not to diminish the manhwa or anything, but it doesn't do the novel justice.

what happened to the blondie? did he eventually get into a loving relationship, hopefully with a rich man so he don't have to sell his body anymore? also, i hated how he was treated in this story, in contrast to mc who was treated like a baby bird. i don't think i ever pity a chara so much that'll i dislike the mc. also, i don't understand the reason why mc ask chisoo to run away with him, bc he doesn't seem to be the moral type to be so torn about his being a violent gangster, to the extent of asking him to leave his entire career behind? this is supposed to a big moment that underscores their clashing ideology, the reason why they cant be together despite loving each other. but I'm not feeling it, bc there's no lore behind this logic. also, the fact that he cheated on him too, but there's no self-reflection afterward... ugh. the narrative never acknowledge his flaws or criticize him, always lets him get his way without major consequences for him, never struggle on his own or is forced to grow because the mls are there to save and love him, and never had him sell his body desperately like blondie. the only time he did anything drastic was looking for jungkwon, but even then, he had someone to wipe his ass.. When his association with jungkwon came to light, he didnt suffer from consequences bc chisoo is so in love with him. that's not to say he didnt suffer, but he feels more like a plot device than a character honestly. as for chisoo, i like that he fell for mc. Still, it feels so mundane. he wasn't a jerk to begin with, and pretty much indulge in mc, so his absolute love for mc didnt feel cathartic or sweet, but instead shallow bc there's no basis.

while i understand that he's nuanced, the ml's not hot or charismatic enough to be this much of a jerk to mc. the best aspect of the story is the intricacy and details about the legal system, but it's not compelling enough to overshadow or diminish the asshole-ness of the ml. the mc is okay, but not endearing enough to make the unequal power dynamic any less infuriating. it's also quite annoying seeing mc developing concern and the beginning of feelings for ml when he's been no less of an asswipe to him so far. when i checked the reviews on the novel, it was well-praised, but the story falls short of the praise IMO. still, i have a sliver of hope. does it get better, and does the ml actually ACTUALLY redeem himself?

damn im just reading this for smut and whatever toxic power dynamics and ngl it's entertaining seeing yall lose your minds. i mean, if the uke cheats, while disappointing, it's not all that surprising and kinda in-character. it's already established early on that it's incredibly toxic, and thru out the story there's this developing theme of mind vs body, or love vs lust, and the sexual exploitation of a younger person and its effects. I'm more uncomfortable with the latter, and the excess of graphic violent sex that comprised 50% of the story thus far... but well, it's not like I came here expecting a wholesome relationship. however, that's not to say it's well-written... just, not unexpected and out-of-tune if he lets himself get fucked by the glasses dude

turns out my favorite genre is heartwrenching/gutwrenching/ angsty stories with subtle bl vibes, like banana fish and a cruel god's reign. any more stories like that?

he did not choose to die. the meaning was lost in translation, but the wound was fatal. he would've eventually succumbed to it, and went to the library to read the rest of eiji's letter. despite all the near-death experiences, his cause of death is so insignificant, but eiji's words, that his soul will always be with him, grant him salvation and a last dose of happiness, and that's why he was smiling in the end. it's an incredibly bittersweet ending
