For a vampire, not as spicy as I wanted it to be (felt more like shounen-ai than yaoi). And yes I loved the dynamic of the 2nd couple as well
To check whether it's as controversial as the western fans reactions, meaning the author knows they messed up. Or did korean fans actually enjoy this chapter?
I completely understand and respect the author taking a longer hiatus for their health. Burnout is very real, and I’d much rather they take the time they need to recover properly than push through and make things worse. Their well-being should always come first.
That said, I can’t help but feel a bit frustrated with how Juheon and Dohu’s storyline has been handled since the start of the season. It feels like there hasn’t been any real progress in their relationship, and instead it’s been a cycle of one step forward and three steps back.
At times, it almost feels like the author wrote themselves into a corner with how things developed.
I’m still looking forward to the comeback and hoping that this break gives the author the clarity and energy to move the story forward in a more satisfying way.
And of course it’s right when I came here to theorize about what’s going to happen this week... but nah march 28th it is...
Anyway, here’s what I was thinking.
Now that Dohu seems to understand what’s really going on with Juheon, and considering how worried he looked about Juheon’s health (which is completely fair, because Juheon was visibly wobbly and groggy at the end of the chapter when he ran into his aunt in the alley near his apartment), I feel like Dohu is definitely going to show up at Juheon’s place.
Since the aunt was still in the alley, maybe Dohu will overhear her ranting about everything she’s put Juheon through. And maybe that’s when it finally clicks for him that he himself was used as blackmail against Juheon. If that happens, I can totally see Dohu confronting her and finally putting her in her place.
And then… maybe, just maybe, this is the moment Juheon and Dohu properly reconcile. Or, alternatively, Juheon finally collapses from all the stress, and when he wakes up, Dohu is there taking care of him.
March 28th can’t come fast enough.
Thanks for the new chapter, Dindin!! And guys… Gitae is definitely up to something bad.
I have a feeling this is going to end with either Juheon or Dohu getting hurt. Honestly, I really want to see Dohu protecting Juheon and getting injured in the process, which will finally make Juheon snap out of his self-loathing slump and stop ignoring Dohu.
Also… why is their scene set in a construction zone? From my years of reading manga and manhwa, I know something bad is bound to happen there ughhh
