Couldn’t stop rereading when it first came out.. let it marinate around the time we found out about Yong-taek, came back, cried when Yong-taek gave up…. Amazing AMAZING twist. It’s just so good.
wouldn’t jaeha eventually die since he’s mortal? i could imagine this would almost be like reverse tgcf where the god is mourning his believer and waiting for him to be reincarnated
Well he is god, so even if he dies they can still be together in death, ghost, heaven, rebirth, for all of eternity, or that’s what I think. And what’s tgcf?
Tian Guan Ci Fu! or Heaven Official’s Blessing. it’s a chinese BL novel that also has a manhua adaptation with amazing art (but i think a while ago i saw it had some issues with the author that im not up to date about)
it has a plot pretty much like what i mentioned in my comment. it’s a love story between a god and their sole believer, with lots of angst, humour and sweet moments too.
i js saw someone who knows peak
manager gu turning out different to how howon used to believe in him was soo sad to read. finding out your superior who you looked up to was sexualising you and was actively orchestrating opportunities to take advantage of you is crazy. they look so hot together so yk what hell yeah
I was liking how their dynamic developed after never being able to make it past the first few chapters when I started this. I’m not so sure anymore..
I haven’t read the original manhwa in a long time, so I forgot this was a spin off of Producer Lee and his first romance, but I was getting intense deja vu while reading the first few chapters (esp when Jonghan said someone told him he looked handsome with his hair up).
I seriously rooted for him in The King of Home Cooking. He was so funny and a great second lead; he made my heart flutter a lot from his moments with the MC of that manhwa and won me over with their kiss on the rooftop. Him being a genius in highschool is also charming because of how silly and carefree he acts as a producer. I’m excited to see the rest of the story and I empathise with his love interest significantly. I love that his first love was detached and cold by first impression/soft at heart when Jonghan is extroverted and falsely nice (literal bystander of bullying). They’re a great match for each other.
i think their fizzled out relationship is completely realistic, and her inability to leave is even more understandable. they were married, she was pregnant, they were both happy and ready to grow as a family.
the grief from her miscarriage would have affected both enormously, mincheol’s disassociation and mc’s self blaming must’ve put a bigger toll on their relationship. his selfish withdrawal of money under their names while they were married, and her working tirelessly to rid of it estranged them even further.
to be honest, seeing mincheol imagine his life with her and their daughter as a family made me sad for what they could’ve been. nevertheless, it does not excuse what this author has decided to characterise him as. a bad person. he is resentful of what they are now, and has made himself believe his miserableness now is a product of her inability. he doesn’t realise how much she is actively doing for him, but im sure he will come to with immense regret.
mc on the other hand, has selflessly accustomised herself to this drudgery everyday. she believes bitterly things will revert back to what they once were, knowing mincheol changed because of their current circumstances, which further drives her to work, and drives her to remarry to experience the happiness she used to have with him in their youth.
i think her indulging in an act of selfishness for the first time in a long time (buying a singular rose) spurring “warmth” in mincheol’s heart is so interesting. we as the audience, and possibly even him, want her to be more selfish and love herself a little more. she’s a shell of who she once was, tired by the circumstances of their relationship. mincheol may cling to her desperately after she’s grown a spine, maybe because he loved her that vibrant way before her miscarriage, or he’s afraid of who he’ll be without her, but she’d only be able to remain that way without him.
I love you.
Wow
hes very narcissistic because hes putting the blame for their misery on her only instead of holding himself accountable too
