The kaizenix arc from Yoo Joonghyuks' perspective must have been wild.
He wakes up as the First Prince, on his wedding day, maybe even at the altar. It turns out his bride is Han Sooyoung, but before he can say anything, she turns the wedding into a bloodbath, killing half the royal family and usurping the throne. He escapes, gathers an army and allies and they both proceed to try and kill each other for the next two years up until and including the day Kim Dokja arrives. At some point during that period he gets captured by the Royalist forces and goes through the Han Sooyoung Sex Dungeon Experience™, but escapes.
On top of this, he specifically mentions to Kim Dokja that this scenario did happen in the alt-1863rd round (!!!) but the throne wasn't usurped and everything past that happened differently.
Now, we don't have any further details on 1863rd's kaizenix, but it makes me crazy to imagine what happened there. Because, even though 1863rd Han Sooyoung and Yoo Joonghyuk were enemies, they almost definitely both went through this scenario together.
Kaizenix arc was the most bdsm yoohan got in 3rd round. But then the whole 1863rd round was toxic yoohan bdsm, so if Yoo Joonghyuk was so suprised about his own kaizenix turning in that direction even after reading 1863rd rounds version, it must be because it notably wasn't bdsm AT ALL. maybe they somehow, despite everything, manage to have a normal marriage there, that 3rd turn Yoo Joonghyuk was reading the accounts of, feeling flabbergasted, while in some dark hideout on the run from his own, supposedly more normal Han Sooyoung.
Like, what if 1863rd yoohan, dropped in kaizenix at the same time, decide to make a truce and go with the romance genre, supposedly because it's 'easiest' (but actually that's just an excuse to live out their unattainable fantasy shh). afterwards they resume their twisted toxic mindfuck games, but for a while they were just had a normal medieval fantasy romance. the tragic, dramatic irony of his worst round having his happiest marriage (mirroring the 2nd round in some ways.)
the absolute peak of comedy of 3rd turn Yoo Joonghyuk, locked up in the sex dungeon, thinking 'where did I go so wrong?' Him promptly deciding to take all this shit to the grave and to never tell anyone any of this context. Iconic

My 10 Favorite Aggressive Flirts in BL
Sparked by this question from @yousaygoodbyeandisay and the ensuing discussion. So we are going with aggressive flirts, not necessarily good or super successful flirts. Ready? These are my personal favorites, there are A LOT to choose from.
1. Wen Ke Xing - Word of Honor
Signature moves? Waving around a big deadly fuck-off fan, calling his husband soulmate and perfect, recognizing the innate beauty in swords and shoulder blades, adopting adult children, killing everyone and everything else.
You know I don’t ordinarily mention Chinese stuff, but in a post about flirting. I would be so remiss if I didn’t include this absolute king of all the censored flirts to ever pick up a deadly man in a pastel robe.
2. Win - Until We Meet Again
His signature moves? The casual arm throw, stripping down to show his tattoos, cuddling, stealing a potato chip in the most iconic way humanly possible.
3. Shin - Minato’s Laundromat
Signature moves? Cooking and feeding, looming, constant requests to be allowed further intimacy and care duties, open displays of attention and interest.
4. YooHan - Color Rush
Signature moves? Causing his man to faint, learning about and talking about color, using said knowledge to seduce, lots of dates, breaking him out of conversion therapy mental hospital, running away with him.
5. Nosue-san - Old Fashion Cupcake
Signature moves? Pretending(?) he doesn’t know what a flirt he is, collecting women, using girly voice and cuteness, wistful need for pancakes, three piece suits.
6. JaeYoung - Semantic Error
Signature moves? Teasing, the ultimate gentle bully, appearing in all classes, being hyper good at art, all the pretty angles, running off the competition, seme subscription service.
7. King - My Engineer
Signature moves? Texting, seduction through nerdiness, calling himself cute, learning how to communicate with an extreme introvert, love = plants, drunk kisses.
8. Jack - HIStory 3 Trapped
Signature moves? Cooking and feeding his man, deep conversation, matching horny for horny, giving up his whole life to go legit for his cop bf, knife play.
9. Forth - 2 Moons 2
Signature moves? One night stands, hazing freshmen into courting doctors, pouring a water bottle over his bare chest, glaring, really good kisses.
10. SeoJoon - Too My Star
Signature moves? Human puppy, innate fragility, personal hygiene demands, enthusiasm, fluffy sweaters.

