soon, it seems. We will see how it will goes.
I dont care even if it he did for Dr Seoks same, he deserves to get punch.
I always felt for Sejin. Its nice to see him finally get recognition.
Spoiler Warning;
- Nothing much happenned. Taeyoung and Minjae have sex.
- Meanwhile, Junghyuk is depressed and is sitting alone. He has flashbacks;
Junghyuk; Now tell me for real. What is the secret you are keeping only from me?
Jungwoo; I dont have much time so i will keep it brief. I am not as noble as you think. I've been dirty and broken for a very long time.
-
End of the chapter.
-
Jungwoo's words is heartbeaking. Sorry not sorry but this part of story is far more interesting than anything. Jungwoo probably decided to kill president himself but well, we will see about the details of how he explained the truth about abuse to Hyuk. Hopefully, with more flashbacks.
YESSSS FİNALLY YESSS, SEJİN TOLLD HİM EVERYTHİNG HE NEEDS TO HEAR YESS GO MY BOYYYY!!!!!
