Poor Oleg like for a while he was the only child the only actual child because the FL and the ML are like 20-year-olds in children’s bodies. He’s an actual child, He’s been beat by his father multiple times, He is clearly the unfavorite of his grandfather, nobody really cares about him, and he went from a whipping boy of his father, to whipping boy of his cousin, and he’s definitely not going to be better than her or anything so it’s not like he’s going to get a meaning title like someone please save him I beg! Save me boy!
This is similar to The "Fleas in a Jar" experiment. Oleg was shaped and taught to not step out of line or consequences will be the result of failure or 'disobedience'. For this situation, the FL would also be in the same place like Oleg if not for her courage. Although,I would say that FL has advantages in this situation because she already learned that she is all she has and nobody to rely on in her past life meanwhile Oleg is still believe that as long as he has someone to back him up then he can continue his attitude.
And it sucks that for him to change for the better it has to get worse for him because while I want him to be able to be independent from his father, I also want him to be independent from FL Because she also clearly doesn’t have his best interest in mind
I thought this story was honestly really amazing and it’s one of the few times where I’d like both the side couple and the main couple the similarly. With the main couple, I thought it was really beautiful how the top loved the bottom in a way that was right each time like he showed up in exactly the way we were at the bottom needed the most and he was always so understanding. I loved how the bottom despite being in his head a lot learn to get out of his head and just appreciate the time he has with the top as well as being able to self the horrible shit he’s going through for his lover. With the side couple, I wanted so much more of their story because I thought it was really good. I loved how absolutely rocky it began mostly due to the bottom because he’s an asshole who was very clearly working through stuff and each time that he needed something, the top would show up for him. He would bend over backwards for him, but he would also remind the bottom of his own personhood.
I love how the series tries to make you think that the two brothers are completely different from each other when you really look at it they’re pretty similar, which makes sense because they spent a lot of their formative years together in the same environment but they are just ever so different mostly in mindset we are the older brother is more guilt bearing, and the younger brother is more guilt escaping. I would’ve loved it if just like how the top helps the older brother to stop carrying the weight of the guilt if the top helps the younger brother to start accepting accountability for his actions because he was doing a lot of fuck shit. I also thought it was nice because the bottoms are both similar that the tops were both similar as they both showed up in similar ways for their partners, however one was more submissive to match a more aggressive bottom. I think it was crazy that they were coworkers and they never share a screen together.
I definitely think that now that both the brothers have moved on from their one-sided love of someone and formed a happy relationship with someone else that reconciliation is possible. I definitely think a meeting between the two will be accidental and a bit messy but ultimately good.
I don’t think I ever hoped for side stories this much before
Well, I feel bad for the evil Twink because it’s not his fault that one he’s gay and two he’s being unable to love the one he wants, needs to move on because clearly it’s not mutual even though it’s a really hard thing to do even when you feel like you’re never gonna find anyone else because it’s clearly not healthy or anybody in the radius
He's unhealthy and he should move on instead of ruining other people's life
Yeah that’s what I said
I think they’re not happy with the “it’s not his fault” part of what u said. I think it’s his fault lol
Oh well yeah it’s his fault He’s making someone unhappy, but that’s not what I was talking about really. I was more talking about the circumstances of the situation he finds himself in due to the fact he is gay.
true lol
I love everything. I love the stories. I wish the aftercare was shown a little bit more, especially because the plays seem like they take a lot out of the sub each time but I’m actually kind of sad that that Dom that the doctor was with was an asshole too much so because I thought I felt a possible side couple/future side story with those two coming on where maybe the Dom learns to be a better person through his love of the sub but fuck me, I guess. Still hope he gets a side story eventually tho!
This is one of the stories where I’m fine that the ending is the way it is because it’s kind of fitting that no one has really had a happy ending not the family, not the Doctor who was abandoned by his father, not the bad father Doctor who abandoned his son, not her not the silver hair man, definitely not mc, and not the ml (if you don’t count the second end for the last two) like damn no one‘s happy huh?
