Love Is an Illusion came on my radar because one) it's popular and two) it got a physical release by Seven Seas Entertainment. 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.

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. 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!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. 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. Hye-sung spent his entire life believing he was an Alpha, the top of the genetic lottery. But his world is flipped upside down when he finds out he isn’t a proud Alpha, but a lowly Omega. After this revelation, he continuously crosses paths with Dojin, an Alpha who can’t stand Omegas. When their physical union results in a life-changing event, the two men's hot-and-cold relationship is put to the ultimate test

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. Hye-sung has spent his entire life thinking he was a recessive Alpha, but, while working as a waiter at a party, he meets Dojin, a dominant Alpha, enters his first heat cycle, and discovers that he's actually an Omega. Specifically, he's a recessive Omega, so he'll likely have difficulty finding medication that can suppress his heat cycle and it'll be harder for him to get pregnant. It ends rather anti-climactically, the pacing starts to unravel in general for this webtoon at this point, but Heesoo is kidnapped, and we find out Chowon can't let go of Dojun because of a desire to be loved and Heesoo having what Chowon never did in his marriage-- a deep contrast to how it worked out for them compared to how the first couple miraculously makes it work. But Chowon is caught again, and Dojun finally files charges against Chowon, but the only taking the agreement that Chowon seeks help with no further repercussions and leaves Chowon's life. The romance. It's so bad. The two male leads don't have much going for them outside of sexual chemistry. Uhhh why did Dojin (Alpha ML) fall in love with Hyesung (Omega MC)? I have no idea. Dojin is... physically attracted to Hyesung. Yeah, okay. Dojin... loves Hyesung's personality...? He loves his childishness....????? Man, I really cannot tell you why Dojin likes Hyesung.

Interest Stacks

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. I read the full Korean version of this and, oh boy, it’s been a long time since I have read a series so bad. If your partner is saying: "Wait!" you wait. If they say "Stop!" you stop. If they say "I don't want this!" STOP!!!!!!! Dojin was a bit better at the end, but he was controlling, manipulative, rude protagonist who took advantage of someone in heat and then basically used their bad position in life to hold them there. 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). 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? Yeah, Hyesung can be nice. But Dojin is characterized as an omega-hating bigot at the beginning of the series and I'm not really convinced why he'd fall for Hyesung as opposed to any other "nice" omega. It just makes no sense. 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. it's an omegaverse and we all know in this genre, the characters act pretty different and sometimes very far away from a human like behavior.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 Non-con and Dub-con are standard in this webtoon in general, no matter which couple you see, so I won't beat the dead horse more than I have to. In case you are wondering, this relationship happens between two people who could be potential ‘lovers’ but one person doesn’t feel the same way or perhaps he/she is being ‘restricted’ by some other forces and that is why they can never express how they feel about you. In this case, you are using your heart to think for you yet the other person is actually using the head for its God-given purpose and in the end, you feel like you are insane. It is worse if the other person leads you on and this time he/she takes you to cloud nine and the next day releases you to fall on a hard concrete surface.
