I think fans disappointment come from how bad the company managed this issue. This work is based on an existing novel, which means Han is just an artist drawing it.
It's normal for an artist to take a break when they are sick, health is important and job is not everything. But when a project kept getting delayed and stuck for a long time because one of the worker can't continue the work, the company should have swooped in and provide extra worker on board (2nd main artist, a team of assistants). Han is not the brain of this operation, that's the author. She's the hand, which means we can find another artist to take the reign when she can't.
I disagree with people who said there is nobody who can draw as good/similar as Han, this is the art world with tons of talented artists, anything is possible. They can work as captain and vice-captain, main artist and backup artist, or artist 1 and artist 2. This is a group project, not Han's personal work. This is a professional world where customer trust and money is involved, and as such they should prioritize keeping this project runs smoothly.
true but people would still complain if the artstyle is even a tiny bit different
lots of people complained when han changed/improved theirs so i doubt having a secondary artist to take over wouldnt be ideal cus people are such bums nowadays
God i actually have tears in my eyes no joke THE SEXUAL TENSION AND CHEMISTRY IS INSANE IM STRESSSSSSSSSSED PHYSICAL VIOLENCE THE COUPLE ONLY UNO CAN HANDLE HIM AND UNO HIMSELF COMING TO THE REALIZATION THAT HE CARES SO MUCH ABOUT ENZO IM ACTUALLY CRYING IT DIDNT EVEN FLASH IN ENZO'S MIND THAT ANYONE COULD CARE FOR HIM I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH AAAAHHHHHHH HANSE-NIM THANKYOU FOR CREATING THIS 2 IM STILL CRYING
This is the reality of staying with a psychopathic madman. He'll see the world with his own lense and they'll both suffer for it. Ilay is very rational, in his head his logic tell him to kill taeui for betraying him, but once he saw his face he couldn't do it and decided to eat and devour him to the bone so he won't runaway from him anymore. But even then he couldn't do that because there will be no taeui left, so he settled with punishing (scaring and raping) him so he learns his lesson. The next morning taeui will explain and ilay could only stare at him speechless in a daze because he made a lapse in his judgement.
There is no romantic advancement from this incident, he felt so heartbroken and wronged that this incident kept being a sore spot for him even 10 years afterwards. When he remembered this day in diasim, when ivan talked about this day in suite, his mood immediately plummeted and he became sorrowful for a while. Out of everything ilay did to him, this one scarred him the most.
Iltae is so interesting for me because it's realistic, a psychopath won't change himself 180° in one night even for the person he loves. Instead i could see ilay fighting himself to stay conscious after getting sedated in lethal dose and still killing 6 people just to keep taeui safe in diasim, ilay being attentive whenever taeui said his body is hurting and oil massaging him, ilay deadset on killing jaeui but changing his mind to only injuring him because he doesn't want taeui to hate him, ilay accidentally stabbing taeui and it traumatized him so bad he had nightmares for a year straight and it only stopped after he made a deal with t&r squad that if taeui dies he will die too killed by them because he couldn't bear living in a world without taeui.
And taeui is not the sanest person too, he declared to ilay that he would go wherever ilay goes whether it's jail, confinement, or as fugitives as he boldly rejected rahman's request in diasim, he was crashing out yelling manhandling ilay in suite because he's scared ilay was acting distant and might break up with him, he asked to be killed too if ilay dies because he doesn't want to live in a world without ilay, and in suite complete work taeui already had ilay in the palm of his hand that he would stop if he tells him to stop, and he does everything taeui tells him like it's an order. This is just the story of 1 half-sane person and 1 absolutely insane person. It's never gonna be smooth, but i enjoy the ride and dynamic.
Um...do you happen to come from Twitter? Cus this sounds similar to some posts I've seen breaking down Ilay's character and their relationship.
I like how you broke everything down.
