I really like this kind of drawing. I'd like to read more stories with this style (I just have "Your Way" in mind).
I first came across this manhwa on another site where it went by the title "Doppelgänger"(a german word meaning a person's ghostly double or lookalike). A name that fits so much better than "Kill Me If You Can". That word just always makes me think of the video series "The Mandela Catalogue".
Does anyone know where the extract in the begging of the chapter 1 come form ( where" experienced cleaner" is marked).
What do you mean, "I understand if you don't support gay relationships"? Bro, that is clearly not ok to not support, In my pov if you don't support them, it means you're homophobic. So, even if you're afraid of rejection, I still find it very strange to say that. If you have the courage to say it, you also need the courage to stand up for it; being gay and owning it remains a deeply political act. It’s infuriating to see this character back down so much.
Come on now, it's not just about being afraid of rejection. Coming out can be dangerous and in the worst cases, even life threatening. Those guys are twice Jiwon's size. He was word vomiting while trying to diffuse a potentially unsafe situation. (Yeah, his friends didn't seem like the type to become violent, but unfortunately, it's still far too common in our world for violence to happen to people in the LGBT community.) Let's not forget, Jiwon has a history with (and trauma because of) physical assault as well.
I don't actually think he was legitimately saying he's okay with homophobia.
That said, I do wish the author has chosen the words he said there differently/with a little more social awareness.
Of course, I took a shortcut by simply saying "afraid of rejection" because I'm well aware it's much more complex than that. I'm obviously aware of the violence and even sometimes the oppression that people in the LGBT+ community experience (I'm part of it myself), and that in some countries it's even illegal.
In the character's situation, they can't just blurt it out without really thinking about the potential reactions. There needs to be time for analysis to understand how these people, and yourself, would react, because if you're not prepared to hear an unpleasant response, you simply shouldn't say it. So, taking a step by announcing it is all well and good, but you have to know when to stand by your position.
And I agree, the author didn't choose the right words, it leaves me very perplexed.
It annoys me—why does jealousy always have to be something that gets glorified?
It's not really a bad thing to get jealous we are human after all. What's bad it toxic jealousy
Just because it's human doesn't mean it's a good thing...
For me, being jealous stems from a lack of self-trust and a lack of trust in the other person, and therefore a lack of trust in the relationship itself, and trust is the foundation of your relationship.
The fact that jealousy is never questioned is a problem. And the fact that it's always presented as something positive it's a problem.
I don't understand how you can be jealous in a healthy relationship.
I wanted to start this story because I saw a screenshot of Yang Eun-gi filming himself. I don't know why, but I like stories or characters in adult films, and this one is quite exceptional since there are no twinks. But their relationship is bizarre and unhealthy. I'm tired of romanticizing this kind of relationship, of trivializing certain actions by not naming them and sweeping them under the rug. Seong Ki-chan is certainly not a good person, but neither is Yang Eun-gi. The rape scene, which is written as if it weren't rape because there's a "positive" physical reaction, is very disturbing to watch. I'm not a man, but to me, it's the same as telling a woman who's been raped that she enjoyed it because she got wet. Despite everything I've said, I will continue reading because I am intrigued even though I don't know how the characters could have an interesting evolution turned in a positive direction.
