...I know poor writing is a possible thing in every universe but make jumin to let him know it was him is that level of poor writing I refuse to accept.

Totally, absolutely zero chance someone could be that dumb. Soo, dear author WHAT THE BLOOD HE** YOU'RE DOING???

@Nickname Somehow I half agree, but if you consider Junmin personality with his dirty underhanded methode, arrogant and love to provoke, he thought he pushed the right button to antagonize Jockey to make him anxious and wanted to see his devastated reaction, then the author made the right decision, but as you said, the author forgot to add some kind of intelligent in Jumin's brain resulted of poor writing.
@Nickname i think he had junmin had to say it so mr.joo would become weaker.. BUT YEAH IK YOU GOT A POINT THERE
@WischMoppel

It doesn't matter, you DON'T tell ANYBODY you hired a hitman. especially not when the hitman is your debtor who has ZERO reason to shut the fu** up if he get caugh.

It's not J reaction that matters here but the fact someone who has the staff and the brain to carry out a plan like this CAN'T be dumb enough to admit it the very same day.

Plus, he know J pretty well and his temper, that's what he used against him before. And he already know J is a mess because of KD is on the brink of death, so the whole little chitchat is just useless, dumb, and peak "mistake" forced on to a character to solve a problem, aka J needs to find out somehow who did it..:

I don't now why the rush, but it could have been solved in literally the next chapter, like, the cops catch that bas**** and he woud have just spit out everything during the interorgation, so...

This whole thing is really just dumb and unnecessary and pointless and the worst type of writing...

 

Im really disappointed.

@Nickname

@Nickname I disagree. FIRSTLY SO HAPPY JUMIN GOT HIS A-S-S BEATEN EMBARRASSING🤣🤣. I don't know which manhwa you're reading, but Jumin is exactly that kind of person. He's not that smart either, just a LOUDMOUTH. He also did it to put Jaekyung off his game; the only thing is, it backfired. His full-time job when he was younger was bullying and putting Jaekyung down out of disdain and jealousy.

Additionally, he did not tell him directly, “I hired a hitman.” He just said, “You sure you wanna leave your lover boy?” That’s not enough evidence to prove he is the one behind it. Innocent until proven guilty. It’s obvious he just wanted to aggravate Jaekyung even more. As much as anger can be a strength, it can also be blinding. Jaekyung only won for Kim Dan, which is why he didn’t give Jumin a single opening he went full-rage-mode attack. Regular angry Jaekyung without doing his Jinx, would have lost.

What you were expecting or wanted would have been even poorer writing, because the recent chapters focus on Kim Dan and Jaekyung’s relationship growth. Imagine adding a police investigation in the middle of an important arc that determines progression of a relationship. If anything, that can come later. Calling it unnecessary, pointless, and the worst type of writing is downright disrespectful. I’m happy the author decided not to drag the fight out, because Jumin ain’t worth the time, and we don’t want to see his ugly a-s-s either.

You don't know why the rush? Chapter 99? Some fans have been waiting since 2022 for Kim Dan and Jaekyung's relationship growth, so we do not exactly want to see a police investigation right now or Jumin being smart, even if he is clearly dumb af. That can come after I know my baby Kim Dan is alright.

@Nickname you only realized now that this is poorly written?? The whole story feels like it's written by a 13 year old without any knowledge about writing lol she copied bj Alex 1:1 and that story was poor aswell
@Nickname As a writer, i disagree because that's just the way Junmin's personality is written....always has been... In his POV what he wanted was to trigger his emotions and beat him hard and make Jaekyung feel the most pathetic and worthless ever ...but funnily for Junmin the way Jaekyung reacted is like that... Funny man deserved every bit of it
@Sayu

Nahh, it's not, it's just filled with BL cliche and a weak MC, but J is a really good and complex character, too complex for a BL, honestly... but comeooon, it's not that bad, i mean, it _wasn't_ that bad, until they started this whole change-the core-ofJ-to-make-a-haoy-end bs. XD

 

@Ded Fish 2009

no, it wasn't.  Read again, he planned everything, had the ability to get the people for the plan - that's NOT a profile of an idiot, that's a leader.

he act like an idiot for a reason, because IT WORKS for him, it covers the fact he has a brain. just like his "cool" public personality covers the fact he's a thug.

@cutiee_xx

...I read this story. the question is, what you tread to not realize what is he doing at the first place..:? :D

 

I mean, you just said he didn't tell him directly - how do you not understand why?, BECAUSE HE HAS A BRAIN! He KNOWS it would trigger J, that he would understand what it means, but it's NOT enough to report him to the police or anything, meanwhile it gives a high chance J woould flipped out, ruin his public image even more. make his mental state even  more unstable, which could affect his perofrmance, _and_ on the top of that junmin can do what he did and loved all in his life, hurting people and makes them miserable, like a good old sociopath always do. 

And that's exactly you're just wrong literally in everything, like, you yourself stated what a freakin mastermind he is, I mean, he achived _so many hurtful things_ with one single sentence, and you wanna tell me he's not smart?? wtf?? :D

He ran a fuk*** gang as a teenager, they were running a drug business, and you call him a  single"bully??"

...And I'm not reading..:? :D::D:DDD

 

And no, nobody said there should be a police investigation, wtf are you talking about, it literally can be done in 2 panels, half of it already done with 2 sentences abot cctv and "we know who did it, we just didn't catch him yet".
Just like nobody said the fight should last longer, that's not what i'm talking about, and you know it pretty well too, why do you want to shift random bs onto me......

ps: no, logic and consistency for characters are NEVER poor writing, seriously, what the he** are you talking about... XD

@Nickname

Your whole paragraph contradicts itself. At first you said Jumin isn’t dumb enough to admit it and that it’s poor writing, yet you use that same scenario to explain why he admitted it and how it proves he’s a mastermind therefore "smart". At this point, it feels like you’ll say anything as long as it supports your point or what you call “logic and consistency.”

The MAIN reason Jumin did what he did was because he feels inferior to Jaekyung — jealousy, disdain, insecurity. His primary goal was never the championship; it was Jaekyung’s downfall, how can I define someone like that as smart? He’s cunning and manipulative but that’s not the same as being "smart".

And realistically based on your “logic and consistency”, if Jumin is actually as "smart" as you claim, he’d probably have the pervy mf k-illed or bribe the police before getting caught anyway, which makes the interrogation scenario even poorer writing.

Let's say a police investigation and interrogation happened, Jaekyung would never have found out it was Jumin before the fight because realistically they take time. In his mental state, he probably would’ve lost. Then what? How would the story move forward at the final major arc? 

The only thing Jumin achieved with his “single sentence” was getting brutally punched by Jaekyung😂. He couldn’t even land a single punch. Quite Pathetic.

You can write your own story too — let’s see how “logical” and “consistent” it turns out.
