for me this isn't a story where i just turn my brain off to have some fun reading, which says a lot bcz im someone who reads bls purely for the fictional aspects.
ik chaheon isn't exactly a green flag, ik he can be really exhausting and weirdly possessive. but here's the thing: jeongyoon accepts him the way he is. irl relationships aren't all sunshine and rainbows, they are bound to have issues and hurdles. very few couples exist where both party is completely sane.
now ppl may say that jeongyoon is dumb or too naive. while i do agree that he is indeed a little blind in love, but that's not necessarily harmful for him. jeongyoon grew up in a healthy, non-toxic environment with loving parents and siblings and he has really good friends. he is extremely doted on by everyone around him. ppl like jeongyoon don't readily accept abusive/red flag behaviors in romantic relationships, bcz they know what its like to be actually loved.
chaheon, on the other hand, does not.
which clearly explains his odd behaviors. despite the contrasts, their relationship is happy and thriving bcz at the end of the day, they love each the right way.
so yeah. no matter how anyone else sees it, i think their relationship is really beautiful and realistic. and yes i love chaheon too, bcz im someone just like jeongyoon.
I agree. jeongyoon is not blind about his partner's ways and Cha Heon is not actually harming him in any way. He lied about the family to give him peace of mind (clearly he didn't need to or should do it but it still comes from a place of love) and supports him and even lets him freely see his friends despite how jealous he is of everyone. (●'◡'●)ノ I also liked this a lot.
guys is this story very angsty? should i read it?
How to say....ML is a real green flag and MC is a lil bad back then but you'll see the biggest change..and there's cruel things but still not too cruel shit drama like other manhua ...trust me...the plot are not lacking and the characters are good and so sweet... it has a lot of meat hehe if you have read it later ... let's me know how you feel too!
as a rape victim myself i usually don't have any problem reading stories like this probably because im so mentally desensitized atp and i can separate fiction from reality. however, this one is really getting to me. not because i feel bad for jiwook, no, in fact i wish my rapist would get the same fate as him idgaf. what bothers me is that it's so extremely... graphic? don't get me wrong even if this is some sick fetish content that ppl genuinely goon over, i really couldn't care less. honestly idek why im saying all ts bcz i keep coming to this story out of pure curiosity despite the fact that im not enjoying it. why am i doing this to myself
I think it’s hard not to feel some type of empathy while reading this, whether you are a rape victim or not. It’s definitely not like jinx, or 16647. Dare I say it’s more intense than obey me? Idk. And it is oddly magnetic, probably because we’re so desperate to see how it’ll play out. Me personally, I just want one of them to die. It doesn’t matter which one. (´༎ρ༎`)
personally i wouldn't say what i feel towards jiwook is empathy. its just extremely disconcerting to see a character being subjected to inhumane torture like this, rapist or not. that being said i HATE juyeon not because of his actions but rather the motive behind his actions: which is obsession, not revenge.
however i completely agree with the rest of what you said, though I haven't read obey me yet
juyeon is the pale one and jiwook is the tanned one.
SPOILERS
jiwook gangraped juyeon when juyeon was a teenager after he confessed to jiwook. then he sent a video of it to juyeon's mother which caused her to fall into a coma. (i heard these from people who have read the novel, i haven't read it myself)
