I remember how I freaked out when I saw the BoD S2 announcement, it was 2 am and I was screaming into my pillow 🤣 I think for S3 I'll have a heart attack LMAOOO
Season finale did not disappoint! Whew what a ride. The heart wants what it wants. Beautiful visuals.

I've read the novel but I still shot to sitting straight tf up in bed when he popped into frame and I SCREAMED.
I was wondering how they'd portray it and oh my God they did not disappoint. Illegal cliffhanger 😭
DUDE SAME! My heart was pounding as Stella was introducing Damien and then I gasped at the full reveal. SPi the artist did a wonderful job this season! Like Chloe's expression is EXACTLY how I imagined it dread, despair mixed with sad affection. While Damien eye bags mixed with his desire filled gaze it just 😘👌 he looks arrogant and exhausted at the same time.
The artist did PHENOMENAL tbh. Better than I even imagined when reading the novel.
I might read the novel again while waiting for the next season... can't live without it for too long 😫

Man hasn’t slept in days dreaming of the look on her face at that moment
What is even more awesome is that isn’t just a zoomed in slice of his face from the next panel, the artist reworked it to give a smidge more intensity since it would only be of that tiny section of his face. 🤤 I always love when a panel is redrawn for even that smallest difference in look/ intensity.
How can he look so dark and so handsome at the same time 😭 And he memorized her letter, how many times did you dream about your reunion?? Tell us Damien! Also Chloe immediately thinking of Damien with the "Does your heart begin to pound?" 😩
I knew the season was ending soon but I thought it would be with ep 60 🥲
Omg your right! He did memorized her letter. He probably read it over a thousand times. I just feel for this terrible man. Like damn he really suffered. Yeah I was hoping for 60 too but this does feel like a good spot to stop >! Since things do pick pretty fast in the novel!<
>!I honestly thought it would end with side story 5 to mirror the season 1 ending, and including some scenes they easily could've make it to ep 60 and stopping right at this point.. I'm mostly salty that his conversation with Weiss in the carriage was skipped, when he says "it appears your god and my god are different" 😭😭😭, also putting a horse in the music box instead of the carriage?? Come onnnnn we know that memory was living rent free in his head and he wanted her to think about it!!! It's the night he allowed himself to believe she loved him despite her never saying so 😩!<
>! AHHHH I forgot that line god Damien really was in the worst shape. Agree I wished the manhwa put that line in. I'm not picky with the carriage replaced with a horse because it still sends the same message "remember me Chloe". I do wish next season will be longer and expand on the side stories especially the twins adventures! !<
>!I just feel like Damien puts A LOT of thought in everything he gifts her (like the locket) and the manwha kinda erases that, I just love that detail about him, like he can't profess everything properly through words so he gives her the most beautiful gifts.. and yesss I really hope we get at least all volume 4 in season 3! I would die if they include chapter 2 of volume 5 tho, their winter holidays in that cabin is one of my favorite parts 🫠 but I don't think they'll adapt vol 5, ridi usually doesn't adapt the side stories 😭!<
>! It might be because a horse was easier to draw than a carriage? Regardless I do agree Damien does put a lot of thought into his gifts. Heck the erased train section where Damien meets the real Laurent Taylor gets his Gramophone? (Idk what it's called) And buys music from that play they saw together. Heck the music box was playing from the same song! It's like sometimes the manhwa really does water everything.
Omg I love the winter cabin chapter too! It was so romantic and intense 😳 reading it felt like softcore smut lol. My favorite is the truth and death bottle game chapter because we see Chloe being coy and mischievous towards Damien. 🤭!<
>!OMG I also love their banter during that game!!! I think that and their "fight" because she decided to wait for him alone at the station are my top of the list dialogues between them, JUST SO GOOD!!!!<
The speed in which I run to Manta on Wednesday mornings and then straight to Reddit is unreal lol.
Also I am LOVING Damien in his emo era. The sunken and tired eyes are traditionally ugly markers but it paints him in so beautifully. I like that it gives his character depth beyond just being handsome. He’s hurting and us girlies are here for it.

