the seme and the uke are both crazily my type. the smut is out of this world. the character dynamics are both hilarious but also so heartwrenching, i'm literally crying and laughing at the same time. Peak yaoi.
basically confirmed theory for s2 angst: in a past joseon era life, lee yeon (seme) tied his red string of fate to hong kihoon (uke). since hong kihoon is a blazing soul who is supposed to go thru life without a destined partner to have the best luck of his life, the forced bond reverses his supernaturally good luck and invites misfortune. heavily implied that lee yeon dies trying to protect kihoon from this misfortune in his last life. my guess is that they have to resolve to be happy in their current life to move on and clear the bad luck, but with knowledge of the past there is also guilt. still hoping for a happy ending.
