Did I write that ?
He went to Duna and Duna raped him.
He went to Wookyung and Wookyung and Duna raped him.
He went to the bar and the 3 men raped him.
The same.
Always the same. Duna is a rapist. She's a psycho rapist. Wookyung is a psycho rapist. Exactly the same.
And readers judge the victim without knowing his psychological disorders or his background. "Does the victim deserve to be raped ?" Are you all mad ?
On a Korean Site (that's a translation and this text in not mine) : "[...] It's because Duna and Woo-kyung assaulted and raped Min-ho, and at least Min-ho can be honest if he's with Woo-kyung. Doona's existence was never a blessing for Minho. It was a mutually toxic relationship. They had to break up quickly. Even if Minho leaned in and ended up with Cheonduna, given Minho's literary obsession, it's highly likely that Minho would have been unhappy with Douna for the rest of his life."
Mutually. There are faults on both sides. But rapes on only one side. I don't mind Wookyung being a rapist as a character: he's the antagonist and it's his role in BL, to be like Sangwoo. But it breaks the character of Duna who would be better off only with Haesol. And BDSM. But her revenge against Minho, ra** instead of BDSM, does not correspond to the image of Duna in the other chapters. And we cannot excuse Duna by highlighting the character of her victim: no one deserves to be raped. It's funny when she kicks him after his slap. But when she persists, it makes many readers uncomfortable.
Duna almost killed Haesol by strangling him. She has got this desire to strangle which is very present (chapter 23 or when she went to see Wookyung). The only times Duna is truly a BDSM dom is with Gyerin, because practices must be carried out rationally.
