I think an older person actively rejecting the younger person trying to get with them is the exact opposite of grooming. He’s literally being a responsible adult.
And I think what’s the challenge here is for Hyo Un to make a case to Taehyuk that he’s not a child because he’s not even human — he’s a dragon and he doesn’t want to be treated like a human child. The question is will the story be able to convincingly pull off changing the way Taehyuk sees Hyo Un?
The comments section is going through extremes in opinions right now on if this is grooming or if it doesn’t matter since it’s just fiction. For me, even if it’s just fiction, a good romance story should be able to convince me that a relationship can still happen despite the odds. I can read taboo smut just fine but if the story is actually trying to have plot and character development, and it introduces complications like “one character has essentially raised the other character who has now declared love for them”, I need to be able to be won over by the storytelling on how this will be resolved in a way that isn’t out of character for anybody.
So yeah, I don’t think this manhwa has grooming, but I also think this manhwa has set up a situation where the uke fucking the seme as they are now would be bad character development, unless it’ll be able to somehow do a miracle shot of writing it believably.

I actually really enjoy the plot of this series — I have no clue why there are so many comments that this manhwa doesn’t have a plot. Maybe they’re referring to the relationship development, but personally I see it as more of an extension to the political intrigue and is intentionally a slowburn because there’s just more important things to worry about.
Saw the raws for this. Black hair with the middle part is the bottom, for anyone that wants to know. I still like it but I was hoping for the other guy to bottom lol
