Those who read the novels, idk what you guys are talking about when you say “not believable” like, wdym, their relationship? character development? love? Because expecting for a lovey dovey ending for this type of manhwa is kinda delulu. There’s no character development in the novels. What character development are you expecting from a psychopath? Ilay doesn’t change, he and Tay will just reach a compromise. And yes, they will fall in love, Tay will even confess. BUT their definition of love is questionable bc… do i even have to explain? Trust will build where Tay will have freedom, but he still has to call Ilay to tell him where he is. They will choose to stay and live together and settle for a relationship like that. This manhwa is fueled with rape, red flags, toxic relationships, psychopaths, sexual abuse, etc. ofc the ending will never be satisfying bc how do you convince people that Ilay and Taeui do love each other when their past is full of just rape and abuse? I’ll settle on just calling it Stockholm Syndrome. It doesn’t seem like a happy ending for sure, but that’s the happy ending that the characters will get bc Ilay cant let go of Tay while Tay doesn’t regret it and would still walk beside Ilay.
Then read it and find out yourself
If you dont want them to end up together, stop reading this manhwa NOW. This is just how their relationship is going to be and they will compromise soon enough. They’ll still end up together and no one will die.
SPOILERS:
In the novels, Tay accepted that he cant change Ilay, but still chose to stay with him. It’s not a healthy relationship, but they both compromised with each other’s life and values bc Ilay cant let go of Tay and Tay has already fallen too deep to pull out.
There’s no redeeming Ilay’s past actions, I’m just gonna say that there’s going to be improvement in how he treats Tay, believe it or not. He’ll be more protective and affectionate towards Tay, it’s almost like a completely different Ilay lmfao. There’s a significant turning point for Ilay in the novels too that I remember vaguely. He’ll experience nightmares about accidentally killing Tay, which leads him to becoming more gentle. He even hires a mercenary to kill him in case Tay dies before him. Ilay even declared that if Tay dies, Ilay will die too.
Oh and Tay is gonna be fine. He’ll soon adjust to this lifestyle with Ilay after they compromise and they’ll live together for a very long time. Tay even falls in love with Ilay and confesses, but it took years for this feelings to bloom in the novel. Tay himself said that he doesn’t regret it too and would continue to walk with Ilay in that dangerous path even if it is painful.
Ikr no one gets itt. This is how it's gonna be
They haven't seen/read Richard and Christopher. I was like Christopher baby that is not love. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
right? They can just drop this manhwa and forget about it idk why they’re reacting as if this is Ilay’s first time doing this to Taeui
i feel like it shouldn’t have ended yet is it just me or it felt too abrupt? Also, Caesar’s character didn’t have to go downhill like that, it shouldn’t surprise me, but I was still shocked at CH 40 and beyond bc it was going so well!! I liked him!! Why did the author have to do him dirty like that? what a waste bc I love Lee Won!!!
Oh Taeui, there’s no preparing for what’s about to happen to him my condolences in advance!!
ohmygod YEEEEES LETSGOOOOO! GIVE ME MORE PLOOOT! THE LONGER THE BETTER!!
“Although I would like to tear him apart, the moment I do, I’ll never see him again.” THAT’S GAY! GAY GAY HOMOSEXUAL GAY!
THE SMUT SCENES ARE TOP TIER FOR SUUURE!! And i love the plot so much!!
To those worried if Hyunjae will get mad, worry not. After this, Hyunjae would express how he feels inclined to use less-than-pleasant methods to get Yoojin to talk more about what he just said, but then later says that he cares deeply for Yoojin so he wont do that. Yoojin’s like “and your definition of ‘caring’ is you thinking i belong to you, right?” xD
Then they’ll have this insane moment:
(HJ smiles at YJ)
YJ: “Don’t smile. It might make me fond of you.”
HJ: “Haven’t you already grown quite fond of me?”
YJ: “Not in the slightest.”
HJ: “I have, though.” (okay homotron1000)
Then another cute moment after that is Yoojin buying Hyunjae a tiramisu cake with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to him. I’m not kidding when I say, Yoojin’s the only one singing here and he gets embarrassed. YJ will ask HJ to make a wish and before HJ blows the candle, he will glance at YJ for a moment.
Not long after, HJ and YJ will decide to be partners. They’ll have a moment where HJ will hand over his phone to YJ to let him change his contact name. YJ sees that he was labeled as “Item” so he changes it to “Partner”. When he handed it to HJ, this guy added “My” into YJ’s name, so YJ’s contact name in HJ’s phone becomes “My Partner” alsdjxhdkfhdk
This is in the novel. I hope they wont change in the manhwa bc they’re so cute!

all of them are not all right in the head, is the right conclusion here xD
Do yall get it now? Taeui doesnt need rescuing, he is exactly where he wants to be, they are both fucked in the head and nothing’s gonna change that
