i’m so sick of the discourse surrounding this. i get it’s popular, but that comes with people not understanding the story or the characters at all.
firstly, this is a psychological story, its not going to be a lighthearted romance (literally look at the cover) even the art style is dark and gritty (but still stunning). yes the plot is crazy, you learn that from the first chapter so expecting something else makes no sense.
Rosa is a girl who struggles for control. she’s not had a father growing up and has had everything she’s ever wanted. she’s bored and this idea of control excites her. also her not having a father probably makes her have a bias against most men. her relationship with her mother is tested when not only does her mom bring in a man half her age and the same age as her own daughter, but also someone her daughter has had a past with. obviously rosa would be upset at this, and their past suggests they had some feelings towards each other, for rosa this being possession. she seems to be obsessive over her things but also destructive, her character is one that still needs exploring and explaining but we see the stepping stones set in place.
Yeonwu is a character we know little about, he’s had a hard past as an orphan and a history with rosa- even getting a tattoo dedicated to her. he lived his life as a male host, trying to pay off his debt when rosa’s mom basically bought him to go to second base with her, then giving him an opportunity to be in a relationship, helping him have a home and settling his debt. obviously he’d take it, we don’t know if his feelings are genuine, it’s most likely darker than we know and he could even have been groomed or just a victim of the power dynamics. we’re seeing a bit of his true character, he probably isn’t as innocent as he seems and i theorize he’s trying to seek vengeance on rosa.
Jaeon should not be the ml, all we know about him is he’s attractive and friends with rosa. he might have some romantic attraction to her but it’s mostly just lust, which is why he’s so complacent with everything she wants to do. he doesn’t actually care enough to pursue her, as long as he gets to sleep with her. he doesn’t take anything seriously either, he’s here to have fun and get by. that is not what rosa needs or obviously wants, dare i say he’s too normal for her. saying he needs to be the ml is also not understanding rosa’s character.
there’s still alot to be unraveled, Jaeon is too normal to be considered an option, he’s “safe” which is not want rosa wants. she also needs a relationship where she’s humbled, she’s always had everything so it’s time for her to want something completely unattainable. yeonwu is probably hiding his true motives and nature, rn he’s just this boy bribed by an older woman. yes he’s a victim and i’m theorizing it’s going to be mostly centered around him and rosa getting caught up in his motive by her own feelings. it’s a psychological story, not a romance but also meant to flip gender roles on their side. dare i say, men get away with being horrible red flags but the moment a woman shows an ounce of cruelty, she’s considered horrible while men get redemption arcs and praised.
the title is toying with daddy and is obviously a psychological manhwa. if you're looking for a feel good, wholesome romance, youre not getting that here. and for everyone saying jaeon should be the ml, y'all are boring. him as the ml is literally so cliché.
Mom is really the fucking villain here. Fucking with two kids, one literally and figuratively. Rosa needs to teach Yeonwu until he learns how to protect himself and live on his own terms. I think he needs to depend and build an alliance with Rosa, and wait on mom getting crazy and jailed or something, because in no way am I going to root for a middle aged bitch with a midlife crisis, purposely buying a kid, throwing the said kid in a rape and drugging environment, and doing those same things herself, worse: abusing, manipulating, and trapping him with the promise of family. That’s fucked up. At least with Rosa, the power imbalance is not too much, and he’s already fucking up her head so he actually is almost on the same level as her. I need this crazy mother gothel JAILED.
Yeah 24’s kind of a hot tragic mess. What the author stated as Yeonwu’s “toxic side” is just trauma response. He’s easily aroused when he gets degraded for being dirty- despite holding unto his chastity ‘til he got an easy way out. Damn, also his little goody two shoes act and provocations here and there with Rosa were very much intentional. Stepfather my ass. Considering his past, this interest in Rosa might be because she’s the opposite of his regulars (or himself really), and also because she’s one of the few people in his life who knew the sweet innocent Yeonwu before his life fell apart.
Side note, so Yeonwu DID eye down the 2nd ml lol I wasn’t imagining it. He eavesdropped hard on that mother and daughter phone call since he picked up the detail on Rosa’s fake sleepover quick. Rahhh the obsession is in fact mutual. Now that we know, it’s not a far cry to say he also fantasized about Rosa when his eyes lingered a bit on that picture, ofc while he was fucking the mom (don’t tell me why I know, it itched my curiosity back then WHY). Crazy world out there yo
I love that we're all collectively losing our minds after realizing he's a high a schooler but more importantly there was legit NO reason to make him a minor like c'mon now
Tomorrow is mr a day. We only get this opportunity thrice a month and if I do not see Kendrick getting blown from both ends, with his legs shaking and mouth drooling and eyes crossing and popping out his big eggs my entire week WILL be ruined.
Also we are getting a chapter for christmas so you KNOW I will be sneaking out during dinner to read the latest chapter in the bathroom.

I see an ongoing trend with people in the comments ripping apart comics that have themes like toxic relationships or mental illness related drama.
Can yall just... not :D??
If you wanna just see a happy ever after story with lovehearts glitter and soft bois being gay.. then please read those kinds of comics!
I personally love drama and dark topics and it's interesting that the plot has something else than "two handsome gay bois making each other feel funny UwU".
When I go to the comments of a comic that I like, I naturally wanna see my peers discuss about the latest chapter or get excited about the characters, but all I see is pissy and angy losers (sorry not sorry) complaining about how they wasted time on reading it or how they wanna physically assault the author (which is insane, please see a therapist ╮(￣▽￣)╭ ).
So yeah... can yall just stop being so angy and let the people who enjoy the story enjoy it in peace? :3
Istg if they gave that mf tentacles just to have another thing to rape the mc with I'm acc gunna lose my shit
"why does my dick need to adhere to a social construct such as time" get the fuck away from me
