This book was a blast. Keith is still terrible, but at least Yeonwoo finally realizes it. It was nice finally seeing Yeonwoo grow a backbone. I do think Yeonwoo was started to go a little far with his revenge at the end, but oh well, at least it's entertaining. I've enjoyed this series quite a bit, but I will likely not read the next volume. It never got an official translation because of licensing disputes. I tried to read an unofficial translation, but the translator was not a native English speaker and I couldn't even focus on the story because of the poor grammar.
mi opinión es basada en la novela, el mangwa poco me atrajo. Es mucho mejor la novela ya que puedo saber un poco mas sobre los dos. La trama no atrapa mucho, la historia entra en bucle lleno de clichés pero de alguna manera no resulta del todo aburrido. Cabe aclarar que los dos son bien toxicos. El titulo refleja bien lo que trata el libro.
Σε αυτή την τρίτη νουβέλα της σειράς είναι που τα πράγματα παίρνουν μια πιο ενδιαφέρουσα τροπή -παραμένει τοξική μεν, ακολουθεί μια διαφορετική πορεία δε, με τον Yeonwoo να τραβάει το σκηνή, αλλά ωθώντας τον Keith σε μονοπάτια που θα τον οδηγήσουν σε μια αρκετά διαφορετική πορεία όσο οδεύουμε προς το φινάλε.
📖 Summary: The past is no longer haunting the sidelines — it's front and center, wrecking everything in its path. Jiwoon and Hojin have crossed lines, kissed past breaking points, and now? They're finally forced to face the truth. And it’s not pretty.
In this volume:
Flashbacks hit HARD (hello, origin story of the trauma bond)
Hojin finds out just how deep Jiwoon’s damage runs
Jiwoon? In full denial/self-destruction mode
That “I wish you’d never met me” scene? 😭
Emotional confessions wrapped in cruelty and regret
The push-pull dynamic hits its PEAK — and you’re screaming into a pillow
💖 Character Reactions:
🖤 Jiwoon — On the verge of collapse, emotionally and professionally. You see his fear now. He loves Hojin — but he’s terrified of what that means. The moment he almost says it and then backtracks?? RUDE.
🫥 Hojin — So much pain. So much patience. He finally starts choosing himself… but it’s killing him to do it. His moments of quiet devastation? Silent scream-levels of intense.
✨ Emotional casualties of war:
“Why do you keep hurting me?” / “Because it’s the only way I know how to need you.”
Jiwoon crying in the dark where no one can see him?? SHATTERED.
That near-breakup that isn’t a breakup but absolutely is? 😭
The way one touch held more apology than any sentence.
🔥 Smut Level: Still emotionally loaded and tension-laced more than graphic, but dear god... The kiss that felt like a confession, the grip-that-lingered, the bed scene where nothing was okay but it happened anyway? #SmutTags: #TouchMeLikeYoureSorry #PainAsForeplay #TraumaBondInHD #HurtMeButLoveMe #KissesInPlaceOfHealing #PleaseJustBeHonestAlready
