again i can’t help but feel bad for jaekyung, like everyone else he was just a scared little boy. but he’s such an asshole and this barely excuses all the shit he put dan through.
I CANT WAIT FOR THE GROVELING ARC
i don’t know whether to be mad or glad i took so long to read this…. this might be peak
wait the thing that makes me love this sm is that the sunbae is usually like an asshole and really is just using the other ml. but in this story they r like so sincere w each other and u tell that the sundae is already super into the ml and not just regarding his looks like he’s really into every aspect of him ITS SO CUTE
i think the thing that pisses me off the most abt taehan is that there’s not an ounce of sincerity in his actions or behaviour towards mc like literally all he does is on a whim or to fulfil his own needs
no.. this sob story isn’t gonna work on me… i won’t gaf … i swear… but im an empath dammit
i know the general consensus around letio is that he’s annoying me crazy and a sociopath. & i’m definitely not disagreeing with that, like hell i totally have the same feelings but i cannot help but feel SO BAD for him
first of all, what do we know about letio as a character? we know that he’s the empress’s lost son and the original protagonist of the story but in this story he’s also deeply loyal and in love with selena. but i have always been confused on why??? like from what they showed us at the beginning, selena saved him from drowning and that it. they didn’t show anything about the conversation they had or the context of why he was drowning in the first place, till we were super deep into the story already, with both only being revealed when he met the empress for the first time and when he found selena again after she ran.
because of this, his character and motivations throughout the story is so shallow?? like really all we knew about him is that he’s obsessed with selena just because she saved him once. i just feel like he was never given time to grow and have depth as a character.
him falling in love with selena because she saved him after he had given up on everything, living a horrible life with no reason to really live. but selena saved him and promised him that one day he too, will have a happy ending. like this is so interesting??!! this shows us so much more of the reasons behind his motivations and actions and why he is so obsessed with selena.
and then his confession scene where he was begging selena to not leave him because she was his only hope and light. — we never once rlly saw that letio viewed selena as someone he was living solely living for. like yeah he killed a bunch of ppl for her and all but he just felt like the typically shallow obsessed 2nd male lead, it didn’t feel like that was rlly any motivation behind it besides “letio loves selena = must kill those who hurt her” but in the most shallow way possible
maybe i’m just a big empath but i felt so bad for him when selena was rejecting him. like yeah don’t get me wrong he’s insane and everything he did was crazy and definitely WRONG. but is it crazy if i say that he literally doesn’t know better?
idk these r just my thoughts. i feel like a lot could’ve been done w his character and his interactions with selena and the people around him better. take my words w a grain of salt! maybe i should read the novel to see if anything was changed
i’m rereading the side stories & even though i know how everything ends these mf STRESS ME OUT. THEY R SO DRAMATIC im crashing out
they r the biggest rage baiters ever im getting pissed reading but i can’t stop i love them sm
i actually love this sm..this whole manhwa is a love letter to kpop and the joys of being a fan
