Ian could never truly be with Joe. He carries too much of his past with TJ, memories that still have weight, still define him. It’s not as simple as “moving on,” because what he had with TJ wasn’t one sided. It was real. They loved each other, and that kind of bond doesn’t just disappear.
People like to believe a new love can replace the past, but that’s not how it works. The past holds power because it gave meaning to who you are. Unless something breaks that bond completely, it stays with you.
Joe is kind, gentle. He is someone who could offer Ian peace, even healing. But healing isn’t just about comfort. Ian’s wounds are tied to experiences Joe never shared, moments Joe can’t fully understand or witness. And that matters. Because of that, Ian would keep drifting back into those unresolved parts of himself.
That’s why Ian could only truly heal next to TJ, not Joe. Not because Joe wasn’t enough, but because some wounds can only be held by the person who saw them happen.
So it’s not about who is better. It’s about who Ian can truly exist beside and that is TJ
I can’t believe I came across such a meaningful, beautiful manhua. It may seem like a typical plot at first, but the details change everything. The characters feel so real as if I’m watching a film rather than reading. It’s thoughtfully written, easy to follow, and seamlessly woven into the story.
Reading it felt like standing in a quiet scene.. a blue sky overhead, a cool breeze in the air, and the ocean stretching out in front of me somehow bringing old wounds back to the surface.
It was brilliant before that pointless misunderstanding, and the ending felt rushed. But I have to say that more than half of the chapters contained very expressive characters. I liked how each character was written with excellent insight, and how their underlying nature was revealed. Some expressions felt very realistic and engaging.
My main disappointment was their reason to go into that SS dungeon, which did not seem justified enough. The misunderstanding that followed also ruined much of the entertainment. Other than that, I found it really enjoyable and worthy both as a work of art and as an easygoing plot
YW will not remember what he said because of the drugs, and Seo In will naturally stay far away from him due to the conflict. I know Seo In can’t give up on YW, but he doesn’t have the mentality to face him yet. So he will take his time, and maybe even leave the country, but I think YW’s words will stay on his mind, and he will avoid him. As for YW, he won’t have the right access to Seo In. I think they will meet by accident after some time has passed. Both will be ready to start a new chapter and resolve their conflicts so I think in S3 we will see a future timeline. It will probably be YW who tries to reconnect with him.
