All 3 of these men are assholes in their own way
Mok for even thinking that whatever his feelings are for Nanjo trumps the way he's been acting. Childhood trauma aside, you don't get to fuck with people then just say "but I did it for you!!" Bro! Nanjo is grown ass man, he doesn't need someone to "save him" if he didn't ask for it. I dislike people that always trying to "save" people then turn around to throw that shit back in your face. Mok needs to heal and back off Nanjo and let him figure his shit out. But we'll see if this pendejo actually listens. Also that ass whoopin look like it hurt lol
Now Nanjo...while is the most innocent of the 3 because he was being used for his money and put in a place to please his "boyfriend" (putting boyfriend in quotations because I don't believe either of them actually tried to label this) however he wanted. He is not some young boy that doesn't know any better. My guy is a multimillionaire that runs a very established family owned company, he isn't stupid or someone that can be manipulated easily. Hell he has more power in this trio than Sunhwa and Mok combined. He's older, wiser, well educated, and loaded; there's no way in hell he doesn't have the money to research his lovers. Plus he is on the DL, no way this man is operating on having a male lover without precautions. Now I don't know what the author is setting this up for so we'll see if Nanjo is completely innocent but the way he reacted to the news of Sunhwa playing him didn't sit right with me. He was too calm, I feel like he didn't or doesn't care that he was being used because I feel like he also was using them both too. He was exploring his sexuality but he began liking his dynamic with Mok too much and lost himself in this twisted game they were playing.
Sunhwa...I don't have much to say bout him because he's not that pulling of a character to me. I love a eat the rich character though lol bro was getting his cake and eating it too (and getting his cakes clapped by two fine men lol...living a dream lmao). But my biggest gripe with him is that while he has the right to be pissed at Mok for seeing his sugar daddy on the side without telling him, he doesn't have the full right to be piss at Nanjo. Boy was using that man for his money and actively "cheating" (again they didn't established shit in this relationship). You don't have to right to be high and mighty sweetie, you're not innocent in this game sadly you ended the one on the losing end and that sucks lol
Overall these three need to stay away from each other in real life but this is a Manhwa so lol. Also, I really hate characters that use kink and forget all the rules that come with it. If I was Sunhwa I would've beat both they asses because TWICE, TWICE they almost suffocated him.
THX for this comment, I completely agree with it! You literally broke down every single detail about each character that I was too lazy to bring up.
Lemme just say, that dummy Nanjo literally said 'I don't need saving' and explicitly made it clear that Mok-yeon didn't NEED to worry about him or protect him from Sunhwa. First off, because he never even asked for it, and second, because it wouldn't have ruined his life in the first place!
Meanwhile, the whole damn game was built on HIM secretly trying to save Sunhwa from an 'abuser'... when in reality, the entire story was completely in his own head! Sunhwa NEVER asked him to step in, plus he didn't need any of this BS!
There’re literally only two explanations for this guy: either he’s a first-class mastermind manipulator, or he was simply a total dumbass looking for an excuse to justify enjoying cheating and submitting to a hot, toxic guy, lmfao!
But the absolute truth is, he was lowkey using BOTH of them just to explore his sexuality, his hidden desires, and how far he was willing to take the whole experience.
Exactly! My guy is a willing participant in this chaos. Plus now that you said it out loud; he's also a hypocrite because he was labeling Mok-Yeon as abusive and trying to "save" Sunhwa from him. Like you sais, Sunhwa didn't asked to be rescued, he's completely content in his life. That's what makes me annoyed, like how dare you get mad at Mok when you were absolutely doing the same damn thing; plus labeling him as abusive which is messed up.
He definitely gives me "Pretty Woman" vibes if you know the movie. Trying buy and change the life a pretty and young sexually driven man, becoming his white knight. Like dude, be for real here lol
That’s exactly the double standard I’m talking about! I’m done with these hypocritical characters.
Yo Biwan is fucking glorious to look at man. The uniform with the fucking earring
ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
I don't care if he is a loan shark at this point, take whatever you want; as long as you eat your side dish well Mr. Officer ლ(´ڡ`ლ) lmao
He's always been a beautiful OC but this side story is giving me life. And Minchan is still such a beauty
Whoop that trick!! Drag his ass up and down that dungeon (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yeon looks fine ass hell in that long coat with that cig...
Kihoon forever ready to bust it open for his man, the min he sees Yeon; I swear he hears
My man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby
Dickin me down, spoilin me, drivin me crazy ლ(´ڡ`ლ) lmao
One thing bout Shin...he ain't listening to his man for shit lol
Jay says go left, he goes right, Jay says stay put, my boy drives into a gang fight
╮(￣▽￣)╭
I kind of like that Jungkook became a bit forgettable as Hyunjin fell for Chanyoung because to me it proves the Hyunjin was really only relying on his crush for his hyung to make him into this big figure in his life.
