〖REVIEW〗POTN 2.45

Before I get to the first chapter of season 2, here’s a quick recap of season 1. Spoilers up ahead :)

Yoon Seungho is a rich nobleman in the ye olde Korean days whose only concern in life is the care and feeding of his trouser snake. His latest obsession is the erotic artwork done by a mysterious man who has suddenly stopped painting. Like all rich brats, Seungho refuses to accept the fact that the world doesn’t revolve around him & tracks down the painter, a low-born man named Baek Nakyum who now spends his days as a drunk. Seungho forces and coerces Nakyum to come live in his household and paint for him exclusively.

As another measure to ensure that the skittish Nakyum paints for him, Seungho also recruits Nakyum’s teacher and crush Sir Jung Inhun into his household. Sir Inhun is an ambitious scholar who teaches reading and writing to the local children and writes badly plagiarized poetry in his free time (according to Seungho, idk cuz I don’t know about historical Korean poets lol). It was Sir Inhun who harshly reprimanded Nakyum when he found out about the paintings and made him vow to stop.

As Nakyum spends most of his evenings in Seungho’s bedchambers watching the lord’s bed sports with his various hoes and attempting to paint those acts, Nakyum and Seungho start eye fucking. Eventually the two do the horizontal tango, with Nakyum reluctantly getting dragged along for the ride (as most innocent yaoi character types are wont to do). Which raises a couple of eyebrows from the people around them, including Seungho’s main fuck buddy, the pretty wavy haired Lord Jiwha and Sir Inhun who encourages Nakyum to pursue the relationship in hopes Nakyum could reveal any dirt on Seungho.

Season 1 ends with Nakyum finally embracing a sexual relationship with Seungho after Sir Snake in Sheep’s Clothing tells him that mayhaps his lot in life was to be a prostitute. Sir Inhun goes off to take his exams to become a govt offical with the support of Seungho. And Jiwha hires a rough looking dude for Nakyum-you-in-danger-girl reasons.

Summary

Chapter 45 begins with a street peddler relaying the latest gossip about Seungho while playing a shell game with two guys. Apparently the lord has been so been so preoccupied playing find the sausage 24/7 with a new bed partner that he hasn’t been up to his usual debauchery lately. The peddler concludes that the lord has taken a fiancee. A close friend had visited the household recently and actually saw the butt naked lord leaving his chambers during the day with the woman in his arms. She was wrapped in his blanket but it was for sure a woman cuz she had smooth legs lol. 

The peddler’s customers counter that Seungho hasn’t been in bed 24/7 cuz they saw him out and about, being followed around by a servant boy. *insert shot of Nakyum’s pretty face in his cute little winter muffler uwu* Meanwhile Seungho’s servant, watches them from the sidelines like

The men continue to debate about the existence of Seungho’s fiancee, also mentioning that Seungho has completely abandoned Lord Jiwha (bye pretty Felicia!). One of them concludes that the mysterious woman must have reformed the lord with the power of her pussy magic.

Cut to Nakyum slurping on Seungho’s slong (peak comedy). Seungho teases Nakyum about his change of heart regarding sex and his bad bj skillz. When pressed, Nakyum replies that sex is nice and he likes it. Nakyum’s mid-coitus phrasing makes it sound like he’s saying he likes Seungho (”I like- my lord...I like it...”) and Seungho immediately splurts his soldiers into Nakyum’s honey pot.

Seungho’s servant arrives home & instructs another servant to put the painting supplies he just purchased in Nakyum’s room. This random hoity toity servant throws a little conniption over why they have to do things for the painter and Seungho’s servant replies that Nakyum is favored by their master (dude were you in a coma during all of season 1?).

My Thoughts

I wonder how much the world outside Seungho’s household will encroach on our main couple’s relationship this season. It really wasn’t much of a concern last season. Most we got was gossip about Seungho’s wild, lewd ways. And that one droopy-eyed fuck buddy who egged Jihwa on to make a fool of himself. Oh and Seungho’s younger brother who made a brief appearance and tried to get Seungho to come back into the family fold and do what other good lords do. I’m guessing that since season 2 began with rumors outside of the house, we’re gonna see more outside eyes and ears and wagging tongues this season. Ughhh not looking forward to that. Though it’s realistic and expected, I really hate people who can’t mind their own business.

Nakyum my poor baby. I don’t think he’s suddenly fallen in love with Seungho. He’s still hung up on Sir Oily Weasel. This is the second time he’s fallen apart because of that greasy four eyes. When Sir Inhun reprimanded him over the paintings, he turned to alcohol. Now that Sir Inhun has basically told him he’s nothing more than a prostitute, he’s turned to using his body TT___TT Poor baby is quite fragile. I don’t think (and I hope) he’ll fall in love with Seungho for a while.

Seungho on the other hand, I do think he’s starting to fall for Nakyum. There were rumblings of this in season 1. Seungho’s obsession over Nakyum’s paintings slowly transferred to Nakyum himself. It’s funny how Seungho told Nakyum he’d never sleep with peasants and here he is going above and beyond to take care of his little painter. And I don’t think it’s a mistake that the artist immediately shows Seungho’s face/facial reaction whenever Nakyum utters the word “like” during sex, especially his reactions when they had sex for the first time and in this chapter. If he’d let go of his ego a bit more, he’d probably be able to admit that he cares of Nakyum.

However, we should be cautious talking about love when it comes to Seungho. There are hints of something in his past that makes him emotionally constipated plus he’s a dick irregardless of tragic past lol. So I don’t think we’re gonna get lovey-dovey boyfriend to introduce to your parents gooey-ness from Seungho. At most, I think we can expect him to care and provide for Nakyum (I will fight all 6 feet 2 inches of Seungho if Nakyum gets hurt even more on his watch).

This was a great albeit short start to season 2. Looking forward to the next chapter.

PS: This is random but I love when they call Nakyum "little one” or that “funny fella” lol.
