beyblade's Topics (26)

i’m at ch. 32 now, and i’m already losing interest. but everyone else in the comments is saying that the story is good. i don’t mind a little spoiler, so convince me why i shouldn’t drop this.

my main grip is that the way they fall in love is too superficial. unless there’s a flashback showing that ML was already in love with MC before his personality change or even chapters from ML’s POV, i don’t understand why just meeting him a few times would lead to ML falling in love. there are other issues, but i can just roll my eyes and continue reading.

Woo-in is just too darn understanding. It makes me cry so much for him. I always considered being quick-witted his strength. But sometimes it feels more like a burden, with how he was able to realize Jun’s feelings early on, how he left his family once he became of age, and how he was able to forgive Suk Yun easily in ch. 95.

Woo-in has abandonment issues and, to be honest, is kind of a people pleaser due to his childhood upbringing. He doesn’t see Suk Yun’s actions in ch. 88 as r*ape because he understands that Suk Yun will not hurt him. He probably just thinks of it as an out of character rough sex. Suk Yun has separation anxiety and abandonment issues too, and his way of reassuring himself is via bite marks and physical affection… like a form of possessiveness. And Woo-in understands that Suk Yun is bad at communicating because he was brought up in an environment where he couldn’t verbally express his wants and desires to others.

I understand the nuances in their relationship, and why this isn’t considered r*pe. But the issue is, it feels almost like a cop-out from the author. I would rather have a complex and uncomfortable conversation between the two than a “i didn’t think it was r*pe and therefore it isn’t.” I still love this story, but I guess headcanon-wise, they eventually talk about this issue once they get more into BDSM (that’s what the side story was hinting at, right?)

Anyone know if the updated manuscript for the Korean version made any changes on Dowon’s fate?

It’s been a long time since I last read this manhwa on Tumblr. If I find the link, I’ll post it here.

So if I remember correctly, Yuwon heads to California, encounters his first love and decides to pursue him. Back when he was a kid, his crush, a high schooler, gave him some advice (forgot what he said, but I think it was either about being comfortable in your own skin or how to be popular). (side note: his crush is so freaking cool. I remembered the moment he was introduced, I wanted to see more of his character. Imagine my surprise when they reunited).

Now back in Korea, Heebum and Yuwon are at opposite crosswalks of the street but they don’t see each other, implying that they are no longer a part of each other’s life. Yuwon talks with his crush on the phone, revealing that he succeeded in his pursuit. Later he comes out to his friends. They laugh and cry. Heebum heads to a college campus to meet Jumi. He asks her out and they start dating. I think his father no longer interferes in his affairs now.

Overall, I remembered being very satisfied with the story. Though it was a bit tedious going back and forth between the raw and the written translation.

saw another comment say that Hyesung (the omega friend) got jealous of Geon’s closeness with Hyundal, and i’m all for it. i think it happens around ch. 25(?). it’s refreshing to see a jealous friend who is jealous because u are growing distant and not because they’re secretly in love with u. i don’t need a love triangle! he seems like a great friend, so i hope they resolve their issues and stay friends.

I started seeing Nozaki and (blonde) Mikoshiba. I don’t even ship those two lol. Nice story though

Just finished both this and the sequel. Does anyone know what is the meaning behind the title?

Unless it was already explained in the manhwa, I think it’s because both MCs fell for each other in a quiet way. Like the feeling of love crept in without a sound, accumulating with each interaction… and before they knew it, they had already fallen deep. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

There were hints! There were hints! Everywhere! And yet I still cried when it was revealed. ;;-;; (also, ditto on the side couple, WTF… it should have focused on Gido or Weonyi)

Ao was Takeo’s sexual awakening. Ao and Shingo’s relationship was the turning point that shifted Takeo’s view on love. He went from wanting something casual to wanting to create a life-long relationship. Without the events from the prequel, Takeo might have never looked in Wako’s direction. And even if he falls for Wako, it would have taken longer for Takeo to realize his feelings because Wako was determined to never confess to a man who only loves women.

I do think it’s inevitable that Takeo falls for Wako because Wako has always been his number one priority. But it would be mad traumatic if AU Takeo figures out those feelings after he marries a woman. *cough* knock on wood *cough*

That argument in ch.5 was a mess because neither Takeo nor Wako were on the same page and both were too stubborn to give in to the other. Wako, being the self-deprecating fool that he is, wanted to know who was the first guy Takeo loved because he still thinks Takeo loves that guy. Takeo, on the other hand, is frustrated with Wako not believing his love and thinking he is in love with another. It’s almost like his love is a joke to Wako.

Even the trigger of that argument was a misunderstanding. Takeo saw Wako’s expression after speaking with Shingo and wanted to find out how Shingo made Wako upset. While, Wako thought it was because Takeo had something to hide. And maybe subconsciously, Takeo does want to hide this. This is his first serious relationship, and he is constantly afraid his lover would flee. This anxiety is new to Takeo and he is unsure how to deal with it. With casual relationships, if things don’t work out, just break up. But neither wants to break up and thank goodness they worked things out somehow. On that note, I want to read a sequel where they grow into more mature versions of themselves ahhhhh ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

I honestly would love to see more of Takeo’s POV though, because I can imagine all that angst underneath his calm composure.

Awesome translation and nice quality scans (dare I say even better than the official?)
