All those feelings being mixed with that naive (simplistic) way of thinking about how he and Dan can still "keep in touch" after the fight he himself set as a deadline.

The pace is not so rushed and I kinda like it, although it seems to be an odd thought among the readers, but I prefer this instead of a quick way to "get rid" of the past that now affects both of them as a prospect ending couple. Bedsides, he's kinda learning his way to show this feelings into actions, but I do wish he starts to use his words more, even if he just states the obvious as: "i don't know what I'm feeling, but it's not just guilt"
Just being honest, that would be great.

Dan has definitely learned to not to swoon himself into delulunes and I appreciate that as a consequence of all their past interactions as employee-employer (as a short term for whatever they had). I like that being an obstacle to get them together.

Now, I do fear what the fuck those people are making up to whipe Jk off the scene as a fighter and as I see it, his existence itself (ngl heaters should name themselves Sharkeys Supp. It's elegant and they share purposes to keep appearing in this manhwa: mouth trash Jk and wish him death and being annoyed by Dan's afk existence lol).

Something tells me it def has to do with Dan and that scares me the most, because there's no way they would defy Jk face to face, expected from a bunch of cowards. Still hopefully Dan does not suffer (FUKIN AGAIN) so JK uses his brain and logical thinking (ik it's a lot yo ask) before something really ugly happens to Dan.

I love ranting, idk if anyone even feels the same or not, but I like to read different opinions as long as they're not a poorly written bunch of ragebait text

... Well, those too but they're just funny. It's more entertaining to actually have a share of minds beyond goon admiration to characters with stinky attitude or forced hate to a piece of work you are not obligated to read.

Was a long ass read but i can't deny that i agree, i let this marinate for a couple of months and i just came back ready to unload all the insult I've been saving, just to find myself actually enjoying these last few chapters.

Sure, i could see from a mile away the way this story was going, trash male lead repents, gets forgiven and has his good ending, his tragic backstory only fueled that fire, but surprisingly, i don't find myself minding it too much, probably because it doesn't feel too forced, and the characters seem to have actually learnt something from the past instead of repeating the same mistakes.

The thing i enjoy the most is that jk's guilt is not something to get over but a constant that haunts his every moment, especially with the reappearance of the shitty doctor, and i appreciate that, it's genuine, not that he's all better now and suddenly a decent human being, but it endears you to the character somehow, because a nothing screams likability like a good redemption arc.

i like the fact that even those closest to him call him out on his behavior (heesung on his aggressiveness), so you know it's a character flaw and not just a reaction to kim dan specifically.

I also enjoy ranting so that's something we have in common ♪＼(*＾▽＾*)／＼(*＾▽＾*)／

For Dan and JK, maybe after this match or whatever happens; it's better that they distance themselves and figure out what they really want with each other.

Dan has already made up his mind after what happened before. On the other hand, Jaekyung might say he's not guilty but he's going back to what he said and done.


Why do i feel that this would end in an open ending.

Yes!! Totally agree!! Jk's guilt is def something I appreciate is not dismissed as just something he feels when he's being rejected, but he himself seems to frequent when he acknowledge the things Dan has been wary of since his return to Seoul.

And yes, of course that does not makes him a decent human being, but a human being regardless and those thoughts about how much he messed up that now he does know a simple "I'm sorry" it's not enough to have a happy ending keeps me invested. It is endearing to see him struggle with things we consider kinda simple when acknowledging a crush or falling in love with someone and how he makes himself vulnerable (on purpose or not). I like it.

I think something people ignores a lot is the fact that tropes or cliché concepts are meant to be like that, predictable. The thing a writer does that makes it interesting or not is how the plot l r the cliché is treated and I get that there are things you can like or not of that take of decisions from the author, but expecting things to go different when the cliché is there, is more like a chosen blindness to after complain on something that obviously was gonna end the same way it always does.

Heesung being an accidental wingman for pointing out Jaekhyun's shitty character and anger issues is satisfying. Hope is not the last person o time to witness something like that.

I appreciate a lot your will to being involved with my rant, you're so sweet! I hope you have a beautiful day or night and stay healthy and happy!

Let's keep reading together (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

That's such an interesting scenario!

I personally don't have that kind of 'hunch' about the end, but it would be interesting to see if they go their own ways to make up their feelings and life (especially Dan).

Regarding Jaekhyun's 'guiltrip' situation, I think it's more of a resource than an obstacle since it helps him to process why Dan is the way he is after how he was treated by him and to reach that knowledge to get a grip of his feelings.

I still have my doubts about Dan. I don't know if he will do something after the fight is done or something happens to him just when he resolves his internal struggle towards Jk. I'd like to think positively and say everything will be better handled but... this is not the usual nor the most entertaining or expected way to solve things in manwhas hehe.

