🌺 ABOUT THE MANHWA (read it here)

Bayan is an outcast amongst the Siyo, a people who have healing powers. Considered worthless because she doesn’t have the ability to heal others, Bayan is sent to the court of Dhan, the Great Sun Emperor, who is cursed with unrelenting bloodlust and slaughters his concubines mercilessly. It seems that Bayan’s fate is sealed the moment she reaches the emperor’s palace and Dhan is fated to suffer from madness forever... But together, Bayan and Dhan just might be able to change each other’s destiny.

Elixir Of The Sun is a historical romance about our main characters Dhan and Bayan overcoming fate and finding love in one another through trials and tribulations. The Manwha is adapted from the light novel "Lord Of The Sun" written by Soldam and does contain dark, sensitive and explicitly adult scenes where as the manhwa is careful to tone it down for a mature audience.

🌺 TRIGGER WARNINGS!

Should you choose to read Elixir Of The Sun, please keep in mind that:

- sexual violence is part of its story in terms of information (no scene is ever depicted but there is a close call regarding the main character in chapters 9 & 10)

- depictions of self inflicted injuries (the main character has healing blood and has to stab herself multiple times throughout the story)

- a failed un-aliving attempt in chapters 41 & 42. The main character was sleepwalking.

- In Chapters 110 - 115 there is a extreme depiction of excessive blood and violence but no gore is present.

Thankfully, the story doesn't force its plot to have these things as the main point, it merely uses these plot devices to reinforce and focus on the romance and subtle fantasy plot surrounding the bond of Bayan and Dhan.

I just gotta say I love that they kept the FL in pastels!!!!! Yes to strong badass female characters being feminine!!!

Also as a fan of the webtoon... (SPOILER ALERT) I'm so sad they got rid of Jewon Hyeon!!!! Like I get that adding him would have made the storyline more complicated and they don't have that much time to flesh out the whole him dying and his backstory, it being a drama and all... but I'll miss my baby!!!! I was so looking forward to watching him!!!! When i first saw Jung Hye's secretary I thought it was Hyeon because of his looks and the glasses but his actions sure proved me wrong

Looking forward to the changes they've made... not really but🥺🤷‍♀️

Also someone please explain why people are complaining about Yi-Ju!!!! Like seriously don't get why they think her character is inconsistent!!! Helppp

Kdramas I have watched

92. Bloodhounds

I'm a huge fan of Woo Do-hwan so obviously this show was on my radar. I thought it was a show revolving around boxing so I didn't have high hopes...I don't like sports 🤷

I was hooked on this show from the very beginning, who doesn't love rooting for the underdogs?? And especially when they look like that!! The bromance is incredible in this show and I love that they instantly hit it off as opposed to an enemies to friends trope. Ain't nobody got time for that with only 8 episodes.

I liked the dynamic with Gun-woo, Woo-jin and Hyeon-ju, I expected great things from them. This show gets really dark but there's also many light hearted moments. It was incredible how Sang-yi and Do-hwan could be these fluffy innocent dorky guys and then beat the crap out of a large group of thugs. Brilliant acting from them both.

In such a short time I grew so attached to these characters but I knew someone would die...I was not expecting the way it happened 😭 and for therapy they offer us a shirtless, sweaty training montage.....😄

Tiny spoiler incoming:

There was just one thing I didn't like about the show, Hyeon-ju's character's disappearance. I kept waiting for her to return and she obviously didn't and it didn't feel right. After watching the show I discovered the actress was removed because of some scandal but I am annoyed that it affected the story. I need to know what they had originally planned for her character!!

I loved this show from start to end and I am highly recommending it. Try to binge it in a day because each episode ends with awful cliffhangers.

Behind Your Touch Episode 16: Han Ji Min & Lee Min Ki Solve the Mystery and Find Love

Behind Your Touch Episode 16 was the finale of the popular JTBC drama that starred Han Ji Min, Lee Min Ki, and Suho. The series combined comedy, thriller, and fantasy elements to tell the story of a psychic veterinarian and a hot-blooded detective who teamed up to solve crimes in a small town. The last episode wrapped up the main plot and gave a satisfying ending to the characters and their relationships.

