Hmm I think it's cuz thr story startrf out feeling light-hearted and jokey between the characters so when it suddenly turned serious and the rape scene was included, it felt like a smack to our face. Like, ok yes, these are mafias and cartels so that move and worse things done actually makes complete sense, however, the story started off being light despite that so it kinda felt like 2 genres mixed but not mixed well.
Why is the mum acting like she's not the reason for their breakup? Tf?
Gosh this manhwa is making me wrack my brain. All I know for sure is that the ML is the dragon or a vessel for the dragon. The grandma said to keep it secret so maybe the elders don't know or maybe they do and are taking advantage of it. I feel like I'm way off base but are the main family trying to secure their position of power by doing evil deeds for rich people and wanting to USE the demi-wyrm for their deeds, and then grandma disagreed and realized her grandson would be in danger next because he has a "pure soul"
Rauman doesn't seem to understand why Illay is the only one called Riegrow and the fear behind that name ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I love how there's a huge pool of stories based on stockholm syndrome but stockholm syndrome isn't even realb
there are many cases of stockholm syndrome in real life search it up. i myself had a similar situation where its hard to hate that person smh even tho its wrong and abuse ends up becoming erotic.
Are you baiting or do you really think Stockholm syndrome isnt real, despite the many studies on it.. ??
It's genuinely not. While people can develop emotional attachment, loyalty, protectiveness and dependency to abusers as a survival response. The specific concept of Stockholm syndrome as a "pyschiatric illness" is very disputed and not acknowledged despite popularity. The term was originally coined by Nils Bejerot based on a 1973 bank robbery in Sweden where hostages appeared to be sympathetic to their captors and distrustful of police but one of the victims, Kristin, later came out after the study was published that there was a miscommunication/misunderstanding. She and others felt the police were escalating the danger for the captors and were simply playing along to survive. Stockholm syndrome as a clinical diagnosis has very weak evidence and as such, is not in the DSM, or recognized as a psychiatric disorder. A lot of the motivation behind stockholm syndrome was used to frame victims of abuse (often women at the time) for falling for their abusers and thus digging their own grave. Of course things like trauma bonding, attachments and things can still happen but it's usually explained by other things and so, "stockholm syndrome" itself isn't real
Yes, it's called trauma bonding (a paradoxical emotional attachment that develops between a victim and an abuser) and it's real, the whole point with 'Stockholm syndrome' is that where this name came from is incorrect, as that situation in Stockholm and rubbery have nothing to do with trauma bonding, it was even documented that psychologist back then didn't even interview her etc., this is why this naming should not be used, trauma bonding is the correct one, but regarding to this series, totally agree, that was definitely trauma bonding
I cannot lie. It's very hard to like the maim character and I'm still in the early chapters. I just get this super sense of being creeped out. I get that there are people who idolize and follow everything their idol does but once that crosses the line, it needs to stop. He's basically an active stalker, is in an art course and is constantly plagiarising and personally plagiarism sickens me. I guess it's because I used to be the victim of this kind of copying before.
Garam's pissing me off because he's just passing off his own traumas and feelings onto Jaeyhuk. In reality, he's running away because he's scared of being put in that situation again. That everyone including Jaehyuk's family will blame him for his downfall by being "turned gay". He wants a relationship but he's also self-sabotaging himself from achieving his own happiness and he's hurting Jaehyuk in the process of it. The worst part is he doesn't even realize that he's protecting himself and thinks is decisions are righteous because he's doing it for Jaehyuk so communication isn't even possible.
This drama started when Garam net Jae's mother and she convinced him that Hae will soon grow tired of him and dump him. He let her dictate the relationship, and stopped trusting Jae. Ironic how Garam's first bf, things went to shit because he denied the relationship and blamed Garam. Now things have gone to shit because his wants to acknowledge the relationship. Also the former homophonic assho.e wants to be Out, while the lifelong gay dude doesn't.
Ikr. Like, I understand his anxieties, but I thought he would have figured this out after everything that went down with the ex. But he's somehow gone in a circle and is back at the starting point but facing backwards
So many ways this could have gone and yet almost every sexual encounter is assault. Even the mc calls it assault. Love? Mother fucker you don't rape someome you love. Worse part? All his sexual acts are like wanting to do it in public and humiliation kink etc. Even in the bdsm world - these kind of kinks are practice with safe words and good communication. Such a shit way to develop their originally wholesome relationship.
