I'm just gonna say, no one is a saint in this story. And that is even from before Eunho st...

This comment perfectly captures what I feel about Eunho. Why is he being seen as a saint? He's super emotionally manipulative and is always pushing for an agenda to get his way with Jaeha. I love the writing of this comic!!!!

I'm glad I'm not alone and I agree wholeheartedly about everything you said.

Honestly if someone were to ask me who I find more pitiful between the two of them I'd personally say Jaeha in a heartbeat. He's not a saint either ofc but he's at least aware he's not the best. I find it kinda sad people hate him so much and praise Eunho to the skies.

Lover Boy just reached the wrong people :(

They all are throwing a fit and shitting on the writing because they don't get to make the characters as 1 dimensionally flat as possible. And this is most likely cuz being morally righteous is the only character archetype they'll accept. It's really ironic how such human qualities get so much hate.

The reason why Eunho doesn't get shit is because he's portrayed to be the desperate and pitiful 'I'll love you and chase you to the ends of eternity' type when all along he's actually never considered Jaeha's circumstances. What makes it worse is because even Eunho actually acknowledges this at the end of the comic and really feels shitty for not understanding Jaeha and yet, everyone is absolving Eunho of that fault acting as if he did nothing.

It's infuriating really

Yeah, I think so as well. I also think a lot of these people might be really young and lack the perspective and experience to understand what's really going on tbh. But I can't know for sure.
The truth is people all mess up and hurt each other and we all have trauma and pain. And if there is no understanding and forgiveness for those things, the world is going to be a very difficult place to live in. I think that's also the reason this comment section makes me so sad tbh.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean and it really sucks. I also feel like a lot of people don't understand that just because you love someone doesn't mean they have to love you back or that they're a demon if they don't or if they reject you because they don't think it's the right relationship for them. Loving someone also really doesn't mean you get a free pass for breaking boundaries over and over.
Eunho is deeply selfish to me.

nah bc how tf does this story not raise your blood pressure is what im most concerned w/ in this threadbc how tf this “therapeutic”?

The way you're coming at me for this it sounds like you've got your mind set already but in case you don't: It's therapeutic to me because real life is messy and it helps me work through my own trauma. Fictional conflict is a more gentle way of easing myself into thinking about things that otherwise are very infected and uncomfortable.

The chaos and internal conflicts of the characters are as relatable as characters can get because honestly life is really unfair and sometimes that unfairness scars you and affects you for the rest of your life. Maybe not for you but to see characters who learn to grow along with their scars, I personally also find it extremely therapeutic

I gotta fucking love how this clown proves my point completely. The only reason why Lover Boy gets shit is because it isn't your typical 1 dimensional porny writing with predictable and flat characters. Ladies and gentlemen, you have here proof served on a silver fucking platter.

this!!!

Thanks for this comment! I agree

Very true! I personally love Eunho but you are right. I just can’t help but love his stubbornness. He’s flawed to a point it’s lovable because it’s relatable to me