The Culprit and His Motive

(Photo : JTBC Official Instagram) The mystery behind the serial murders in Mujin was finally revealed in Behind Your Touch Episode 16. The culprit was none other than Park Jong Bae (Park Hyuk Kwon), the shaman who had been helping the police with his fake psychic abilities. He was actually a psychopath who enjoyed killing people and animals for fun. He had been using Bong Ye Bun’s (Han Ji Min) power to read the memories of his victims and manipulate them. He also had a personal motive for his crimes. He blamed Moon Jang Yeol (Lee Min Ki) for the death of his son, who was killed by a car accident while Jang Yeol was chasing a suspect. He wanted to make Jang Yeol suffer by killing his friends and colleagues, such as Cha Ju Man (Lee Seung Joon), Jung Eui Hwan (Yang Jae Seong), and Kim Seon Woo (Suho). He also kidnapped Bae Ok Hee (Joo Min Kyung), Ye Bun’s best friend, and tried to kill her.

The Final Showdown

(Photo : JTBC Official Instagram) Ye Bun and Jang Yeol managed to track down Jong Bae and rescue Ok Hee in Behind Your Touch Episode 16. They also confronted him about his crimes and his motive. Jong Bae admitted that he was the killer and that he enjoyed playing with their lives. He also revealed that he had killed Seon Woo, who was Ye Bun’s crush and Jang Yeol’s suspect. Jong Bae then tried to escape by stabbing random people on the street, but Ye Bun used her power to locate him. She bravely faced him and held him at knifepoint, demanding him to surrender. Jang Yeol arrived soon after and shot Jong Bae in the leg, arresting him for good.

The Happy Ending

(Photo : JTBC Official Instagram) After solving the case, Ye Bun and Jang Yeol returned to their normal lives in Mujin. They also confessed their feelings for each other and started dating. They had a cute and sweet relationship, despite their different personalities and lifestyles. They also continued to work together on minor cases, using Ye Bun’s power and Jang Yeol’s skills. They became a famous duo in Mujin, earning the respect and admiration of the people. The other characters also had their happy endings in Behind Your Touch Episode 16. Ok Hee recovered from her trauma and became more confident and cheerful. She also opened her own hair salon with the help of her friends. Won Jong Mook (Kim Hee Won) and Jung Hyeon Ok (Park Sung Yeon) got married and rekindled their love. Na Mi Ran (Jung Yi Rang) divorced her cheating husband and found a new love interest. Bae Deok Hee (Jo Min Guk) became a successful detective and moved to Seoul. The finale episode ended with a humorous scene of Ye Bun and Jang Yeol running away from a group of angry female prisoners, whom Ye Bun had read their memories for Jang Yeol’s investigation.

The Netizens’ Reactions

(Photo : JTBC) The viewers of Behind Your Touch Episode 16 were satisfied with the finale and praised the cast and crew for their excellent work. They also expressed their love for the drama and its unique genre mix. Here are some of their comments: - “This drama was so fun and refreshing. I loved the chemistry between Han Ji Min and Lee Min Ki. They were so cute together.” - “I’m glad they caught the killer and revealed his motive. He was so creepy and evil. I felt sorry for Suho’s character though. He deserved better.” - “This drama made me laugh, cry, and feel excited. It was a perfect balance of comedy, thriller, and fantasy. I’m going to miss it so much.” - “Han Ji Min is such a versatile actress. She can do any genre and role. She was so charming as Ye Bun. Lee Min Ki was also amazing as Jang Yeol. He was so handsome and charismatic.” - “This drama was one of the best this year. It had a great story, cast, OST, cinematography, etc. It deserves more recognition and ratings.” What did you think of Behind Your Touch Episode 16? Did you enjoy the finale?

