About this deal

The worst thing this series does is put a very standard BL couple in the middle of the other story lines, and another omega with a much more deeply messed up personality in a much more sensical similar narrative to the first couple. They're a terrible couple who are terrible for each other. The main thing tying them together is the fact that Hye-sung seems to be Dojin's muse (find another source of inspiration!), and Hye-sung is a dumbass whose idiocy makes Dojin understandably worried. Hye-sung, there are no non-sketchy ways for you to make money fast, so stop falling for scams!

Dojin can sense the presence of an omega at a rooftop party that he attends with Heesoo. He overhears Hye-sung state he is an Alpha before it is suggested he go and talk to Dojin. Hye-sung walks away and is on his phone, having the intent to find a rich Omega, he is not concerned about being fired again and will prove the other speaker wrong that he cannot find someone. Two people fall in love and just flow with the tide and before they know it, they are on the lifelike trail of falling out of love. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t successful couples out there. Yes, there are many successful couples except that sometimes you wonder if they are together because of being too freaking in love or because of being two good liars.After leaving the next morning, Kyungsoo would take Hye-sung with him to a concert where he would find Dojin performing, who is startled to see Hye-sung in the audience. Approaching him with a face mask on, he is berated for how Hye-sung felt he was treated. Dojin joins his family who discusses the genetic make-up of their generation, and Dojin denies that he is meeting up with an Omega.

From a family who are mostly composed of Alphas yet Dojin disagrees with the assessment that such a family is incredible because of that. He is also the lead singer in a band named "Distortion" which is his current occupation. Attending a friend's party he would later contemplate this as a bad choice because Omegas were also invited to that party. Dojin saw his friend, the one who hosted the party, debating with Hye-sung that he looked like an Omega. He thought that his friend was pathetic for being unable to differentiate pheromones like he can. Dojin later came across Hye-sung in the comfort room and he smelled him. Disgusted, Park released his own pheromones to counteract Hye-sung's. Dojin does not feel what he sees as a heat cycle and adds what Hye-sung is experiencing is his problem. Nevertheless, he pulls Hye-sung away when he is approaching other guests and takes him home out of concern to rest. The next day Dojin thought he will never see Hye-sung again after walking out from him that morning. At a concert where Dojin performs, he finds and asks Hye-sung why he walked out on the person who offered him kindness. He is currently 27 years old [2]. He was born on November 2 [3]. Height: 185cm. Weight: roughly 81kg. Zodiac Sign: Scorpio This quote about the concept of love always bugs me and reading this makes me feel like it is the most elusive concept in the human history. Let me tell you a little bit about what I think love is.

BFFs who lie to you for months, hiding your partner away and trying to force them to leave the country. 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. This one ends up upsetting them both. 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. The very last sex scene is particularly horrible, with Dojin doing the Alpha equivalent of giving him a date rape drug (purposely releasing his pheromones around Hye-sung). What i liked from the beginning is the fact that Dojin realizes well what he has done and takes responsibility. I've read a lot of BLs i rarely see ones (especially manhwas) where there are feelings from the beginning and the story does not start with a rape or some kind of abuse.

Their beauty and talent is a given. Extremely rare, even more than DA. They control completely their omega pheromones outside heat period. So that's that. A review and a rant about this manhua. I would recommend it to people who don't have a problem with the dubious consent/sexual assult aspects and can over look it for the otherwise cuteness and interesting storyline. Look at that cover. Don't they look like a sweet and loving couple? Ha ha. Banish that thought from your mind. Maybe they eventually turn into that, I don't know, but their relationship in this first volume is nothing but rape and resentment.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. What nobody told me before, is that love is not something that can be defined and anyone who tries to define it is a big fat liar. Love is just what it is. Usually, it is determined by the age of twelve to fourteen whether or not someone is an Alpha or Omega. An Omega and Alpha cannot be distinguished that easily. It is generally decided by inheritance that someone becomes an Omega and they need to suppress their heat cycles by taking medicine. This is not a good BL. Probably an average BL. DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DO NOT LIKE DUBCON/NONCON IT IS DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF THOSE SERIES THAT IS UNPROBLEMATIC. It's not even problematic in like... a fun way. There's nothing fun to read about the main couple which is very dangerous considering the whole manhwa is a romance??? So???? Yeah????????????/

Looking at people who enjoy reading mature and smutty series, the stereotype is a sassy but submissive main character with a suave sexy dominant love interest. The main characters doesn't like the male lead, but their sexual chemistry is too strong. This baseline is very common in mature works of fiction and is taken in a new way in BL and omegaverse pieces of fiction. If your partner is saying: "Wait!" you wait. If they say "Stop!" you stop. If they say "I don't want this!" STOP!!!!!!! I don't care if someone thinks "Oh it's just a cute tsundere who doesn't know how to say he actually likes it and he loves it anyway so get over it." I would not be this frustrated about this one little detail if it weren't for the fact that I seriously loved EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF THIS MANHUA. Everything else I loved. I enjoyed the characters, the world building, the story lines to an extent. I just feel like if at least the mistakes of the main alpha stayed in the beginning of the story, I could get over it, but when he repeated the same mistake he had already made I lost faith in him as a character and felt so increadibly let down. Hye-sung and the BFF were honestly the most annoying parts for me. There is only so much Hye-sung’s “stupidity” could be used as an excuse for some of the frustrating choices he made through this book. The only likable characters here were Dojin’s family and sadly we don’t see them often enough to make reading this series enjoyable.The most intriguing thing about romantic love is that no matter how you started,—that is, whether you both agreed to just have a fling, or you are just in a Friends-with-Benefits kind of relationship, or a serious relationship or even a long distance relationship— you always end up having to deal with some form of battle. It could be jealousy, trust issues, cheating, not replying to text messages, and many other fights. Something just doesn’t seem right about romantic love. What is love? What is true and real love? Is it the one we see on TV? Is it the one described in Bible? Is it the one described by Louis? It starts as a fling, but they talk. They do things together that indicate that there is a mutual toleration, even enjoyment, of each others company. In-between the chapters where the first couple continues it is more succinctly written in what their relationship is and that it is a relationship where you can read it and go "yes, these two people are together, or that is a possibility" I'm reminded of Killing Stalking where people were upset about the non-consensual sex scenes among the multitude of morally wrong romance scenes in the manwha and heavily demonized people who enjoyed the medium. But I encourage people to recognize that not every piece of medium has to be wholesome and healthy to be enjoyable, and that many people can distinguish fiction from reality and would be the first people to intervene should they see a dynamic like that in real life. And all of this example to say the fundamental problem I have with this first couple; they don't seem to affect each other, or change, other than physically, sexually. They change because of Byul through out most of the arc, as their main crutch. They don't communicate like the other pairings do, if any at all, they seem to simply talk around each other and never solve that issue until a whole 74 chapters into the comic. They commit to each other with dialogue that sounds like a couple about ready to go through a divorce and I grew tired and frustrated by it when the other couples are contained within the same story. Love is an illusion, and it feels that way with Dojin and Hyesung until the very end, in-between the sex, the extremely decorated cute moments, and everyone fawning over their baby. I read somewhere that this was supposed to be a comedy, but I hardly laughed. Love Is an Illusion came on my radar because one) it's popular and two) it got a physical release by Seven Seas Entertainment.
