Plus even if it was rape I don’t get why people bother to complain after every single chapter as if the author is actually gonna read it and change the story We all know this manhwa has non-con elements and this manhwa has already been released for a year so if you’re bothered by it I don’t see the point in continuing (obviously this isn’t directed at you, I meant those who complain every single chapter about the rape scenes)
People keep saying it’s rape because it is rape. Informed consent is freely and voluntarily given. Doc Dan isn’t freely and voluntarily consenting because he has $$$$$ on the line. Using money and conditions like a contract is a form of coercion. Just because it happens in real life doesn’t mean it’s not rape. In fact those real life cases you’re mentioning are also, surprise!, rape. Look up sexual coercion because you’re clearly not informed about this topic
“Using money and conditions like a contract is a form of coercion”
You do know Dan WENT to Jk himself and asked for more $$$$$$$ and still WILLINGLY agreed to the contract, right?? He chose what was better for him and Jaekyung made himself very clear. He wasn't gonna go easy on him. Considering that Dan lied about being experienced is already shaming that rape pov. People need to be in both perspective of the story. There is abuse, no rape in here.
sideye not ts again
You don’t have authority to speak on this as you are clearly not informed on what “willingly” and “coercion” mean. Read a dictionary before reading this manhwa again
No, you don't get it. Dan wanted money. Just money. So you saying “using money and conditions like a contract is a form of coercion” is illogical in this situation when it was Dan who asked for more money. Jaekyung did nothing at that point in time. Dan increased the amount, so Jaekyung should also have the right to add his own terms since Dan is demanding more from him. No coercion there. Just business right there.
I read the story, quit yapping. You still don’t have authority to speak on this as you clearly still don’t understand coercion especially as it relates to sex work. Even if Dan was a sex worker (he is not), he’s still being coerced.
Does Jaekyung know he's not a sex worker? I'm just saying your theory about coercion doesn't fit the situation. And if you're so educated about it, why don't you enlighten me on it? Must you be rude? I'm actually keen on understanding your opinion.
Of course Jaekyung knows he’s just a physical therapist It’s true that I have not been patient with you, but I can’t help but get the feeling you are unwilling to learn. I have said more than once that consent is freely and voluntarily given. In earlier chapters, it is clear that even though Dan said “yes” with his lips, he is saying “no” with his mind and body. Jaekyung using the agreement and reminding him of his verbal “yes” is coercing Dan into sex that Dan clearly does not want. This type of understanding of nuance takes time. I can tell that you are young and not many people near you have shared with you their struggles. I hope that none of your loved ones ever has to go through what Dan is going through, and that if they trust you enough, they would tell you. And I hope that you would meet them with understanding and empathy instead of debating them and excuses.
Not everyone can read body language. Jaekyung is NOT a mind reader. You can see it but jaekyung doesn't. Be in both shoes and comprehend the situation. You explained nothing.
You're so wrong for judging me. You think I'm young because I'm not able to see rape in something that's not rape. You think I don't have friends or family members that have been in those kinds of situations. You're so wrong and it's pathetic the way you judge people for not agreeing with you. Your comment is both pathetic and ludicrous.
Alright we ad hominem attacking each other now? Goodbye. You’re not worth my time
I would gladly leave. You're numb to the brain. Bye bye
Please do not start a war in the comments again.
I think this is a more nuanced conversation than you’re giving it credit for. I don’t want to downplay the role economic desperation and sexual coercion plays in sex work, but you can’t consider sex work a legitimate job AND say he can’t freely and voluntarily consent because he’s being paid. Kim Dan did not make an uninfluenced choice, but he is an adult who made an informed choice without direct coercion by Jaekyung (who didn’t even know the situation when they made the contract).
Yes, Dr. Dan was going through an economic hardship but sex work was not his only choice and he was not forced into it; he deliberated, he weighed his options, he sought out Jaekyung of his own volition, and even negotiated for almost 3x the monthly salary, before eventually signing the contract. That’s not sexual coercion. (And it’s a much better deal than the vast majority of SW’s get.)
Thank you for explaining it better. I think this should stick in.

You're in your delulu era.. Go get your brain scanned bc you 10000% have some sort of severe brain damage to be so dumb and have such stupid insensetive ass takes. Anywho I'm going to go bc bothering to even argue with someone who clearly will not change isn't worth anyone's time. Enjoy having a shitty ass digital footprint</33333 ^3^
You’re triggered. Your frustration shows. Don’t worry, I understand your pain. Our Dan already loves our ML, you can't do shit about it, you dumb fuck. You're definitely mental in the head for not understanding anything the previous comments explained. See you at the end of this book and success to hate reading this and adding to the popularity of this book!. Author-nim be making hella cash!
I don't get why people keep saying it's rape. He keeps going back to the seme for one reason only $$$$$. Relationships like this happen in real life. They're both benefiting from this. Seme is not a nice person but that didn't matter when what the uke wanted was easy money. That's what he got.
