I read the raws up to the very last chapter of the season and I realized some stuff (no major spoilers just observations):
- Tae-Seung is really in love with Soo-Young. I first denied this fact because he kept being rough with him, especially during sex which was pretty confusing. But then as chapters go by, you'll realize this story has BDSM inclination. I don't know how I missed this point from the beginning while the cover of this manhwa is literally SY naked and on the floor under TS shoes. Could the author make it more obvious than this? It's a clear evidence of submission/domination type of (sexual) interaction. The sooner we understand/accept this, the better we'll enjoy this manhwa.
- Minhyunk is also in love with Soo-Young but he is a psychopath. I mean, no bad connotation here, just facts. I am talking from a clinical point of view: he has all the characteristics of a psycho. Cold, emotionless and does not know what love is. When he faces a dangerous situation, he acts like a cold murderer: 0 emotions involved. He can kill you with a smile on his face. He fell for SY but has no idea what the hell he is feeling. He keeps being an asshole to his lover and treats him like shit while wanting to be around SY. He keeps asking himself why he feels that way. He reminds me of Kang Mu from the manhwa The Beast Must Die. So I learned to like him. Deep inside, he is not a mean guy. He is just sick somehow. I like that the characters have different layers in their personalities. If I wanted only cute stuff, I would just read other manhwas. Just my opinion!
I think Minhyunk has just had a rough childhood or something. I think he can feel stuff but doesn’t know what it is or he has never felt like this before so he doesn’t know what it is. I mean in some ways I can relate to him but I have never laid a hand on them or forced them to do nothing they didn’t want to do. But I do agree with what you are saying
could you pls tell WHERE DID U READ THE RAWS?
tw// rape, rough sex, BDSM
I have the same thoughts as well.
Maybe (??) their dialogues weren't enough to show that this webtoon has BDSM inclinations with it because most of the dialogues by SY would almost be crying and don't know what he is doing making it look like he's getting raped WHICH IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO READ. Not gonna lie but reading SY panting over and over again and kept pleading to stop when they're having sex...was very uncomfortable to read. However, I think the both of them haven't realized that they have these traits.
Up to this chapter, things weren't really clear about what they're relationship is/going to be because TS wants to be gentle with SY and approach him slowly but he's actually doing the exact opposite. And maybe after the author comes back after three months of hiatus maybe we'll understand more of their relationship this is just my opinion after reading the raws.
Minhyuk, too. He also has some BDSM traits in him +++ he doesn't recognize what he's feeling towards SY. He, too, wants to dominate SY but I think he's skeptical about it since SY is his boss's lover.
Yeah. I think Minhyuk likes SY because he reminds him of someone. SY was trying to protect him in the beginning and he probably just wants someone who... idk how to put it into words. But he what’s what SY and the boss have. They obviously care about each other/have feelings for each other and Minhyuk doesn’t understand what those feelings are.
Also, love it when Minhyuk doesn’t rape SY. Not a fan of what he did to him when he was drunk but it could’ve been a lot worse
THANK YOU(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Have you read the spanking episode yet? It's only until then that I realized the BDSM vibe of this manhwa. And then few episodes later when TS sits on his couch remembering SY while they were having sex and he was touching him tenderly. He thought something like: "I want to protect you and keep you by my side". So clearly, he fell for him badly but he can't help being kinky at sex! And SY also keeps craving for TS being near him and touching him. That's what he says in his monologues. It seems he is just confused with how TS is intense during sex so he labels these stuff of being "weird".
yes but I hope Minhyuk will find someone
I kinda want him back with his ex bf
OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Same!! His ex obviously still loves him and only broke up with him because he knew he was thinking about someone else.
YES I hope they'll get back together again ,but minhyuk has someone else in his mind rn so I hope he'll just get over sooyoung and go back to his ex
Right!! His ex is fabulous he’s funny and sassy AF. I really want to see them together I bed like... omg!
SAME HE'S FUNNY ASF
wait his ex is the one we saw at the end of this chap right ?
No his ex is in Chapter 18.
and in a few more Pages
the tan uke is Minhyuk's one night stand but you can see his ex in Chapter 18 page 6
oh yes i remember lmaoo i completely forgot bout him for a sec
he was the receptionist or wtv for that bar and hookup place right
I want to read this all over again from the beginning to better appreciate the characters development but then I realized that it all went to garbage last chapter and SH is back to square -233301920000. Yet here I am, still waiting for the next chapter although I know it will be too short and leave me again with a huge frustration... especially if it's filled with Jihwa and Tarzan crap. Are we ever gonna see Nakyum smiling this season?
So true but it’s much more realistic then the characters changing quickly. It’ll take more time for seongho to stop being so toxic.. I’d really like Nakyum to be happy but he really doesn’t have anywhere to go and right when we were having some progress fucking Tarzan popped up and ruined shit
Anyways I’ll obviously stay and read the story for the development and maybe in the future we can get some romance even tho it’s highly unlikely... Nakyum really deserves better but we’ll have to wait for the teacher guy to come back to have more drama later which might make seongho lose his shit again if they don’t work things out after he finishes ravishing him this next episode.
not only that but we havent even gotten to his ficking background story so there is really no sign of development until that honestly （￣へ￣）
Have you guys checked the last release from the author? It's so cute and funny! It's a special Christmas edition of 2-3 panels where SYoung and TSeung are interviewed by a journalist or something.. so they are supposed to be the "actors" who play in this Manhwa. The journalist ask them what are their plans for Christmas. SY tells her nothing special, I am just gonna eat this and that and watch this and that.. and then she asks TS and he answers exactly the same thing so everybody around them (the journalist and the staff) feel awkward and SY is like very uncomfortable... And the journalist then comments about how their "friendship" is very strong since they share the same Christmas plans. So I guess, if I get it right, we should somehow guess that they are dating in real life... haha! That was sooo cute!! and SY looks so fashionable and hot! GO check it out! And tell me if I am guessing right or I totally missed the point. I used Google Lens app for translation so I am not really sure, haha!
Oh, here is the link for the raws. Check Ch.40 to see the special release I am talking about!

