Why is it that every scene involving the MC getting beaten, raped or downgraded is always downplayed to make it look like it wasn't much of a deal in the first place. Also I haven't read the novel but so far I can't seem to like yena as much either, yes she's polite towards ryujin and genuinely cares and adores him, but there were times in the previous few chapters with her knowing that he was beaten by the ml yet she only questions him and scolds him, and thats end of story. Ryujin has to deal with all kinds of shit, and she doesn't even consider talking to her cousin to stop. Or it could simply be the adaption not exploring the specific scenes in more detail.
My general view on this manhwa: first of all it's full on cliches. Like it just so happened to be that the MC is a pitiful gay twink who's buried in heaps of debt with a pitiful background and hateful parents who leech off of him. On top of that he's a pushover who just so happened to fall in love with the worst kind of bastard: the male lead who also happens to be; a homophobe, rapes the MC, drugs, does gang work, a murderer and also an overall red flag. LIKE SOMEHOW, with the ml treating him the way he is, he still manages to fall in love and goes back to find him........ I somehow should be empathizing with the MC but the plot direction is so predictive that I have myself having the ick. Ofc lots of people might not have the same opinion but it's just my own view of things... I wouldn't discourage people reading this... But for me it's overall falling in between me dropping or a mid story.
Again my opinion of things.. U can disagree.
