I can’t be the only who thinks the story would only be elevated by Dan’s death,,,,like he’s already treated as a plot device to change Jae kyung, this would serve as a good climax for him to either progress or regress on his journey. But whatever I know mingwa doesn’t have the balls to switch the narrative into a character study that subverts the genre
That would be different for sure and the kind of tragic ending they both have been going up to..
By the “genre” I mean this specific type of romance where regret and groveling—ultimately leading to a chasing arc and happy ending in the form of “redemption”—are the focus. By removing Dan, jaekyung would lose the opportunity to be externally forgiven, he’d need to find internal reasons to become a better person, thereby making his “redemption” a little more earnest
It’d actually be such an interesting route for the story to take,,,,very hopeless tho lol
Agree. Midway into this ch I actually paused and thought about it too
Great minds think alike
In between the slop the author shat out there was one gem….now it’s back to generic 2 dimensional stories. Istg I’ve seen this exact dynamic of uninterested hedonist x shy hard worker a billion times fuck yaoi
Which title is the gem?
The 2nd couple in my suha BUT DISCLAIMER by gem I mean the pairs dynamic is distinct within bl + raises interesting questions on redemption. At the end of the day it is just porn lmao. TW for rape and violence btw
