[Review for the official English translation of the manhwa.]

I fucking hate Hwan and hope he dies in a fire. Haejin should’ve used that black Amex and bought himself a one-way ticket to literally anywhere and some loaded Visa cards to get the hell out of there. Or purchase a hitman. Because what the actual fuck was this plot.

I wanted to end Hwan with my own bare hands. He was so obtuse and full of himself and believed that he was superior over everyone. The fact he thought so little of Haejin and constantly insulted him, and then acted surprised when he stopped loving him — no fucking shit? What the fuck did you think would happen?

Is Hwan meant to be asexual? He seems utterly repulsed by sex yet resorts to rape to get what he wants. There is so much vitriol and hatred towards omegas (and Haejin especially), especially in terms of sexual appeal. What is going on with that? If so, it’s awful fucking rep.

I am filled with indescribable rage, the more I read of this manhwa. Haejin was kind and smart when it mattered, but somehow he fucking got with this guy anyway?! After all that effort to escape and all the abuse he dealt with and he still forgave him? No fucking way, dude. Two months is not enough. Hwan traumatized Haejin so fucking much he threatened suicide.

The idea that Hwan loved Haejin made no sense anyway! Hwan played up this façade so I understand why Haejin fell for him, because he was acting the princely boyfriend. I think he held onto that love a little too long, but he mostly got past it. Hwan though, he’s all guilty after the fact? Dude had to use a fucking helicopter to get away from you. He spent so little time with Haejin — maybe a month in total? — so he doesn’t even know stuff about him? He didn’t even know about his poor health! The fuck do you mean you love him? I don’t care about the subplot with the potential risk from the grandmother, as it wasn’t like Hwan could find him either.

It’s in chapter 33 he decided to move back in with that asshole, because Hwan “confessed everything” and decided there’s no better options. Hwan’s personality flips 180 degrees, but he can’t even say why he cares about Haejin! Really, he’s just given up on all of his goals. The trajectory of their love story is so odd, because Haejin doesn’t necessarily pretend everything is fine but he is basically assuaged and eased by the luxuries Hwan can provide through his money, and some sweet nothings. The grovel meant nothing. His tears don’t amount to shit. On top of it all, he still gets his damn baby and they get MARRIED.

As for the art - it is stiff and awkward on some angles, and Hwan is really not an attractive lead. However, it does improve in the latter chapters and that is commendable. Pregnant belly is also always cute to me.

No story has ever enraged me more than this. I should have DNF’d. Seriously, I’d rather reread Hosik’s Story over this.