Thank u very much I saw the chapter but I didn't understand it but now I'm happy thank u
thank you!
If someone read the last raws (29-30), can you please spoil me??? THANKS :))
the "next petition" should be:
"please, let these characters have a happy ending! we love them!"
I just bought chapter 30 and holy shiitttt. Fluff time is over, y’all. Here come the pain.
I remember the very first scene in chapter one, but where did you get that they’ll be separated for 4 years? I must have missed that.
Thank you all for the update!
That's so sad!!! I can't wait for the time lapse and see how they will meet again... This looks like the end the the first season. I just hope the author won't give up on this manhwa. Fingers crossed!
Good news! Thanks for the update :)))
Thanks so much! Yep, this totally flew over my head and I didn’t work out the math. Four fucking years. The reunion sex better be good as hell.
So now we are all dying to see if Mr. Kim will find out what happened and informs Seungho and yet there's a big chance next chapter will be mostly about Jihwa and his bitch! Kill me with that shit!
Guys, do not hesitate to flood English L E Z H I N twitter account with the petition link anywhere you can. Especially under their posts of popular manhwa like Painter of the Night/ Legs that cannot walk/ ON or OFF/ My Suha. That way, it will definitely catch their attention! #Keeponfighting
The author response on Twitter>>>> "Thank you to everyone who visited (How did you know;;;)!! Episode 30 is on the verge of being finished, so I'm very busy, so I need to manage Twitter properly after a few days. Thank you again for your warm words of comfort and following."

Yeah but the bonus coins expire just as the new episode comes out. Craft buggars!
Sometimes that means that the chapter will be released earlier. Let's hope that's the case.

The author has a confirmed working twitter now?
Oooooo goodie awesome! Followed.
Yessss
I followed them and left comments on their pinned tweet (there’s a cute picture of Max and Chris and Chris is in a turtleneck omg). Hopefully even if my message is in English they’ll understand how much I adore them and their work!!
One positive thing about the new Arc is that we're finally gonna know a bit more about Asami's personal story. His half-brother showed up and he will probably stick around... I guess they'll mention their past or their parents at some point! Also, if there were still people doubting... Feilong and Asami are now definitely allies. And that french speaking guy who smiles a lot... he reminds me a bit of Akihito in his insouciance. I hope he won't fall for Asami and be a romantic rival for Aki （￣へ￣）
I think he'll be our bad guy.
He's on the double page chapter header while Asami's brother is not. So he is more important. And I think he's the one behind everything. I'm getting the feeling from all I read and saw in this chapter.
Mark my words ;)
Wow! I need the translation then because he seems quite young and innocent to be behind all this. I still don't know how he showed up and what is his role beside Asami. It was pretty confusing cause there were new characters, tons of actions, a hell of drama and only few pages in this chapter... and all in Japanese, haha! Maybe the translation will help once we have it.
didnt they say he is Asami's old friend?
they worked together. the word friend was mentioned somewhere in a description, but from the chapter I'm not sure they look like they buddies =D
Friend might be too much therefore
haha it was a really packed chapter indeed but tge sex scene was too short wtf
