Missing Love: The Marrying Man

Description

Thrown into the ruthless world of gangsters as a prostitute, Geom has seen all the ugliest sides of humanity. After a brutal eight years of being off the grid, he reunites with Wooyeon, the man he once loved, to congratulate him on his upcoming marriage. Recognizing Wooyeon as a light within a very deep, dark abyss, Geom finds himself being drawn to him all over again. But with each of his ankles shackled by the twisted Rieder and the obsessive Prosecutor Lee, is there truly any hope of salvation? (Source: tappytoon)

Meh

Art is beautiful. Story Subject is dark and twisted (which I am not opposed to). But the story just DRAGGED. Way too slow of a burn for me. I dropped it around chapter 40.

I can only hope that sex trafficking is not as bad as this.

The artwork is unparalleled. The subject matter - sex trafficking - is really, really dark and is treated even more bleakly.

This work makes me wonder about the realities of sex trafficking. Are there actually people who go to these lengths? (I can only hope not.) How do victims of sex trafficking manage to survive? What must they do to keep themselves going? And are lending laws so messed up in South Korea that loan sharks and its dire consequences are as prevalent as manhwas suggest? If so, life becomes so much more precarious for people vulnerable to predatory lending.

If you can stomach the sexual violence, this work is worth reading.

Many people might flinch at the subject but given that sex trafficking is so prevalent worldwide I really appreciated that the psychology of the MC feels pretty well realized given his experiences. And respect that he is portrayed as such a strong character.

Of course the art is amazing and necessary to draw you into the story.

Happy endings are a matter of perspective and depends on where you end the story.

I don’t mind dark, angsty stories. They’re not my favorite, but if they’re done well, I can usually deal with difficult storylines. This one, despite its beautiful art, is too much for me. The sexual violence is way more than what I can comfortably handle and the kinks are too over the top. But it is written well — I find myself wanting to know what kind of ending Geom and Wooyeon will get, even though I’m sure it won’t be a happy one.

This may not be my cup of tea, but there’s definitely an audience for these types of plots, so if you’re a fan of darker stories, certainly give this one a look.

the art fits the heavy atmosphere of the story. Definitely a must read for readers that likes and can handle angsty and dreadful smut violent tropes.

I like the translation and how the author can portray such a pitiful character and how it shows the struggle of lee wooeyon, he's such a different vibe from our mc and even if it's annoying every time he tries to meddle in(that it's embarrassing and just annoying because what if reider and the chairman just caught them off and killed him off and lock up our mc because of his foolishness to help). im still in fewer chapters but i definitely can keep going. it's such a story i want to look away because it's so angsty but i wanna continue to see if there's gonna be an ending to our dear mc's ruined life

T.T i wanna see em genuinely be happy even if they have to kill everyone to get it

Aw, I was hoping for a happy ending. Stopped reading at ch. 2 when I realized I can't stand cheating... even the hint of it.

I like it, i love the art, and as the person who can handle dark heavy story, i think the story is good, they have lot potential, author-nim do a good job write the story

And for the character itself, the mc is someone that we can sympathetic with, like at first maybe we frustrated seeing him shove wooyeon away, but he actually not bad character, it's not like he have a choice, but to do so, our poor mc

And from 2? or 3? ml, honestly all of them hot, but imho lee wooyeon is the only who is likeable, another ml is psycho and treat our mc like a shit (tbh i don't mind psycho or yandere ml, i actually enjoy the trope) but in this story, i guess i don't really like how ml character (except wooyeon) treated our mc, but still the author did good job at create their character and potrait them, and tbh i not agree with comment that said its wasted potential, heavy story content doesn't mean bad story, if you doesn't like then dont read it's as simple as that, overall it's interesting

Wasted potential

Unfortunately, it's sad to see someone with such amazing art talent wasting it on such a disgusting toxic story, as the author herself wrote on Twitter, if anyone expects them to have a happy relationship...should stop reading this series... most people read only for drawing anyway or just to see just more and more smut in every possible kink (sex sells the best, right? 😒), in general, showing rape as something beautiful is just simply bad.... it's a shame that each new plot twist is added just to show more toxic sex scenes, very graphic ones, and how mc is treated like a masturbator....I like well portraited stories, even those toxic ones, but not forced ones, and lately authors add more and more just to fit the 'sexual yaoi needs', we'll see...I don't enjoy the read so far (I guess I'm mostly disgusted with the attitude and approach of the author on Twitter) everything was supposed to change from chapter 41, nothing for now....maybe Geom will finally try to break those ties and leave this toxic environment... but probably we'll need to wait longer, as for now I would treat this series more like porn than a proper story...
So...last chapters only confirmed... this is getting only more and more pathetic...
