It's Joo Jaekyung's house! They also have the same eyebrows. It's his brother, I tell ya lololol
Dan's love for JK came out of left field. I get that JK visited his grandmother and paid for her treatments, and that definitely creates feelings of gratitude, but JK still hasn't improved his treatment of him and has even gotten worse because of dieting and his shoulder. So Dan going from feeling genuine fear to falling in love, makes him feel more like a writer's prop than a character to me, especially since he's almost 30 years old. Maybe that's what creates the lack of chemistry between the main couple and the reader's difficulty to relate to Dan . If the ML is going to be cruel the bottom should be resilient, and I don't mean bratty, just more pragmatic. That's what creates chemistry. Anyway, it's a fun and enjoyable manhwa, don't get me wrong, with great art and plot, but definitely, at least for now, inferior to BJ Alex.
What is fun and enjoyable about this manhwa ? To me this is plain psychological torture. (So yeah i stopped reading!) _ i just don't get how this type of story is fun and interesting ? How is this enjoyable ? Probably for masochistic and saddistic people ? ?
I agree. Dan's love for jk feels so forced, it happened out of nowhere. I don't understand what the author's trying to do with those two
I don’t think the love is forced, but it’s definitely toxic. I think Dan started to fall for JK because he would do something out of character right after being mean to Dan. It’s just manipulative. Dan thinks that he is special to him in those rare moments where JK is kind to him. I carry on reading even tho it’s annoying because same author did this in Bj Alex too. The angst, revenge and regret is portrayed so well there. Also the character development is written so good. So im expecting the same from this manhwa.
I am wondering, maybe it is fun to see Dan whoring himself when he does not have the personnality for it ?? He is such a white goose, so naïve and '' so pure '' yet he is becoming someone's bitch so is that ironically comedic or something ?
Thank you for your explanation of why someone would like BJ Alex. I personnally really liked Painter of the Night for the same type of reason probably. (As well as My Suha side story) i liked that the outcome is different according to the personnality of both characters.
HELPLESSNESS ! That's the word i was looking for. That's what i don't like to feel . That's why this story is torture to me. And i would despise, and truly hate anyone who would make me feel helpless IRL _
This. I'm reading this for Jk's regretting-everything-part, the author did a very good job in writing that part of the story for Bj Alex so I'm hoping the same for Jinx too.
Yesss we have to trust the process yall that’s it
The "make the bully jealous" trope is just so uncreative that I just uuhh... Like, seriously?
And Kyon wanted to buy Lucaon a present even though the later acted like a major pimp to him just the other day? Wtf? Is Kyon a robot or something? Uh.. I want to drop this manhwa but the art is so beautiful I keep coming back. Damn it!
Yup! I said it! I ship them 100%. Just imagine all the main couple's scenes rewritten with Karis in Kyon's place. Now, that'd be hoOOot!! Ahh... I demand a doujin... paahhleeeze^^^^
(Kyon is an "always & without fail" horny prop but Karis.. woooh honey! he would give Lucaon a run for his money)
haha they won’t fit with each other if Lucaon treats Karis the same way he treats Kyon he would have hit him and ran away , plus that tsundre personality of karis matches so much with Sihan playful character ^^
Come on, Karis is a big protective softy deep down :P :P Also, lets not forget the legacy left by Ai no Kusabi! Strong semes need strong ukes to make the abuse look sexy. A dynamic like in Okane ga nai (in this case it's even worse) is just sad and can only be saved by this "lack of comprehensible emotional follow up" trope. Ejaculating while being scared $hitless he will fall of the balcony?!? Please... Lets hope Kyon's character gets a better writing later on.
Just because Kyon is not as strong as Karis doesn't mean his character is bad writing....some people really need to get that and stop pushing their own thoughts onto the characters.
I don't know if it's my place to jump in but...
People can get aroused from stress hormones when doing something that isn't routine. This is just a shorter version of an article on the matter. Fear and arousal aren't the same, but brain is mysterious~
My apologies if I'm wrong how it works, I more or less skimmed that part.
I think the Redeption Arc is going to be extremely unsatisfying or anticlimactic at best.
I mean, Dan and the fandom are on two completely different pages --or books even. Dan doesn't see anything wrong with Jaekyung as a person to begin with. He admires and loves him. From Dan's point of view the only problem in the relationship is that JK doesn't like him back. Only the fandom keeps tabs on JK evil behavior. So, I'm afraid it's Dan that's gonna try and prove himself to JK to earn back his trust, and not the other way around. After enough sacrificing JK will think that Dan is someone worthy of trust and that's how they're going to officially start dating in the end.
That’s what I’ve been sayiiiing !!! JK won’t have to do much, or to even reflect on his behaviors because Dan is already in love and is already excusing his shitty behaviors. So all he’ll have to do is to give the bare minimum and it will be enough for Dan.
(Just speculation but...) I personally think it's gonna go a different direction. I think after Dan's grandma inevitably passes he's gonna want to disappear because that's the whole reason he took the job and Jk is gonna have to go looking for him. Bcz if you remember that's what sort of happened in BJ Alex. I feel the Author will drag out the separation more this time around to really drive us nuts
That's what I used to think until Dan dedicated an entire month working his butt off, just so that he can buy a gift for Jaekyung. Meanwhile, Dan didn't visit his terminally ill grandmother even once during that month. He said so himself. Maybe it's bad/inconsistent character writing or Dan's simply more obsessed with JK than anxious about his grandma.
