Either way, he’ll get no help from Hye-sung, who’s busy with school—and keeping his marriage to Dojin a secret from his classmates! Kyungsoo is probably the nicest person in this manhwa, if a bit thickheaded and likens Alpha and Omega like animals, and Chowon by circumstance keeps coming back into his life so he tries, and falls in love. At various points I was thinking everything from giving this 2 stars and dnfing the series, to finally giving it what - 3 1/2 stars? Dojin is ambivalent and selfish, where he forces Hye-sung to keep a baby conceived on the night he became an omega and the only sex these two seem to ever have is dubious at best, and non-con over half the time ('secretly' wanting it is a common trope, yes, and one omegaverse seems to often ride on, but it gets tiring every time, especially when at least 1/3rd of this comic is sex scenes alone. The solution for him is an Alpha-pheromone infused perfume, and Dojin comes across Hye-sung spraying himself with it in the restroom.

To be fair, he gave Hye-sung meds to suppress his heat cycle (they didn't work), but who shoves their fingers up some random stranger's butt? The main thing tying them together is the fact that Hye-sung seems to be Dojin's muse (find another source of inspiration! Ultimately, this was still fun, and I appreciate the lack of instalove, as it leaves plenty of room for relationship growth. But his world is flipped upside down when he finds out he isn’t a dominating Alpha, but a submissive Omega.Some pages are in color - in one odd instance, the artwork switches to color part-way through a page. The narrative leads to where the next time they talk again it is another k-drama scene I found it landing more than any of

I unfortunately already knew what that was due to prior furry fandom experience, but hadn't expected to encounter it here.

Hye-sung gives birth to a healthy baby boy, but before any congratulations can be made, he disappears from Dojin’s life. This global digital hit is coming to print at last in deluxe English-language paperbacks, featuring the black-and-white comic with beautiful color inserts. In the next couple sex scenes, it looks kind of like Dojin is going through some sort of heat cycle of his own and ends up forcing himself on Hye-sung. Hye-sung was a spoiled, stupid, money thirsty idiot how had no problem blackmailing or dimissing anyone else’s feeling when it suits him. Maybe they eventually turn into that, I don't know, but their relationship in this first volume is nothing but rape and resentment.

It's like when I watched Big Dragon and thought "you're both the worst and I sort of need to see you end up together for some reason. He has Hye-sung stay over at his with his roommate Junsu after he was fired from his job and helps cheer him up when he is down. Like the narrative wants to both make it horny while simultaneously recognizing it’s fucked up 💀 Like pick a struggle at this point. Dojin does not feel what he sees as a heat cycle and adds what Hye-sung is experiencing is his problem. Introducing the second pairing, featuring the previous side character Heesoo, who tries his best to do his best for Dojin, against what Dojin wants, and at the harm of Hye-sung.Immediately afterwards, you are met with Dojun and Heesoo and how their relationship is progressing, in-secret to the rest of the world, and Dojun is an absolutely stone-faced character, so we see intro into his desires through his thoughts and actions, and him bending from his lavish life to meet heesoo in his small apartment-- because he loves Heesoo and makes that compromise because he's learning new things, including how to love again, with Heesoo. Hye-sung says he had spent all his money to attend the party he is at, looking all nice and handsome so he could find a rich and pretty Omega to restart his life.

So, I believe people are upset about reading this mature BL omegaverse manwha and seeing the amount of dc/nc and demonizing the book when this is very common and often highlighted in both genres. But there’s legit assault here because even Hye-sung is BAWLING HIS EYES OUT two times after Dojin assaults him. the marriage scene between the first couple, where it's quite late in their relationship and have decided to stay together for the baby or Hye-sung will quite literally die.However, the side couples in this series are top tier and the baby Hye-sung and Dojin eventually have IS CUTE AS HELL SO I NEED ALL THE VOLUMES. In a later scene, Hye-sung sleepwalks into Dojin's room (they're living together by this point, for reasons) and starts throwing himself at Dojin and begging for sex. I really wanted some of the warmth and sweetness of the cover art, and this volume gave me none of that.