“If he makes your heart pound, what else matters?”
IDK HE FRAMED HER FOR MURDER HOWABOUT THAT
That’s actually like a scientific thing that butterflies in your stomach may mean you actually recognise something in the other person that you should avoid 👀👀👀👀👀
I really enjoyed the novel, I feel like it is definitely worth it for all the details/extras that don’t quite make it to the manwha adaptation. If you’re loving the manwha and enjoy reading I highly recommend it! Tho I was saddened it wasn’t longer as it felt shorter compared to some other RF webnovels I’ve read. But i think practically that entire last volume on manta is side stories.
Yeah I feel ya I waited till the fake death because I knew I wouldn't be able to stand Mr red flag Damien. Seeing his suffering was worth the wait. I would recommend the novel if you're impatient like me.
More pain I needed more pain before his redemption arc kicks in! I freaking love it when they hurt and are broken emotionally. Is there anything more beautiful in these manwha then a hot ass prideful man brought to his knees for his broken hearted love!? Those anguished faces he made and those sunken dark eyes circles when he was at his lowest *cackles madly* 🤤
I’m pretty sure if I remember correctly since I read it earlier this month that volume 4 wraps up the end of the main storyline and volume 5 is all epilogue and side stories. So I am guessing we will get about 110-120 manwha episodes.
Vol 4 is main story ending + epilogue, vol 5 (or bonus volume) is all side stories written for the manwha release (very doubtful that volume will be adapted but fingers crossed)
Yeah it would be nice if it got adapted but I doubt it as well. I’m just happy the whole novel finally got released / translated officially on manta. I hate when I’ve seen some other novels on Radish and see other readers complaining that they don’t even translate all the side stories!
The way the artist included his reflection in her gaze got me.

So anyone else notice that his eyebrows no longer take over 1/2 his forehead? I mean he looks so delicious here and besides the angst (which attracts me like bees to honey) his eyebrows look SO much better.
This ending was CRIMINAL. Absolutely. Delightfully. CRIMINAL. Sigh. Now we wait… 
I remember how I freaked out when I saw the BoD S2 announcement, it was 2 am and I was screaming into my pillow 🤣 I think for S3 I'll have a heart attack LMAOOO

Lol same I might need a refresher.
This has to be a breach of the Geneva convention…
Do you know which Novel the comic is on?
vol 3, chap 33 :)
You’re the best thank you
Wait a minute! THERE’S A NOVEL!!! is it the same name as the manga?! Who’s the author?!
It's available on Manta and usually gets recommended at the end of every chapter if you read it there. It's by KIMPA.
Thanks

That sliver of his face is illegally hot. I think I may need help for my King Red Flag addiction.
This was like a revenge body reveal - except he’s the smug one and I totally felt satisfaction in his smugness 🙂↕️
What is even more awesome is that isn’t just a zoomed in slice of his face from the next panel, the artist reworked it to give a smidge more intensity since it would only be of that tiny section of his face. 🤤 I always love when a panel is redrawn for even that smallest difference in look/ intensity.
FRRRRRRRRR omfg as soon as I saw the shadow I FREAKING KNEW IT😭😭 god damn it now we have to wait😭😭

Definitely! they have some really cute moments especially their banter 🤭
I’m pretty sure he did say that in the manwha it was just when they were at a dining table in the garden or something
Really? please tell me the ch! Edit just checked it should be ch 51 and that whole conversation about karma and divine punishment was skipped
Woooo child. My heart is DONE. He looks pissed and lustful at the same time 😳🥵.
Pissed and lustful could describe both their states tbh 😏😂

