RIP mukhali, the second random person to get caught up in a fight between an unstoppable force (Tarkan Learning the Boob Window Maneuver) and an immovable object (Aristine 'Greetings fellow business partner')
why does he look like some basic sleazy oil salesman lmao. old butler has more rizz than him
also imagine being an adult and literally some random dude approached you like, "hey btw i'm your friend's new assistant that he didn't tell you about! he also didn't inform you i'll be picking you up, but please get in the car :) let me give you a totally non-suspicious beverage the moment you get in the car because that's such normal driver behavior."
this series got me laughing so much it's the only one i'll keep reading regardless of plotholes for the sheer drama of it all haha
Riiiight? Haha that was so fkin obvious. There wasnt even a candy to lure him (〜￣△￣)〜
Not only that, he's supposed to be a famous actor, so who even trust people that fast when you could very well be approached by a stalker or a crazed fan?
siccing rich trash mafia on them just because they rejected your confession
the jealousy trope in a non-established relationship is so *chef kiss*
sleazy snake man and discount jack frost
also, god, i just listened to a couple of podcasts covering the death of several notable asian celebrities and the sexual abuse and trauma they went through because of people like these. it's so jarring seeing it referenced even slightly now, because my thoughts go off in a darker direction on the reality of it all.
i can't help thinking if it was like in stories where someone DID manage to help them when they needed it the most.
like, look man, we've all acknowledged we're partaking in some small piracy here and there in this capitalist world and no one is claiming to be absolutely morally right
but the BARE MINIMUM decency of a translator is to translate it to the best of their ability. given that they've already taken potential revenue from the author, the least they could do is encourage others to buy it.
except nah, you got these chucklefucks who deliberately alter translation for ad revenue, who keep pumping out sub par stolen ts for clicks, who pull 'hee hoo i'm so fuNNEH and eDgY' prank tls or tls that are deliberately filled with personal biases that unfortunately serve to alienate any reader from interacting let alone buying it.
absolute trash behavior ngl.
then his snake's name went from 'shit' to 'Gucci' like that's fucking adorable okay. and dok gojun killing his Gucci is an acceptable villain arc/comrade arc to me idc.
