Summary
How to Escape the Clutches of an Obsessive Top is a Korean BL manhwa that blends fantasy, romance, and psychological tension. The story follows Lee Yeonsoo, a man who wakes up to find himself inside a tragic BL novel — not as the protagonist, but as a side character destined for a miserable end. In the original plot, the obsessive top, Joo Seunghyuk, was meant to fall for someone else. But Yeonsoo’s presence — and efforts to avoid that fate — accidentally steer Seunghyuk’s obsession toward him instead. As Yeonsoo tries desperately to escape the twisted narrative and avoid Seunghyuk’s tightening grip, the lines between fiction and reality blur. With each step, Yeonsoo must ask himself: is it possible to rewrite a doomed love story, or is he simply playing into the hands of an inescapable fate?