My 2022 Kdrama Roundup

Making my 2022 cdrama roundup is taking too long (...I watched so many fuckign cdramas this year) so, since I watched considerably less kdramas, I decided to just do a post of them first!

KDRAMAS I FINISHED THIS YEAR:

The King's Affection--A kdrama targeting me personally. A crossdressing female crown prince would have been enough, but did she have to be so lethal? So handsome? Did she have to be good at both archery and swordfighting? And schemey? And did her love interest have to be a bisexual Rowoon? I was Attacked. My favorite kdrama of this year!

Eve--I'm always here for a solid Monte Cristo. Just people coming back with a new identity to fuck up the lives of those who wronged them. Lee Ra-el really goes for it. The drama, the angst, the fashion! Also the femslashy tension with Han So-ra was great, I need more female archnemeses in my life. The only thing is I didn't really like the actual romance that much? Maybe I just don't understand the tango.

Alice, the Final Weapon--More of a miniseries. The dynamic is a female assassin/a kind of suicidal masochist who becomes more invested in life after meeting her. And they're both highschoolers? Honestly the only way to sell me on a teenage romance is to make it this insane, I did enjoy.

The Silent Sea--Ngl it did creep me out a lot. The lunar water, that is. Didn't feel super connected in the characters bc this show is more about plot, concept, and action than character development, but it was quite tense and I was certainly invested in whether they were going to survive.

KDRAMAS I ALMOST FINISHED BUT DID NOT BUT WILL FINISH IN 2023, OKAY? REALLY!

Alchemy of Souls--I love Naksu/Mudeok! I love her fucked up mentorship with Jang Uk, especially in the early episodes where her attitude is just "throw him at death and see what happens". Also enjoy the obnoxious crown prince lols. I have only two episodes left (of the first season, at least) and have enjoyed both the scheming and the character development, but I have to say it can sometimes be a bit slow, and I don't care that much about ALL the supporting characters that have to have their moment in the limelight EVERY episode. (Park Jin and Park Dang-gu, I'm looking at you!)

Flower of Evil--New obsession! I had to stop watching for a week or so bc I was just bingeing too fast and losing sleep lols. The suspense is way up there, the whump is a thing of beauty, and I found myself super invested in Do Hyeon-su's life of fake (but come on, it's not really fake!) domestic bliss. Just so intense. I was kind of scared off by the hype for this show when it first came out but the hype is real, this show is incredible. Just hope the ending lives up to the rest of it.

Connect--An enjoyable thriller, but I don't really see why you have to make the antagonist of a show that already has organ traffickers, mad science and mutants... a random serial killer? On the other hand I do love his weird vibe with the surprisingly normal mutant MC so. I am not immune to serial killer antagonists.

OVERALL

A good year for morally dubious female protagonists (yes, I am including Lee Hwi/Dam-yi! she comes very close to murder multiple times and I am including her!). I watched less kdrama thrillers than usual bc I was watching cdrama thrillers instead, but the ones I watched were enjoyable. I want more fanfic for all of these shows but the fanfic wants I have are immensely specific so I should probably just write some but we will see.

[dreamingkdrama]

Bloodhounds

Genre: Action, Crime, Bromance

Episodes: 8

Starring: Woo Do-Hwan, Lee Sang-Yi, Park Sang-Woong, Heo Jun-Ho

Synopsis: Two young boxers set foot in the world of private loans. Trying to protect their loved ones and help all the poor people affected by the loan shark mafia, they start to work for a legendary president Choi and fight the the bad guys.

Positives: Action packed, but with very well depicted and likabke characters. The main duo is one of the best bromances I have ever seen, they are pure gold. I appreciate the suprising plot twists, fight scenes, intimidating villain and the boxing training scenes... you now what I mean...

Negatives: I would prefer more episodes, this story would deserve to be longer, it was a little bit rushed for me, but this won't be a problem if you are looking for something shorter. I also think that the way how they get rid of the Kim Hyeon-Ju (after some problems with the actress) was not the best thing, when they put all the effort to make her character so well set. Her storyline is not ended very satisfyingly.