Jungkook even said he isn't that good of a person because he knew Hyunjin's feelings and still lead him around just to avoid his own bs. The hint of the guy he's looking for is obvious the Jungkook has a more different past.
Chanyoung and Hyunjin fit so well together: it was easy to see how they would fall from the grumpy misunderstood "playboy" to the sunshine good boy who wears his feelings on his sleeves. It's very cute story, the 10 year skip with their dog seriously made my heart swell.
While added side stories are nice. I'm also not shocked if they get none because this is a such a through and through love that anymore would just be filler. I don't want a Cherry Blossoms issue (if anyone is currently reading the new "side/season 4")
I do hope we get a Jungkook and mystery man story though.
I was Hella confused when I saw jungkook I but I get what you mean lol
Lmao sorry wrote this on my phone and didn't see that it autocorrect for Jungkook from BTS lol
Jake gives zero fucks about who sees him at this point. He's loudly claiming his man like the prize he is!
This whole Manhwa is about drug addiction; Jake and Ross are two types of addicts.
Ross is a spiraling addict that is constantly chasing his fix and is never satisfied due to never having the original high (Shin being his best high yet) and you see in his mannerisms how he's not functioning correctly, is high strung, and becoming increasingly dangerous.
While Jake is a high functioning addict; from the outside you wouldn't be able to see much of issue. Think old Hollywood actors that snort just enough coke or pops pills to stay alert.
He's well behaved and quick on his feet but you notice the moment he can be near Shin, he's immediately touching him, kissing and or licking his skin...he's getting his fix.
Caesar is correct that Jake is different...he is obsessed with Shin...
For all my Twilight fans, remember what Edward said to Bella " You're like my own brand of heroin" that is exactly what Shin is for Jake.
Is this healthy?? Hell no! But am I enjoying this ride? Hell yes!(▰˘◡˘▰)
actually it's the opposite....
Shin said that Jake is like a drug to him.
I mean both are like drugs to each other...jake was never the guy who'd risk his life but he is risking it for jake's sake. Throughout the story we come to know that jake always wants a life thats safe and brings him happiness a
omg i mixed the names up.
I figured who you meant lol
For me I view Shin like he is a recovering addict...he's often trying to change or pushing his feelings for Jake away: trying to be a "better" person per se. But then he falls right back once he sees Jake
Either way these two are addicted to one another lol
"We both ended up hurting one another" is a choice to say
#－.－) I don't recall Kim Dan being a tightwad the whole time. A bit of a cry baby but never a bad person.
I am nowhere near comparing Jaekyung to downright violent characters like Caesar, Zhenya, or what ever his name is from PASSION (I forgot lol). Those men a demons with pretty faces...they're not meant to be redeemable or become better people
But Jae is supposed to become a better person and I still stand by what I say when I believe Dan deserves a love that doesn't come with baggage. I thought it would have been a good idea to have Jaekyung earning Dan's love and affection back over a course of weeks maybe months through therapy and communication but instead we get the Kdrama trope of almost dying for him to beg and cry and that's it.
That's not how he should learn his lesson, Dan didn't deserve to almost be killed for Jae to finally understand his feelings better and/or become a better person.
I like that Jae isn't all around nice guy still (it's cute he's only soft for his boyfriend) but I just really wished the love/sweet scenes out weigh the bad ones.
Maybe some bonus side stories will soften the story more.
Man to get stabbed by the very dude that SA you and got you fired for no apparent reason other than to fuck yo your life has to be the biggest bullshit.
Like fuck Dan can't catch a breath without someone just causing him stress.
If Jae finds out during that match bald headed ass dude set this up. He might actually go to prison this time (⊙…⊙ )
I hope that I can be blessed to have a man as determined to love me the way Haebeom has for Ho and baby Sol, and to have a man as kind and patient as Ho is to Haebeom. Next to the very few men I have in the BL manhwa/Manga universe these two stand the test of time of doing adulting right. Communication, gentleness, strength, and love wrapped up in a bow. They never try to be perfect, but God do they make it look easy.
Haebeom asking to adopt Sol and softly asking Ho to "marry" him without the marriage (sadly Korea is still behind). Made me tear up but what really had me was him saying he wanted to live for Ho to give him the life he deserves and even when he's gone, he will finish what he needs to a meet him in the afterlife with a smile honestly broke me.
