I kinda had a hunch when i-won kept roping our boy into things with his supposed lover but WOW I did not expect him to be that bad a person. I mean I love the imagery the artist can draw thanks to that but he's such a selfish bastard and I feel it's so well written too because it's not that explicit until the reveal. The definition of "having his cake and eating it too" and I can't decide if it's him keeping seonwoo so that he has his loyal lapdog or if they're codependent and he wants to keep him as his mistress.
Like sure the blond is probably more of a psycho but he's a loyal and mostly respectful psycho so he's clearing the bar (it's on the floor)
Ok so I started reading the novel, only 40 chs are translated and you can find it in novel updates under the same name. The pacing is mostly 1:1 with the manhwa
I actually really like this. Speaking in terms of just the manhwa I like that it was ambiguous how i-won was acting until we hit that turning point scene where he just says what he knows. A lot of stories don't do as good a job imo of that ambiguity and then the certainty.
Speaking in terms of the novel as non-spoilery as can be. Nothing huge has really happened yet but it's fitting that i-won acts the way he does.
He's a chaebol that's been giving everything and promised his own lackey in seonwoo so of course he feels like these are all entitled to him and gets angry the minute these things fall out of his control. Especially tinged with a sense of needed perfectionism because he's fighting a chaebol succession battle. He's a well-done antagonist for this kind of story, very realistic
I mean... I'll live. I just...... thought we'd be getting more? Why is it sometimes that an author doesn't stick the landing even with such an interesting story. I'm hoping we get side stories at least but I think this story would definitely benefit from one more season or even half a season, just something more for the loose ends or continuing in this regression, we don't even know if they'll get a happy ending after all this or if seonwoo somehow can die another way. It's not enough
