yall im so confused so this is an adaptation of a novel with the same name but i just saw another novel called "la valse" that has the same characters and setting but a different plot??
"Sasha Sedrin nurtured dreams of ballet in a small Russian village. Recognized for his talent, he attends a ballet school in New York. However, he struggles with his impoverished family background, innate anxiety, and chronic lack of affection, leading to depressing days. Sashaâs only solace is writing letters to his sponsor. Feeling disheartened by the sponsorâs continued silence despite numerous letters, a chance encounter leads to a reunion and an unexpected offer: full support for anything Sasha desires, in exchange for a promise to become the best ballet dancer. Under his sponsorâs wing, Sasha grows as a ballet dancer and, starved for love, increasingly craves the affection his sponsor provides.
Meanwhile, Karel is an ardent admirer of the legendary ballet dancer Sasha Sedrin. He encounters a boy so similar to his idol that it wouldnât be an exaggeration to call him Sashaâs reincarnation. Overlapping the image of âSasha Sedrinâ with Sasha, Karel decides to sponsor the boy, driven by the desire to see him grow to rival his idol. However, unaware of Karelâs inner thoughts, Sasha focuses his affections entirely on him. Observing this, Karel becomes disillusioned with himself and tries to distance himself from SashaâŚ"
like even on the cover images that's THEM. is this a spin off or something???
never read the novel but yes that is what happens in the manhwa
that ISN'T what happens in the manhwa though? it's like a weird alternate version where karel being sasha's sponsor is the main plot point. even on nu the plot summary for "solo for two" is different than "la valse" but it uses the same characters and world. THAT'S what i'm confused about.
Just read another commentâapparently it's a sequel. The house they live in, assuming this mansion they have now, was eventually filled with pictures of Sasya and turned into a museum owned by Sasya's descendants. (?) I think it's a story about Sasya's descendant and Karel's reincarnation who had the same name; Karel Clementis.
OHHH thank you!! excited to read it!
what kinda porn set up....
Well I mean the scrawny twink already breaking the 4th wall calling it smut romcom
despite everything i can't help but want them to have a happy ending that's appropriate to the setting and plot, even if their happiness doesn't look like ours (my personal theory is that jinwoo ends up becoming another one of guwon's hounds and they match each other's freak). but the intentional unrequited love tag makes me think guwon's "love" will never be reciprocated </3 the interesting thing about guwon is that he's violent yet not malicious. for me personally, that's enough of a silver lining to hope for the best... whatever that "best" looks like.
I think the mystery behind Guwon will pull the MC back to him. If this kind of trope they have now continues the plot will be lost and this would end in tragedy. That's what I think
and maybe tragedy is the end goal :( i sure hope not. the mystery is definitely pulling ME in that's for sure HAHAHA
I'm so scared the author might pull the messed-up ending and have Jinwoo become so brainwashed that he is no longer affected by what Guwon does anymore. I just have a feeling Gyeongha is going to die. It's going to be Jinwoo's fault, and this makes me very upset.
Really hoping it goes differently and Jinwoo finds a way to change Guwon instead.
i am too we're already heading straight toward dubcon territory with how jinwoo is willing to do anything to appease guwon, even if that includes sex... i hope we spend more time on the side characters in the second season. i didn't feel much for doc's death since i wasn't that attached to him. if gyeongha does die, i need it to be absolutely heart wrenching
my biggest concern right now is the fact that guwon fell "in love" with jinwoo bc he was the only person with the courage to call him out on his behavior. but now with him pretending to go along with guwon's whims, it's unlikely he'll do that anymore. guwon wants someone who can teach him right from wrong, but jinwoo's now willing to turn a blind eye in order to appease him. horny and scared. can't wait to see how their relationship develops in season two
and kudos to gusao for completing season one without a hiatus. but as expected of our goat
the way guwon has more confirmed kills than the fucking zombies
why are we so aggressive to each other right now :( people thought guwon was a green flag bc our first impression of him came from the lz sg where he was kissing a gun with cute stickers on it, had blushies on his cheeks, and was nuzzling jinwoo's stomach. imo it's reasonable why people are disappointed it's looking like he's not and why they're still hoping the first impression was right. everyone's green until they're not and all that. let's stop being condescending with each other
maybe the hounds of sisyphus were the friends we made along the way
wow this was such an awesome chapter!! i specifically loved when jinwoo's dad came back to life with milk and doc saw his wife and child again and guwon pulled out his cock and said "here's the real reason why it's called hounds of sisyphus" and jinwoo rode his face into the sunset
I'm patting ur back as we speak
I love this⌠this truly was our hounds of sisyphus
having a horse cock AND being a green flag a man can only be so greedy
