003. Girl. i'm gonna hold your hand when I say this but the man you're doing all that for is probably gay.
Truethefire
Yeah…you hold her hand. I’ll hold her hair (╬￣皿￣)
Inui flopping his studies, not even knowing what gender he actually likes, not noticing the girl who actually likes him. he really is a total idiot (lovingly)
my annual reread of this manga. it's been like. 8 years since I first read this lmao. still one of my favorite BL ever. its so good in all its fucked up glory. the "you didn't love me as a father, and still won't love me as a lover" is INSANE work i love it so much. the kind of shit dreamed up by the mentally deranged. Ike Reibun my GOAT
Honestly, the artstyle change does bother me quite a lot. It gets better going into the side story, but god I miss how expressive and detailed Season 1's artstyle was. As for the story, I think the artist picking up from Season 2 doesn't really "get" the story as well as the one from Season 1. This is a novel adaptation, so there's no writer change or anything like that, but a lot of the emotions written out in the novel doesn't translate as well in Season 2 compared to Season 1
my biggest delusional wish for this is a side story where both doyoons are alive and big doyoon saves small doyoon
I like this a lot actually. This is pretty classic tragedy as far as story structure and characteristic goes. There are so many points, so many ways that things could have turned better. Both Taekyung and Heeseo could have avoided so many things that made their relationship so messed up, but neither of them would because thats just who they are. Idc if this counts as victim blaming or whatever.
Also the whole whodunnit mystery is a nice plot. The bait and switch about the who and why of it all keep me on the edge of my seat lol. The conclusion of that plot is pretty satisfying too, give a decent (if still messed up lol) reason why Heeseo keep Taekyung confined. Should have seen the twist with the actual murderer coming from miles away, considering Season 1 made it clear those old women are insane too lmao.
Agree! This is one of the rare stories with good crime drama. The characters are good as well, and all of them are contributing actively to the story. This is a good read, actually.
glad to know I'm the only one who dislike how Gon and Yonwoo treated Woojoo this whole time. Like I don't think you understand the heckles that the whole thing with deliberately keeping Woojoo in the dark about him already knowing raised in me. Like hello??? Like he know that Woojoo is stressed out about it and deliberately made it worse and for what?????
Also not showing your lover anything about your own family for no reason for 5 years is genuinely red flag behavior.
Like if this whole mess is any indication to how they treated Woojoo for 5 years of course he's going to feel inadequate and insecure like holy shit
This is amazing. Love this. But I feel really blueballed that they're both horny fiends but we only get to see them actually have sex once in a side story. Like. Why. Commit to it dammit
THE PEOPLE CHASING AFTER HIM ARE GLAD THAT HE GOT AWAY!!!! THEY ALL LOVED HIM SO MUCH I'M CRYING. YU IJIN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED.
Also ehhh i wish the author do something different with 003. theyre on the right direction when she is all "you have to forget about ijin and join us to survive", but they went with the yandere route instead of the "selfish, myopic realist" she could have been. but of well
