The author obviously cooking something. When Sooae and Dohwa met again, it's like he ignored and really forgotten her and erased her in his memory for him not to fully visualize her. But then the next chapter, boom we got his POV. As for Eunhyeok, we had this cafe scene that's almost same case as Dohwa's, Eunhyeok just glanced and ignored her. Then, poof gone and now unexpectedly met each other with him as music director, K. No Eunhyeok POV presented at all.
There are things I'm keeping note.
Dohwa never did explain his side how he did not recognized her. He just approached her naturally because of what she did for him when he was drank. Then it's like a simple reunion. Sooae, didn't question anything because in the first it was her who had a motive. When Dohwa knew that their meeting wasn't a coincidence he obviously turned sour. Don't forget there's this Sooae's promise that we have yet to know. Also, pls, note that he just distanced himself from her because he knew she will not choose him. He is her friend but suddenly gone in her life for 8/or 10 yrs.
Eunhyeok never did explain his side for ignoring her too. He approached her like nothing happened between them. He too was gone in her like for 8/or10 yrs. The thing here is what we all know, he is at fault. She didn't approach him. When she said to keep his boundaries, he's been doing it so far. His difference from Dohwa is that he(EH) is her BF.
I think that there's something grave reason for Eunhyeok or there's this misunderstanding caused by outside parties like Haru or Raim? But I'm more inclined to Haru. What if this guy's trying to make a real life story from the "The Black Rose of Versailles" so to aide Sooae in her novel. Jellypop may still play a role like how Haru can msg her, and maybe Eunhyeok too. Like he manipulated them.
Also something's obviously wrong with Eunhyeok. He's a music director when in fact he has a trauma? The way he sometimes reacted like he can't control his old habits.
Honestly, I can't totally label him a red flag not until I know his POV. I also need to know Suae's promise to Dohwa.
If the author will be consistent, Dohwa already said it that Eunhyeok got the opportunity first. Now, they reunited, he was the first to get the chance. So, we'll see where will this go in the future. Too bad we'll be in the long hiatus. Anyway, I hope author recover properly.
The fact that Pureum admitted her awkwardness acting familiar with a guy who has a girlfriend. So she just keep on her lane. Not everyone does this! She knows her boundaries on this part. It maybe is a misunderstanding on her part but still for me it's the right attitude to not be all chummy with a person who is in a relationship. I believe it's a form of respect to the other party to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.
Obviously, Dohwa is yet to move on. He was in good mood during his text convo with Suae. He was evidently giggling. The moment Suae told him that she has a motive, that's when his reaction changed. I wonder what is the promise she made with him.
Idk for the others, but I'm just glad that Suae was honest with him. It will hurt Dohwa more if she prolonged this case (knowing her she will feel more guilty in the process of the more she spent time with him and definitely she will still end up confessing her concerns which will hurt more for the both of them).
Now, it's up to Dohwa, how he will take this. Which he, obviously, accepted with a given condition.
As for Eunhyeok, I can't label him as red flag yet. Cos his POV is yet to come out. My concern is that, why is he a well known music director when in fact we all know how much he was not comfortable in this field. He only played with Suae and that child(forgot his name) was around. We all know how much he detests to be like his father. His first reaction when he glanced at Suae vs his current reaction meeting her in their office were different.
I can feel that the author is down for letting these three hurt first.
That's our girl. It's not about memory loss anymore but more like his personality or the kind of person he is now doesn't making any sense at all. He's basically being petty. Imagine you guys are in rush as your boss pointed out.. that's why you needed to take an overtime yet you see them not doing their part and from your pov they seem to enjoy your suffering.
Pls. We need to separate personal life from work. If there are things that your employee can't share, I think we should know that's the boundaries they already set for their own selves.
I've said it before and will say it again. The reasons she works hard is for her family. If her job would affect her relationship with her family, then I believe she should leave already. It will be hard but in the first place she's in this reputable company because of her skills so it shouldn't be hard enough to land to a job with a better work conditions.
As a reader, yes, I know the guy is jealous.
But if I was in her shoes, I would have resigned already. An immediate resignation, if possible.
One, it feels my work here is unsatisfying, what can I contribute more. I f***ed up my supposed to be "simple tasks". The co-workers seems don't need me. They seem to be more capable than me given with how they treated me.
Two, it seems my superior will never be satisfied with my work. I tried to get his insights on what's there to be fixed. Others may get him, but it seems my knowledge and ability is very poor that I don't get whatever he's trying to say. I find him being vague ╮(￣▽￣)╭ So, I guess we will never work out as employer and subordinate.
