I became so sensitive after reading lots of BL manhwa so before reading this I just want to know. Can anyone please answer me, are they each other's first in everything including kiss and all. Is it explicitly mentioned anywhere?? I have seen this manhwa recommended everywhere but I just want to know before reading if they are each other's first in everything, even kissing.
Yupp everything’s first with them
Sorry I read the story overnight as I was excited, I might have missed it but what about Taesung's ex-girlfriend?? He didn't do anything with her?? Why did he even date her when he liked Haebom? It didn't give much of MLs POV as to why he dated someone when he liked MC and how he perceived that dating phase. There's no clear pacing as to what thought process went through his head with regards to Haebom during that time
I really don't want to go through the story to find exactly what they talked as I pulled an all nighter and desperately need sleep. So if you'd be kind enough to give me my peace
They dont really explain but im like 95% sure taesung did not do like anything at all with his ex gf, they themselves dont do anything until later on in the series and it was new to both of them, im sure it was just a taesung was being too nice, or he liked her as a friend and was confused, perhaps to try and get over haebom. Not too sure and i dont think it comes up again
Yeah it doesn't come up again. That's one weak point in the story. I mean if we are going to get 4 to 5 chapters of the ex girlfriend fiasco, atleast we should get the POV of the main party involved in it but it's just glossed over.... Like it's just added for a dramatic plotline rather than to show what Taesung's past or how he felt.
so let me summarise
inseo has these intense feelings towards his friend which he himself describes as dirty and possessive in his own words. he is afraid that if Hyuk knows these feelings then their long held bond would break. he also assumes that there won't be any form of romantic relationship between them
so in order to distract himself from this feeling, he starts physical relationship with others. it is mentioned that he is an hedonist.
now why this is not considered true love is, first of all if he is truly in love with Hyuk he should not be able to get turned on by others but he had the mental and physical capacity to be attracted by so many other people.
If he really felt hollow then he shouldn't have enjoyed his physical connections with other but he is an hedonist. an hedonist is someone who thinks that worldly pleasures are the peak form of life. which means he literally enjoyed his physical connection with others though there was nothing emotional. It's contradictory to his claims and confession.
this means he didn't truly love hyuk like he claims, just had some form of desire towards him, a fragmented feeling as he enjoyed himself with others by redirecting this desire onto others.
But also felt jealous that others approach hyuk to date and feeling relieved that hyuk isn't dating while he himself dates others. he wanted Hyuk to remain single while he didn't hold himself up for that life.
Even if he is moving on then he is still an ass to wish Hyuk doesn't date anyone then turn around and go on dates himself. That is what an hypocritical person would do. "Rule for thee none for me".I am 100% sure if Hyuk went on a date with someone else, Inseo would have sabotaged it. You can never convince me otherwise.
so when author tries to sell this as one true love or first love it just feels misleading. it falls flat in the face of the meaning of one true love or first love.
it would have been a good story if the feelings before the relationship simply remained dirty and possessive but nothing else especially not love.
it would have been a story of a man who is selfish, coward, narcissist, hypocrite and would have had antagonistic vibes but got the love at the end that he actually didn't deserve because Hyuk though not aware of his feelings remained a fucking virgin. His feelings were a combination of obsession, fear and desire but not love. Never love.
You can ask me can't it be an unrequited love?? while at surface it might feel like it but if you dig deeper all it tells is that he wanted Hyuk like he wanted a toy, not as a person. He just wanted to possess Hyuk. Inseo really didn't put in any work to prove that whatever feelings he had is love. All the proof that I can see is him claiming it as love and he suffered but what did he suffer... Suffered because he got sexually involved with others?? He could have stopped it if he really suffered or if it's form of self inflicted suffering but according to character setting he enjoyed himself because he is a fucking hedonist. So no he didn't suffer if he is actively carrying condom around to sleep with a stranger and also take them on dates to movies and even formed friendships with the people he slept with and nowhere it showed him suffering from sleeping around and it even confirmed he enjoyed it.
So what else did he suffer? I agree he had this immense fear of losing Hyuk because of his feelings but that doesn't equal first love bullshit he claims. His actions are exact opposite of a person who had this deep love for another. If he wants no one else to come in between them then he should not have brought so many people to his bed either.
so when he couldn't hold back anymore all I can think is he couldn't hold back his physical desires for his object of emotional desire because he is just horny. it's not true love or first love and it's misleading to paint it as such.
Hyuk was literally a sex outlet to him and nothing else, I mean he didn't wanna date, give him a title of boyfriend but just fuck him like friends with benefits because he is afraid he will lose him if they date like what????? And he says he loves him. Is that how you would treat someone you love?
He literally gave the people he fucked before the title of girlfriend because he was okay with breaking up with them but he wouldn't give any title to the person he apparently loves and doesn't want to lose except the title of bed warmer. The fuck is this "love"?
inseo had every right to sleep with others (even while having feelings for someone) and enjoy it but neither him nor the author had any right to claim whatever his feelings for inseo before or during initial phase of the relationship as true love. Should never claim that he has been in love all along. I mean how come you can take someone to date and fuck them and come back and claim you are in love with your best friend. It's disgusting when the authors claim this shit as love just because they can.
It's not love if he can easily replace his "love" with so many other people. It's just lust, physical desire. It should not be sold as true love in the stories and should be given a title for what it is - maybe like crush or limerence (I totally googled the second term(▰˘◡˘▰) )
PS: also if inseo is said to be bisexual I am just astonished that he never slept with a man throughout his hedonistic phase of life.
