Well said. It’s so rare these days to come across a bl which touches such complexity. I started reading it with low expectations as I hate manhwa in western setting but I'm totally hooked
Fr I’m so glad i gave it a shot. I don’t tend to read stuff that has icky topics like toxic relationships but this one is built on misunderstandings rather than a gratuitous torture fest. I’m sure there’s a lot more stories out there that handle such themes with grace, but I’m fine with this being the only one in my reading list at the moment
This is an underrated masterpiece. Two characters who are opposites in many ways. While Brett is extroverted, manipulative, masochistic, and has difficulty empathizing, Hayden is introverted, emotional, has sadistic tendencies in bed (even if he doesn't like to admit it), and is extremely sensitive. These characteristics alone show how toxic such a relationship will be, because to work, at some point they need to compromise. Previously, Hayden struggles to stay with Brett, but his desires are frustrated because he clashes with Brett's strange personality and his difficulty in loving the way Hayden would like. Now we see Brett make his attempt, but it's clearly not working because the way he shows love is very different from what Hayden expects (and, let's face it, from most of society). They love each other but don't understand each other. This relationship will only work when each one compromises a little. As someone said in another comment: they need to work together to make it work.
