Tbf if I was Kwon I wouldnt believe a single world from that story, I am sorry but it sounds sooo made up I would have a really hard time believing it
Edit: Yo guys, I’m not hating on this guy, but if I had been abandoned by my father as a child, and then he showed up after 30 years saying he didn’t visit me because he was in a coma and only remembered my mother after watching a Korean drama I wouldn’t believe him, lol. Like, I know it’s true because I’m the reader, but if I were Kwon, there’s no way I’d believe him I just wouldnt.
Slowburn so slow I am not sure if the owen is even on
I am begging the author to not make it a love triangle with that loan shark, I like him a lot but as a brother figure like he meet the mc when he was 14 I cant look past that please make their relationship strictly platonic and nothing more

I swear I cant read Ho’s name normal lol that ”Ho are you proud of me?" Sound like something I could send my best friend Ho is it reall?
LIKE HOE
SAMEEEE, LIKE CALL HIM OTHER NAME OR SMTH
REALLLL sometimes I beg that he just says his American name BUT NOO ITS HO ╥﹏╥
I’m glad I’m not the only one bc I can’t stop thinking of hoe whenever I see ho and it messes with me sometimes especially during like spicy scenes
Can anyone tell me if its truth that schools in Korea really xare so much about their students personal life? can they really get in trouble for doing something outside of school? like I am from Poland and like 90% of teenagers starts drinking alcohol at the age of 14 and going to clubs and all of that shit while underage and I cant imagine my school giving a fuck about all that like they fr couldnt care less
Polska gurom (pierwszy raz widzę tutaj kogoś z polski, pozrawiam cieplutka)
I'm asian and yes if you're still in school it's not good to go to pub or any places with alcohol or drugs since if you get caught or photographed your school could get violation and bad reputation
they really don't care much unless you're wearing your uniform
If you're popular then no especially with someone backing you up like your parents are good citizens maybe
i think it’s asian thingy. my friend’s appeared in magazine as model but it became an issue bc she wore slightly revealing clothes. but it was just skirt though… idk why she even got summoned to teacher’s room.
I'm from south asia and my teachers once called me to principal office because I posted a story of me seating in the teachers lounge. It is prohibited for students but no-one obeys that. Apparently it damaged our school's reputation or smth
Setting Joo aside, is anyone also bothered by Dan’s lack of any personality? Like we are 80
chapters in and I know Dans backstory that he takes care of his grandma but those things arent really characters traits, I would have a really hard time trying to describe Kim Dan, because really the only thing that comes to my mind when I think about him is that he is a sad person and that’s everything I am able to say about Kim Dan
Like its not that I hate Dan, but I cant say that I like him either, I feel sorry for him but he is too plain for me to like him, Joo is an awful character but he has enough personality for me to say that I hate him, on the other hand Dan is just there, like he is the main character but he blends with the background
Those work related stuff are translated from korean to english and then I have to translate it from english to my native language its hurting my brain so bad I don’t understand 60% of their conversations about work
I think u can kinda just take it as irrelevant info (Idk if I even read it the first time around) but basically hes doing all the grunt work for some political party and has to deal with pointless meetings, interviews, and marketing stuff and nothing is going very well
Thank you <3
Honestly, like personally speaking, I would say it isn’t irrelevant in the slightest. Maybe I’m in too deep into the political shit that goes on in South Korea, but it’s an honest depiction of political corruption and gentrification that affects low-income neighborhoods. It reflects in their characters these opposing sides and why they make these specific decisions. I thought this was going to be blatant poverty porn, but it’s fleshed out, and they don’t portray the BL as this submissive, in-need young man because he’s not. People in poverty aren’t like that and I wish BL’s would stop depicting it that way. Sorry for the rant
Now I wish I could understand all of those stuff Imma keep working on my english ;(
basically the suits guy is having issues with getting the redevelopment started. there's only one piece of land left to get, for them to start, and that land is owned by boxer guy. until boxer guy doesnt sell, suits guy is stuck there, having to deal with all the problems in the community since i guess he is the head of the political party's office there in that district.
so far his problems are
- boxer guy not selling so redevelopment not starting
- business owners angry because redevelopment not starting
- nearby construction going on for road expansion (i guess this is also part of the redevelopment) and that is making a lot of noise so people in some building are complaining
- some middle school wants to interview him (I guess this is not a problem really but it is boring for him)
- he has to attend local meetings with various associations etc which is also boring i guess
and his main problem:
until redevelopment starts, he cant go back to his boss (that lady) and instead another advisor guy is taking his position. so he's also afraid that him being here means he'll lose his position
hope this helps!
yea ive been seeing people commenting on how real it is wrt situation in s. korea! and i agree this one is refreshing to see wrt the power dynamics.
It does help a lot! Thank you
Their argument from chapter 39 really reminds me of that meme from twitter
”Twitter the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.
You can say "I like pancakes" and somebody will say "So you hate waffles?"
No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.”
