* BastardBoyfriend: Zig-zagged with Dai. He starts as this, but is actually JerkWithAHeartOfGold, until he gets jealous and turns into CompleteMonster and gets dumped, so he takes it UpToEleven, disappears and returns as JerkWithAHeartOfGold. At this point we are in the volume three and only 11 more to go. The zig-zagging tends to get more extreme as time goes on. Mostly because Dai seems to think that his love for Jaehee is inherently linked to beating him within an inch of his life.

Let Dai is a BoysLove [[{{Shojo}} Sunjeong]] {{Manhwa}} by Woon Soo-yeon.
Set in a [[Literature/AClockworkOrange Clockwork Orange]]-esque Neo Seoul, Jaehee Yoo was just an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who would buy flowers for his girlfriend on Valentine's Day. That is, until he sees a group of {{Delinquents}} assaulting a young woman. He decides to step in and play [[WrongGenreSavvy hero]]. Too bad for him this event will bring him face to face with [[EvilIsSexy Dai Lee]], the [[{{Gayngster}} infamous leader of the Furies gang]] and [[LoveMakesYouCrazy change the course of his life forever.]]
You know where this is going already, don't you? Another BL series that uses the generic gang violence, shafts every female character in sight and has the boys screw like bunnies. Right? Wrong! Let Dai takes [[DysfunctionJunction slews of characters]], grinds them in a blender of teenage angst and social rigidities, boils them in a climate of violence and emotional trauma and then serves it as a tragic story of love and freedom.
----
!!This series contains examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Dai's father, but only when it comes to Dai, and to a more emotional extent, his own mother. In a similar way, Eunhyung's father hits and abuses her when she doesn't do what her parents want her to do, but only her and not Yooneun, while her mother stands by supporting the physical abuse with an emotional counterpart.
* AchillesHeel: Dai is this to his father so much so that he gets [[spoiler: PutOnABus]] twice.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Subverted. All love is unrequited expect the main couple's.
* AnyoneCanDie
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Dai is mean, violent and frequently disregards Jaehee's human rights, but when he decides to show affection it's really clear how much he loves him, and Jaehee, no matter how pissed off he is at what Dai has just done, will always capitulate - usually after a brief if futile struggle to maintain his freedom.
* BadassBiker: Dai
* BastardBoyfriend: Zig-zagged with Dai. He starts as this, but is actually JerkWithAHeartOfGold, until he gets jealous and turns into CompleteMonster and gets dumped, so he takes it UpToEleven, disappears and returns as JerkWithAHeartOfGold. At this point we are in the volume three and only 11 more to go. The zig-zagging tends to get more extreme as time goes on. Mostly because Dai seems to think that his love for Jaehee is inherently linked to beating him within an inch of his life.
* ChainedToARailway: Dai does this to Jaehee after Goohee's gang tries to use him as bait.
* CrackPairing: in-universe ''everyone'' perceives Dai and Jaehee's relationship like this. No one can see why Jaehee - an honour student - is around someone as violent and dismissive of societal norms as Dai, and more than one person is completely shocked at finding out. In the beginning the Furies - before they're disbanded - can't figure out why Dai hangs out so much with a pacifist like Jaehee.
* BigFancyHouse: Dai has one that he goes out his way to avoid being at.
* BelligerentSexualTension: between Dai and Jaehee, to the point where when Jaehee is getting beaten up for the first time, Dai stops to kiss him on the mouth before ''branding him''. Belligerent indeed.
* BittersweetEnding
* {{Bishonen}}: Jaehee is explicitly stated in-series to be very literally a "pretty boy," and the artwork makes that abundantly clear. It's one of the reasons that so many girls tend to go after him.
* BlameTheVictim: Tragic in the case of Eunhyeung's gang rape.
* BreakTheCutie
** [[spoiler: KillTheCutie]]
* BreatherEpisode: Pretty much whenever Dai and Jaehee are together, although the breather only applies to them.
* BoysLove: The DarkerandEdgier Edition
** DepravedHomosexual: Dai.
** DidTheyOrDidntThey: Jaehee and Dai have quite a lot of these moments.
** SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan
** StraightGay: Basically, their love for each other is the only thing that makes them gay.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Volume 15, page 85:
--> '''Naru Hagi:''' Let me introduce myself. My name is Naru Hagi. I'm the most popular supporting actor in "Let Dai," and according to myself, as well as a few other people, the biggest heartthrob in the series. I'm the [=McDreamy=] to end all [=McDreamys=], entering as a blonde when the author has time, and as a black haired guy when she's too busy. Should I call myself the male "Candy Candy"?
