i feel like i remember a comment a bit ago saying how it didnt make sense for the MC to even tolerate the ML, since he had such strict morals. however, this season has clearly shown that MC is becoming quickly disillusioned about the system he works in. his family represents the more conservative side of the spectrum (i.e., narrow ideals about morals and ethics) vs the ML who is the opposite side, but neither are inherently evil. i’m curious to see which will come first: him passively allowing the ML to make things happen for him (perhaps unethically) until he is forced to confront his own complicity OR abandoning his current ideals and the system to take matters into his own hands. i kind of hope it’s the latter since he’s holding ppl at gun point lol

i’m actually glad that the artist made a point to show that Taeui is flaccid the entire time. his internal dialogue also honors what he is going through in the novel. i get that their first encounter was dub con/non con but this interaction is different and it’s shown as such. this kind of shows the “darker” side of yandere pairings (unmarred by pretend fluff and flattery over obsession). doesnt make it better that we all have to sit through weeks of this sh*t but still.

first, the translation around him realizing he might be gay is giving internalized homophobia ㅠㅠ also with the heavy bones thing i’m pretty sure jeowoon (?) was calling Yijo (?) a pig… idk why it wasn’t translated but just spelled out in english

maybe i’m misremembering, but i could’ve sworn the ML mentioned that he takes birth control and multiple suppressants. if so, in theory he shouldn’t be as worried about pregnancy but y’know what ABO isnt exactly science based so

everyone talking about his fuck ass outfit is so funny LMAO

i hope whoever commented last time wondering if the jizz would go everywhere in his stomach or if his organs were there, just simply transparent, is satisfied lol

y’know what Nanjo DOES have beautiful balls, i’ll give him that. i cant comment on the smell like some people but i can agree that what’s his face might be onto something xD

why was this actually so good? ㅠㅠ like yeah there were occasional plot holes or HUH moments, but maybe i missed the tags but i didn’t expect to be reading a dark almost psychological thriller!! i’ll mark this for spoilers in case someone hasnt finished reading it.

the cult plot was genuinely insane but also felt relevant. religious cults are a pervasive issue in Korea and if someone wanted to watch a Korean drama about it i would recommend “Save me” starring Seo Yeji. what was fascinating about this cult, is that it almost became karmic retribution for Yisin. as a character he’s deeply flawed, but not unlikeable. while being unknowingly manipulated he makes a very BAD choice that leads to the cult as it currently exists: fanatics obsessed with immortality believing that engaging in cannibalism will earn them it. he becomes consumed by the very monster he created and realizes in each “timeline” (i use this to loosely refer to his stretches of memory erasing) that what he himself started, is not reproducing the same environment that harms helpless children like he once was. his revenge is generally self serving and driven by guilt and a sense of personal responsibility. he is of course not the only one to be blamed and was sadly surrounded by literal psychos. and when it “resolved” his life isnt magically fixed and the villains still exist.

i also somewhat appreciated that the SA scenes seemed relatively intentional from the author’s end. yeah, it’s not THAT cute to have it be slapstick comedy. however, in the scene at least the MC wasn’t terrified. whereas later you see Yeonhyeop snap and what was appreciated is he didnt truly make it seem like he was overcome with desire and “couldn’t help himself” which is what we often see. we see Yisin’s terror, his struggle, and that Yeonhyeop is truly obsessed with him and while he says it’s love he also admits he desires to dominate someone he feels he should be entitled to. in this sense and given their dynamic, it felt like a relevant and thoughtful choice (mind you i’m never actually a fan of SA being used as a plot device specifically, if a story presents itself as CNC/dubcon slop that’s an entirely separate matter).

i also really appreciated that in Yisin’s quest to right his wrongs we can see that no one is truly/wholly “good” in the story. generally they are morally grey or downright twisted, but capable of occasionally doing decent or good things that are still ultimately self serving. but i digress.

it’s complex! thoughtful! exciting!! i would love to own this. it’s a solid 8/10 for me.

call me Gyeol’s biggest hater i guess? and i’m sorry guys be he has to die too. enough is enough. he can go be in the dirt with teacher

like he’s always been manipulative but i appreciate that he is also complex. his family sucks! hope he starts treating MC better soon
