@rin I think rather than abandoning the plot, the author wants us to see beyond the appearance of Jaerim. He may not be the most attractive person, his personality attracts us towards him
if u want BL that has a good ending, will make you cry, love the characters, the plot, the details.. PLEASE READ MUDEROUS LEWELLYN'S CANDLELIT DINNER!!!! I cried so many times
