Gonna be honest if this was some abusive shit romanticising a relationship (i.e. they end up together and be all cutesy after) I was gonna scream. This was the opposite this was so good you feel for Yoon Bum who is in love with a guy who is not capable of love. Sangwoo abuses and takes advantage of Yoon Bum on several occasions. One fucked me up though is when you find out he's a murderer. Ngl I feel for Sangwoo on some occasions (tragic backstories lol) but you also don't root for him cause he's irredeemable.
These two characters are so messed up it would be great as a horror movie on screen!!
Best ships are...
Yoon Bum and freedom.
Sangwoo and jail/death
The manwha itself does not romantisize nor glorify anything, the creator herself, says that it simply should not be shipped! But some immature children (no offense but come on, I hope no adults would commend something like this) decide that a rapist x victim would be cute. It is getting a hella cool 3D anime btw! Though Sangwoo's past does let me empathise for him in some aspects, I simply won't use his past to justify his actions, as the past can never do that, I hate it when people shift the entire blame onto his mother, as if she forced him to do such acts, yes, she did contribute a fraction of what made him the way but letting sangwoo get scot free is disgusting. Justice for Bum and the other girls he hurt ~!
I'm glad the creator mentioned it and doesn't condone a romantic relationship between them! I've seen some people on here sad that they didn't end up together which I have been side-eyeing because who would want that for Yoon Bum? That's great, I'm really excited to see this in anime form this particular story would just look great on screen. Exactly, I see the past as something important it should be a reminder of what not to do just because it happened to you. Anyways, I am glad Sangwoo got what was coming to him he reaped what he sowed.
Yeah the people who want them together are messed up in the head
Not generally a fan of rape which is why I prefer the secondary couples. However, once Hyeongjo gets his shit together he spends years making it up to Minjae. Though occasionally I like something dark so this is a decent read if you're looking for screwed-up characters.
I loved this especially the relationship between Taemin and Woojin kept me hooked it felt natural, also both likeable! But...
-Did no one really give a shit about Siwon? I felt his trauma was brushed over by the other characters?? I wanted justice for him dude tries to help his jealous petty brother only for that guy to ruin his life.
-What ended up happening to the younger brother??
-Also I feel like the other guy (guy who filmed the rape) got away with everything?? He's just as guilty.
I wish they at least made a grave for Siwon. He didn’t deserve anything he went through.
This is one of my fave reads because the development was right and didn't feel rushed like most yaoi. I really love the uke (Himari) in this (kinda need more yaoi where the uke is straightforward like this with his feelings). Gaku is also likeable he could've easily been one of those typical semes who take advantage of the uke but he didn't. So wholesome.
The main relationship was wholesome but that teacher deserved to go to jail Sakura most have been what 12/13? Jesus.
I initially liked the concept and the story but introducing Alex kinda ruined it...Alex and his boyfriend are fighting but kissing Jin? Lol I don't care about what the motive was that was cheating both on Alex's half and Jin's half. Jin not getting how kissing your 'friend' whilst in a relationship and not ignoring their advances is also dumb. Pretty sure greeting kisses (on the lips) aren't a thing (I'm from England).
In some culture kissing on the lips is a greeting but 1) this guy didn't just kiss but behaved like someone who is in love with mc 2) the guy is american and I don't think kissing is a greeting there
If it's a greeting kiss wouldn't it generally be done on the cheek? (from what I've seen). That was pretty much a french kiss wrong of Alex tbh. Yeah, that's what I didn't like Alex has a boyfriend but acted like he was in love with Jin like whut?! Kissing isn't a greeting in the states (lived there for six months).
Yep, in most cultures it's on the cheeks, but in few cultures a kiss on the lips (a peck, not a make out session) may be a form of greeting.
Beside culture, there are friends comfortable enough to kiss and touch each other but surely you wouldn't do that in front of your friend's new boyfriend -.-
In the states you don't kiss on the lips as a greeting... ever. I guess they're are some weird cases where it's like your grandma or something, but no. We give lots of big hugs and kisses on cheeks and foreheads but that's it.
Yeah, I know, I think that was a japanese sterotype that considers westerns way too open from a sexual point of view
Gonna be honest was shocked to discover a seke couple like this one! So happy to discover this I truly loved this. I know yaoi is written for females by females (in general anyway) but most yaoi tend to stick to 'seme' and ukes' so it's refreshing to discover seke couples as that is generally what is realistic in real life.
