The most realistic part of this college is them going to the same bar every time because I swear no matter how you try to plan you end up at the same place every time
Lowkey that flashback hit me a little too close to home, it's kinda surprising to see a manhwa character have both the same childhood problem and coping mechanism (the escapism not the... the raunchy stuff) as yourself when engaging in escapism.
I'm so endeared with this couple, ideum specifically. I hope he can get past that trauma the way I'm working through my own. I love it when authors write such real-feeling characters just a crazy coincidence to read one that reflects yourself
I know yumin loves him but I don't want any darn tigers near my cat son.
Put me in there, I'll hit him with the chaebol mother stack of cash to leave my son alone
In the clerk we are all our kitty's mothers
What's this dramatic story beat? I don't remember there being a truck here ready to isekai them off
Nah this is a horror story legitimately
Totally horrific, but instead of pushing this person away, they tend to let the ml hug the FL because of... Some reasons I don't understand ... Feelings and such things... I am not human it seems ..
I mean, I consider it a part of the horror. It's more realistic than a lot of things, most abusers aren't abusive and evil 100% of the time and that's what keeps victims in a loop
So you consider that he hasn't stopped the loop yet and she is inside and thinking she has the control of the situation, right? Maybe you are right.
I've been jumping into conclusions too fast lately. Let's see what happens. Thanks!
That segment when ml is talking about seeing her in his dreams was incredible. Sure this is formulaic, I've seen this trope a dozen times, but this is well-executed for the trope.
I'd recommend very much, it's not perfect or special in any way but it is actually very sweet and loving and ngl sometimes this trope is written so hollow with just a male lead who is possessive and puts the woman through hell. This is not that
I think the male lead is kinda interesting in the fact that he both wants our mc to date him but still believes that he wants to know the results of this experiment with names he's running on himself
Like this is actually interesting use of the trope and miscommunication, ml doesn't know that he cares more about dating mc than he believes and mc is scared to get too involved because he sees ml as a floozy (not wrong, that man's been dating around on a whim so I can actually get the fear). Interesting pair up
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
Ahhh so its more like ownership than love. Good i was feeling kinda sad for himbahahahshshshshsh
I'm not that far in but chapter 6 to chapter 9 was this fun little loop ij the storytelling. I'm obsessed with that, it's so interesting. I also just love mok hyeon for now, really hope nothing happens that makes me dislike him