Honestly I wouldn't say the end is gonna be open, ay least no when it comes to the romantic side of the story. I can be that some plot holes will be there and not taken care of, but I wouldn't worry about the ending being an open one.

It is interesting tho to think about an open ending, that would be different and def something that would make me go nuts, grieving for a 'what if'.

Thank you for putting different options at the table as a prospect ending, really got me thinking about that possibility. I hope you have a nice day or night and enjoy your time reading this with the rest! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

I wish to you health and happines!!! <3

I want a different ending for this one. The same ending like in other manhwa's are just repeated.

I want to see Dan live a life that hasn't anything to do with Jaekyung around. Jaekyung should also do the same. They both came from trauma and i feel like, they're just bonding with it.

I appreciate your sincerity on the last part. Thank you and you too as well.

I agree! After accepting that this is not my usual ‘romance’ manhwa, I actually enjoyed the story. (Not particularly the noncon part) but it’s a new perspective to ponder about and I finished this in one go!

I know right, I don't get it, if they're reading it, why do they need to spread all that hate...

I believe that when they go to a certain extreme, they forget that just like those English books we’ve read at school with horrid themes, that it’s a form of imagination, of storytelling, we see manwhas nowadays as things we don’t deeply interpret, but almost like fast fashion it’s churned out quickly and we don’t think twice about the process, we can read many manwhas, some of which we don’t even remember the names of or even the backstory of etc, though I do understand that updates play a part in easily forgetting, but my point is that we or certain people don’t even look at them as if they’re “books” anymore… but “brain rot almost”, so it easily disregards the thought process of authors and artists, and the efforts they put in, in comparison to traditional novels and such.

(Though, I won’t deny certain mangas/manhwas are “brain rot”)

I also think that it might be a way for them to release a feeling of guilt to feel a sense of “self-righteousness “, condemning such things, which as you have mentioned manwhas with genres/themes that they chose to read and continue to do so, which are in reality and in fiction horrible (rape, abuse etc), but they make it seem as if it’s completely representative of the author, now whilst it does say something about the author…that they can handle such dark themes, perhaps in such a light manner such as this…in a way, one can actually argue that it’s a fetish that the author writes such things but one can also argue that if it comes with a redemption arc, it’s rather “building plot” or showing “character development” of these characters, so rather, it’s the author being an author, doing their job at story telling, with whatever theme they are interested in.

At the end of the day….who actually knows. But comfortably sending death threats, is quite odd.

I didn't even notice my comment did not post completely TT.

Anyways I was saying that while that happend and saw a lot of English speakers (that I'm aware are not just USA or UK or AUS etc people) I do notice more of this behaviour in them, comparing this with the communities in my language which is Spanish. So is like a cultural shock to see people taking matter into this like they're the most ethical people in the world shaming others for thinking different from them or not throwing shit like they do.

I get what are you saying and it makes totally sense. Honestly I do think like that too, that some manhwas/comics/media exists for the plain reason of "brain rot". However when they put the morality or the ethical value of some of this characters makes me laugh, because there are a lot and a really really amount of characters like this so I don't understand why would yo put morals and ethics and who's this who's that when basically a lot of other characters are like this and they prefer to do comparison like is some sort of competition when none of them are... good people.

If the problem is the popularity of the manhwa and the personality, okay. I do agree with those, but saying this one is the worst one? Idk about that.

Is like people do forgive madness for good looking and charisma even if they're still bad people. It just don't make any sense to me.

Hmm I think the hate can be ignored cuz it won't stop, and honestly I don't see that happening even with the manhwa ending. However the way they express their discomfort is a little senseless, not their discomfort but the way they take the whole thing like it's the only shitty thing in the world. It's plain stupid.

Fingers crossed! I really want this too.

And I hope so much Dan just asks him for espace. Like, he can't go to bed with someone who rejected him so harshly. And please, not for money anymore... it's degrating.

Let along space, he has to really stand on his feet, firmly and say no. Limits. And of course Jaekhyung needs a punch of reality, he has to change the way he approaches people and understand that if he keeps like that he is gonna lose everything.

He already is losing his title as a champion, he didn't even had the loyalty of all the people that attended his gym, coaches deal with his temperament but who know how long, he would've lost his arm. Things have to change, he has to change and need to realize that.

Dan is the trigger to all of this, but that's why Jaekhyung needs to figure out his feelings first, then he will be able to see the other things too. After that maybe they'll have a better scene to start things clean.

I agree, Dan is the trigger that will make Jaekyung change his perspective. He will lose everything that REALLY matters in life - the least thing is a title of champion.

I feel bad because I know Dan wouldn't refuse Jaekyung. It's my dream for him to say No and put limits, have a little dignity. If he stand hisfeet I'm curious about how Jaekyung would do.
