He's going to leave Taejeong for me, so serious like I would NEVA leave Eunsung feeling needy, angry, frustrated. Pure bliss, they will break up and Eunsung will come with a real playa. Buy a house? Nah I BUILT a house for Eunsung, brick by brick. I'll be damned if I let some wimp like the 2 pump chump Taejeong anywhere near my omega-kase.
My aura will send ghost on there way and away from Eungsung because I will protect him and communicate with him, unlike Taejeong. I'm going to take his bitch and have stronger aura than him. Furthermore my strap is bigger than his, poor Eunsung been stuck with losers .
I see why everybody want him I do too, let me have him brotato
You know it's bad when the keyboard warriors are in the comments pulling it the classic “you just don't get it because you just don't understand his character”. Be so fr its ass, admit it. I remember when this was coming out, and sure the art is good but everything else is not. You can make complex characters, fucked up ppl, and hell even rape in these but the way this story pushes it as though it is justifiable. The terrible things that do happen don't really push the story along and just feel as though they are put there because they need to fill more space. No one is saying that you can't feel bad for him because his backstory is “sad” however the author is pushing it as though it should justify his actions when it's not. There's a difference between “flawed characters” and just had writing. Unfortunately in this case it's just bad writing.
Justify how? The author is just showing us the back story? You can understand why someone ended up the way the ML did and at the same time still think his actions are wrong. Understanding is not justifying. If there's no true remorse, healing, and proper resolution when the story goes back to the present THEN you can complain about the author justifying his actions
This is interesting but it's inconsistent. The character's motives and values change consistently and so do their actions, particularly with the the ml. It's hard to try and figure out what's going on, especially in the first 30 chapters the ML is weird and the MC is an idiot. The story struggles with the “show don't tell” concept, it tells us what a character thinks rather than showing. The MC should pick a different career and takes the ML’s actions as being an asshole when really the MC should've never passed the law exam. He wants to keep up moral high ground but won't be able to defend a client who he doesn't have the same views as. It's clear the career isn't for him and the narrative pushes it as though he is a good lawyer when he just isn't. This could be good but its writing is too distracting to focus on where it can be good.
I'm sorry, but I think you are misunderstanding a lot of aspects of this manhwa. I do agree the manhwa sometimes may feel a bit rushed, that's because it obviously cannot show everything the novel has. Even so, your review seems a bit one dimensional. The MC isn't incompetent as a lawyer, simply his priorities are not commercial/business law, whereas the ML specializes in business law and mergers.
The ML has questionable means to collect data, which the MC hates at first, but later tries to 'think' like the ML in order to stay in the farm, because he has to. Otherwise he will be in danger because of his brother-in-law. And even though at first, that's what ML wanted, later he really wants the MC to retain his idealistic view of the world and law, because that's just who the MC is, and that's who the ML loves.
I know everything comes down to personal preference, and I don't usually write such comments, it's just I really liked the novel. It was so well written , plot driven and a true novel. Not some smutty bl drama. So that's what I think. I hope you can read the novel in future and come to like it as well!
I agree with what OP above has said and what I'll personally recommend is to read the novel! The manhwa doesn't always translate well, in the novel things are more detailed and has more narration. Yoonshin does change or adapt his strats in regards to being a lawyer even if he doesn't agree to it. In the future, even Seheon notices this and says that he wants him to maintain that idealistic view coz he balances/grounds him
First off the debate over her body proportions is long dry. Her body proportions are bad, but I believe that distracts some if us from the fact her character is worse than her proportions. Honestly, this could've ended after 20 chapters. Every chapter feels like filler for a climax but the only climax is during smut scenes. There's no build-up or plot, and no character development. It's clear the author wants to have smut here and there with plot but that only works if you're actually moving the story along. The smut is good if you want to draw smut of weirdly proportion women and hot guys do that but there's only so much smut you can put before it gets boring. The fl and ml are bland and redundant the only saving grace is the ml’s pretty face.
This!! People hyped this manhwa all over my FYPs so I went ahead and finally gave it a read and I still don't undestand why it's as popular as it is. The plot.. is so weak. Even worse, it feels like the author tried to fix it by making the ML apart of some twisted rich family which lowkey, didn't save it for me. It feels as if I'm reading a wattpad mafia story from 2018 where the writer is using every cliche of that era. It tries too hard to be pwp but honestly.. it would've been better if it was just one or the other. I'm only sticking around for the revenge of the ex, I wont sleep easy until I know he's been tossed and thrown like the garbage he is. Then again, he's the only interesting thing about this story.
