It is still rape, even if the rapist suffers from mental illness.
Only read season one in hopes the plot would develop better but it didn’t. Almost every other sexual encounter was rape.
To be fair this “review” is just of season one because I couldn’t bring myself to continue reading.
For me, hyeonjin was just too unserious and pompous. He treated everything so casually but in a disingenuous way. I kept waiting for the ball to drop, like waiting for hyeonjin to finally show his true colors. At one point jaewon even mentions how hyeonjin treats everything too casually and yet nothing changes. I understand he has no ulterior motive but he just seems disingenuous and I can’t get passed that.
Like jaewon seems like a fully fleshed out character while hyeonjin gives off fuck boy vibes despite constantly confessing and nothing more. Jaewon has reason to be conflicted. He has reason to be upset. He has reason to be cautious. Hyeonjin just silences and soothes him with sex but never addresses anything.
Maybe season two gets better but I have little interest to continue reading .
It’s actually comical how all of the interesting plot points in this piece are never addressed. There is no actual resolution but they get their happily ever after and it’s so cute lol it’s so weird. You never find out why Heesu was actually interested in saha initially. You never find out about the sleep walking. You never find out about the divine power thing. You never find out why the brother was getting better. The rape scene in chapter 32 is never spoken of and is completely glossed over. The only storyline that you actually get answers to is was how the brother died.
Side stories are quite fun as they don’t add or take away anything from the actually story
I can’t say I disliked or liked the story. It feels very unfinished but at the same time it gets randomly tied up nicely.
Dropped at chapter 50. The plot is somewhat interesting but it’s all very confusing. All of the “sex” scenes are harsh and violent. Even if the acts were supposedly consensual. The first “sexual” encounter was rape, no matter how the author tried to throw a in an inconspicuous flashback of a “drunk” uke. And every subsequent encounter gets progressively worse.
