I know it sounds so obvious at first, but isn't it insane how everything that happens here is for or because of Yeongwoon? Like, duh- He is the main character, shouldn't he be the one moving the plot? Yeah? It's still amazing to me that because he is objectively such a good person, Yeongwoon causes so much disruption around him since everyone is so shitty that they don't know how to deal with that fact lmfao
LMAO, its sad that Yeongwoon's goodness is Seo-In's salvation but Yeongwoon's own curse
Woah you wrote that so well I legit gasped
LOLL tyty im blushing
Thank you for summarizing my comment so well, literally couldn't have said it better lmao
'Hikaru' is a pro when it comes to traumatizing people lmfao I cannot believe it
While this isn't nearlyyyy as bad as the manga I'm mentally comparing it to, it still irks me when a story unfolds similarly to this one even if it's just a little bit cause... Wtf haha Why does anyone have to “understand” your partner's sudden need to take care of someone else? Why does anyone have to be okay with your partner neglecting them for some random guy they just met? No dude, when Rou made Yoshino sound crazy for saying he should tell the other guy he has a BOYFRIEND I was like: Huh?! “He hates me, don't worry” You don't know that lmao?!! And if he did, why are you still there?! Rou even said that if he weren't single, he would have gone after Hibiya. Omfg, I have my brother Yoshino in the trenches, but there was never a time when his feelings were taken seriously. Bye.
I've never had a problem reading these types of relationships, as long as they are self-aware and address them throughout the story in a way that is believable for the characters. While Seo-in is not my favorite protagonist, I appreciate that the story takes its time to understand and dissect why he is the way he is, and I enjoy reading about how he thinks, speaks, and acts based on these fundamental aspects. I really like that his story arc consists of becoming the person who basically destroyed his life so that he can live with what he has left, and how that fact causes him shame to such an extent that it troubles him to see that Yeongwoon is still a good person. That fact not only distorts his perception of their relationship, both in the past and in the present, but also causes him to rethink the reason why he is the way he is. It's not a 3 chapters speed run where the character suddenly feels “regret”. No, it is the conclusion of everything we have seen up to this point that makes this conclusion so very, very satisfying.

well said
Thisssss!!! Thank you!!!
Yungeon, put the D in dignity man cause what is this?!?!? reached ungodly levels of trashiness
Every time I see a character rip a condom with their teeth, I start believing their favorite color is 4
I had a seizure reading this
We lost a good one
At what point does someone stop being sympathetic to another person's doubts? Because that was horrible lmao I get it. I love Mr. Jim as much as the next person, but WOW, those words are the kind of shit that explains the origin of a villain.
I honestly don't know how they're supposed to come back from that. I'm really confused about what the author was trying to do here.
Right? Like- I understand his reasoning and how troubled he was, but... If he genuinely thought being horrible to Yeoreum was the only possible way to end the relationship, how good they to each other to begin with? I know they get back together, I'm just really curious how they did it.
I am beyond curious to know why a person who couldn't stand watching injustices and was not afraid of being vocal about it despite the consequences... Now, he would rather stay silent and even question if he has the right to anything. You can say that he is being professional or that he still doesn't know what to think about Haeyool, but after all the hints of his past and how his mental health was destroyed over the years... Yeah, I'm really curious about what happened to him.
I think that’s a really realistic way of showing what time does to people tbh. I feel for his Character deeply because I was the same in my teenage years, always getting into trouble trying to fight bullies, injustice behaviour generally and even with the police. But humans often use people like this and with time you simply stop acting on these feelings. My empathy definitely sank over the years too. I would get into a situation when a woman or a child is in danger but otherwise I go my way. I’m too old for this shit and don’t have the nerves anymore to be a good person like that. Not saying that’s this is the right way or a good way to be but it be like that sometimes..
You still sound great, I'm not going to lie haha I get what you're saying. Maybe not to that extent, but I also relate to the matter in the sense of questioning whether kindness and courage have any value in an environment where it's better to keep your mouth shut. Sometimes people around you and the time you spend with them make you lose not only your sense of self, but also hope and empathy for others. It's tiring, genuinely exhausting.... That's why I like Yeongwoon's character so much, because despite him being a victim at the hands of a person who was supposed to take care of him and being used by others who just wanted to hurt him because of who he was... Overall, he's still a good person. That's why I think his character is the best, in any context, because despite the pain he has lived through and continues to live through he is still very luminous individual. It's a great ideology.
That’s sweet thank you. He’s definitely one of my favourite characters rn too! It takes a lotttt of strength to still be kind and empathetic after being through so much like him. Even tho it’s probably not the best for him personally and he could live comfortably tossing his pure heart aside. He’s a good person, through and through. We don’t get that too often in BL imo so that’s really nice ^-^
Woah haha every chapter felt like rage bait and the worst part is that I kept falling for it
