Unpopular opinion: but jung jaehan is my favourite character - not excusing his twisted sense of reality. Even though he does/did unforgivable things for kicks - I kinda relate to him on some level. To become so warped in your own self that you lose touch with reality, and tend to demonize people who threaten your sense of control (whatever you have left of it) over yourself - especially if it's in a way that is completely foreign to you.
Jaehan has been ignoring and dismissing his feelings because he didn't even know he was feeling anything at all except the same negative emotions he has always felt towards others.
I get why people are hating on him, but I don't agree at all. He's done some hateful things but he isn't a hateful person.
People only conveniently remember the "bad" things he might have done, but what he did before he actually knew heegyeom and all the things he did for him afterwards are so different. (He doesn't tolerate people disrespecting him, talking to him informally when they're younger, making fun of his clothes, causing him troubles at work, making him have that sad expression (when that dude mentioned his wife) he couldn't even scold that dude in front of him because he didn't want to be seen as his old self now) even with the movie itself, it was already ruined when he overheard them changing the script, he didn't intentionally change that. He also said his investment wasn't high enough to influence any decisions and even when he brought it up, heegyeom felt insulted and showed reluctance to make him do that. (Also, I think he was jealous of his "film" in his own delusional way because heegyeom was so fond of it, and showed that fond smile everytime he talked about it) - (Jaehan was a sadist no doubt but character development, people)
Also I don't know why people are conveniently forgetting that he was raped by heegyeom and accidentally caused him to overdose - not to mention his insomnia (which is literally one of the worst things to suffer from trust me)
Watching jaehan's wall crumble down was really painful to watch - because he wouldn't be able to go back to even his destructive lifestyle after this. I'm sure many people have said that he should suffer more for his sins, but to me, apart from the planting drugs thing, he has tried a lot to make up for his mistakes. Also heegyeom knows what kind of person he is - but there have been so many incidents since the start where jaehan has been so obvious with his feelings. After they really got to know each other, he has been a different person.
I think heegyeom will put 2 and 2 together, he did hint that he "shouldn't have said it" to jaehan and realized he had wanted to apologize but he didn't. He knows jaehan is an impulsive person with no control over his emotions but when he apologises and tries to make up, he is really sincere about it. Which has moved heegyeom before. Like the hwadae incident which became an inside "joke" afterwards between them. And now that jaehan is putting soooo much effort and money to make sure his dream is realized after it was totally crushed.
Plus is it me who can see how much he missed jaehan by the way he keeps kissing and holding him? Uwu. I'm just ╥﹏╥
I know people hate jaehan here, but I really love him. He's so pitiful, like a puppy hit by a car lying on the side of the road, just like heegyeom, who is like a wounded tiger. Idk I just love their dynamic and I don't hate anything about the story or characters in it. They're all very interesting, even if not completely likeable to many. I'll forever hope for jaehan to find therapy and heal himself so he can be good to heegyeom and vice versa. Something tells me that heegyeom liked jaehan at the same time he did back then - why would he even kiss him to give him drugs and had sex with him when he was passed out if he wasn't aware of him in that way? And why he felt sorry that he caused him to overdose. It's so interesting~
This manhwa is sooooo amazing. I read it one go and it's honestly so coherent and flows nicely~ no characters are overbearing.
And when I saw Jaeha beaten by his dad I was like "....oh fuck. That sick bastard."
I kinda like that prosecutor and mongmong doesn't have //that// kind of relationship, especially from prosecutor's side.
Also maybe because mongmong is so cheerful and strong, the saddest part of me in this story was the glasses boy who drowned who was probably jaeha's first love :(( the grandma and grandpa are just....
I want a happy ending where they adopt our mongmong and jaeha haha~ the parents these two deserve. I'm sure their parents know the relationship the glasses boy and jaeha had...:'(( which just makes it even more sad.
And even though jaeha's sister was such a little bitch to mongmong, but I don't hate her at all. She's a tsundere~
I like jaeha's entourage a lot as well~ I love how in every gangster stories, the entourage of the gangster ML are always the most wholesome characters in the whole story hahahaha
I'll prepare my heart for the angst~
"He really is....a tiger." I think he was about to say, he really is hot lol. Well. He's your new bf so say hello~~ he's really going to gobble you up like there's no tomorrow. I really really like submissive semes that aren't actually submissive by nature at all. Like being "soft for only you" but "I'll also die for you, and kill the whole kingdom for you" at the same time gives me all butterflies~
Wow... I'm so ready hahaha. Such a pretty seme and a maniacal sexy seme. His amber eyes remind me of Tiger Flower and the hot daddy from Under the Green Light. I almost thought it was the same author haha as Tiger Flower.
