Comment by Aya on Limited Run - Chapter 55

It's the way I can't believe Kwon just went along with what his assistant said, knowing full well that his assistant never trusted Yeoh and always tried to find a way to dissuade Kwon from using him. If anything, it's the assistant who seems most suspicious. (Because why did he go to find the usb on his own after Kwon told him not to?)

How could Kwon think Yeoh is acting, when he's been so honest about his feelings even after getting turned down before. Like, this boy was willing to go against his dad for you. Don't prove his dad right when he said that Yeoh shouldn't trust Kwon!! 

I'm so happy Yeoh-oh's assistant actually cares for him and is already raising alarms after not being able to contact him.

I thought his name was Choi but I guess it's Cho. There are way too many Choi's. It stuck in my head.

For such a lone operator who isn't exactly personable it is a bit weird that he just takes that guy at seemingly face value. I don't know what their history is. But the "he's not as naive as you think" line is such obvious bs. His explanation for keeping the USB is super naive and simple. He's not a schemer at all. The assistant makes it sound like he wanted to leverage it for money or influence when all he wanted was not to be cut off from Kwon. Which is pretty much the most innocent motive for hiding the USB.

Also I just can't stand characters that look down on "whores" for being beneath them but don't have the same disgust for the guy using the "wh***" in the first place. He's definitely weird. I just don't know what his exact deal is. Destroying the USB? Just being petty over Yeon-oh?

I'm mad about the recent Pearl Boy raws so I really don't need another repeat of that. I hope the managers vigilance pays off.

Sadly, it's the rich mentality. The rich can do no wrong. Anyone poor is beneath them and can be treated as less than human. So Cho (I'll take your word for it since I didn't bother to remember his name) thinks Yeon is nothing but a money hungry actor who would do anything to even exist in the same room as someone like Kwon. 🙄 Meanwhile, Yeon just wants to cherish his first love.
Meanwhile Kwon will only be seen as taking advantage of any means to get the job done. So it's like he's doing something charitable by humouring Yeon-oh.

All I know, like you had ,mentioned before, Kwon needs to apologise for calling Yeon a wh***, and berating him after he tried to tell him about the SA. 

(Part of me, a very small part, almost felt like Cho liked Kwon romantically. Or rather, wanted to be the only one Kwon depends on. I say this because it felt like his animosity toward Yeon-oh grew after he noticed the subtle changes in Kwon like Kwon was genuinely caring for Yeon-oh 🤔)

I haven't continued Pearl boy since the very early chapters. The r@pe scene had deterred me completely. It's so weird how some of these manhwa all line up. When something bad happens in one, something bad happens in another. Same when it's something good. I'm just happy things are going relatively well in Night at the Sea (aside from all the miscommunication).

Agree with that assesment. I have to appreciate how Korean media tends to be hard on rich people for their worst attributes.

He really needs to apologize. He accuses him of being a wh*** and also faking (his genuine) reactions quite a lot. It's especially harsh given the SA context. I think it's funny that Kwon denies being into rough s** and domination when he clearly is. I think the way he talks to Jeon-oh in bed is part of that but I think it comes across as too cruel when they don't have an honest relationship.

I had the same suspicions about Cho. This is BL after all. And the "loyal assistant" having a thing for the boss is a whole trope. Even if it's not romantic or sexual he seems a bit possesive. But now I wonder if he's working with the other side.

I wouldn't want to forgive Taeju if I was Euihyun. But I'm glad he finally realized he doesn't just want him as an obedient s** tool. 

Ugh, yes the early ra** scenes in Pearl Boy are quite awful. But the main character manages to break away from that.

The thing I like about TaeJu though, is that, even though he didn't realise he was in love with Euihyun

He treated Euihyun good. Like, he would never abandon Euihyun the way Kwon seems to want to get rid of Yeon-oh after his usefulness. Sure he will scold Euihyun, rightfully so because he is another very naive MC. But I feel like TaeJu's intentions are in a good place. Like, he does take his dads' words to heart and tries to understand Euihyun's feelings better. 

Both Euihyun and Yeoh-oh are way too dependent on TaeJu and Kwon because they 1) both saved them,  2) are their first full sexual encounters, 3) have this odd relationship that makes them confused because they do act like lovers but there's a stipulation attached.

Honestly,  I might just stay away from pearl boy for now just cause I know the author can be pretty graphic with their depictions of things. 

And you're definitely right about Kwon and his rough play.

I can't forgive Taeju for the r@pe shortly after they first met. It left Euihyun bleeding and made him pass out. Also pushing a suicidal person into debt based s** slavery is just so cruel! 

But I am glad that Taeju pretty quickly came to see Euihyun as non-disposable. The scene where he angrily took Euihyun to the brothel made me squirm. I was relieved that he didn't leave him there. At least Taeju isn't the type to let Euihyun be touched by other men. Or like some of the worst characters in Bl- actually hand him over to other men for fun. Bless Taeju's dad for being pretty normal, somehow? I think Taeju has a lot to make up for because he traumatized Euihyun so much. He was psychologically so fragile and Taeju really pushed him further. It's sad to me that Euihyun can't fathom being more to Taeju than a s** object but I blame that on Taeju. I wish Taeju would tell Euihyun that he's not just a s** object and he wants him as a person and that Euihyun would tell him that he actually wants love and care but is terrified.

Now that he knows he cares about Euihyun I hope he does a lot better. He's already showing concern about him getting hurt during s**. Unfortunately 

Emotional dependency to that degree is dangerous. But I feel like Kwon and Taeju both use it to their advantage. I want them all to be honest so their relationships can be more equal and healthy.

I wrote an entire reply, and it accidentally got deleted😫

I agree with everything you said about TaeJu.

His initial characterisation seemed to veer into that typical harsh ML that abuses the MC throughout the story. (I am glad he was quickly proven not to be, though) 

The same can't be said about Joo. Like you said, his anger and violence is extremely realistic, and makes it very uncomfortable to read about. I don't want him to end up with Dan, but we all know he will. Smh 
He has a total disregard to Dan's feelings, and gets off on his suffering. 

But getting back to Kwon, I do hope he can put his pride aside, and own up for his mistakes and communicate rationally with Yeon-oh. I do wish them a happy healthy relationship as well. Especially when you see some manhwa brush things like that aside, and there's always this lack of closure, no apologies, etc

Ugh, I have done that.