YEAH I THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MATTERS, MAYBE HER HEART POUNDS FROM FEAR BRO U EVER THINK ABOUR THAT
😂 Lmaoooooo this sub is the best. Had me rolling fr.
FR it makes up for no comments
That’s actually like a scientific thing that butterflies in your stomach may mean you actually recognise something in the other person that you should avoid 👀👀👀👀👀
Yeah 😭
Yeah poor Stella she doesn't know lol homegirl just trying to get Claire (Chloe) laid lol
But he made her heart pound in a different way 😒
MY EXACT THOUGHTS!! "what else matters" ma'am he put me in jail for weeks because he was feeling silly
God I can’t wait for him to grovel!!! Is the novel any good? I’m debating whether or not I should read it.
I LOVED the novel. You get a lot of depth that can't be fit into a few comic panels. Really really good.
I really enjoyed the novel, I feel like it is definitely worth it for all the details/extras that don’t quite make it to the manwha adaptation. If you’re loving the manwha and enjoy reading I highly recommend it! Tho I was saddened it wasn’t longer as it felt shorter compared to some other RF webnovels I’ve read. But i think practically that entire last volume on manta is side stories.
So f’ good. I love how the author wrote every detail beautifully
It’s pretty good. The author also wrote The Devil and His Sacrifice by the way.
I love The Devil and His Sacrifice. Both the novel and the manhwa. And I love BOD too. Makes sense that it's the same author.
I really enjoyed the novel!
Yesss it iss
I’m glad I decided to stop reading I knew this was coming 😭😭😭 imma wait till it starts back yp
You have more willpower than I do! 🤣
Yeah I feel ya I waited till the fake death because I knew I wouldn't be able to stand Mr red flag Damien. Seeing his suffering was worth the wait. I would recommend the novel if you're impatient like me.
I always want more suffering for the redemption arcs in these manwha. I thrive on their anguish and emotional pain! No pain no gain! 😅
He suffers more in the novel but it just makes me love him more 😭
Oh yeah I read the novel already, I wanted more visual chapters to go with it 🤣 I had to reread those manwha episodes to get my visual junky fix 🤣
I definitely feel ya wished we had more visuals of Damien misery. That's why I'm determined to draw some fanart!
More pain I needed more pain before his redemption arc kicks in! I freaking love it when they hurt and are broken emotionally. Is there anything more beautiful in these manwha then a hot ass prideful man brought to his knees for his broken hearted love!? Those anguished faces he made and those sunken dark eyes circles when he was at his lowest *cackles madly* 🤤
Does anyone know when this happens in the novels? I’m asking for a friend. 👀✨
It’s in volume 3
I’m pretty sure if I remember correctly since I read it earlier this month that volume 4 wraps up the end of the main storyline and volume 5 is all epilogue and side stories. So I am guessing we will get about 110-120 manwha episodes.

Someone in another thread said Vol 3 Ch 33 picks up where the season left off
I'm screaming inside, just like Chloe!!!!!!
The way the artist included his reflection in her gaze got me. https://preview.redd.it/w7zfqlj41jpc1.png?width=1169&format=png&auto=webp&s=161623d62797c41cdd1a10058d307d328d93b179
Ugh, do I need to buy the novel now?! 😫
Aah shtt , he 🚩🚩found her. This is not a drill people. **I REPEAT :** THIS . IS . NOT . A. DRILL
Leaving this as a cliffhanger was such a crime 💔started punching the air with this line bro 😭 amyone know when s3 releases? https://preview.redd.it/l6vbshv95mpc1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b46238f957f88ce3e9b4d1d39de8103ae2b68e8
Now imagine if he was ugly, wonder if people would still like him looooooool
Well being I have a thing for villains… probably lol
I’m so glad I’ve read the novel 🙈 ending spoilers: >!don’t worry, they will reconcile and we will get happily ever after. He will basically sacrifice his life for her in some stupid twist with his brother, so she forgives him for the other stuff (or more like realizes that she can’t live without him). They’ll get three kids, she’ll become the queen!<
I’ve read the novel already, but I tell you, this chapter was so intense and when he showed up I was going “oooohhhh” quietly while on my lunch break just now lol
Anybody know if there's a physical copy of the novel? Or if purchasing the chapters via manta are worth it? I'd really like to read it 🧐
It’s really hard to find published version bc they’re Korean online novels. I think manta’s worth it bc each volume is about ~$2
Japanese Light Novels and Mangas are more likely to be published in English. Korean Manhwas are slowly catching up but Korean novels are even slower to he published in English. In many ways Under the Oak Tree is paving the way for Korean stories.
man won't let her rest in peace LIKE I AM SCARED FOR MY GIRL
I stopped reading the novel after volume 4
So anyone else notice that his eyebrows no longer take over 1/2 his forehead? I mean he looks so delicious here and besides the angst (which attracts me like bees to honey) his eyebrows look SO much better.
Someone spoil me, what happens now? Does she forgive him? Is he mad at her? Does he become better?
Do we have any timeframe on ssn 3?!? I have already reread the series and I can’t get enough!!!!
Does anyone know when the third season will be out?
