5 or 6 years ago I read something. Since a lot of time has passed, I only remember a scene and one panel. It was set in the Joseon era, in old Korea. There were rumors in a village that men in a house were having sexual relationships with each other. If I remember correctly, there was someone said to be having relations with men who came to his house the mc while coming from somewhere or on his way back, accidentally sees this, and probably sees the back of the man who is likely the owner of the house during the act. On his back there was a zigzag lightning-like scar. His hair was a yellow shade close to mustard.
I feel like, from this point on, we're going to watch both characters slowly fall apart. Instead of a love story, it feels like their relationship is becoming increasingly toxic. Professor Han's intellectual and authoritarian hold over Han Garam seems like it's either going to reach its breaking point or lead to something else entirely. Right now, the story gives me a sense of control, dependency, and emotional manipulation rather than romance.
So real I feel like we still have a long way to go until the romantic aspect can actually happen