I kinda wish his eyes were red or violet...they're more menacing colours. Amber is good too though. They remind me of headlights hahahaha
Their relationship is gonna be toxic and dramatic to read, I bet. Enemies to lovers is my favourite trope ahahahahah LET'S GOOO!
Ah I really like this manhua and author so much. Their characters are so realistic and SENSIBLE... it's so wonderful to read their works. So fulfilling.
Pei lei hang in there, you'll be endgame buddy.
Ok, I'm shipping them although I know the 10 year couple is endgame......ugh my heart is gonna be sad ;_;
I wonder why uke ended up in this way...it seems they were exponentially different in intelligence since school, so maybe he's had a complex since high school....ugh a lot of angst is coming. This is why two people should be equals in a relationship.
Lol @ the dislikes. Well deserved.
Yeah it's almost like people can't have different opinions lol
We dont accept no cheating around here lmfao
He isn't gonna cheat wtf. The guy is gonna have a crush on him but the couple will be endgame ?? If the uke is gonna get toxic later because of his depreciated self-loathing, I'm gonna root for him to be with his boss obvs.
Finally FINALLY we get to know what happened... I'm also more invested in jiseung and sagong's relationship rn hahaha jung jaeha could be the rival...but I really hope he gets therapy before falling in love with ANYONE especially jiseung lol. I fucking love this manhwa so much. Not a damn character out of place~
I read the raws. Tbh they all look great together I’m hoping for a throuple
Lolol true true. They are all so handsome and funny~ very realistic characters even when they aren't.
can i have the link for the raws
Ok...but the fact that sehyuk daddy is supposed to this wimpy dude's bodyguard, and follow him, the wimpy dude is the one who is following him into dangerous places~
Like I know the plot has to move somewhere, but make it make sense hahah
I get sehyuk's personality has been written as "i don't give a shit" character so he's kinda reckless and what not, but seriously. I bet he's just taking him there to beat those people up or something...or to traumatize this wimpy dude even more. Taking a kidnapped victim to its kidnappers for fun...imagine.
Aiya, I'm just...ok. waiting for character development for the wimpy dude, and I'm just gonna keep simping for Sehyuk.
Also his snake TATTOO....bruh bruh. It reminds me of the same tattoo that a youtuber has... the channel is called The Movie Budz...and the glasses guy in it has that exactly same snake tattoo on his left arm...pretty eerie!
this is is a long messy train of thoughts I love it
UH.....the new dude is hella fine. Is he gonna be the new MC? or the rival ML? Oh God.. the redhead is soooo precious so I REALLY don't want the uke to break his heart ;_; so please let it be the red hair and black hair.
Idk why I can already feel the angst coming~ the new guy is too handsome to not be a love rival. Smh.
I want the uke to be the rival for the black hair not the black hair to be the rival for the redhead.
PLEASE DON'T HURT THE REDHEAD...I've known him for only 1 chapter, but if something happens even remotely tragic to him, I'll kill everyone in the room and myself Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Why do you wanna kill innocent people in the room ? If you wanna kill yourself go ahead no one's stopping you. Don't die as murderer .
Bruh... it's a meme...
I also said it as a joke. ( ╹▽╹ )
No you didn't (￣∇￣") you tell people to kill themselves as a joke? Ok.
Umm you know me and my friends always joke about death and all like if you die then please call me before that so I could list the things I want to eat ( you know in asian countries if someone dies then after funeral there's a kind of funeral feast , I don't know what you'll call that ) after the funeral and all etc. We are quite death friendly. So it's kind of a habit.
What a shitty defense lmaooo I'm asian too and I haven't heard such bullshit before. also we're not friends, so that doesn't even make sense. if it's a joke to you, then I hope you kill yourself as well. The world will definitely be better without people like you who "joke" about encouraging suicide.
It wasn't a joke, and you defending that vulgar statement is even worse. Please get some education and manners next time you say something even as a "joke"
Okay I'm sorry
Nevermind me, I'm just listening to Don't Blame Me by Taylor Swift while rereading this masterpiece (in fact the whole reputation album is written for Jaehan and Heegyeom"s love story hahaha) ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