Her “friends” are not her friends bro they are fucking opps. Who tells their friend that if they don't have sex their partner will cheat and even worse that btc with overgrown roots and uneven bob w shitty layers is a weirdo who the hell talks abt some guys dick like that???? And Mc just letting them like ho are you nuts??! That's your childhood “friend” they are talking about. The smut is good but there's too much plot to ignore how bad the writing is . This is so ass











SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!
The start of this was really nice, and I liked how they communicated well. The problem is that by chapter 70, I'm not really rooting for them to get together or grow. At the end of the story, I am not happy or satisfied with the conclusion. It's honestly frustrating.
Maybe it's because of personal preference, but I hate stories where one party has to make the other party like them. It's annoying because if it were a genuine relationship, or if not, the parties mutually wanted to be together, it would work. In this, however, that's not the case.
I don't think Si-eon is an asshole or immature; he's quite the opposite. He communicated well, was patient, and he made it very clear that he doesn't like Namwoo like that. Namwoon started wanting more and wasn't satisfied with the relationship when he realised that Si-eon wasn't going to force it or lie to him; they broke up. When Si-eon explained that this happening was common for him and that Namwoo isn't much different from his exes. Now Namwoo is desperate to keep up the appearance that he is different from them.
Namwoo’s naivety is apparent and leads him to do some pretty embarrassing things. He is young, so it's okay. I just wish that the story followed its own advice and Namwooj found someone who truly liked him, where he didn't need to feel the insecurity that he felt with Si-eon. Towards the end, he is even trying to find reasons as to why someone would like him, and it's sad but understandable. In the moment he feels comforted by Si-eon, but in the long run, he almost realises that he can find better.
This story isn’t bad per se, but seeing how Si-eon is as a character and Namwoo as well, their relationship overall and dynamic don't work out. I live for a good yearning story, and that is maybe what the author is trying to convey, but it just doesn't come off that way. It just seems like I'm reading about a guy who is trying to make a relationship work when it doesn't. They just don't seem right for eachother.
To clarify, I did not hate this! I really enjoyed the writing and the way the author depicted some topics. The problem is, I like the MC’s and characters, just not as a couple!
I also want to clarify, I DID NOT HATE THIS!!! It was objectively very well written. I loved the way the author depicted some topics, and I would read some of their other works as well. I just don't think that Si-eon and Namwoon are a couple by the end that I could say “Im so happy they worked it out,” instead, all I thought was “At least he's running those pockets.” Namwoo is young nd naive, and it shows. His naivety leads him to pester the relationship into happening instead of naturally letting it fall into place or finding someone who would like him for him. After reading, I realised that he was just desperate for love: his parents didn't like him, and he hadn't dated anyone to prove in his mind that he is a likable person. It's relatable and realistic. I just feel bad that he ended up with Si-eon, someone who clearly struggles with forming and upholding lasting attachments. That's a him problem, not something Namwoo can fix. The story does talk about this, but instead of following its own advice, it goes ahead and has Si-eon and Namwoo stay together.
TLDR; I like them as characters, just not as a couple
Exactly this!!! I'm not done with the story yet, but the lack of self respect Namwoo has for himself sometimes gets quite annoying in the story! He is young yes, but I especially dislike the part where he kept mentioning how he was different from Si-eon's exes and came off as extremely desperate. It just makes my heart really cringe seeing how he keeps chasing Si-eon in the parts of the story where he clearly cannot give him the love he wanted.. But oh well!!!
It's definitely unfortunate because Namwoo was no different. Si-eon has a type, but not the emotional capacity to go beyond a surface-level relationship. Namwoo wants more, but settles for Si-eon in the end, which really sucks because there is the college friend who admits he liked Namwoo, and I honestly think they could've worked out. The story says that they wouldn't, but everything I have seen of them, they would've done fine if not better. I think the author realised towards the end that they weren't that great together, and instead of deviating and giving them an appropriate ending, the relationship is forced. It just felt like it was shutting down other possibilities so that they could work.
This comment makes me feel sad for the mc, damn he should have left and find himself a better man. It sucks…
Honestly, I feel like that's where it was going to go, but then it did a whole shift where Namwoo goes out of his way and comfort zone to make Si-eon like him.
So at the end sieon didn’t reciprocate the love?
He did, but it felt disconnected from the story and his character overall. His feelings for Namwoo were only ever superficial