--> '''Goohee Jang:''' Whaddya you, sick in the head?! I don't get anythin' you're sayin', you crazy ass!
* CaughtInTheRain
* ComingOfAgeStory
* CrazyJealousGuy: Dai. Ladies, Jaehee is off-limits. Seriously.
* DaddyDidntShow: Dai's father [[spoiler: to his mother's deathbed.]]
* DarkSkinnedBlond
* DespairEventHorizon: Eunhyung
* DisproportionateRetribution
** [[spoiler: Crangela... remind me why she had to be brutally assaulted by a pack of teenage thugs again?]]
** [[spoiler: Doubly Subverted with Eunhyung. She ventures into a backroom looking for Jaehee and is almost raped by the Furies. Then Dai walks in and [[WhatWereYouThinking seems upset by their actions]]. However, when he learns that Eunhyung is Jaehee's girlfriend he tells them "Do whatever you want."]]
* DissonantSerenity: Dai can come off as this, especially to other characters.
* DoubleStandard: Dai can't stand people who act in a hypocritical fashion with double standards, and a lot of his hate for his father comes from the sheer hypocrisy of his actions and the wide spread double standard he applies to his life. One of Dai's core reasons for his rebellion is how he perceives the DoubleStandard perpetuated by societal norms, and he detests anyone who applies such deception or illusion. On the flip side of this trope, Yooneun herself also slowly starts to enact multiple double standards that become increasingly more obvious as time goes on - her greatest hypocrisies being 1) in blaming other people for situations she herself had a hand in, demanding they take responsibility for their actions while not doing so herself, and 2) not doing anything to help Eunyung ''at all'' while telling ''Jaehee'' that he should do so, despite being her older sister and the only adult who knows about her [[spoiler: rape]].
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: PlayedForLaughs with Naru, though to be fair he was [[DudeLooksLikeALady wearing a wig.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Dai is generally very disdainful of anyone who abuses, rapes or subjugates anyone else's freedom, and he'll stand up for his beliefs on this. However, when it comes to Jaehee, [[GreenEyedMonster it becomes a whole different story]].
* EverybodySmokes
* EveryoneIsGay: Averted. Jaehee and Dai are the only homosexual couple.
* EvilIsSexy: Jaehee believes that Dai is evil . . . but he's still attracted to him.
* EvilMatriarch or Patriarch; Dai's father.
-->'''Dai's father''': Just because you're my kid doesn't mean that I have to treat you like one!
* TheFashionista: Naru, [[CostumePorn though all the characters do this pretty well.]]
* {{Gayngst}}: Justified. Homophobia is everywhere.
* {{Gayngster}}: Dai. For the first few volume's he's a violent, borderline-psychopathic gang leader - who kisses his victim Jaehee halfway through giving him a beating.
* GoodParents: Naru has this, though it may be because his parents are HappilyMarried. [[spoiler: Subverted.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: dear god, Dai! If you want to keep your sanity intact do ''not'' go anywhere near Jaehee with a twelve-foot pole. Bad things ''will'' happen to you. He's horribly possessive at the best of times, and he even reacted badly to Jaehee introducing Naru as his best friend.
* HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster
** [[CompletelyMissingThePoint "I'd rather you be a street thug, damn it!"]] Dai's father upon seeing Dai and Jaehee together.
* IdiotBall: for a college student who prides herself on being more mature than the highschool kids around her, Yooneun can be ''incredibly'' stupid sometimes. And all of it falls into the PoorCommunicationKills part, unfortunately for everyone else.
* ImportantHaircut
** Eunhyung gets one [[spoiler: after she is gang raped.]]
* InnerMonologue
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: In the first few volumes, Dai and and Jaehee spend as much time hurting each other as they do treating each other romantically. Dai seems to be under the illusion that severely beating Jaehee, tying him to train tracks and then stealing his wallet means he loves him. Jaehee doesn't exactly agree.
* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerks With Hearts Of Gold]]: Eunhyung's friends insult each other, beat up other girls and badmouth each other continuously, but when Eunhyung needs it, they are always there for her, and even though they don't know the details of her [[spoiler: rape]] - they only know that something horribly painful happened to her in the past - they are far more supportive and helpful than her own family (something Eunhyung remarks on in narration). Noting that her family includes Yooneun who knows ''exactly'' what happened to her, lives in the same house, and is actually in a greater position to help her.
* LoveHurts: The whole series plays with this. Dai takes it to sometimes very literal extremes.
* LoveMartyr: A bunch of characters, but Jaehee stands out the most since he's dating a sociopath who constantly hurts him and people he cares about.
