My boy why, why did you have to say it?! I know it was all due to the mood but damn! Our hot walking-dick is going to be cold and distant just watch!
Why is everyone saying the ml is autistic? I know he acts Iile a robot but where in the story did it say he was ?
How dare they stop right there!!!! I can’t wait for my babies to truly and openly love each other!!!!! ╥﹏╥ ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I llove how lovey dovey they look. However, so many questions and things were too fast- like
Why didn’t Jaejyung get his name cleared that Jumin cheated the first time around?
Where’s that long reflection between Dan and him that lead to the rings?
From the stabbing to now way too fast. Don’t get me wrong, I love the story, but let’s be honest BJ Alex is more complete than this. I feel Minwa loat her inspiration and had to finish it like this. Still I’m hoping for side stories, Potato and Heesung, and more background on these two. I’ll forever be in love with Jaekyung!
Mingwa herself said that she loves to create unlikeable characters so she can build them up to then be good, likeable people, but because it's ending within the next chapters, JKs arc is gonna fall flat, and he doesn't have that character development that will balance out his mean past. He hasn't gone through that self destructive phase that would have created a foundation which in turn would have allowed him to start rebuilding himself back up into a "better person" removed from that "hurt/misunderstood person" (what I think Mingwa was going for) that he was before.
Yes you can think over and rue the bad person you once were, but in order to start to become the better/healed person you want to be, you have to feel the full force of all the actions you have done to either hurt or misplace the emotions of others around you. But I don't feel Mingwa has really written about it in a way that makes you understand what he has gone through and feel the changes he has made to start treating other better. All he did was say "oh shit, my bad choices and disrespectful behaviour has pushed away someone I realised I kinda care about, lemme cry about it real quick and then I'll go get him back."
Yes you see him haggard, and physically strung out after he makes a 7 panel realisation of how much he cares about Kim Dan, but it's very shallow, and lacks a lot of the emotional complexity there is when you realise how much you have mentally and emotionally destroyed someone you have come to deeply care for. However, I do have to check myself because JK isn't a very emotional person outside the range of anger, so crying was a bit of a milestone for him, I'll give him that. But the reason that reaction falls flat is because there wasn't a lot of emotional build up beforehand, it just kind of happened, and it happened because Kim Dan got stabbed. So then JK got the clichè "you almost died and that made me realise how much I love you" crutch so he didn't have to do any emotional work himself to get to that conclusion. He need some (A LOT) of help.
I didn't need any of this to tell me that Jinx is a bad manhwa, but I did try to give it the benefit of the doubt after Mingwa said she liked that build up of bad boy turned loving boyfriend, but she put in so much effort making JK look so unredeemable (probably so that if she could pull off a good character arc she could say told you so), that all her energy was spent and she couldn't find the steam to push for a good rounded character arc. JK is the most thought out character in the series (Kim Dan is a cliche figure, there are so many like him he can't be considered a well thought out character) but even though he could be saved, I don't think Mingwa could be the one to give us a good terrible person turned empathetic human being, I think it can be done, just not by a strung out Mingwa (you can kinda tell she probably wants this over and done with how quick the ending is).
Goodbye Jinx, you will most likely be forgotten within 5 years, but everything has a shelf life, and yours just happens to quicker, in fact it expire quite a while ago.
Ps. I'm not against reading any other manhwas Mingwa realises in the future, we'll call Jinx a learning curve lol

Well, actually…I’m not disappointed with this chapter. I kind of wanted to see Jeumin Baek more humiliated though and the results also of him messing with Jaekyung’s first fight, but this chapter was good. Yeah, I wanted to cry, but I think both need this time apart. Jaekyung needs to repent alone and Dan doesn’t trust Jaekyung loves him yet. I’m actually okay with this out one for now.
Wouldn’t it be an awesome moment if Dan flat lines for a bit and scare the shit out of Jaekyung?!
And just watch, since we liked how it ended, we our luck we’ll be waiting until the 22nd because it’ll probably go into a hiatus and I’m going to lose my shit if this artist also follows an amnesia trope even though it the stab has nothing to do with that since everyone’s going heavy on that trope.
