That “sunbae” just wants to ruin Hoyeon because of how innocent and pure he was that’s why he gave off that rapist expression and was willing to put on that act for as long as he can if it meant he was able to “defile” Hoyeon. And from the looks of how the current Hoyeon acts (hostile and cynical), we can assume he succeeded in some ways. I need him to burn.
I’ve marinated it because people were crashing out with how season 1 ended but now I that I’ve read it I really don’t understand how the author just brushed off the rape as if it was nothing?? I feel like there wasn’t enough impact and consequences for it and the author quickly just wanted to do damage control/patch things up because of the backlash from readers with the whole sequence because everything feels too fucking rushed.
istg this is so true. I personally treated the rape as a bad dream because of how shitty it was for the plot. everything feels rushed cause it is. I say just ignore the rape and enjoy the rest of the ride even though that fuckass chapter left the worst fucking after taste a meal can give you :/// Korean readers really liked the secretary dude as far as I know and there wasn't any backlash from their side (at least not as much as the english speaking community). They actually were rooting for him more than ML...
don't even reread I promise you you're so much better off...
but if you want to suffer like the rest of us it's chapter 31... it even has a trigger warning literally at the beginning about depiction of trauma so be warned I guess... It's not bad if you just take out that one single chapter it's just the whole flow was ruined because of that chapter, at least for me personally
I’m sorry but no matter how the author tried to angstify the plot everything just feels so unnecessary and forced. Like I usually can empathize with characters who make dumb or redundant decisions because of their conflict but the author’s execution is so bad it’s not giving the impact that they’re trying to achieve. It just feels so dramatic for no reason. A conflict that didn’t need to be there but is just there for the sake of it.











Damn the artist keeps improving their art with every releasing chapter. Dane looks ridiculously handsome in this chapter and his expressions make him even more sexy!
PREACH !
