4 'Red flags' stars

The cover of this vol: Look; cute couple, and adorable, fluffy scenes 🥰🫶

The inside of this vol: 🚨🚨RED FLAGS🚨🚨RED FLAGS🚨🚨RED FLAGS🚨🚨

Seriously, whoever was in charge of the cover art's desicion was probably hallucinating because when the fuck were these two like that??? It's true that there's been a tiny bit of progress into the right direction, meaning - drum roll please - Yoon Seungho is finally doing the bare minimum! So, let's see. He bought very expensive medicine for Na-kyum, after he fucked him so hard he got a fever. Or maybe he already had a fever, which is kind of worse. He also bought him new winter clothes, of course, after he fucked him at the tailor shop. And... wait, that's actually it. Wow, what a character development *insert the biggest eye-roll you can imagine* Anyway, there was also interesting tiny insight into Seungho's relationship with his father (doesn't seem to be good), so maybe we'll get some explanation why he's such an asshole in the next vol.

kiss-blush

Baek Na-kyum hasn't really changed much either but I don't hold this against him. Poor baby still has it rough but I'm glad that he at least has that old servant, who seems to care about him. Everyone looks at him with disdain because he's lowborn, other servants don't like him because Yoon Seungho "dotes on" him, while Seungho is actually just using him. And imo, the worst is Jung In-hun, who thinks he has the right to look down on him, while the truth is, he's the biggest scum of them all. I just want for Na-kyum to have some peace and quiet (oh, btw apparently Jihwa now wants to get him murdered???), and for Seungho to finally start treating him like he deserves. Poor boy is so confused about his emotions and feeling so lonely, that he's prepared to pretend that Seungho's actions are affection. The only time when he doesn't need to think is when he's with Yoon Seungho.

"Can't you just hold me now...? You used to touch me whenever you liked, even when I said no..."

Yoon Seungho, if you don't hug this poor baby for real in the next vol, I swear I'm putting you on my 'to castrate' list!! A little off topic, but I just remembered I was thinking when I was reading that Na-kyum really cries A LOT, especially because Seungho doesn't even seems to be into dacryphilia. I'm serious, babygirl, tears really won't save you here. However, now I have a perfect excuse for this gif! In case you were wondering, no I'm not over Payback and I doubt I'll be anytime soon.

Anyway, I know my reviews sound like I'm really annoyed (well, I am but Seungho looks very hot when he's annoyed, so that's not necessary a bad thing) but at the same time I'm enjoying it like watching a soap opera - it frustrates you but you're unhealthily invested in it. I have no idea what to expect in the next volume but I'm counting on that hug. Now, I'm gonna treat us to another jaysun gif because I'm talking way too much about possible characters development for a manhwa that's 75% porn.

4.5 stars

That was a very nice sequel. I can’t believe they actually got to where they are now both of them confessing to each other and all. I also loved that Master (Lord) Min’s scheming has come to an abrupt end. Well deserved I must say.

I found the episodes about Yoon Seungho’s father a bit confusing because there were time jumps back and forth. Guess, that’ll might still play a role in part 4. His father was definitely an asshole and a creep. The murders of Yoon Seungho’s lordly peers might become troublesome as well.

Sometimes the plot switched direction between one episode and the next just to go back to where we left off later. But I can’t complain much and thoroughly enjoyed this volume. I especially loved how the tender scenes between Baek Na-Kyum and Yoon Seungho multiplied even though we got less sex scenes because of it. I also thought it so funny that Yoon Seungho followed Baek Na-Kyum‘s every whim and realised he’s doing so and just accepted his fate.

It was a weird weekend when I read #1 and #2 of this story, I didn't get it, but was weirdly glued to the screen. Then I left it there, and I have to admit I don't care anymore to know how it went.

So I'm gonna DNF.
Time to clear a bit my currently reading list.

My poor baby Nakyum. I witnessed the toxicity grow and grow and grow until it had no space to grow any further. This tragedy lead to more trauma and loss then I can count but it did bring tears to my heart and soul. Even through the thick film of constant pain and suffering that both Nakyum and Yoon faced, they weeded themselves into the light of one another. It’s sad but it’s also so painfully beautiful. I’m not ashamed to say I enjoyed this.

Parece mentira lo que cambian los personajes, sobre todo Seungho, que se ha ido calmando y aplacando su ira gracias a Na-Kyum. La relación de los dos se vuelve muy bonita. Complicada, pero bonita. Lo que despertará los celos de ciertas personas y harán que Seungho vuelva a mostrar su lado más violento.

Además de la historia principal. El/la autor/a publica unos Side stories que son divertidísimos. Es un mundo alternativo en el que Na-Kyum hace dibujos eróticos y es un noble y Seungho es un aldeano que sabe como ponerle nervioso. La historia principal no es para todo el mundo, pero la side story es genial para conocer el magnífico trabajo de Byenonduck sin toda la carga dramática.

4.5 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒔

Finished, 4:52am...Painter of the Night is making me go insane, or maybe I was already crazy from the beginning? Omg TT TT... That ending... I'm lost for words...Na-Kyum my poor baby...Even if you're not innocent anymore, you're still precious... Why must terrible stuff always befall upon you...? I can't believe I rated this above 4 stars... And I can't believe Seungho cried... Two things that I never thought possible happened at the same time... I want the next volume to come quickly (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

P. S. Is Lord Min dead yet? That bastard better be dead or else I'm actually going to start ripping out my hair in a fit of rage.

3.5/5

Me tenía llorando a mares y derrepente sale con sus cochinadas kdkddk

Me gustó que en este volumen hubo menos cochinadas y más asesinato en masa, en ese sentido 10/10

📚⇢ Hemos llegado a la parte en la que Seung-Ho nos hace caer en el Estocolmo a todos pues el cambio que tiene en su trato con Na-Kyum es considerablemente grande. Es más amable, cariñoso, protector, posesivo e incluso amoroso, y eso hace que nos empiece a caer bien o incluso a gustar.

📚⇢ Esos últimos capítulos me desgarraron el alma de sólo ver que, de nuevo, mi pobre pintorcito fue secuestrado y torturado física, sexual y psicológicamente. La forma en que Seung-Ho llega a rescatarlo y la matanza que les da a todos los que se atrevieron a tocar a su amorcito, fue épica y por fin hace algo que apoyo.

Out of the 3 seasons of Painter of the Night, this 3rd season is my favorite! 🥰 Seungho's character growth, Nakyeom growing even more beautiful, and them falling in love! Plus the flow of the story is really, really, really good for this season.

PS. Lord Min, you j€rk!!!!!

I can't wait to see where this is going and I'm trusting is going somewhere. At the moment, everything is very dramatic but I have faith that at some point we are going to get more plot and less smut. I can't wait for the murder plot honestly.
