So Wonho definitely made some big mistakes with getting involved with his sponsors sexually, but I can also see the stress he must have been feeling from watching Min Ki thrive and barely getting any chances. I'm also not sure if those were the ONLY ways he ever got a role, which would mess with his head even more and make him feel absolutely worthless and inadequate. I feel like if he talked everything out with Min Ki and told him what was going on, they could have figured something together and that would have been able to avoid a lot of the mess that's happened. I'm the most worried about what will happen to him, because I really think that he'll either lose his mind or kill himself depending on what happens, unless Eunwoo lets him go and finds a way for him to not lose his job and reputation.
Eunwoo is a really messed up character. I honestly don't see Wonho ever loving him, even if he stops being an *ss and saves him from bowing up with the press stuff. I actually thought that Eunwoo would get a wake up to how horrible he was being when he required that Wonho act like he loved him, and eventually let him go and choose what would make him happy. That obviously isn't happening though, so I don't see him ever getting real love from Wonho. If anything, he might get his empty shell of a doll if he ends up losing his career (the one thing he was ever passionate about) on top of losing the only love of his life. I'm not exactly sure if he could get a truly happy ending, but even if he didn't, I don't see him being worse off than having to watch his unrequited love form afar.
Taeyoung, unfortunately got caught up in the middle of all this and to be honest here as well, I don't really want to see him together with Min Ki. I do think that they could love each other, but if Wonho loses everything or dies or something, I don't really see that ever leaving Min Ki Not that he would necessarily blame himself or anything- but it would never leave his heart, and that would always be unsettling in their relationship. I do think he would be able to get over losing Min Ki over time though. He does have a huge attachment to him that would make this no easy feat, but I don't think it would be impossible for him.
As horrible as this has been for Min Ki, I don't see anyone else that would be able to make Wonho happy and I honestly think that he would be able to get through this together with him and be able to be happy with him ONLY if everything that has ever happened with Wonho came to light between them including what was going on in his mind through the whole thing. They could definitely use couples therapy, but since they're way too famous and in Korea, I don't see that happening. Ultimately, I think he's the only one that has the patience for Wonho and can work things through enough that it won't end up in Wonho disappearing either in mind or body. I can see him being able to find happiness with either Wonho or Taeyoung, so that's why I'm not as worried for stuff with him.
Also Wonho's manger is just a self absorbed f*ckwad for not giving a sh*t about him not wanting to sell his body to keep the company afloat.
I really hope Min Ki's manager does the right thing and tells all these folks what's about to happen (minus Wonho's manager) so they can figure something out so things don't end up the worse way possible. Maybe that'll be Eunwoo's wake up call to stop sabotaging and actually do something to help..
I've a habit of overthinking things, but I'm still curious as to which way the author decides to go with this. There's a lot of possibilities here.
I hope the author gets better soon.
Summed up the whole situation and wrapped it up in gold ribbons
So you think that Min-ki should get back together with Wonho after all that he has been through just to save womho from his own mistakes? No i dont think so.
I sympathize with Wonho and i am worried about the state he will be in if he gets fired but that doesnt mean min-ki should suffer even more for him. Let's not forget Wonho was just constantly cheating on Min-ki even after he forgave him and gave him another chance. He was also incredibly possesive and obsessive and tired to control every action Min-ki did including his work and roles. He made him call him everytime he did anything almost as if he was on crimial watch. He stopped caring anout his feelings and what genuinely made Min-ki happy and only ever wanted sex. Not only that he multiply raped him even when Min-ki obviously did not want it and told him "no". A person who does all that is not remotely a good boyfriend. I understand how frustrated he was in the begining when he began this whole sponsor thing but ot was never thr right route. He fucked up and then contuined fucking up, never learning from his mistakes. Min-ki is not his mother he isnt meant to take care of him for life, he isnt supposed to save him from himself at the cost of his mental health.
As for Taeyoung, he truly is a pure character. Yes he made mistakes but his intentions are always good and he really impressed me when after finding out about Wonho and Eunwoo he didn't immediately think "this is my chance i can win him now" he though carefully about what to do so he can avoid Min-ki getting hurt even if that meant to step away and try to move on. That was incredibly mature and progressive of him. I really think he and Min-kinwould make a good healthy non-toxic couple BUT only after Min-ki has a while to heal and get over his breakup and just become used to being on his own. He needs to heal first, not just rush into a new relationship. That's my only concern with them if they get togther in the next few chapters. I hope the author gets Min-ki to just as Taeyoung for time.
