Like i couldnt take a breather from the back to back action, vulnerability, and stupid ass comedy. And while im personally tired of always having lloyd's dignity smashed and trampled, I just live by the fact that at the end of the day, even Lloyd doesnt give af about other people's struggles and has empathy the size of an atom LMAO.
But dang, it makes me miss the actual aesthetic coz the artist draw "beautiful" characters before they scrunch up those lines and even disgust the hell out of me HAHAHA and also, those little summons are so cute huhu. Look at em cuddle Lloyd.
Mommy got her priorities...skewed and all that. I kinda like how the author just "forced" a confrontationg with nokyoung asking for some feedback lol. Talk about braving the tumultuous probabilities of a parent's acknowledgement. Kinda endearing how he tries to speak up for their relationship. Atp, i want these two marrying in the future and tho it isnt a requirement since theyre basically too in love with each other, maybe even a child once theyre more mature to handle another human being under their care.
I'm honestly so glad the author decided to let him produce WITH his daughter coz most of the past producing happened coz someone elsw wanted him back or hw got caught in a situation. Plus we finally meet the mom in his daughter's eyes and this is their first official music together, like ugh. Mah heart
Like after all the drama i keep reading, i begin side eyeing the author wondering what they'll do now with the chaotic setting they write. For example, i like that these couple do talk it out which balances the no-talk tragedy from lin yi's fam. I also like the way they portray how that lack of communication tend to build visible and invisible doors and walls between the siblings. And that blame game? Damn, it's like a core element to most traumas like I'm reading "Someone Like You" and BAM, blame the child.
So I'll be expecting some confrontation between these siblings because they need to open that cabinet with ceramic plates threatening to fall and break. They need a catalyst to just open those bottled feelings (esp from Lin Shu since he's been expected to be the perfect child even if he was always "supported" by his parents)
1. The confusing rewind trope. So many details to unpack. Its not even a matter of unreliable narrator anymore, it just overcomplicates it (or maybe im stupid, so theres that) would honestly appreciate that monologue of Yusung but the foundation of the plot makes it sound like a half baked commitment.
2. Taewon and mr. Kim's relationship is so gray, i dont even feel that much persuasion in taewon speaking up. It felt so out of place as if im meant to appreciate him telling her those things when he's pretty much already involved in the politics that went on
3. But in general, im glad Taewon said something and Yusung chased after Sangrok and the ex idol trainer shows signs of doing something about the muddy politics.











The overall psychology of an Alpha wanting to be an Omega is an okay characterization but the ways that the author goes about it is...draining
1. Prostitution - which he chooses to try and do for a living... LIKE SIR, u may have a uterus but u are as Alpah as any Alpha can be. Why go there? It's like a low blow tactic to show he doesnt like just any alpha.
2. Hyperfixating on a second child - and he is spouting insincere sorries and being obstinate when he has freaking AYUMU to think about.
3. This cycles of drugs and a convenient ending - sure, human trials on an already 1 in a million condition for a heat when the doctor says it is about his health that could give him a better chance at pregancy and he only ever gets pregnant after a rude awakening when they almodt gave their child a food trauma.
And the 2nd bit is where the i kinda love it part because it IS an equivalently impactful rude awakening that Arima has his priorities on his ass. Coz if u cant freaking give your attention to an only child coz u are so twistedly hung up by the "miracle of life", you're just NOT fit to be a parent...youre acting a like breeder and while it gives light to his twisted mindset to be an Omega, the overall set up of the drugs and Izumi (?) somehow enabling this dangerous mindset, too, and he gave the child that food trauma. Jesus christ
Sooo accurate… its frustrating right.