NOOO I WANTED TO LIKE , sorry
Haha that's okay
I'm not ready all of that but sorry for your loss , congratulations!! And thankyou for you service
Yessss!!!! FACTS!!! I never finished this but I always felt like seme was an asshole character and your explanation only supports my initial thoughts（￣へ￣ ). Anyways, I applaud your effort and explaining your thoughts and I fully agree! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Bro no hate but this an article
“so in order to distract himself from this feeling, he starts physical relationship with others. it is mentioned that he is an hedonist. now why this is not considered true love is, first of all if he is truly in love with Hyuk he should not be able to get turned on by others but he had the mental and physical capacity to be attracted by so many other people.” this is so real. like irl i understand u have sex bc of pleasure and stuff idk how to explain but in my mind, if u like someone why have sex w other ppl or maybe it’s just me manifesting someone that truly loves me to the point of not feeling sexual attraction for anyone else
BUT i forgot this manhwa a long time ago, he has sex with other ppl???????
You mean inseo lied about being a virgin?
He is an AH, the side stories is proving that very strongly. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
He had sex with so many people before he started his sexual relationship with MC but another thing that irks me is MC is a virgin because he was also in love with ML
Did he ever mention he was a virgin?? But anyway he is not a virgin. He has had many many girlfriends before.
Yeah he said that though he went out with people he didn’t have sex with them.
Is it? I can't seem to recall it. Which chapter is it from? From authors note at the end of season 1 it's clear he was having sex with his girlfriends as he always practiced safe sex.
The author never said he was having sex with others. In chapter 66 he explains that he always has to be prepared just in case because that’s what his mother taught him. It’s exactly what the author’s notes said but more detailed. Btw it’s not strange at all to have a condom just in case something happens.
He doesn’t. It’s explained in chapter 66
Huhhhhhh??? What the hell? Then there was a panel of him kissing a girl. What was that about?? This is fucking confusing.
But above all, am I am idiot, how the hell did I miss it?? My world views are shattering.
Yesss. That’s why I was wondering if he was lying. Then again his character is poorly written so maybe it’s a plot hole.
Yeah right, it feels like author changed their mind/character setting at last minute. It was not really well thought out because if he was always a virgin in author's mind the clues should have been there but I couldn't find any. Or the author is just simply fucking with us so we will all be confused.
This story gave me the ick very early on with the side couple, where one rapes the other and then proceeds to essentially hold him hostage.
Oooohhh I am first here... Let me see what's the story is about
Edit: it's just a prologue. Kinda like Ch:0. Can't wait for the chapters
Oh my fucking God.... He fucking cheated on MC and expect to be loved by MC. What a shitty ML. Shit waste of my time. I never hated a ML this much. Fucking asshole.(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I was not ready for it, it caught me off-guard. Did he really cheat????? Oh God I don't want to read further. For anyone who can answer it's around Chap 37 or 38. Fuck this shit. I am out
Yeah that’s why I dropped it. He said in the novel that he was a bit tired of “conservative” MC, and wanted to taste the “wild” sometimes. Or at least that’s what I remember. Translation could be off. And MC never found out just so you know.
Ugh he is shitty then, I can never forgive cheaters so it's a good thing I dropped this
Murder is okay. Cheating is where I draw the line.
Real
So real for that
Same
Wait wait wait the comment below you by BubbleTeabeta explained how he didn’t actually cheat, is that right?
Wait no, they clarified in the comments, yeah he totally cheated
Yeah and his comments are disgusting/internal dialogue.
ML is the biggest hypocrite, he talks about cleanliness and all from MC but he is the one sleeping around with anyone and everyone, disgusting. MC should be the one worried about ML being clean
Right?? Poor MC, and MC is also stupid for staying with him. He doesn’t deserve to be with a kind hearted MC.
Spoilers maybe
But from the other comments it seems MC stopped loving ML even after years of redemption from ML, but MC was unable to get away from him because the MLs sister threatened him. So he is maybe just powerless but it's still heartbreaking, MC deserves a happy life with someone who loves him wholeheartedly. ML doesn't even deserve to touch the shadow of MC but MC is just unlucky to live with him even if it's a loveless arrangement from his end.
ML is a shitty person alright.... I think the author initially wanted to write a cute and sweet story but later decided to throw that idea into the burner and started writing toxic shit.... Still I am gonna read it to see the ML getting his face slapped but not sure if it's gonna happen.... Ugh
For real, now I'm just waiting for the Ml begging arc
I came very excited because of the update only to be disappointed by Alexis. WTF Alexis
The art is just amazing. I literally have no words. Wow
I only people I like in this except for the MC is the grandpa and the princess. Others can go fuck themselves with a
Especially the seme
I don't understand the hype this Manhwa gets. I mean Pado is disgusting. Right after he claims Haeil as his in front of his sister and acts all possessive, he goes around fucking someone else. That too imagining them as Heail. It's literally that easy for him to replace Haeil that it's disgusting. He might have once liked and even loved Haeil genuinely but it's now coloured with hate and lust that it's not a genuine affection or love anymore and calling it as such is just misleading. I understand he was hurt by MC and he has every right to move on but acting all possessive and jealous while he himself sleeps around just makes him look like an hypocrite. And above all I am so so sure that the author is going to make it look like he was suffering through his hoe life, like bro come on? He wouldn't go back to sleep in every bed in the university if it's not good but still it will be made to look like he was suffering and losing himself. Ugh