Eunwoo? Messed up. I truly have no thoughts on him other than he is a messed up character who probably has a dead conscious. I dont know if Eunwoo and Wonhoo are going to end up together and honestly i hope they dont. The whole thing will be just as toxic as Wonho and Min-ki. Guess we will see where it goes but i can't say i will be too emotionally invested in him or his conclusion.
The ending scenario was cute, but the main 2 folks' personalities made no sense and didn't flow with the story AT ALL. From the first 2 chapters, there is NO WAY that Kitagawa would have fallen in love with Yoshida without some longer plot points making Yoshida realize how effed up he was being and making a huge change in his attitude. On his own, I can see Yoshida falling in love first and then changing, but this story was far too short for that progress to happen to make a sensible story progression.
The best made character was honestly the crappy ex-best friend. He stayed constant and at lease the explanation he gave of himself made sense in the sh*tty never-to-be-forgiven way that could give better fodder for further plot development much further down the line.
This manga just didn't make sense from a story progression perspective. I don't know if the author was restricted with size right from the beginning or something, but this is just pretty artwork and bad everything else. If they were short on time, they should have created another character to be Kitagawa's saving pairing and gone down that cliche path. It wouldn't have been that interesting, but it's better than putting out work that will potentially have idiots that read it think it's hot to see someone having a panic attack get raped.. or just any rape.
I legit thought this would be a psychological type trip in the beginning, which I was cool with since those are their own category that you go into knowing it isn't going to be a happy ending, but forcing a happy thing at the end in the way it went is just sh*t.
I kinda appreciate how the nurse stays true to his character and is like 'nah, I srsly just wanted your d*ck'. I don't really feel bad for the patient guy since the dirty sex talk wasn't really a roleplay thing, so it translates as a part of his personality for me. I get why the nurse doesn't want to be with him.
showed in Iwase's imitation of him
So if I'm getting this right, the main couple is together with Kyon teaching Lucaon how to be better at stuff bit by bit, Ryan pulled an Angel (tv show) on Christoph, and it sounds like Karis dumped Shi..(can't remember how to spell) for being too unbending?
Well, Ryan pulled an Angel (basically the memory wipe thing) with dying afterwards.
Where did you get the idea from that Karis and Sihan broke up?
Yeah, the order of the pages has to be messed up a bit. Plus some pages aren't translated. But that kiss though. XD Awkward lips!!! http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/living_together/mf/v01/c001/46/
Am I weird for having had wanted to see Gray and the inspector go at it while Gray was disguised as him?... Just sayn' ... could have been interesting..
I thought i'm weird too...
Would you like to see someone looking like you doing it with you ? (⊙…⊙ )
Knowing how aggressive I can get sometimes..... ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Oh my god
IKR?! XD
Well I mean if you're sexy I guess.. XD
I have an identical twin and the answer is no (￣∇￣") *nrain
*brain screaming*
I love how this is making waves. XD Totes not saying I'm into incest (I actually avoid those since I'm personally super against them). I picture it like how it would be in a fantasy world with magic and replication/cloning spells or something. Like there's no way there could ever be 2 of me so I don't freak over it. If you had an identical twin though then I get how it can be alarming.
I had to reread after watching the live action movie for it. I was pissed that they messed up the characters and the acting was pretty bad in my opinion. Although, I did get the impression that they weren't well-seasoned actors. Either way, this helped calm me down now. Still wish there was more about the hot n' heavy life of theirs, but this has always been one of the few yaoi manga that I don't mind not seeing that with. It's perfect in it's own way. One of the not so many (just short or being rare) 5 star ratings I've given to manga.
my thoughts
will always be in my favorites
Dammit, the chapters are getting shorter.. Just when I start laughing at Nacchan's ending line there, I see page 15 and was like 'Oh dammit, sh*t!'
I really appreciate the existence of this manga. I hope it helps folks having a hard time and artistically, it just has a really good flow and feel. It's nice to see the the love story starting from before feelings were even there and I'm anticipating how the story goes from here.
