i saw in a recc that theres a side couple?? ive been letting this marinate ever since it started but never got to it until i saw the side characters LMAOAOA so do they have their own story in this or is the story mainly focused on the main couple???
NOT WRITTEN BY ME BUT BY A RAEDER NAMED CALAMANSI:
Very angsty read with a long stretch of conflict and slow burn romance. "Sweet potato" if we go with slang terms. May not be to everyone's tastes but this kind of tear jerking angst is right up my alley lol so I might be biased!
A story of two broken people meeting each other at the wrong time and hard-earned love. There are themes of betrayal, sacrifice, devotion, and remorse. The tone is sombre throughout like the title suggests.
In my opinion, the characters do have depth despite the stereotypical rich ML poor MC setup. Even the misunderstanding trope is handled tastefully and doesn't feel so juvenile. The plot is interesting, though it is pretty cliche and nothing out of the realm for mafia trope. The lengthy flashback in the middle serves as a huuuge piece of the puzzle which explains how their relationship ended up where it did in the present.
It does take a little bit of patience to power through because the character development is slow. These characters are flawed. MC may come across as weak at first, but I think he's actually pretty strong-willed! He's just someone who's been dealt an unfair hand over and over again and beaten down by life. I wish he had more of a backbone because it hurts my heart as the reader. ML is an emotionally constipated jerk hiding under unresolved resentment, which makes it hard to love him at first tbh, but I came to understand him as the story develops. Also he's homophobic (internalized) so beware if that triggers you. Contrary to what some readers make of it, I actually loved the ending,
I'm so moved by the way MC loves so deeply, and how by the end he refuses to let that love become another form of self-sacrifice. The ML probably didn't suffer enough (lol), but I don't think that's what the MC wanted in the first place. He's never regretted loving him, he only asks for his love to be returned in kind. To him, he made those sacrifices simply because he loves and wanted to.
I think their resolution is about finally meeting each other eye to eye where love is no longer something only one of them carries, not about punishment to earn ML his redemption. The final scene was actually so beautiful and poetic to me I find myself thinking about it often :' (
TLDR; mafia drama with slow burn angst and unresolved feelings from the past
thanks for sharing!
Remember, the AUTHOR will MOST DEFINITELY USE THE EX AS A DRAMA STARTER TO ITNERFERE WITH THWIR LOVEY DOVER LIFE??? OR IS THIS ALREADY FINISHED UHM

There was a point in chapter 55 or 56(?) Where he said that "I wouldnt sleep woth other people" "i can take it, in the meantime" WHAT IS EH TRYING TK SAY????
It means he’s gonna take not being fully satisfied until MC builds his stamina
(≧∀≦)
This is literally so cute, I'm trying to find the novel TL but so far theres none help lol
Also, dw i read from a TL that apparently no matter how toxic/gaslighter San tries to be to our MC our mc just counters it lmao its so cute!!!! Theyre dynamic is literally, unrrquited love vibe from the seme's side
No, he's just watching btw saw it in the spoilers LMAO dw he has NOT done it with anyone else aside from our MC.
Bless you
Dohyun is a black bellied scheming egoistic BEACHHHH. ya'll think he has feelings for him rn??? WELL NOPE. HE IS SELF SERVING. hate him, thought he was a green flag but NOPE. read the novel and you'll get what I'm talking about, especially if you are able to look into the bigger picture of things.
to add on top of this, he will NOT be developing feelings for our MC until later on. right now, he's just enjoying his child-like adoration and affections towards him and HE KNOWS hehas liked him since he was 14 btw. ALSO, there's like an important plot point in the past that would be delved on later, that somehow both of them know, but it's treated as not really important?? girl. . . idk. Idk how to feel about Dohyun lmfao.
btw he actually knew who our MC was when they reunited. lol
Is this fr??? OH FCK
I neeed to know. Are they going to break up some time later on??? I neeedd a whole Dohyun chasing arc if what you're saying isss reaaal
I spoiled way too much, but yeah there will be a chasing arc!!
Noy really chasing but you get it, he'll try making it up to our baby
What chapter do you think we're in right now in the novel?
if i may ask is that near or still far?
Honestly you guys should read the novel if you're curious! I don't want you guys to experience feeling empty after getting spoiled by me or anyone else. The fun about novels getting adapted into manhwa/manhua/manga is that you can see the characters in action! It keeps you on your toes if you get what I mean ;;
It's not that near, but yes lol you'll see signs in the manhwa when its near lol
Is the novel title the same as this
Sorry I need to butt in but this is a bad take. Idk if OP didnt finish the novel or read something different or completely misunderstood the plot. Dohyun is intentionally depicted as sus but he is being framed/misunderstood. And that isnt just my take - it is part of the plot. A central part of the story toward the end will be explaining his side and clearing his name. He is very much in love with Wooyeon at this point. You are supposed to think he is sus now tho but it is part of the story. Just trust that he is a good guy and all will be explained.
Also, they already had the clarifying conversation that Dohyun knew who Wooyeon was upon their reunion (that he knew wooyeon was his student when they reunited in college). He is not hiding it. It happened during their clubroom conversation when they got together in ch 35. So everything about this comment is just incorrect and you can verify simply by rereading ch 35.
I do recommend reading the novel if you are interested in deciding for yourself, tho. It is available on readhive and chrysanthemum garden under the same name. Depending on which website you use the chapters are different. Readhive its around vol 3 i believe and on cg we're somewhere under the section "dawn."
To OP- it's fine to have your own opinions about whether you like or dislike characters but please stop spreading misunderstandings. I loved this story and read it several times so reading comments like this just sucks because you're impacting other people's reading experiences with things that are quite literally wrong and can easily be proven wrong. You're not just sharing your opinion but stating incorrect things as if they are spoilers. Please refrain. Thank you.
it's not me but thankyou for telling me
Mmm..okay okay, we'll check the novel from the beginning and see it for myself.
i wish i can like a comment also thank u for that website drop
