So the overall story is great. I don’t understand the ml personality and their relationship. I felt he was characterized in a way that didn’t make a lot of sense esp in relation to the mc. That’s just my opinion tho
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this. I just reread Payback for a second time. I’m noticed their relationship was a little confusing as well as Jay’s personality, like you said, especially towards the end when Yoohan was stabbed and ended up in the hospital. I was definitely not expecting him to react to Yoohan being hospitalized like that.
Yeah! Or, if they had just kept his character more consistent. Jay being upset at Yoohan for letting himself get hurt/not picking up his call and then slicing his wrist felt so out of character and inconsistent what we saw before. Jay’s not a green flag, but he also didn’t give the vibes of someone unstable, so it felt really off.
I like Yoohan a lot too and I like Jay sometimes, when he’s playful and sweet but his inconsistence was a huge drawback.
I thought it made sense tbh. Yoohan could've answered when Jay called while he was bleeding out. He ended up not answering bc he still wanted to die. He had so much guilt bc of his brother, that he didn't want Jay to come save him. Jay's reaction was bc he truly cares for Yoohan. He cut himself using Yoohans hands to show his sadness and anger that Yoohan still wanted to die and to make Yoohan feel guilty for hurting him. Guilt is what drives Yoohan. It felt to me like Jay was trying to use guilt to give Yoohan a reason to live instead of a reason to die. I could be wrong, but thats how I interpreted it.











I don’t really get why this is rated so high. It’s a mostly decent story (a little too convoluted for my tastes) the art is kinda mediocre or just bad in some places. Jinu and his love interest is a good addition to the story but the dog stuff is a little too literal and thus kinda just weird.
