I know and I can say the same for all those shojo manhwas as well. I’m not praising the romance in this story like it’s really great, I’m only trying to understand as to why their relationship could be possible in the current life.
And bro, it’s fiction who cares. If all you see is pedophilic shit in all of the stories on this site and try to be a moral police then I’m afraid you are quite new to fandom culture. Don’t like? Don’t read.
Brother, "It's fiction." yea I don't really care, but I don't just see pedophilic bullshit, I see someone defending pedophilic bullshit. It's not understanding, it's "I don't like it, but it's ok cuz they're cute." Plus, "there's more like this, so it's fine!!" is like THE most horrible thing to say in this case. Pedophilia is horrible PERIOD, but I didn't come in this comment section to see someone "try to understand" is so weird! I'd rather the author make him focus on his career than whatever possibility he has of romance at that age left.
Bro what do you want me to say? “Oh you’re so right we should hate on this! This is the worst crime of pedophilia in the planet! He likes a little girl!”
I mean I also hate that heck that’s the reason I’ve never watched Mushoku Tensei in the first place. And the romance was not the primary focus of the story anyways. If I’m gonna deduct points for this story then that aspect will be the confirming factor.
And I said “try to understand” why the romance COULD HAPPEN in the CURRENT LIFE given a setting where he isn’t a 50 year old man.
Like I said, it is not ideal and in no way a good portrayal of romance, but there’s a whole different debate regarding a story where one lives more than one life.
Honestly, I would hate on the romance more if he i dunno SLEEPS with her when they were teenagers. It’s hard to explain such notions to someone who doesn’t understand the concept of living through life once more. And as such, you can hate on this as much as you want I am not forcing you to understand. I am just expressing my thoughts on the matter and so are you. We have totally opposite understanding of what “fiction” entails and that’s fine.
BUT who the hell are you to accuse me of defending pedophilia? You are a very forceful person and want everyone to gravitate towards your claims.
HIS CURRENT LIFE?! HAH! I get it now about trying to understand, but he's still mentally 50 d*mbass, trying to understand is already wild if we're looking at his pov (WHO'S POV WERE READING) even so. I agree they would be good together if he weren't 50!
Honestly, I get it, I wrote my previous comment in absolute pure frustration, but there are so many things wrong with what you just replied with... Living through life once more still has the word "ONCE" more. If he were still a teen or hearsay a young adult (18-24) It would have still not been good, but it would've been a lot better than dating a fucking minor who he treated as a sister back when he first met her.
You're right, I am a forceful person, but I didn't want you to gravitate to my claims, I wanted you to see what I meant by my comments, but then YOU decided to reply to my first comment when you could've EASILY ignored me, and guess what?? I wouldn't have pushed you to "gravitate" to my claims if you didn't decide to keep comment an argument that kept on getting more and more sensitive by the second. Plus, who says they didn't do the deed? If they want kids, they need to do it anyway...
"Remember it's just an opinion (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ"
I mean I replied because I am open to understanding the perspective of other people. Bro, I just really enjoyed reading this story and wanted to express my joy and in no way did I wanted to make an enemy out of it or start an “argument” per say.
Do remind me, but I don’t particularly remember them dating as minors as far as I recall, only when they were finally in their 20s. And yes I did find it weird knowing he thought of her as a sister but then I guess that interest turned romantic.
And by second life, it’s more so ‘if you were to turn back time and meet someone who you will grow up with and eventually fall in love with’ then it wouldn’t be so bad? Like if given you have a husband in this life then turn back time as a kid and meet them as a kid as well and grow up to get married again, would that be pedophilic? Perhaps? There’s a grey area in that question.
It’s also just an opinion btw I just like discussing topics but as much as possible without resorting to insults. Do you feel superior calling someone a dumbass? Or are you brave due to the anonymity of comment sections? Of course if the other person insults me first then I’m also gonna insult them back given I wasn’t trying to start a fight.
Anyways I hope you won’t feel too frustrated when you reply to other people next time because it can come off as being overbearing. Honestly, I was just really happy reading this story and I don’t wanna ruin it with a bad memory of ‘arguing’ with someone in the comments. I won’t reply again cause you seem so hung up in your preconceived notions in certain topics but I fail to see how it’s my fault this escalated by trying to talk civilly with you. Good day.

I agree in the sense that the ending was a bit rushed and how they rapidly developed the state of the relationship between Youngkuk and Yeonsu, but before I read this and seeing all the negative comments regarding that, I honestly expected so much worse.
Guys, I’m telling you that this is one of the best romance you can get from a regression manhwa such as this one. Of course I’m not saying it’s “really great” but at least try opening your minds and hearts on as to why YK developed feelings for YS.
I really thought from the way the comments were getting that they had no deep connection or whatsoever, but looking back there were quite a lot of plot holes imo about certain events after & during filming as well as their school life. A lot of behind the scenes were not stated in the story so it’s safe to assume YK and YS interacted a lot in those missing cuts.
I didn’t adore the couple from Medical Return as much as I adored these two.
I started reading this with moderate expectations, but I did not expect to absolutely love what story it’s trying to portray. I am especially fond of the earlier arcs when YK was a young boy.
Please give it a try! My advice on doubting to read these types is to just fuck it and start reading the first 5 chapters. You like it? Great! It wasn’t that amazing? That’s okay not everyone will deem it so. But if you do try to like it, just enjoy the journey!( ^_^)/~~~
