huehuehue... man, I can't express just how much I love *the* shift when the unrequited top starts to go simp -- the artist did such a great job with that man's facial expression bc you can see the tender ache at certain moments that was never there before. *chefs kiss* lets goooo baby were cookin' with gas now
GIRL WHAT. I just?? son of a bitch. okay, listen. I wasn’t going to write a whole dissertation, but I’m crashing out, so fuck it.
These people are so beyond fucked I would not allow a single one of them to advise me about anything more consequential than where to order my goddamn dinner.
And I don’t particularly feel one way or the other about Lee Jae. I understand the trauma projection, blah blah blah. I have no emotional attachment to this man. But what I would not give for five minutes alone with bitch-bride-princess-villain Consuela Banana Hammock.
And not even to fight her. What I need is a whiteboard and answers.
Because this grippy-socks-coded queen didn’t just hurt his feelings. She designed an independent psychological warfare campaign, successfully altered his entire understanding of intimacy, probably ruined the concept of receiving gifts for him forever, went off and MARRIED somebody else, and then had the absolute gall to remain emotionally tethered to him herself.
Ma’am.
WHAT WAS THE RESEARCH QUESTION??!!
At this point I need her to sit down and explain the methodology. Was the desired outcome to make Lee Jae incapable of trusting anyone ever again? Ensure he spends the rest of his natural life interpreting affection as a prelude to betrayal? Marry another man for enrichment? Remain personally devastated by the consequences of the devastation she deliberately caused?!
Like, GIRL. YOU CANNOT BE BOTH THE ARCHITECT AND A CASUALTY OF THE BUILDING COLLAPSE.
I really believe that this manhwa's universe is just a literal adaptation of actual hell on earth. This shit stresses me tf out.
Anyway, see you next week.
ugh I loved reading HG’s perspective (moreso in novel bc there are a few chapters in his perspective) and its written so fucking beautifully I just??? literally one of my favorite things about their relationship is how often their thoughts run in parallel without either of them knowing it. they can hear each other without realizing it. it’s almost paranormal, and I’ve never read anything that managed to show two people as true mates without making it feel unrealistic...they are the real definition of OTP.
their separation hurt so much more too bc there was never one person walking away clean while the other suffered. they were both carrying the same relationship around like they were the one who had ruined it. and then HG’s POV will give you all of that emotional devastation and, with absolutely no transition whatsoever, this man is basically like: anyway. wife.
he saw Won-i and spiritually filed the marriage certificate immediately ACKKK I fucking love them sm
(also hoping that this adaption doesn't skimp on the NSFW bc these two are fucking ANIMALS)







my guy you better pound that ass after that little stunt you just pulled.