Conclusion: Really great action drama with lot of fight scenes, blood, violence and all mafia stuff. The story is really dark, sometimes seems a little bit rushed, but the main two characters are so cute together that it is worth to watch it just for them two. I also give a one point for incorporation od COVID pandemy to the plot.

Action: 9/10 Romance: 1/10 Intriques: 7/10 Blood: 9/10 Whump: 8/10 Friendship: 10/10 Emotions: 9/10 Humor: 5/10

[meherya]

Let’s talk Bloodhounds and how we need Netflix to lose the rights to stream kdramas

Honestly, if it wasn’t for Woo Do Hwan I wouldn’t even be here... but we support princess peach lips so we were sat for the whole 8 episodes.

I feel like the show started off pretty strong, it was interesting to see how they incorporated COVID-19 to be an integral part of the story. The character introductions were decent and the pacing wasn’t too bad the first half of the show. The fight scenes were amazing I do have to say, whoever did the fight choreo outsold truly.

I think everything went downhill end of episode 5/start of episode 6, and that partly has to do with the fact that we only had like 3 episodes left to wrap everything up. After their homebase gets destroyed, and all the senior ex-loan sharks are killed, there was potential for the stakes to be even higher for Gun Woo and Co. but it felt like it fizzled out right after.

They spent a good portion of time showing how the Hyeon Ju, Gun Woo, Woo Jin trio developed and after Mr. Choi’s death they were like oop she’s leaving!!!! While I get that they show Hyeon Ju is averse to the violence required to do what needs to be done earlier in the show, I think it would’ve been a turning point for her character to see how Smile Capital destroyed her life making her willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge.... instead they had her run off like okay?

I know the focus of the show was always Gun Woo and his bromance with Woo Jin and boxing but I think they really did Hyeon Ju a disservice with that “It’s too painful to be here”... and after that the stakes just seemed non-existent? The ending was rushed, like okay we get obvious fan service scenes of the two guys training and deciding to take down Myeong Gil but at the same time it was like... Who cares about that annoying chaebol and his cop cousin... I didn’t care if the video got released, I had no attachment to this loser. Obviously, they were a stepping stone for Gun Woo/Woo Jin to use to take down Myeong Gil but it felt very lackluster...

The use of Mr. Oh and his granddaughter to give Gun Woo a moment of reflection like “I don’t want to repeat history” was so.... I don’t know how to put this eloquently but I think this Netflix formula of having less than 10 episodes really fucked with the writing bc most characters aren’t given time to process their thoughts and emotions after something huge happens.. at least that was how it felt like to me!! The episode restraint also seemed to really fuck with the writing with how everything wrapped up in the last third of the show, not to mention the last minute character introductions? The dirty cop? The granddaughter too, while she was cool... it was like once again idk her!!... The ending felt rushed, and the final fight scenes...... LAME!!!!!!! Do Hwan and Sang Yi looked slayful but other than that... what was the point...

I think it would’ve been cool to get an insight into Myeong Gil himself like why is he the way he is, how did he come across his little crew?? Not much character work was being done in this show :/

The time jump post-Mr. Choi also was kind of muddy, and I feel like it would’ve been a much more interesting turn if the jump was a few years and included the boys training while Hyeon Ju carefully builds up a network again... Instead we had a ??? time jump with Him and Himbo just doing cold calls with their old allies in hopes that someone bites....

I need Dramafever to come back to kdramas don’t have to rely on Netflix to reach an international audience because come on...

EDIT:

NOT ME FINDING OUT THAT HYEON JU’S ACTRESS WAS ON TRIAL FOR A DUI AND THAT’S WHY THEY RANDOMLY CUT HER GIRL ???? UM ANYWAYS..... WATCH TALE OF THE NINE TAILED 1938 FOR THE FANTASY KDRAMA OF 2K23

Synopsis

This KDrama was aired on October 15 of 2022, going for 16 episodes.This drama is set on a fictional Joseon dynasty, with a strong queen who would give up all protocols as she struggles to make her trouble making sons into princes.

