i genuinely need that ugly old man to fuck off already. mc and ml both have their issues but that creepy old man gives me such an ick.
He's not ugly But worry not, he's meant for someone else already.
now you capping cause that mtf is fine. creep fine shit nonethelesss.
Can anyone who has read the novel please just spoil me and let me know if the third wheel is going to be an issue? I'm on ch. 33 but I really dislike love triangles and I'd rather just drop it altogether if anything happens between him and the mc. Pls and ty.
Don't worry till the season there is no issue from him
Like everyone else, I'm also assuming we'll be getting long, timeskip-centric stories. While the main story ending does feel somewhat rushed, there is unfortunately not much more that can be explored while they're still bbs in terms of the Alpha x Alpha dynamic, since it's clear that they get along just fine when it comes to day-to-day. So, I'm guessing it'll jump to either college or beyond and we'll get to see them exploring their dynamic... there, LOL. I do kind of love how easily they get along and how it doesn't feel forced. And how ML tries so hard to act tough but he's just a ultimately a sweet boy in love. They both are, haha. I would've loved to see a bit more high school fluff from them and maybe their awkward firsts like first proper date or how they navigated being in a secret relationship, lol.
I do hope that the whole family drama is further explored within the side stories too, ngl. I still feel a bit like Hyesung's trauma was dug up and used as a minor prop when there was so much potential there to dig deep and actually show nuance. That was, still, one of my biggest disappointments with an otherwise fine, fluff BL. If the author didn't intend to tackle that head on and actually do it justice, they should've just not gone into it at all.
Unfortunately, that whole mother drama thing just made so many people (rightfully, imo) get super defensive over Hyesung, who is already so deeply misunderstood by the general reader. This, as a consequence led to a wave of angry readers being very antagonizing over Byul... and his shit dad Dojin. (Fuck Dojin, even if I'm ultimately neutral on them being together. It's not that he's a shit person. It's just that the author lets him get away with such nonsense sometimes.) But I do worry that Byul was kind of caught in the cross-fire of that and the general reader's perspective on him soured in a way that can be forgiven with time, but not entirely forgotten. I don't think it's entirely the kid's fault that he wanted a relationship with his grandma. If anything, I feel like he was just a victim to Dojin's headassery (that man has such a flawed sense of egoism masked as savior complex, but that's a rant for another day). Like yeah, Byul should've had more caution, but this is a kid we're talking about. The fact that he was able to realize he was wrong and apologized matters. Though, it was such a strong misstep on the author's part. They basically threw their own mc under the bus by wrongfully pitting him against the ONE character every single reader is obviously going to be protective over.
Anyways, Byul is just a kid that made a mistake and Hyesung is a sweet parent that has grown so wonderfully and I love them and am ultimately at peace with how the story turned out. Also, I love Siwoo and I hope we get to see more of him as he opens up to Byul pls and ty. they're adorable.
The SA ruined the entire BL for me. The ending was also just... terrible. I am unadding it from my lists and pretending it never happened because. Nah. not worth it. Not even worth acknowledging, imo.
The way people are so eager to excuse Jaekyung's past behavior just because he had a shitty childhood is so bizarre to me. As if Kim Dan didn't also have a shitty childhood, yet he's been consistently kind throughout. If anything, this new ch. shows that despite his shitty dad, Jaekyung DID have good people around him that showed him kindness and pulled him out from the hell he was living in. And yet he still CHOSE to become a horrible person instead of learning the lesson that was quite blatantly being shoved in his face. After this, nobody can even use the excuse that he wasn't around good people as to know how to be good himself, lol. And yet everyone is just purposefully being obtuse or twisting the narrative to fit their delusions. I can excuse this being a badly-written, nonsensical guilty pleasure for people, but the way so many are actively bending backwards trying to pretend Jaekyung is suddenly cleared of all wrong-doing and a green flag, or even a yellow flag, is insane. It's okay to like fucked up media! It's okay to root for the villain. But let's not pretend a villain isn't a villain just because you find them hot. Delulu behavior.
PREACH!!!
I stay for Dan. He has been consistently kind. My dream is seen Jaekyung opening his mail and there is an invitation for the wedding of Dan with another person.
If jaekyung is not handsome, they will drop this immediately and rate it 1 star. Hihi. (≧∀≦)
Sorry kinda have to disagree with the comparison between Dan and joo’s childhood both sucked yes but no way NEAR identical lol. Dan’s is said yea, but he was raised nurtured and loved from his grandmother and gave that back. Joo didnt, all that he was given was beatings, harsh reality checks and what we could assume tough love. We obviously don’t know much just because this is just the beginning of his whole childhood arc. Other than that, pretty much agree. It’s clear what that author is doing. Trying to make people pity and justifying his actions. I think there should also be clear distinction between justifying acts and understanding the character story. No one should go “aww so this is why he’s this way now, poor him” when it should be “ah so this is why he’s a pos, makes sense. Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” you know? Like you can understand the character’s story without trying to force the narrative that his actions were justified
I wish someone would translate the sequel for Ch. 1. It's called Retsujou Fragrance and was released in 2012 and I can't even find the raws online... OOF... maybe somedaaaay.
I need that creepy old man to go away already. i don't know why the author keeps thinking we want him around. can't he fuck off.
Literally Jesus Christ I hate love triangles
