Initial partner is beaten and battered even though he's the cover art character, oppa's in jail, oppa's wife's divorced, and husband's heartbroken even though he thought it'd recover their relationship. The only good thing we get out is the MC also being single in the end for not respecting her husband who cared and trusted her through this.
Kinda hope oppa's ex and the husband get together, though. THAT'D be a recovery.
Her husband was a pathetic cuck who coerced her into sleeping with some sleazy male gigolo because he had ED and realised he has a netorare fetish. When she wanted to stop, he got her do it again and then eventually the gigolo ends up blackmailing them because he doesn't want to stop sleeping with her. The worse part is they couldn't go to the police because thanks to the husband the situation was just too humiliating to report, this is why the wife cheats and got pushed to her "oppa". Because she had no respect for lowlife husband who could only get an erection and sleep with her only after she had done it with someone else.
People think he's not acting like a 40-year-old.
He is? He has a job, he seems proficient at his job, he most likely pays for his apartment (until he had to move for protection), so he's grown up. However, working Taeho doesn't always translate into off-duty Taeho, the same way many IRL in the entertainment sector aren't the same off camera. We see even though he has some bed experience, but he probably hasn't been emotionally swoon off his feet to this level, so it's cute seeing someone being so taken off balance and experiencing actual love for the first time not knowing how to process emotions and talking out issues.
If anything, my critique is that, yes, there's a lot of sex, thank god, but there's not much else like leisure time that's not sex; we get 1 chapter in the extras like that.
I’m starting to see Yuan’s flaw being too secretive about uncertain things, like the lighter and now the blood soaked shirt. Being too upfront can be a bad thing, but I would’ve preferred this end with a cliffhanger where Yuan confronts Ajuicy about the shirt rather than another potential split without explanation after all that effort to get into Ajuicy’s house.











And given we have some attachment to the past characters, the ending feels inconclusive for them, even though the MC is a modern character and the past characters have descendants in her time.
