Buddy, YOU are the problem. YOU are the source of his stress. Why bring him back? Where’s the so-called treatment he’s supposed to go through? What’s the difference?! Kim Dan deserves the world AND to be able to punch Jaekyung in the face (just once, please, pretty please).
I don’t know why I thought this was finished… I always get got. But, man, oh man. This is absolute perfection. The banter + dialogue between the main characters is crazy amazing. They both have such strong, district personalities. They feel so real. Like, genuinely real. The artwork is gorgeous. I love that Yunshin is the primary drive of their relationship. Like, damn, he fought for that man! And he deserves that man! I love that he wants sex just as bad as Mr. Kang. I love their flirty-ness. I appreciate the amount of research that surely goes into the law aspect of this story, even though I don’t understand it half the time. What a rare gem. I’m hoping for another update soon!
Hoping Kim Dan stays; otherwise, we’re just rinsing and repeating the pattern that got them here—the debt. But, if he goes with Jaekyung, Kim Dan will be free of that stupid fucking debt!!! Rooting for Kim Dan, my baby.
Man, that idiot had to be told by someone else to realize his feelings for Kim Dan.
Glad that the old man was able to tell him what he has to hear.
The old man's right after all.
Jaekyung didn’t break the cycle of violence. Unfortunate and realistic. If Dan and Jaekyung end up together (which they will, because we know how these plots go), it’ll be interesting to see more signs of symptoms of abuse in Dan. His alcoholism, self-destruction, and suicidal tendencies are so sad. How will Jaekyung handle it? He couldn’t bother to deal with Dan’s alcoholism. I’d like to see Jaekyung in a caregiver role, because he’s definitely traumatized and abused Dan to the extent of Dan needing this type of care.
Poor kiddo :( But toward adult Jaekyung, I have to say: I’m supposed to feel sorry for that bitch? I don’t!
IFKR, bruh people on Instagram are like " i never hated him" or " everyone has a past see hes a nice person" IM LIKE GIRLLLL????? THATS AN ABUSER AND A FUCKINRAPIST SYBAU
I never hated him either :// it is simple, he's not real.
Word.
Fr this's the best part of following a work in progress. Anyone can hate or love JK for who he is, there'll always be criticism, rants, and more. The problem begins when people insist on claim they own the truth or distort the story to prove themselves right, so they write an entire essay trying to convince others that Jae Gueng is not abusive but is a complex character, bro, let's just lol
I saw that. Plainly stating it, he’s abusive. Sure, he’s complex, but that doesn’t excuse his actions. The complexity of a character doesn’t mean we can’t criticize Jaekyung (which he rightfully deserves). If anything, it encourages the reader to condemn his actions, because abusers choose to abuse. There are plenty of people who’ve broken the cycle of violence. Jaekyung, unfortunately, did not!
I love the trust between Haekyeong and Kwonlim!
Thank you so much for this comment. I lowkey forgot their names already (just finished reading it)
He’s such a red flag And he knows and admits it. It’s refreshing! Love seeing him go wild for In-Seob. The letter parallel is amazing. He never opened or even knew about the letters In-Seob helped write in the past, but this singular letter now, he’s jerking off to. Damn, if that isn’t sweet karma for him.
To think this is the most thoughtful, selfless action Jaekyung has done for Kim Dan in 80 chapters… 80 chapters! Holy shit. I don’t think this guy can redeem himself. He’s just acted so grossly and terribly and Kim Dan hasn’t even truly confronted Jaekyung for how he treated him. Perhaps, that’s why I feel so unfulfilled with this redemption arc. I suppose it’s a “slow burn”, so we’ll see if this redemption arc gets any better.