* MasochismTango: Dai and Jaehee's relationship plays out like this, sometimes to abusive extremes. Most of it revolves around Dai's possessiveness and wanting to completely monopolise Jaehee.
* MeaningfulName
** ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
** The {{Foil}} for Dai calls himself Dai Oxin
* MommasBoy: Jaehee to his mother. [[spoiler: It's inverted.]]
** Also, [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Dai to his grandmother]].
* MoodWhiplash
* MyGreatestFailure: Jaehee is unable to save the girl from Dai and his crew.
* NearDeathExperience: Doubly Subverted for [[spoiler: Eunhyung. She jumps off a building, intending to kill herself, but [[ItGotBetter survives the fall]]. It looks like she may go home, but decides to [[ItGotWorse jump off an even higher building]]. This time is works.]]
** Also during the [[BeachEpisode Beach Episodes]].
* NietzscheWannabe: Dai.
* OpenMindedParent: Completely averted with Dai, doubly subverted with [[spoiler: Jaehee and Eunhyung]].
** Open Minded Teacher: Crangela accepts Dai and Jaehee's love, regardless of her religion, [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation or perhaps because of it]].
* OurLoveIsDifferent
-->'''Eunhyung''': You and Jaehee... what the hell kind of relationship do you guys have?!
-->'''Dai''': A relationship you're not allowed to even ask about.
* ParentalAbandonment: Inverted. Most of the main cast, for various reasons, try to escape their parents. Dai goes so far as to sleep in the school gym to avoid seeing his.
** Played straight with Jaehee [[spoiler: and Naru]] whose fathers die.
* PluckyComicRelief: Naru. But wait...
** A WrongGenreSavvy moment comes when Naru hangs a [[LoveConfession banner proclaiming his love]] for Eunhyung on the top of her school for everyone to see. It might have been [[MoodDissonance funny]], only that [[spoiler: she had killed herself a day or two before that making this PlayedforLaughs moment PlayedForDrama and this AbortedDeclarationOfLove painfully inverted.]]
** Naru's family actually fits nicely into this trope. [[spoiler: Before the father dies anyway.]]
* PoorCommunicationKills: Yooneun could have avoided a ''huge'' amount of {{Angst}} in this series by explaining things to the people around her instead of just letting them believe their incorrect assumptions, doing nothing to correct them. Eunhyung's [[spoiler: rape]] ''especially'' could have been completely avoided by telling her the situation with Jaehee instead of acting secretive for no valid reason. This kind of stupidity coupled with the fact that she's constantly in {{angst}}-mode and trying to play the martyr instead of actually helping out anyone when she is in the position to do so - particularly Eunhyung when the first thing she should have done [[spoiler: after she was raped]] is [[IdiotBall told her parents and got her counselling]] - makes her probably the least sympathetic character in the entire series. And this is a series which includes a borderline sociopath. It doesn't make it any better that she rarely if ever takes responsibility for her part in events.
* RapeAsDrama
* ScarsAreForever
* SceneryPorn: Not the most obvious example but it deserves a mention.
* ShootYourMate: Or in this case, stab him.
* ShowerOfAngst
* TheSociopath: Dai doesn't understand empathy or why Jaehee cares about anyone other than Dai and himself.
* TookALevelInBadass: Eunhyung becomes a lot tougher and less naive after she's [[spoiler: raped]], to the point where she'll stand up to and fight a gang leader.
* TriangRelations
** Yooneun, Jaehee and Dai are involved in a Type 4 with Yooneun in the A position.
** Naru, Goohee and Eunhyung form a Type 3 with Eunhyung in the A position.
** Another Type 3 is played out with [[SiblingRivalry Eunhyung]] [[SiblingTriangle and Yooneun]] with Jaehee in the A position early in the story.
** Jaehee, Eunhyung and Dai are in Type 7 also early in the story with Jaehee in the A postion. TheUnfairSex is averted, because this is in the BoysLove and girls are cockblocks.
* TheUnfavorite: [[BlackSheep Dai]]
* TheUnreveal: Dai does this at least once. The first is a PaperThinDisguise, the next may or may not be MindScrew or a BigLippedAlligatorMoment or none of these.
* {{Yandere}}: Eunhyung's friend, Sehee
** "If you're gonna get jealous, do it like you mean it, bitch!"
*** Actually Sehee's relationship borders on LesYay with Eunhyung. She [[AxeCrazy violently beats up a girl]] who has been [[BerserkButton spreading rumors]] about Eunhyung [[spoiler: that girl also happens to be their friend]]. She curses like a sailor and is Dai Lee's StalkerWithACrush. All the while wearing frilly outfits and [[HairDecorations hair decs.]]
