why is there so much emphasis on the sexual nature when it isn’t telling a story, THEYRE THE MAIN CHARACTERS!! i wouldn’t mind the heavy sex if we saw emotional intimacy during it as well, but it’s boring and showcasing sexual chemistry instead of complex feelings between them. tae let himself be used and heeseo took advantage of it again, then completely threw away his promise. over and over we witness tae get used as a sex doll, then heeseo insisting he wants him safe?? his character got reduced to a sex addicted, hypocritical scum when he had potential to be vengeful or want to understand tae as a person- and learning about all the schemes. when are they ever going to talk about the skeletons in the closet!!
and it’d be fine if the sex scenes are meant to emphasize how heeseo will always be a sadistic/selfish person but it’s just such a waste of potential given the first season. sex scenes are important to storytelling, but when it’s taking away from internal dialogue, vulnerability, and relationship development it becomes useless from a narrative standpoint

dan accepting jae for who he is, and not letting him ever cross the line while shitty and untamed?? no bullshit hopes, and only letting that child get what he needs with his jinx… jae when are you gonna become pathetic i need to see it bad!!!
this author does toxic sex way too well, she pulled out the passionate mating press and lazy backshots… gave me flashbacks

regardless of how he looks, i would still think the same way. he knows what he’s doing when he puts on the puppy role, and pretends to be easy going. meanwhile all of the adult citizens avoid him, and even shake from his intimidation. i like this about him tbh!! i don’t expect him to be some evil incarnate but he’s definitely using bambi tactics to get mc to love him and become vulnerable

i don’t necessarily think all his actions or kindness is an act!! the box holding felt genuine but the moments when ml triggers mc’s overly sympathetic instincts is interesting to see (with the crying and asking for affection)
i agree with the second half, ALSO watching the old man react to “equal treatment” resentfully when mc was given a handicap is off putting too!

wooju’s memory loss is becoming extremely detrimental??? he hasn’t even been remembering to take the medicine either which means the effects are just that potent and dangerous from the little amount he ingested. im actually gonna cry because i feel so bad for him. the coloring of the art and lighthearted moments and expressions of the characters takes away from how heavy this arc is holy shit

he’s scarily accurate to how most resentful, insecure, and lazy men are in marriage. the abuse didn’t stem from a life altering event, caused by previous trauma. he acted chivalrous to get her attached, but then after getting comfortable he constantly pushed boundaries until he was certain she’d love him almost unconditionally. it wasn’t a quick flip. he showed her kindness, attention, and love she has never experienced before to gain control. knowing how little knowledge she has on normal relationships in general, he took advantage of her narrow view on them and would breadcrumb her his affection. for all the moments he destroyed her heart and soul, his shallow considerations must’ve felt like a drop of fresh water in the harsh desert
overall thankful there’s no tragic backstory to explain his soured love. he’s just a horrible man who’s actions cannot be understood… the abuse wasn’t special and the victim could’ve been anyone

im so used to seeing yaoi mc’s be very insecure and desperate that they’d take scraps from someone they like. to witness dajun prioritize his wellbeing instead of chasing the rush is amazing!! he expressed his disappointment in detail and gave ml necessary character development after being such a cocky, non-committed asshole. there was no ghosting and room for further misunderstanding
it’s horrible to be an impulsive option to someone instead of a choice!! i wonder if the focus will be on the twins now and ml’s post breakup arc
she’s so gorgeous as expected!! all their kids models LOL
