Imma be honest it's been so much time idec about the plot anymore, I just wanna see him confess and have this be over with
UGHH THIS STORY IS SO WELL WRITTEN I AM GOING TO BARK I LOVE PSYCHOLOGICAL STORIES
Why is the story trying so hard to villainize the ex like, he is right. In any other better written story he'd have been a positive influence to the mc but here it's framed like he's Satan incarnate for daring to think that JK is and asshole (which is true) and would throw Dan away in a heartbeat (which is also not a wrong assumption to make given JK's track record) but oh no he is so much worse than JK for daring to leech off of him.... a rich pro wrestler who got everything and doesn't gaf abt being leeched off of anyways...?
I had this same thought, it's too bad Dan is too helpless/hopeless to realize this smh
you guys say that like he said that for dan’s good, when in fact he’s just pissed off he’s been thrown away. yeah what he says makes sense but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a piece of trash lmao
The ex is definitely a piece of shit, but uh them assumptions are probably true, except it'll be different for dan because he's the mc. As per usual.
You’re wrong, he is saying it for Dan’s own good because he has been in Dan’s situation before. Also there’s nothing that makes him a piece of trash even if he is pissed (which he has every right to be anyhow). The way you’re talking about the ex is the same way many victims of domestic violence villainise the ex as the “crazy ex” for warning them that their partner would abuse them.
oh he’s definitely right about JK !
he’s not, he was literally fumbling. he was just trying to piss off dan, not help him in any way. you’re delusional. and I never said he was crazy lmao don’t get where you found that, that’s something horrible to tell someone, especially when I said that he was right but he just wasn’t saying it for the right reasons.
Yes, that's how the story is framing him. That's why I said that in any other piece of media he'd be a positive influence but in this one he is villainized because he is supposed to be the petty cRAzy eX even though what he is saying is objectively true and usually would be said by somebody out of concern rather than pettiness...
What I'm saying is: Him being framed as the crazy ex who is pissed at Dan doesn't work at all, most people in the comments are legit rooting for him lol
or maybe the author wasn’t trying to villainize him at all lmao, he has a great pont
The way the shading, bg, expression, etc. were drawn really makes it seem that way tho
The writing in this story sucks so much it's geniunly so bad it's good sometimes, I cannot stop hate reading it
Geniunly in what world would these bodyguards not understand that this man cannot speak english and they might need to get an interpreter, why are they so needlessly vile what's the purpose except to show that at this moment huge asshole JK is a saint in comparision to them akshually
JK would never even say such thing but the story called for it so lets gooo
And Dan falling in love with huge asshole JK makes no sense (from a writing standpoint in a manhwa that claims to have romantic components) because they only had a slither of romantic tension and almost all their encounters were forced sexual ones
Now if this were a psychological story it would make way more sense for him to "fall in love" with huge gaping asshole JK because it could be him mistaking this feeling of love with the fact that he is basically the only person who showed him common decency but otherwise is a huge abusive gaping asshole to him and he fails to rationalize that.
BUT IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A PSYCHOLOGICAL STORY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A ROMANTIC STORY
Mingwa really went "romance isn't dead!" and then proceeded to write Jinx
Like huh what the fuck did that piece of trash do for you to fall in love with him geniunly I want to know what Mingwa's thought process was
Also I said it once and I'll say it again but this story would be way more enjoyable if Dan was a piece of shit brat to JK and angel to everyone else, at least they would both be assholes to each other and a romance between 2 assholes makes way more sense than asshole x angel
Dan fell for him because Jaekyung was the only one to remove from his hell.. even though Jaekyung is toxic and also gives him, in Dan's mind Jaekyungs hell is better and kinder than the one he had with those loan sharks.
You ain't wrong. I agree
Me or OP
Sorry for the bad English
I’d like to add to the first reply, too. To flesh it out I suppose, for my own clarity as well.
I think in Dan’s pov, Jaekyung eased the financial burden on him -when his debt to the loan sharks was paid off and most of the terms in work contract with Jaekyung. Although Jaekyung could have been Dan’s star of misfortune, he was also welcomed charcoal in the snow. The stress he has to deal with related to finances is at least somewhat dealt with and has shifted to other factors (how he could be professional in treating mr joo, how he’s catching feelings with Joo,etc).
Dan’s timid and wants to repay his debt to Jaekyung so he probs thought that even though he doesn’t like it, he sees it as a compromise (his body, having sex) after what Jaekyung has done. Besides the salary, didn’t Dan mention that he gets harassed at work, too? Wherever he works at least, so in that regard, doesn’t make a difference working with Joo-just rather extreme since it’s like sex on call.
Oh, brownie points for Jaekyung when he got under the good graces of Dan’s granny. “Sweet” and “kind” to describe Jaekyung made me spit out my water. So perhaps because of Jaekyung’s attitude toward his granny, and for making the latter happy, it also justified or made enough reason for Dan to just stay with Joo.
And perhaps Dan is the type to eventually fall for someone through his body, after doing it with Jaekyung multiple times, not surprised he caught feelings, although it makes you want to facepalm if not hit yourself if he was being for real.
Introspection? Reflection? Ends xD
That's okay.
Bro this better be a one sided crush by the boy or smth or else I'm throwing hands
Idk if I accidentally disliked but I meant to like.
This manga feels like it was written by a queer person that was completly fed up with all the non-con and biphobia in BL and I really like that
Even with needing the pillow to prop up his butt. Like “finally”! Someone who actually understands the location of the human anus.
Was the story axed or something?? It just ended waaay too fast and it feels like there should have been more to come...
So I just bought this manga for 3€ at the second hand sextion of the comic/manga shop and it was very mid but like damn at least it was interesting and honestly we need more pirate yuri ngl
