This guy seriously jumps to the worst conclusion and gets all worked up all by himself lmao...and then every time Yena gives him an in to tell her she's on his mind actually, he 's like "I think I'll pick up a gun an shoot myself in the foot instead" because he doesn't even realise he's picked up feels yet. Bro's so funny
It's wild to me that the response to his (very sick) partner's alcoholisn is... physical abuse. Hair grabbing, sex as violence, etc. Mind you, I don't condone the lying and smuggling in drinks at all. It's incredibly fucking rough having someone close to you act that way. But this is worse. Seongjae physically punishing his partner, especially when he knows full well Seungwon is fragile, is not an act of love or concern in the slightest and shows that he genuinely is an unsafe person to be around. The reason I'm so baffled by this response is though is because it's so counterproductive to what Seongjae wants, which is to keep Seungwon healthy. It'd make a lot more sense if he gave him a different punishment than a physical one.
On Seungwon's side, I suppose he has technically known Seongjae is unsafe all this time anyway and maybe that in combination with doing numbing himself so he doesn't get stressed and have an episode is why he's convinced himself it doesn't phase him that much. Glossing over it all is wild, but fawning is also a survival mechanism, just like fight or flight.
I'm really interested in how they're going to detangle this mess of Seongjae being abusive and Seungwon being crazy traumatised.
Honestly though I'm also so glad seeing an isekai going all in on the trauma angle. I've always felt it's unrealistic to not have the protagonist be messed up in such a scenario.
The issue is they don’t really touch on it at all, not bc the ml didn’t want to, but bc the mc didn’t. One of the bottles were spiked with date rape drugs and the mc never knew until way later bc he just put off the issues which ended up hurting both of them. Not to blame mc for anything, this was just genuinely an unfortunate turn of events
Sorry about that, replies don’t have the option to include spoiler warning so I completely forgot about it, that’s my fault. To avoid spoiling things more I’ll just keep my explanation vague then. Mc wishes for the ML’s love and the stability that comes with it so much that’s he’s ignoring the other’s flaws, which in turns hurts himself and the people who love him (including ml). Willful ignorance and blank forgiveness isn’t good nor healthy for their relationship. That’s something they’ll have to learn to overcome.
This is actually so good. Yooju really, truly, is living in a nightmare. But I'm intrigued by all the characters and their complexity. The way the madam switches between loving and being a stone cold bitch, only to show a bit of heart when no one is looking, and the way Seunghan pulls a similar act but genuinely is interested in Yooju. And that's probably because of the world they've been living in, but they're shooting themselves in the foot by making Yooju so distrustful of them.
I think my favourite character so far is the brother, mainly because he genuinely seems like a good guy so far, he genuinely seems concerned about what Yooju despite not knowing much about her. I don't know if thay will change in the future, but I want to see more of him.
I'm very happy to see Jaehyuk finally realising that his idea of making Garam happy might not actually make Garam happy.
However, he's also still at it slamming doors and acting all aggro. And then leaving off on that ominous note. So unfortunately I have the feeling he has just done a full 180 from "I'm gonna bother Garam all the time" to "nothing I do will work so I'll just remove myself from the picture entirely", instead of realising he maybe should just ask. Either that or he'll get too in his head about making sure he pleases Garam. But I hope I'm wrong.
Anyway looks like it's time for Garam to be the proactive one soon. So Jaehyuk can feel that he is loved too.










This is so messy lol, his lack of self awareness is actually kind of astounding. He's asking her if she's ever looked at him as just Cesare, but doesn't realise he has never given her one single good reason to do so or done anything to make himself worthy of her trust.
