Sure if u want a guy who abandons u for 10 years and his reason is „Aua im lowkey deaf in my left ear haha“ Kay take the man buddy. Also Dohwa is not rlly the „nice“ guy u are making him to be. Sooae is the one who approached him she is the one that asked him about his feelings. If a man doesn’t lose feelings for u after 10 years that says more about u than about him. If u wanna call someone a bad character call Sooae out. She is the one that can’t seem to respect herself and others enough to let it go. She kissed a man to get information out of him and than went and kissed back a guy who clearly had feelings for her. If she doesn’t have feelings for him she can just reject him. There hasn’t been a third rejection idk where tf u read that maybe there is an alternative universe. But Dohwa got rejected only once. Grow up and stop letting looks win u over
So we’re still going with the “he left because of his ear” narrative? that’s interesting, considering the story has made it clear multiple times, including back in middle school, that it was about his family. Not embarrassment. Not “haha lowkey deaf.” His family. But I guess if you’re only reading for Dohwa, actually remembering plot points can get inconvenient.
Now about Dohwa. He got rejected in middle school. He got rejected again recently. And her reaction after that kiss? That was rejection too. Just because he refuses to process it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
I agree Sooae should be clearer but let’s not pretend he’s oblivious. He sees her vulnerability he sees she’s emotionally unstable in that moment and instead of stepping back, he chooses to push forward and secure a place for himself that’s not pure devotion, that’s opportunistic.
Sooae clearly struggles with guilt, feeling like she owes Dohwa some form of reciprocation simply because he keeps imposing his feelings on her. That’s not romance, that’s pressure.
And yes, Sooae also uses Dohwa at times to fill the void Eunhyuk left that’s exactly why I will never ship Sowha they’re both clinging to something that isn’t love it’s loneliness, guilt, and unresolved feelings, not mutual affection.
And please, she didn’t “kiss back a guy who clearly had feelings.” He kissed her. Let’s not rewrite the scene just to protect your favorite .
Also, there are plenty of stories where the male lead disappears for years and y’all love those arcs suddenly it’s only a problem here? Let’s be honest, you’re putting all the blame on that time skip because you want it to justify Dohwa being endgame.
Call it preference if you want, but don’t twist the narrative just to make it fit.
Nah i just don’t have energy to argue with someone who doesn’t mind arguing all day. 1. i have school 2. I have an internship 3. i have irl friends who i hang with 4. i could care absolutely less about u trying to rage bait me into starting opinion wars. If u like Eunhyuk good for u. I hope he ends up dying in the end. That’s my opinion I don’t like him. Keep liking him nobody is stoping u weirdo lol
the other person "lud" was very logically explaining the character sketches and because you didn't have anything meaningful to contribute in the discussion you started getting personal and announcing your life. who asked? if you have internships you better focus on it instead of dumping your misery in here. thanks for the laugh though hahahaha I'm sure Lud has a better life than you given they don't felt the need to overshare about it. LMAO

Dowha is clearly “the nice guy,” like Jeremiah and Taku in Love or Hate. These are ppl who seem sensitive and kind, but only when it serves their own interests. Soae is a trophy for him. He doesn't respect her refusal he imposes his advances on her even though she DOESN’T want him, he has been rejected 3 times but he continues to follow her, he completely projects his feelings he is like a child who cannot accept not getting what he wants.
