This manhwa isn’t perfect by any means but it has a special place in my heart ☹ I remember waiting for a new update and reading it the second it came out while I was at school lmao. I miss my boys so much
FINALLLYYY Dan is looking more like his original design again, instead of weak small yaoi bottom
the amount of aura siwoo lost from doing that it would’ve been better to just say he couldn’t swim
Byul already said that no know believe him, when siwoo said to them that he can't swim
They only stop bothering siwoo after they see it themselves
I actually really like how the milk, cologne, and sex are a jinx that he created for HIMSELF. It was something he clung to out of desperation and fear :(((( plus it helped him deal with his insecurities
+ I can’t wait til he grovels but thank god he’s finally realizing his feelings
This was probably the most well-fitted backstory for Jaekyung, because it explains his comfort with older folks (which can stem from the Director helping him out, but also a subconscious feeling of ease around people who are “less powerful” than him or that he can maintain control around). Plus, his anger with Dan’s drinking, him recognizing the “stench of poverty,” why he can’t express love or recognize it, and his desire to be at the top (for his mom, to prefect himself, and to prove to his bullies that he is not weak).
Trauma responses are not simple. They are not easy to understand, and everyone’s way of coping is different. Where Dan gets quiet and spirals, Jaekyung is filled with anger and puts up walls. They’ve both suffered, but you CANNOT expect Jaekyung to act like Dan. He would really benefit from some therapy, but unfortunately right now in the Mingwa universe the focus is love.
I’m seeing people say that he should be more empathetic towards Dan since he went through some of the same things, but there’s a specific type of anger/detachment in this scenario that can get in the way of that empathy — it is not that simple. It’s a feeling close to superiority (for getting out of that situation), but in a sense, not quite. It’s not about being an asshole. Sometimes these ugly feelings and complexes arise and you don’t even realize.
•Although it sucks, and I love Dan, liking someone puts them under absolutely ZERO obligation to like you back. Jaekyung was an ass about it, but he didn’t need to reciprocate any of Dan’s romantic feelings. They had an “agreement” (but yes, Jaekyung took advantage of Dan in that moment and made him agree).
•Jaekyung’s past does not excuse his actions, but rather, makes them easier to understand.
•I kind of want to see Jaekyung eventually tattoo Dan’s initials or something (later on, of course) since he can’t wear rings as an mma fighter).
Well said
