Also i feel like people are a little bit TOO harsh on the story… And too entitled and rude! The author doesn’t owe you anything. Was the ending rushed? Yes, i won’t deny that. but even if the author can’t see what you people are saying, it’s still very ICKY!
I get what you’re saying and I largely agree too with hoping to have seen more of the timeskip after their second separation. But did ppl really hate on the uke that much? I thought that viewers were mostly just disappointed with the ending. Personally, I felt horrible for jiho after everything. Of course, like everyone else, I hated him in the beginning when he was using yoojoon as he did with everyone else and because of what he did to that lil kids ice cream cone . But by the end, I just felt so bad for his character and wanted to see him heal. He was a very unstable and traumatized kid who was systematically trapped and suffocated by the adults in his life. And to be so fucking for real, his transgressions (or at least the ones we as the readers saw) were pretty small to be hated on in comparison to the other people who made his life miserable. Yes, he made dumb decisions, he was self-destructive, he was manipulative, he was an asshole for purposefully bumping into that kid and ruining his ice cream and none of the things he did to hurt yoojoon can be excused. But his father, mother, eunjeongs older brother, the school nurse, that dartboard face bully, eunjeong herself, and everyone else who came AT him with an agenda/vendetta were imo far FAR worse than him and only continued to pushed him to the edge. I’m just glad the author didn’t show jiho completely and entirely healed after they reunite the second time, as that kind of trauma and pain doesn’t just go away, especially in the short timespan of four years.
definitely agree! and yes, people seemed to really hate him it was weird. Because like, yes. you’re allowed to. But he’s clearly severely mentally ill.
i do agree that the ending isn’t the best, but i still have hope considering there’s still side stories. So i hope it can focus on them more, and get into depth about the time skip.
I think enjoyed this story a fair amount. I don’t think people can handle such mentally ill characters, which i understand. Jiho was in a way so mentally draining to everyone around him, and he also has an insane need for attachment. He has emotional attachment issues, so i love how the seme gave him time to find himself, and find meaning to life without a partner. I think it was the right thing to do. Sure, we should’ve seen his journey, but i don’t think the time skip ruined the story like people are saying.
I don’t like the storyline with the older brother, but i do understand it i guess. Jiho, again, is just not.. okay and wasn’t okay at that time so he clinged to the only person he knew, which i can’t blame him. He’s young and a little foolish.
U understand wjy the viewers hate the uke .. i just think it was obvious from the beginning how he is, and people should’ve dropped it since then.