KiJin - Behind Cut
RoA - Love Class
Wild Dog - Long Time No See
SangHa - Mr Heart
Jung Woo - My Sweet Dear
Korea loves an aggressive flirt.
OTHERS FROM THAILAND
Yok - Not Me Signature moves? Taunting and verbal repartee, drawing his man nekid, artistic bad boy eccentricity.
Tan - Manner of Death Signature moves? Cuffs, lesbian u-haul action, adopting children (plants, youths, local malcontents), shooting bad guys.
Ming - 2 Moons franchise Signature moves? Brutal honesty, direct communication, openness about feelings, winning the hotness contests.

OTHERS
Naoya - Mr Unlucky Signature moves? Consistent pursuit, kiss first ask questions after, devout sincerity, stripping down for “exercise.”

Nat Nam - You Are Ma Boy
Younger seme + old uke inevitably yields up extreme flirting because of the power imbalance.
Reluctant/tsundere seme + needy uke, however, usually also results in flirting but this kind:
Desperate & Crazy Flirts
Prime examples? LuLin in My Esports Genius Brother or Nampu in Top Secret Together or Yi in Coffee Melody. Intouch in UWMA, Fiat - TharnType 2, Don’t Say No.
A lot of these are aggressive autonomous ukes forced to undertake seme role by the narrative.
Bully Flirts
These are usually tsundere semes or all powerful semes (CEO, spoiled rich kids, bosses, mafia, etc) face with extreme tsundere ukes.
Prime examples?
Gu Hai - Addicted Signature moves? Ultimate pigtail pulling, all the pranks. Moving himself in, climbing into bed with his man, kidnapping.
Sib - Lovely Writer Signature moves? Cohabitation, acting like a couple in public, calling baby CUTE constantly, switching linguistic registers, slightly sinister.
Kiyoi - Utsukushii Kare Signature moves? Calling his bf disgusting or gross, ordering him around, demanding attention, demanding honest love, watch me lose my mind over this glorious BL here
There are quite a few other bullies particularly out of China and Taiwan, they should probubly get their own post, but they mostly fall into whipping boy. Also I might throw in: Fighter in Why R U?, Tharn and Type in TharnType, Rio from Pornographer series, Gui from Takumi-kun, HooTing from H3:MODC, Kamol in Unforgotten Night, Kinn in KinnPorsche, Athip in What Zabb Man.
CODICIL
This is a long post. I probubly won’t keep it updated because there are so many already. If you have one you want added, mention in a comment.
Otherwise, this is fixed as of Aug 2022. Not responsible for flirts who come after.
Devil Judge not included.

I think something that's interesting about face blindness is that they often only see in color. Yoohan touching Yeonwoo's hair is likely linked to those with colorblindness who tend to remember a person by their hairstyle or how they dress.
So you've got one boy who can remember every face he meets, unable to forget his own mother's portrait, yet he can't see a single color, and then you've got a boy who can only see in vibrant color and can't remember the faces of anyone he loves.
He's asking Yeonwoo to let him show him his world. It's actually really intimate when you think about it. Yoohan wants to show Yeonwoo the world through his eyes.
Yeonwoo is so caught up in his own mono fears and his own history to see his life playing out in front of him. Yoohan is his probe because he's the one who can hold all of Yeonwoo's feelings. He's the one who can set boundaries and take away the fear he has. And it's Yoohan's lack of fear that's important. What underlies the color rush is love. Yoohan can love all the parts of Yeonwoo even the parts he's ashamed of because he isn't afraid.
We see the show through the lens of Yeonwoo's very closed mind. Yoohan is fearlessly falling in love with someone who he can't potentially 'see' or pick out in a crowd. Yeonwoo selfishly wants something from him (and he struggles with that) and Yoohan knows it but he's still willing to let Yeonwoo in. More than that, he welcomes him. Give me everything, I'll love you anyway.
Man, Yoohan is an icon and we don't deserve him.
