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.
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.
The premise is so fucking funny (tragic, but funny), imagine your family doing all of that when in reality it just screams fragile masculinity rather than alpha lmao
Love love love the couple, good for them <3
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.
Nothing this comic has done can convince me it isn't for the bisexuals (positive)
Jaehyuk is actually unhinged tbh, not just for being an absolute menace when they're at school and potentially putting Garam in danger of being outed, but also for becoming Garam's neighbour when Garam specifically moved out to have space away from Jaehyuk to think.
I'm not saying Garam hasn't also fucked up, but man. Genuinely wtf. I know this is probably the turning point for them because now Jaehyuk is going to see just how stressed Garam is, but this is so uncomfy to watch.
They needed to talk, but tbh during roleplay was not the time for that. It ended well enough, so I guess that's okay, but it felt icky to me. It blurs the lines between between fantasy and reality, and I really don't think mixing degrading insults and accusations from rp with a real and serious topic is an okay thing to do.
With that said, Jungwon is generally a very healthy example of a dom. But maybe that's what made this ick me out more, because I kinda expected better of him.
Idk why I keep coming back to read the comment section when it's been raising my blood pressure for a month straight. I have never seen one as much at war as this one, lmao
I'm glad more people are seeing Jaehyuk's bad behaviour though
Welp I have a feeling someone is about to get himself killed in the ring, and it is not Jaekyung
I kinda get it, feelings don't go away that easily and she spent so much of her life on Jiheon that she doesn't have real passion outside of him, so ofc she'd fold if he did that.
However with that said... I'm just not interested in reading about someone getting with their not-even-ex in this type of way lmao
This old creep finding Jaekyung's place on his own seems absolutely wild, I smell foul play by his opponent :/ And Dan is probably going to have to stop Jaekyung from killing him so he doesn't jeopardise his match with a scandal.
That aside, Dan is too good for this world.
I need to know what exactly was meant when Rosa said she knows what Jae-eon does to girls in clubs, because if it is what it sounds like... yeah, he's a hypocrite
It would be so wild if his way of thinking is "I can sexually assault girls in clubs but I draw the line at messing with your mum's boytoy"
I've barely started on this and it's enjoyable so far, but isn't there a hole in their plan?
Grandpa's eyes may be going, but is his hearing going to? Doesn't seem like it. I haven't met a lot of people with similar enough voices or speaking mannerisms to pass for each other.
I'll ignore it for the sake of the story though lol
I think both of them are valid, but I'd like to point out: while yes, Jaehyuk has grown a lot, he also still hasn't shown himself a safe person to be with. And his behaviour being so ready to be out and cut everyone and everything off is concerning.
Also, do we honestly think at this point they could just talk it out if Garam hadn't run away? Getting a whole new place to live was excessive and that note instead of directly telling Jaehyuk was rough, but removing yourself from a situation so you can think about it with a clear head once the anger and intense feelings cool down genuinely can be a lifesaver. It's so hard to see things clearly when you literally do not have space to think for yourself and the other person seems to be trying to argue you into a corner, throwing things in the trash and deciding what your feelings and motivations are without even questioning if it's true. It's HARD to communicate well when emotions are running so high, often close to impossible. Taking a step back for a while doesn't necessarily mean you love the person less, in fact it can give you space to understand them more and help you work together.
It also really doesn't sit well with me how Jaehyuk says he's doing things for Garam's sake when he never asked Garam if he wanted those things or had a proper discussion about them. And on some level he's aware they're sacrifices, but the thing is he chose to make them and now he's using them against Garam.
Saying this mainly because I see so many people hating Garam's guts, but this is a two-way street. They both need to pause and ask themselves (and each other) "wait, why is the person I love acting this way?" with genuine curiousity and not judge when they get answers.
The saying "Do you want to be right, or do you want to be close?" comes to mind when looking at this comment section's views on relationships. Idk why we care so much who's right or wrong in this. People fuck up all the time, and a part of growing is figuring out what fuckups you can forgive and what you can't handle. Moreover both healing and growing into a better person are messy processes. (Looking at BOTH Garam and Jaehyuk.)
I'm not saying not to be angry, just that the black and white thinking whether it's shitting on Jaehyuk or Garam is kinda wild.
Also seeing comments like "if you haven't worked through your trauma you shouldn't be in a relationship" makes me incredibly sad, because it's so disdainful both towards people who have gone through stuff and the partners who choose them, like they aren't able to decide who they want to be with for themselves. And often relationship trauma specifically is trauma you can't fully heal unless you are given the opportunity to be in a healthy relationship, even with therapy.
If you can't handle being in a relationship with a traumatised person, fine, I don't think you should. But not everyone is like you, and labeling every trauma survivor as unworthy of a relationship is both dehumanising and kicking them when they're down.
Jfc I love Hoseob, but if you run into someone's stalker while they're in the middle of said stalking, YOU TELL THEM RIGHT AWAY UNLESS YOU HAVE AN EXTREMELY GOOD REASON NOT TO.
Sidenote, I knew they weren't on the same page about dating and partnership, but that feels a lot less important rn
Anyone else notice in chapter 2 he takes off her mask, and then it's suddenly on again as she's about to take off his :') That...... seems like a pretty weird mistake to make. Unless the panels are mixed up, but it doesn't look like it.
Today I found out Mincheol is actually a synonym for delusional /j