Opinion

This is a very good series, I binge watched it in a few days. I loved the queen! How strong, resourceful, and independent she was. I loved all the characters, especially the queen and prince Seongnam. I also loved how the king was very supportive of her. The series had a lot of different topics, from motherhood to sexuality. It's a drama series. There are no gore or sex scenes. I recommend this series to anyone who likes history dramas.

You can watch on Netflix

Updates to the Rogue Kids and Their Home Lives, also some Rogue Kids-verse Updates

Firstly, as far as I’m concerned the Rogue Kids-verse is still continuous with @the-mighty-sorceress​‘s rogue kids content I’m just updating the current Rogue Kids notes.

As some baseline housekeeping there are some changes to ages and names:

Age Order is now: Ellie (17), Leo (17), Tobi (17), Barbara & Todd (17), Aisling (17), Hunter (17), Lavender (17), Gwen (16), Zeke (16), Dorothy (16), Clover (16), Lizzie (16), Ayah (16), Max (15), Violet (15), Marcus (15), Eva (14), Pluto (14), Aiden (14), Cosette (14), Niall (13), Jeremy (11).

There are a bunch of new full names I will include in an updated stat page when I get the chance.

Most notably a lot of Rogue kids now have two named parents instead of making their non-rogue parents nameless and in the void.

WonderCrow elements were removed, I didn’t think they fit anymore.

Tobi

So, I’ve brought up consistently that Zach adopted Tobi, which he did.  Zach was close personal friends with Jae-Min Park, Tobi’s father, and Jae-Min and his wife, Se-Hyeon, named Zach their son, Yi-Seul’s, godfather.  However, the year after Yi-Seul was born, there was a break in, and Jae-Min and Se-Hyeon were killed.  Tobi’s legal first name is still Yi-Seul, Zach didn’t change it, but he goes by Tobi in public.  Zach owns a tattoo parlor and lives over it, which gives Tobi a pretty stable home life, though he does struggle a lot with the loss of his parents, just as Zach struggles with the loss of such a close friend.

Dorothy & Pluto

Dorothy and Pluto live with both their parents, Jonathan and Ophelia.  Ophelia is a well-known horror author who draws from both her love of classic gothic literature and the Cree folklore she grew up with.  Jonathan, after retiring the Scarecrow, ended up being reinvited to teach at Gotham University–provided he had a relatively clean bill of mental health.  Jonathan and Ophelia are raising Dorothy and Pluto in Gotham, and their home life is relatively stable, or as stable as a household with Jonathan in it can get.

Zeke

Zeke’s home life is probably my biggest change, since Harvey no longer has custody of Zeke.  Instead, Zeke lives with his mother, Harvey’s ex-fiancee  Grace Lamont.  Zeke kept the name they’d already planned and Harvey is aware of him.  Grace is a good parent, a lot of Zeke’s issues stem from Harvey’s inconsistent presence in his life.  Harvey…isn’t a great parent.  His temper can be explosive and violent, and during periods where Zeke has been in contact with him, they’ve consistently ended with Harvey getting physically abusive.  Further, he’s often very critical of Zeke’s appearance.  Grace does her best to mitigate Harvey’s effect on her son, and in the current timeline they have a protective order against Harvey, who has broken it multiple times.  She and Zeke are extremely close as a result of their shared trauma, and a lot of the retired gallery has gathered to keep them safe.

Eva

Eva lives predominantly with Nora and her stepfather Francis D’Anjou.  Victor doesn’t interact with his daughter very closely and in fact avoids Eva and Nora, believing his presence is a dark spot on their otherwise happy life.  Francis and Eva have a strained relationship due to Francis’ own hangups about living with the daughter of a Gotham Rogue, but Nora and Eva’s relationship is very good.

Violet

Violet and Max live together still, now with the addition of a mother, Sofia.  Max and Sofia both play in an orchestra and Violet is their cherished daughter.  Violet’s home life is extremely stable.

