Just a warning for any babe confused or wanting to jump into this: you gotta have a heart of stone and the top (seme) is a huge black flag. The uke - bottom - is the gorgeous blonde, and the black haired boy - the seme is obsessed with him. That obsession is very twisted as his "love" is to see the bottom crumbles, to see the proud, beautiful, confident and brave uke lost it all. Seme comes from yakuza family, so dude put pressure on his friends, threatens on his single mom, and basically force uke to be SA-ed by himself as well as his underlings. So yes, I'm saying there is grape and super unconsensual, no romance feelings from uke to seme so far (and in the long future I hope). Seme doesn't give a damn if uke is grape by others - and I think he initiated that a bunch - because again, his so-called love is pulling the shining person down to the mud with him. I heard some theories on the seme having to "serve" customers too due to their family business, thus he also wanna drag the uke down, and that is his "love". The uke's personality and beauty really makes me adore him, but for my sanity, I did take some time off from this series, so read at your own risk.
Basically the current season is when they meet again years after they broke up, with Dohu works in production team and Juheon has become an actor. Dohu still very much has feelings and tries to win Juheon back, while Juheon just hides his emotions and shuts down his whole communication, refuses to hear, believe or thinks anything because of his trauma and fear due to his past*cough* still rude af. Juheon has a plan to destroy everything his aunt has tried to manipulate him into, even if the cost means himself also is destroyed. Dohu pushes a lot to convince Juheon and help him from troubles, while he is literally a walking dead with severe imsonia (probably depression too) and lack of eating. All of the tension, fighting, events have led to the current, where Dohu just collapsed during a fight with his highschool bully (now Juheon's fellow actor on a project) and now Juheon suddenly hear from doctors that Dohu might suffer more than he could imagine.
With the lifestyle that Dohu had, I expected even worse from the doctor reports ngl. My boy legit looks like he rised from death and could be blown away by the wind every time he showed up
Oh my Dohu baby, my Shayla.... I mean I waited for Juheon to realized Dohu had his mental problems, but damn didn't see it coming out by my baby being sent to a hospital
Clover is so cute and I adore how the family/ storyline makes so much sense. I read some others that put children MC under her situation just because of some very poor reasons, and the love expressed for the child seem so forced, which only adds to the cliche reincarnation. But this is a gem because she is genuinely a baby, her family loves her so much that they look for ways to to get her to stay (and when reunited with her, the fear of hurting Clover scares them every day), and she is not forced to go through some freaking exams/ unnecessary hardship just because. The only thing I might have an opinion about is the ML (I think). I mean, Clover is too precious and her family are so gorgeous that the boy looks... okay-ish at best, kinda dull ngl. Other than that, I wish I found this completed because super loving this
I mean it's easy to judge the MC since we ain't in his shoes (and the manhwa toned down lots of internal struggle) but he truly loves the ML, and is true to his feelings. I like that because when he doesn't think he is ready, he rejects dating the ML even though the boy is cute, rich and likes him. It's far better than accepting confessions so you can forget a heartbreak, imo. For the crush to I-won, hardly anything can be justified, but MC lived in an environment that he is never valued. And ironically, the only person that "gave a damn" to him was I-won, the same dude that he was taught to serve. That attachment is not easily removed even when deep down you know something is wrong. So is MC sometimes an ass? Yeah. Is he THAT much of an ass? That's another story. I think everyone would agree the biggest ass is I-won tho
It breaks everything in me seeing Enzo childhood, as I have always loved children. I do wonder what happened with Enzo's mom, if she passed away or just left. Either way, no child -nobody - deserve such harsh treatment
I understand how seeing two hot, intelligent men is intense, but damn the switch comments are getting wild. Especially when they are inherently trying to complain that others are just "not ready" for switching. Sounds like they aren't ready for BEING POLITE. Do you walk up to couples saying "hey, I think you two are switching since you look like it. No matter what you say, that's gonna be the truth because I want what I want and I don't care about you"? Girl, I'm sitting here not because I hate/ love switch but because I love me a strong power bottom and honestly this dynamic is just my type. It's a preference, not fear of switching. If I saw dynamics I don't like, I shut up and went away. It's called having dignity and giving yourself grace. So why can't we all do the same? Nobody says it can't be a switch, and the couple is gorgeous, but the intention of author is very clear. You can accept it and move on, or continue to make a fuss and just unintentionally make people uncomfortable with you and your preferences, and then blame people. Btw sweeties, I feel it in my soul how you want to spread the beauty of what you like to others, but don't put your ideal over others. Don't discriminate when you don't mean to
This. Relationship goal right here. Also, as an enfj, I soooo aspire to be like the MC
Not my ass here from 2020 and check this every month for new update. I have waited Eve in his full demon mode FOREVER. Still love them tho
Short summary: Uno (Rian) works for a company that sells valuable information. He play soft to continue finding sus info that can be sold, while his company hide away. His boss found a new "buyer" who wants to get dirty info about the sus group Loren was in, and ask Blondie to let Loren catch him, suggesting Uno about this comeback. Uno get the upper hand now with new evidence he collected in secret. Loren is at his mercy now and have to play his game, showing up at this meetup (which is pretty much a trap) or sitting there and wait to be put into jail once the info get out. You're welcome

Some might think MC kinda dumb for having a crush on the red flag dude (lol been there), but lowkey it is very much understandable. The manhwa is sweet and lovely, so it doesn't reflect as much but MC's whole family is tied up with the dude. The guy is superior, the priority. That thought is seared into the memory and thoughts of MC from a very young age (I mean MC's traditional family holiday is spent going to that guy's place because he is their boss) The novel illustrates somewhat better at the thoughts and feelings going through MC's head. And honestly, it's kinda like an unconscious Stockholm Syndrome and so subtle you really have to read between the lines. Still, it does make you feel some frustration seeing MC like that lol ngl. I love MC and ML tho so I let that slide
Wish I got a dollar for every time wanting to punch I-won(Lee won) during the novel and webtoon.
Lmao I'm still cracking up how MC clearly fell in love HARD and not realize it. He and ML are really match made in heaven. Love my yearning kings
This piqued my interest so I read the novel, and I adore the main couple. I don't understand why some people complain about MC so much in the first few chapters here though, like god forbid he has one sided love and it is hard to move on? Come on, chat. Get your mind out of the gutter. He has a good character and nice development overall, and deals with so much that it is honestly impressive he handled himself so well mentally. He is not perfect, but bashing him and drop the story when it barely started, I say your loss not mine.