Hahah yeah! But i only tweeted like a quarter of this, so if you see a full long breakdown it might be someone else
Wait you explained it in such a nice way (=・ω・=)
i love how you summed up their relationship. I can't say much, because i haven't finish the novel(prioritising another novel first), but i do spoil myself, A LOT. we can't treat IlTae or even hope for them to have a semblance to a normal/semi-normal average everyday couple(especially from Ilay who has the mindset of a madman).
•But we will see small changes in Ilay where he does things for Taeui, only Taeui, which he wouldn't have done for anyone else. he has his own ways to show that he actually cares about taeui, like the ones you mentioned.(one example in the manhwa(if you're a manhwa-only person), is during seringe, after Tae took a long cold shower then woke ilay up by kissing him, ilay held on to him and you can see ilay rubbing on taeui's injured knee to warm it up
•And it is strange for me to say that the part where ilay was gone for months to hunt down those who tortured taeui, 'the head scene', is kinda....cute, in a strange way
-like a kitty leaving presents for it's owner
•Oh, and there's also a scene where ilay was hurt, guts kinda spilling out, but he still prioritised taeui right?
•and i wouldn't necessarily call Taeui a pushover(like many others do), more like he's aware but laid-back? more of him intentionally brushing off an issue because to him there's no point dwelling on it. sometimes this particular trait of his does irk at times though.Taeuiii...
•i kinda hate it when pple would call passion and ilay/taeui just pure ra/peslop(i mean the current manhwa itself is literally just the beginning). when there's so much complexity in both ilay's and taeui's character+the dynamics in their relationship
Negative comments complaining he looks like a child here are such a Korean manhwa-only noob, if they read Japanese manga they would know this is just an artstyle. Everyone is such a fake 2d liker if you watch even 1 (one) anime you would know bigger eyes is normal for character deemed as cute
Personally I'm optimistic they'll make up because Nanjo is always easy af to Mokyeon bro Mokyeon is literally his soft spot, he didn't make a written agreement for their deal, he emptied his office floor when Mokyeon visited, he brought him to hospital, accompanied him, waited for him inside while Mokyeon was taking a shower. All because Mokyeon ASKED
Nanjo is not stupid or naive, he's not "too kind" he can stop and ruin Mokyeon's life if he wants to he's a chaebol ffs. Remember when Sunhwa said it's so hard to meet Nanjo even monthly while Mokyeon regularly met up and spent time with him weekly? It might look like he's being pulled around but he deadass doesn't want to be saved he's literally right where he wants to be
I love that in bl the concept of janus/the scariest thing you fear usually appears as another human and they're able to fight it, me personally if they appear as a giant c*ckroach i would just kill myself on the spot no fighting not even running away just adios
Personally, I'm more scared of hundreds of roaches than a huge one
all of em flying
Yup, that would be me too. I can’t with them.
Now i know i cant complain since im reading this free here, but it's such a shame it's adapted like this. It's like they're giving this project to a complete beginner artist who could draw a bit but never made a manhwa before, hence the bad pacing, the lack of background and people in the background, the inability to convey a situation via "show, dont tell". This is the climax of the story and it feels even more lacking. Just a shame
the pacing is more on the producers/editors. they have a lot of input and it's very unlikely a newer artist would have much say on the script and pace.
Mr choi is looking real breedable this chapter what the hell THE PRIDEFUL MR CHOI standing up for uyun despite shivering in fear and shame???? Hello?????
Idk how to word this but yujin isn't being really strategic here. Ok so your bf is obsessed with you to the point of chaining you up, but the room is comfy and the cage is gold. He's not physically violent with you other than the nonstop sex. You knew he's anxious about you leaving but you don't play into it. Like bro just ask for a blanket and book to show you plan to spend your time here. Ask for a phone that can only connect to his phone so you can show you care and soothe his heart. Little by little you'll find your chance and aaron will let you go to the garden and even outside together with him. Alas yujin is a tsundere "fight and flight" type rather than the fawning type. Like is pride and freedom really that important? Just enjoy the cage and negotiate, is survivability not the end goal here. YOU LIKE HIM ANYWAY CMON even a stray cat will act opportunistic, he acts more like a feral cat
This is my thoughts for 90% of kidnap/confinement manhwa i read