Clover & Lavender

Lavender and Clover are plant-human hybrids Pamela created on her own.  Pamela works in botany and raises her two children as best she can.  Pamela’s parenting is…interesting.  She struggles with denying her children of anything, but has a hard time hiding her disapproval.  As stable as Lavender and Clover’s lives are, they definitely do rebel a lot more than Pamela thinks they do.

Ayah & Hunter

Ayah and Hunter live predominantly with their mother, Delilah.  This isn’t to say she and Waylon are separated, but Waylon keeps his distance from his family, often overworking himself doing odd jobs.  Delilah works at Leslie Thompkin’s Clinic as a doctor, and looks after Ayah and Hunter most of the time.  Waylon’s distance is a result of Ayah and Hunter inheriting a less severe version of his condition, bearing small scale growths and the reptilian eyes (Ayah also inherited the sharp teeth).  No matter how much Delilah loves Waylon and her children, Waylon has deeply ingrained insecurities he can’t let go of.

Aiden & Cosette

So Aiden and Cosette both have surrogate mothers, friends of Garfield and Drury who were willing to give the two chances to be fathers.  Drury and Garfield are married and live together with Aiden and Cosette, Drury as an artist and Garfield still at his job with WayneTech.  Aiden is on the spectrum, something Drury and Garfield do consistently manage but it can be a struggle especially since they also have to juggle their own mental health.  Regardless, Aiden and Cosette are very happy and healthy.  They also get to see their mothers, Estelle and Ivette, regularly.

Aisling, Max, & Niall

Lonnie’s three kids all still have different mothers, but only Max ever spent time in the custody of his grandparents.  Lonnie was cut off from Aisling and Max until Aisling was fifteen and Max was thirteen, mostly due to the work of his parents.  Aisling’s mother, Siobhan, had the wherewithal to not trust Lonnie’s parents with her daughter.  Molly, Max’s mother, got very sick when Max was six, and gave Max to his paternal grandparents out of desperation.  Aisling’s childhood was fairly happy, but Siobhan had to deal with a lot of harassment from Lonnie’s parents, including repeated CPS calls.  Max spent his seven years with his grandparents being repeatedly abused, and Lonnie barely got custody of him back.  In that time, Lonnie had youngest, Niall, and married Niall’s mother, Erin.  Thanks to the legal battle, Aisling splits her time with Siobhan and Lonnie, but spends most of her time with Siobhan.  Max and Niall are primarily in Lonnie’s custody since Molly is unable to care for Max.  Lonnie works at WayneTech and works hard to provide for his children.  His relationship with Aisling is strained because of his absence in her life, and much of his time with Max is spent trying to mitigate some of the damage done.  Erin and Max have a difficult relationship, not that Erin isn’t trying but Max is very close to his mother and has trouble adjusting to the concept that his parents aren’t together.  Niall’s childhood was happy, but he’s going through a small case of dethroning, especially with how much time Max and his trauma often take up.

Ellie & Lizzie

Edward and Selina made the decision to retire from Rogue activities when Selina realized she was pregnant with Ellie.  They married after Ellie was born and had Lizzie a few years later.  Edward does freelance IT, predominantly for WayneTech and Janus Industries, and Selina works at her parents’ cafe with the understanding that she’ll probably take over ownership.  Ellie and Lizzie’s home life is stable and Selina and Edward had a lot of support from Selina’s parents early on.

Barbara & Todd

So, Joker is not a fixed presence in Todd and Barbara’s lives, he’s actually not even their legal father.  R’as al Ghul’s separation of Joker and Jack still happened in the Rogue Kids-verse, and thus Jack is considered their father by the courts, which pisses off Joker immensely.  Jack and Harley own and operate a bakery called Jester’s Sweets and live over the bakery.  While Joker makes occasional appearances in their lives and these appearances can be frightening, Joker avoids Jack like the plague and Jack has made a fairly consistent effort to teach Todd and Barbara how to fight back.  As an additional note, Todd and Barbara’s names are now more tributes by Jack than jokes by Joker, evidenced further by their middle names: Reagan (Jack’s father) and Jeanne (Jack’s first wife).  Aside from Joker’s occasional appearances, Todd and Barbara live a fairly happy life.

