I really think they need to team up and kill the current king. That's who ordered Heeryang to kill Yeonjoo's family. Ultimately, the king is the one Yeonjoo should get revenge against, he's the usurper and the actual traitor. The king was the judge and Heeryang was just the executioner. Let them get justice for Yeonjoo's falsely accused family. It's the only way Yeonjoo can move forward from his feelings of grief and his guilt for loving Heeryang. It's also the only way for Heeryang to redeem himself and be even a little worthy of that love. Heeryang gained his government position by harming Yeonjoo. If he claims to love him, then he needs to be willing to sacrifice that position to help him. Otherwise there is no character growth and this whole story just becomes pretty pointless and cruel.
I feel like the only way it could end well is if they transfer the revenge onto the grand prince who ordered him to kill yeonjos's family to begin with. That would be a more meaningful target than heeryang who just carried out the order, it would allow them to be on the same side, and heeryang could atone somewhat for what he did.
What about the rape? The abuse?
Fr
Obviously unacceptable in the real world or in most romantic stories, but in the context of this genre (where rape has become very normalized for reasons unknown to me) I think that would be the only way to make the story work if the writer wants them to end up together. If the writer doesn't want them to end up together, that's fine by me. I just want revenge for yeonjo and it seems like he's given up on trying to kill heeryang, so they'll have to kill the prince for me to be satisfied by the end. Also that would mean a lot more chapters with these characters working towards that goal and I want this story to keep going for as long as possible.
╮(￣▽￣)╭
I'd also add that the problem in their relationship isn't only the rape and abuse. The male lead literally MUREDERED HIS ENTIRE FAMILIY and did it in front of his eyes! They literally should NOT be together at all. They are the definition of toxic trauma bonding. But that's what makes the story interesting, is watching them somehow fall in love despite that. It's not realistic, but it is entertaining.
which chapter did we first see jaeshin meet child lee nok in the afterlife?
Special episode, after end of S2
thanks!
The story is so cute and I think the author did a great job of representing a different culture authentically and respectfully. The only issue is some of these comments are so ignorant and arrogant. （￣へ￣）
I really think this should have a sequel with hyunwoo and the hyung in LA. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Can you imagine your boss staring at you in the night like that? (⊙…⊙ )
horrifying
did anyone else go ewwww when suha kissed redhead?
also how many chapters until they quit this company and get away from these shitty family members?（￣へ￣）
I fucking SCREAMED. Like seriously, after him saying all that. WHY. And I don't wanna hear any crap about !"He did it to save him." Man clearly said all he needed was Suha and he turned his back on him, kissing that fuckfaced C****TTTTT. Tears don't fix nothing.
But I think he's the best MC! I think those mc's who are selfless and loving to their own detriment are cliche and annoying. Suu is so complex. He loves Sahara, Nadan, and Suryeon but he loves himself the most, and I think that is a very good thing! Yes, Sahara loves him but Sahara is also using him and turning him into a monster. That's terrifying and not okay? Nadan is too complacent with their shitty allotment in life and also hasn't loved Suu back in a long time. No reason to settle for a guy like that. Suryeon loves him but still put his life in danger, broke his ankle, and manipulated him for his political goals. Just because Suu beats himself up for not being loyal to these shitty love interests doesn't mean we should. Suu is making the right choice by wanting to leave and take care of himself. Suu isn't co-dependent. Suu realizes that these relationships are all somewhat manipulative and abusive. Suu deserves to be loved by someone who sees him as his equal and has the same goals and values as him. (He really just wants freedom)! Suu makes mistakes and doesn't have it all figured out but I respect him for trying. Maybe because I'm black, maybe because I'm a feminist, maybe because I'm American but honestly, I am nobody's slave, I don't need no man, and give me liberty or give me death. I would not put up with any of this BS and I'm glad Suu wont either.
That being said, I do still ship him with Suryeon, I love Sahara, and I too hope Nadan isn't dead yet. They are all also great characters. Ideally they'll work it out somehow. I just want people to stop shitting on Suu for being "selfish" when he is making good life choices.
That was a great explanation, suu is way to smart and matured way faster than how kids are supposed to be and all his trauma he gained...that’s what makes him interesting for me..?
How can you save comments?.....
I think Suha is right. Even if they've known each other for a long time and things are going well now, they really only did just start dating. Its not good to rush, especially since this is Suha's first time in a real relationship. Jiwoon is adorable and Suha is totally falling for him, he just needs to let Suha move at a pace that feels comfortable.
this is so overdramatic
Wait, how the hell would you react if someone you like/love gets stabbed? Nonchalant?
Right
Imagine the love of your life getting stabbed. Or your mom, dad, brother, or sister. How would you react?
It is definitely but I think it’s the right storyline for JJK to truly realize what Kim Dan means to him
I think they're talking about the scale of the turn of events. It's telenovela level of drama.
Ohhh, I guess so
the chapter's seems so rushed now compared to back then
Sorry yall, to clarify I don't think the stabbing was a necessary story beat, it doesn't add much to the tension behind the match and I don't feel particularly worried about kim dan actually dying. i also thought the way it occurs is pretty contrived. What a coincidence that the doctor who assaulted kim dan also has debt tied to JJKs extremely evil rival. (I also think the rival is too evil it just feels unrealistic). I think JJK already knew how much kim dan means to him, this is just another obstacle to prolong their confessing to each other and its seems a little over the top. JJK will use his anger as motivation to win the fight but i feel like he could've just won it anyway with his motivation being the belief in himself/letting go of the shame of his past plotline they were building up before which would've been actual character growth.
also of course i would be upset if a person i cared about got stabbed? i personally would not give a fuck about the match at that point
I disagree with JJK already knowing how much Kim Dan means to him i think he’s been learning for the past few months but his understanding of it and love are still very elementary in forming. Bro went from abusing him to not knowing how to treat him and speaking rudely but caring more for him through actions to realizing and being a schoolboy about it but true deep love he is still learning and I do think this accelerates it and cements it so it’s a very necessary plot point. Have you ever seen JJK make a face like that? Prob first time in his life literally. I do think it’s cheesy plot wise but this story was never award winning in unique quality so it matches in terms of quality of writing. And actually I do think his rival being that evil is possible in the real world large sums of money attract evil. Esp compared to the awful things that go on in reality this is a more normal level of evil we have heard of in society
This I agree on I think JJK is only doing it based on Kim Dan’s dying wish for him not to forfeit the match. But if he was a more empathetic person he wouldn’t go through with it but who knows maybe he also really wants revenge as that’s the only way he knows how to care for others is through violence
