as much as it's bad because of all the SA and trauma. I would still say this manhwa is such a good read and you can learn a lot from the characters . it tackles about someone's trauma and how you can slowly heal from it with the right person to support you. not every manhwa has to flowers and rainbows.
I honestly feel sorry with shiwoo. what happened to him reminded me of all the mind-break sub-genre hentai-level-yaoi mangas i read before. (hi to seki sabato and cannabis works) if you've read one, you'll understand where I'm coming from.
shiwoo was abused. he was turned to what he is now against his will. he's not even gay in the first place but he was trained, conditioned, groomed, traumatized to do sexual acts. in the end, in order to protect himself from completely mind-breaking (which imo was a bad idea actually), he copes with more sexual acts and try to think of it as nothing but seeking physical pleasure. in the end it turned him to be more addicted with sex. i wished author included some psychological treatment for him. i feel like he needs those.
anw what i actually like about this manhwa is how the author tries to portray SA, how the victim's experiences can affect their personality and judgement. how their trauma affects their daily life. (spoiler: how shiwoo was so afraid to get out of the house, how he keeps apologizing because he's afraid they will hurt him again, how he endures everything because he was manipulated, how it was engraved to him that noone will ever accept him because he was "dirty", etc) it may not be exactly the same for others irl but it can be close to what happens irl (this depends on the severity of the SA).
i also like how the author shows us that with the right people around you, you can slowly heal from those traumatic experiences. it will be hard for both parties but if your partner can learn to accept your past and present, if you can find the courage to trust other people again, if you can allow yourself to depend on others even a little then it's possible to slowly get better. your past may never heal fully but at the very least, you can move forward.
to anyone blaming and hating on shiwoo, you have to understand that shiwoo is literally an SAd victim. you're literally victim blaming!! if there's anyone who we need to hate in here, it's the CEO who assaulted shiwoo in the first place and that hyun fcking manager who manipulated shiwoo which ended up worsening his trauma. it was so satisfying to see him get sacked
