i finished it~ sans the side stories because i'm not putting myself through that. there's a suspiciously daewoo-shaped elephant between the 7/10 this story is and the 10/10 it could've been. it's really bordering on a 6/10 because daewoo is such a deterrent to this story, and his involvement in the plot that suddenly got switched up to dole out the blame to other parties and shift focus off of him holds it back by so much it isn't even funny. there are genuinely one too many scenes wasted on him because the author desperately wants you to forgive him for something they never had to make him do in the first place if they weren't going to commit to him suffering any consequences for it. and that's really the worst part about it for me: nothing happens to him at all for the amount of problems he caused and he gets everything he wants in spite of it all. it's almost comical. it's upsetting because beneath this really ugly sheen, the story is more than serviceable, but the commitment to making sure that nothing happens to daewoo fills me with a sense of foreboding for the author's future works the main couple is sooo lovely, idk why they couldn't just focus on them alone lmao.

i'm only a little over halfway through and i've been mostly loving it thus far but i'm blown by the author trying to brush off the rape by being like "lol well joon was an incubus!" like that makes it okay ? even arguing that they're demons doesn't hold up because they still have morals, which was clearly shown by joon being enraged at finding out daewoo's been killing people... it just makes no sense at all and it makes for inconsistent characterization just for the sake of salvaging this piece of shit character. really dropped the rating for this story down an entire letter grade with that alone. what a joke seriously. i will never understand this fixation some authors have with redeeming rapists in these stories, it adds nothing of value and this story definitely didn't need this kind of conflict when there's plenty of turmoil already.

uyun being powered by overwhelming love and horniness to stand up to his beloved's abusive father even though he's scared, romance isn't dead you guys

i really wish i liked this more, but it's hard when it's this obvious that the author likes taebum so much more than they do hoyeon next to taebum, hoyeon really lacks any real or distinct personality outside of the ego he's built up around the kind of sex he likes to have. chapters that could have been spent developing hoyeon's character and feelings towards taebum were instead spent on taebum getting toyed with or whatever, and i'm definitely not against reading stories where it's clear the author just wants to draw the couple having a lot of sex, but if you're going to include some plot in it, you should care about developing both leads to a somewhat equal amount.

even now with the end of the 1st season, i am honestly still not sure what taebum likes so much about hoyeon because he did not treat him well and at best he was just a pretty and nice guy back when he was a high schooler. it's also unclear what hoyeon really likes about taebum and what made him change his mind about him beyond "i shouldn't push him away and treat him like this because he likes me." as the audience, we find taebum very lovable, but we only see hoyeon's apprehension towards him most of the time, and we don't really see when or even if he'll change his mind about him. he just decides to stop stringing him along and chooses to treat him better almost on a whim. and seeing the ex pop back up to inevitably cause artificial drama between them when they still aren't exactly together yet is not inspiring feelings of confidence in me that this will get better, but i'll wait and see i guess

they are so so so cute and sweet ugh imagine if they had grown up together and weren't separated, i'm devastated for the both of them already

i've simply got to understand what made jinpil become this delusional. you're not born thinking this way but were even his parents this batshit insane? yeah he was sexy back then but those days are over so aside from some money (not even the most money, mind you), what does he have now for him to think his opinions on anything are of value over someone else's? people like him are truly a blight on society and destroy everything they touch. so happy jinhyeong told him to get circumcised lmfao

i can't think of even one chapter where they are on screen together and not fighting in at least one panel, literally how did they manage to fall in love with each other like this

tears in my eyes they are so fucking cute i'm gonna kill myself .

heartbroken this wasn't longer, this was so wonderful hoping for some side stories eventually! it happened for killer crush so it could surely happen for this one too .... surely ......

muyeol genuinely needs to be killed and i am dead serious. i've truly had enough of this now. why does this fucker still draw breath and take up space in any of these panels, it's such a fucking waste.
