The Pizza Delivery Man and the Gold Palace
I just finished S2 and my heart has been racing non-stop wildly.
At the beginning, I thought since S2 is already updated, I won't have any cliffhangers to worry about. (yes, massive foolishness)
NGL, reddit has been of much help with all the new recs!!
So when I saw one post, I was already interested in the concept - Who doesn't like a pretty, kindhearted top and handsome, domineering power bottom? (Jin 2.0, I'm telling you)
S1 was like their "you be my saving and I be yours and together we will heal eo and conquer the world".
I like their views on life and everything, how emotionally intellectual they are of their situation and just in general. Also, The art is pretty good - adds more points to the story!!!
It was going all in the right direction, all the fluff and sweetness, and come S2, I've been on my toes, anxious of what will happen next. It deviated significantly from my expectations. Not really complaining how Seo-An played out but I was quite surprised of his actions. (Till I read the last creator's note and had a mindful, figured how it was supposed to work out) - Seo-An of S1 and S2 are like completely different person ngl lol
I don't know if I sympathize with Woo-Won on a personal level but seeing him go through his days, and especially his encounters with his father, that hit hard.
It's been a pretty long time since any manhwa gave that gut wrenching feeling - both the characters have shiit ton of things going on and it's like every chapter, my heart literally bleeds out T_T
MOST OF ALL, I HATED ALL THE CHAPTERS OF "STUPID RICH KIDS BEING SPOLIED BRATS WITH NOTHING WORTHY TO THEIR NAME". I was on edge all the time when they did their cheap acts and it was so hard to go on and see what's next in the plate.
I WANT TO GIVE THEM SLOW UNALIVENENESS, EACH ONE OF THEM WHO IS OUT TO MAKE my beauties HURT, DROPS OF THEIR VITAL FLUID DRIPPING OUT LEISURELY, KEEPING THEM FAR AWAY TO ROT IN WILDERNESS but ofc, since I'm a civilised person, I can not do such a shameless act and can only inform my elimination intent anonymously to the world :)
This was also one of those manhwas that gave me the feels iykwim - they depict the realism of what is and has become of the world. The rules, prejudices, double standards, the hierarchy. Everyone is so preoccupied to make it to their end of the day, we disregard the true essence of life. It is contradictory in itself bcz everyone has it different and that opens up to new perspectives, you just can't call something right or wrong. Adultery is very difficult but some people do not have the good their whole life and so, you might be breathing the same air with someone and living in complete different worlds. It is mind boggling truly of the differences society has granted us. And we are simply interwoven so intact, how can someone expect any change?
This is my first time putting out my thoughts and IDK if I was supposed to do it or not but I felt troubled by my anxiety and henceforth this post.
And honestly, I just said whatever I was feeling atm so yeah
END OF RANT!