Three, it affects my family time. I work for my family. If this will ruin my relationship with them, I believe it's not worth it.
It's hard to look for a job but with her portfolio, I guess she can still land on a proper job.
Good thing, I'm not her and this one's a fiction. Cos surely there'll be no happy ending for me and that guy if we have same mentality. lol.
Plsss! Dohwa and Suae have been good friends. The way they were before is way more than the way they are now. She's not leading him on. In the first place, she's not aware of his feelings. She still sees him as her friend.
Maybe some of you thought she's stepping out of line, but for me, it's because you guys know Dohwa's feelings. But please remember he, as a friend, did more than what Suae's currently doing. They used to hang out/spend more time alot.
While I feel bad for Dohwa, it's not Suae's fault if he fell for her. Dohwa just tried his best to set boundaries. Suae didn't even say any sweet things to him. She being this nosy is because she cares for him as her close friend seems to astray and don't forget it's the company who is a threat to Suae's life. To point out, even Eunhyeok was put into danger too because of his association with her. For her, she's responsible for Dohwa too.
All I wanted is for them to be happy. Atp, no one deserves hate.
for someone who's still undergoing therapy for his mental illness, him having future plans is huge step for him ╥﹏╥ it's not easy!! there are times that depression will keep on kicking in.. it's hard to fight with your mind, I swear. At least, this time, he got the proper support. Except for the omegaverse part, the touch on a person with mental problem is almost near to realistic.
For how many times, I've read this from the original novel in Ridi (take note I can't read Hangul.. just Google/Papago translated it) to the releases in manhwa to the official R15 ver of Manta to Lezh|n's R19 and yes here I am rereading this again and again. That's how good this series is. The adaptation's really good. Definitely one of my fave BL.
If ever you kept in contact with another girl and didn't keep in touch with Jeongmin for 4years, I'm sorry Siyun but I can't defend you if someone throw stones at you.
At some point I get the other guy. Anyone who heard that, would definitely think the same. He would have judged and thought that what Jeongmin said is already the whole story. Of course, there are some parts taken out so yes definitely someone would misunderstood that.
No matter how much you mask it as doing for the other person. While the other party isn't aware of whatever's you're up to? Then definitely, you're cheating. They maybe co-actors and can do that on-cam, but with that act off-cam and kissing? Hahaha only in-denials would say it's not. That's it for me, bye.
wait can I applaud the artist/author of this. I like how light this manhua but more than that, they way this illustrated. Say the artistic way of say creating a GC then you have panel dragging people in there. When in fact you can just show, a couple of panels having Yiyun creating a GC then their phones w/ a "ding" sound. I've noticed this way before they're simple but the execution/humor of doing certain things is always there.
If you all know, this will have an anime adaptation. Maybe the anime team will give this a proper ending. icymi Fujiwara-sensei passed away with vol 3 as it's last chapter they were able to release.
Idk. I know she's being nice but something happened between you in the past. A simple "Hi"s and "Hello"s would do. And okay seems like she's having a hard time in her relationship but why should she keep on clinging on Chika? It may not mean anything much but hello you've got history with him. You're that shaken to even not be able to go home and just rely on the younger guy? He maybe the only person you know, but I sometimes wonder why of all circumstances had she pass the excess foods she prepared to him? Don't they have landlords? Other people she knows? Did I miss anything?
the devil and angel tho.. haha slamdunk reference.
Just discovered this and finished in just a day. As an avid (novel and manhwa) reader, here I am wondering where was I when this was an ongoing series??!!!! Why I hadn't heard about this. This is easily gets in my top BL manhwa. I can easily relate especially with Sangwoo as a dev and some of his character traits. His thought process was very relatable like hey the author seems to read my mind. And the best thing is he got a perfect match in the name of Jang Jaeyoung.
Hoping the author would give us side stories of how they are in the future.
Sooha's mom exists in real world. There are those who what we call self-righteous. Regardless of the results, for them, all they do is what they thought is/are the best options for the others. It's actually hard to argue with them. It's not about the lack of open mindedness anymore but what instilled in them is that this is for the benefits of the majority.
Ok at some point I kinda get Seno's thinking.. if I'm correct, he's not going to separate them but basically just do what he wants to do.. Just helping Yuuki-- being there for her when he can.
This got me thinking what if these kids are their past selves. But then it doesn't makes sense cos who will be their parents then..
But the way Hyeol acts to his father(like an Oedipus complex). He could also be the future seme. I can't help but really associate the two because they do have almost same character. But I saw in the raws that his father really looked like him. Ugh Idk.