Leo

Leo’s mother, Anita, teaches Linguistics at Gotham University.  When Leo was little, Angel still did some work in the underground as Bane, but chose to stop for Leo and Anita’s sake.  Currently he works at WayneTech (a pattern you’ll see with a lot of retired Rogues).  Leo’s home life is fairly stable, though Angel and Anita’s house does serve sometimes as a shelter for vigilantes and rogues alike.

Gwen

Gwen was adopted by Barbara Gordon very early on, specifically because Gwen’s mother, Mary, didn’t trust herself to care for Gwen properly, and Gwen’s father, Jervis, wasn’t allowed to care for her for a myriad of reasons.  Barbara makes sure Gwen’s home life is stable and happy, and Mary has some visitation with her daughter.  Their relationship is good, but Mary’s more of an aunt than a mother.  Gwen’s relationship with Jervis is distant, nearly nonexistent.  He returned to Cornwall after a while and now he only sends the occasional card.

Jeremy

Jason’s vigilante work with the Outsiders kind of hits a hiccup when Jeremy becomes a factor in his life, especially since Jeremy’s mother, Valerie, isn’t very keen on raising Jeremy alone (and Jason isn’t about to make her).  Jason does make the effort to keep up his vigilante work, and Valerie’s pretty alright with living on the road.  I can go into how Jeremy feels about it because it’s not always the coolest continuous roadtrip ever, but the household is stable for a growing boy.

Marcus

Here’s a bit of a complex issue.  Marcus does live with his parents, Louise and George, but because both are regularly working abroad, Marcus has spent a lot of time in his grandfather Arnold’s house, which means he has spent a lot of time around Scarface, who realistically should not be in charge of children even slightly.  Marcus’ parents didn’t have the knowledge to kneep Marcus away from Arnold until much later, and by then, the damage had already been done to Marcus’ mental health.  Louise and George do work to keep Marcus’ life stable, but they remain frequently busy.

I have no idea why I'm crying over these scenes...

------------------------------------------------------‐

Gong Pil-Du quickly summoned his Armed Fortress and supported Yi Hyeon-Seong from behind. He then shouted out. “If I help, we can endure for a bit longer! So, hurry up and rescue that fool!”

The companions looked at each other.

“Hold each other’s hands, everyone!” Jeong Hui-Won grabbed onto Yi Hyeon-Seong with one hand, and extended the other. “Unleash your Fables all at once!”

That outstretched hand was held by Yi Seol-Hwa, then Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong held on to her other hand. The hands of two children were then connected to Yi Ji-Hye.

Persephone, as well as Yi Su-Gyeong, followed them right after.

“Kim Dok-Ja! Wake up!!”

Jang Ha-Yeong grabbed Yi Su-Gyeong’s hand and cried out, while Yu Sang-Ah caught her extended hand next.

“Su-Yeong-ssi!”

The last person to grab the outstretched hand was Han Su-Yeong.

“….I got you."

●●●

[Stigma, ‘Character Summon’, is activating!]

The individual she had written, but she didn’t know of.

[Character, ‘Yu Jung-Hyeok’, is answering the call!]

“Hold on tight.”

A man descended with the rays of light. Yu Jung-Hyeok’s powerful hand grabbed hers. Han Su-Yeong endured against her eyes tearing up and shouted back at him.

“You hold on tight, instead!”

From Yi Hyeon-Seong to Yu Jung-Hyeok, the companions’ Fable began to glow brightly.

To get this far, they had lost many things.

“Jung-Hyeok-ssi! We leave it in your hands!”

“Master! Hurry!”

However, it wasn’t as if they had been losing things only.

Yu Jung-Hyeok extended his hand out.