I forgot how much I love the bottom like I love when people are reformed through the power of dick
I need writers to start throwing the second male leads a bone if they can’t have a steak. Like I understand they will never get with the main character however that doesn’t mean they have to live the lives of the most holy Saint you know and get nothing in return because what the fuck do you mean his brother and his best friend started fucking and then his brother manipulated his best friend and the whole time his brother who raised him was the worst to him and he’s just ok with it at the end and still acts like he has the best relationship in the world with both his best friend and his brother when he should’ve at least gotten a moment where he was allowed to be angry at the situation and the fact that he lost like stop smiling at least be aware of your situation
Well first of all I love how adorable he’s being with Shin I think it’s really nice that he has a friend he can look up to kind of like an older brother however I know I’m going to have to brace myself bc I already know they’re going to do the left behind trope with Oushi since and it’s going to be so heartbreaking and I don’t need that please just find someone. Like everyone else is talking about marriage and wanting to have children which is crazy you guys are in college not even graduated first of all but the fact that they’re already so far and he’s not even on the ride is heartbreaking like please I’m so desperate please find someone
This story is interesting on paper but it would have been better if they went into the relationship between the cousins in the beginning instead of what they did as well as the relationship between the royal siblings/their parents rather then just the first, third, and ML
I’m so conflicted honestly because he’s genuinely one of my favorite characters in this entire story because he’s definitely one of the most tragic and I feel like death would complete his story perfectly however I don’t want him to die. Like the fact that his family had to die is so unfair. His whole story is so unfair the fact that he had to make all these sacrifices because of his bum uncle. The fact that even if his father wasn’t the way he was, he would’ve still died young because of the curse. Yona makes a good case for the chosen one aka Harry Potter, he makes a good case for not unchosen one aka Katniss like please someone save him because while I like the relationship, those three share it’s very clear that while he’s important to them, he’s only playing second fiddle and I feel like after everything he went through he deserves to feel like he’s number one to someone even if it’s temporarily because I feel like they’re still gonna kill him off
I agree with you! I have such a love-hate relationship with Soowon, recently I've been feeling so bad for him but then I'm constantly reminded of how he was ready to kill Yona off without any second thought. And also how Yona clocked him during that arc where there was a possible war with a neighboring country, and we saw how Soowon had scarily similar ideologies to his father. I feel like after he reunited with Yona, he's becoming less like his father. I sometimes do feel like Soowon might not die, because they're definitely saving the dragons and getting rid of the curse, so Soowon's curse may also vanish. Also, I can not see Hak sitting on the throne for the life of me, but maybe that's just me. But then just when I start giving myself hope, I realise that recently the author has constantly been showing us how Yona is a perfect fit to be the ruler. She is the middle ground between her father and Soowon, who are both leaning towards opposite extremes. Idkkkkkk I do hope Soowon lives, but at the same time I don't want the trio to reconcile in anyway. I feel like the damage that Soowon did was really severe, no matter what his intentions were. I'm derailing haha, Idk but I'm sure the mangaka wont disappoint us. Even if Soowon ends up dying I think it's a good ending to end the bloodshed that started with their fathers, but it's really sad at the same time too.
Like I want to hate him because the series obviously wants you to feel more conflicted about him than any other character however, when I tend to think of characters, I think of their old story and not just their present as the fact that he was suffering since he was a child fated to die young will always get me especially since it’s so easy to read the crimson blood condition as comparable to real life chronic diseases. I feel like they make it so clear that even as a child, she just said on this in a way the others never saw and that even though he was being nice and cordial, he kept them at our arm’s length which is so sad. And I hate that his father was so quick to act, but the fact that when they found out that his wife had a chronic condition they started celebrating, will always make me side eye them but even that has me conflicted because they did end up feeling bad, but could they really do anything about the condition? I still don’t like Kashi however because she ended up having a personal connection to soowon mother and was still like “you need to have faith” like she’s dying.why would having faith in the gods who want her to die be a good thing?
Like you were saying I also can’t see Hak on the throne like I can’t imagine this guy army also listening to Yona like I feel like the elemental tribes are all going to listen but the sky and they might dissolve or something but I can definitely see Yona on the throne + her gang by her side look at the same time I cannot imagine soowon there at all. I feel like the cycle of hate is going to break but soowon is going to die regardless
Honestly I just want him to be happy
