I know people are mourning right now, but I want to know your theory on where Garam goes from here.
He has nobody in the U.S. who isn’t somehow involved with Heejae, except maybe Valter. And with Youngjo’s possible comeback, he might end up going back to Korea, but that would basically mean saying goodbye to his current career. I really want to see Garam shining on his own on the biggest stage. What is he going to do in Korea? Military service? I mean, it would give us a two-year time skip lol
You know, Im a strong believer that a lot of things couldve been prevented if his parents had taken him to a child psychiatrist (or maybe idk some old fashioned asian parenting lol) instead of parading him around as a musical genius. The adults around him glazed the hell out of him and enabled his shitty behavior i mean look at how that brat was talking to his teacher back then? That audacity of his has always been outstanding. It mightve been tolerable when he was young but at 45 years old is just crazy. Being neurodivergent might be the root of some of it, but it can’t justify how terrible of a human being he is.
Not so long essay this time, but now I’m 99% sure that:
1. Nanjo was sexually deprived as hell during those months they were separated. The emptiness in his hole really drove him crazy lmfao. I bet he went through some sort of self-discovery, and one of the things he discovered was that he actually craved having a dick in his ass.
2. This may or may not be related to his savior complex, but this man highkey has a kink for pathetic displays lmfao. Back then, Sunhwa was playing the soft lover, while Mokyeon is straight up pathetic, which is why nanjo as sunhwa lover and nanjo with mokyeon right now feel completely different. He wasn’t even going to follow Mokyeon to his apartment in the first place, but Mokyeon’s snot and tears snapped something in him.
That last panel got me gasping for real... got me so giddy shhshshs
I anticipated heejae talking nonsense the moment he felt threatened, anticipated garam leaving too, and the note part as well, but I did not expect that last panel. Wow, he really said fuck YOU and that damn music!
That hag really had the audacity with that “Why did you provoke me?” monologue lmaoo it should’ve been “Why did you provoke Garam?” Heejae is lucky garam is kind enough, because if he did to you what he did to that poor piano, or did what you did to him you would’ve already joined that damn manager in the afterlife.
I’m beyond excited to see him teach Heejae some proper harsh lessons and finally stand on his own! Prove Heejae wrong when he said you’re nothing without him lmao if anything Heejae is actually nothing without him, after that monologue Heejae had, we’re about to witness a generational meltdown.
Poor Eva, though. That must’ve been scary seeing Garam like that.
This is the first manhwa where the majority of the audience on every platform ive encountered it on seems to prefer the side couple way more than the main one. I saw a hit tweet about it just a week ago too lmao like people don't hate the first couple but also don't have that many thoughts or impression on them.
Also, the cover on this site is misleading as hell lmao I blindly picked this one and was so confused when I opened the first chapter because the guy looked completely different from the ones on the cover
nope. it is that yokozawa. My very first BL! I was a little annoyed with Onodera even at my young age to comprehend how long they were draggingggggg it! Instantly gravitated more on Yokozawa and Kirishima. It felt the MC got flaws, was stubborn, annoying to others but overall a good hearted person. Rather than the overly common MC in romance who was a child-like type, crying lots, and skinny diva but almost always waiting for their prince charming; some strong traits but always the "awww, poor pushover MC, everything in the plot and everybody mistreats them, no worries, a loaded guy will save them and the enemies will get their karma/envy their love!". Yokozawa felt strong-willed in his career with a buffer physique to get sht done even without a love interest but still a vulnerable person for people who he cherishes. My favs are always good hearted strong willed ukes. Having the guts to do what is right and be brave for what they want despite the anxieties and dooms.
Didnt realize it until you mentioned it, but Jintae is for sure similar to Yokozawa, especially in their internal monologues. The main difference between them is that Yokozawa has this wild bear demeanor, while Jintae is giving tired adult lol. So I guess I really do have a very specific type of characters. I found the manga during covid and later got into the novels, and somehow found myself invested in Yokozawas story instead of the main one. Didnt even finish the manga, and apparently it's still ongoing lol
This grandpa better not say something like you are nothing without me again once he feels threatened when things start going down.
This is the main reason why I want an arc where Garam breaks free from him and pursues music where Heejae having no involvement, because no amount of domestic moments can make me forget how cruel, dismissive, and belittling he was when Garam tried to leave.
I know Heejae is the reason Garam developed his sound and why he has access to so many opportunities, nothing will change that and that's fine, but he is way too involved and has way too much power over Garam, both personally and professionally, even his manager works under Heejae’s command lmao so yes i desperately need a separation arc.
I think the story is really good at showing you that a relationship between a student and his teacher is bound to be unstable and shakey at best. Someone will have to feel less than the other, someone's pride will have to be hurt for giving up so much, someone will look so desperate trying to confirm the other's love.
The audacity to refuse to say “I love you” to your lover of 3 years, paint him as some kind of traitor and overbearing for expecting bare minimums from you after you’ve expected so many things from him, and then call it a cheap phrase after spouting some real cheap, dirty talk like “say that you love your teacher’s cock.” When I catch you Kim Heejae…
Anyway, the Season 5 finale is close, so i assume Season 6 will be angsty as hell, and I’m here for that
From the wip posts, it looks like they’ll play together? So maybe the season will end with Garam breaking things off with him after the performance
How long do the hiatuses between seasons usually last?




I wonder if the next update will be a special chapter, or if they're just going to cut those off and get straight to business by posting Chapter 6 episode 1 this time
I'm okay with anything.... Except for a 6 months - 1 year hiatus. The last chapter is loving rent free in my brain....
Author really ended this season with a bang! Truly 10/10 experience lol that conversation in the car was so intense, I felt like I was sitting in the backseat witnessing it firsthand, i genuinely felt like I was the one who got left behind when I saw the note especially because garam said it was not love woah, and the way I gasped when I saw the destroyed piano ahshhs that move was a statement for sure. Such a great season finale one that will stay with you for a long time
I wouldn't want to be in that car in that moment.... It was too tense it could cut. EXACTLY! ┗( T﹏T )┛for me it was also very damaging how Gaham asked the prof if he felt his suffering when they played and the the prof said he did. It's so damaging since the prof basically states he gives zero f*ck if he's hurting and technically established that their relationship is very one sided in a sense, the prof will prioritize his feelings, habits, nature/preference. Even the song they played... Their way of communicating to the other their feelings without words. They did communicate but, in the end none of Gaham!'s feelings were addressed. They were ignored! It was very much just the prof tunnel vision on his music and needs too.
Ngl I HOPE WE GET THE NEW CHAPTER SOON. The cliffhanger of this season is CRIMINAL.
