I SECOND THIS COMMENT. thanks for telling the truth and facts.
it's worth shitting on this though, the author clearly wanna milk this story dry and decided to add this angst bs. there was no need to drag the story this far like at this point the "slow and detailed drama" is becoming more and more repetitive just because they can't talk shit out and this stupid push n pull towards each other.
But drama and angst to be involved with rape is just another low. Good angst does not need sexual assault. I know they are hurting each other even though they like each other but the moment the consent wasn't given and sexual activity was forced, it became rape, unnecessary at that. So for me I have to say it destroyed the story.
( ´-｀)
I KNOW RIGHT ? I absolutely love angst in a story but well written angst doesnt need SA in it.
In cherry blossoms after winter too I was totally digging the new angst until the author made taesung force himself on haebom. Like when will manhwa authors learn to write angst without sa.
Either they are running out of ideas or they're following the "trend" of sickening rape addition...
God I truly hope they stop.
on top of that i truly hate people like op who defend sa in the name of angst.
I'm sorry??? Why are you making that up?
As I said in another comment, absolutely nothing under any circumstance warrants rape. What Juheon did is a wrongdoing, an awful choice that's taken consciously, not just "happens", but
that he will have apologize over and work to make up for it in the future, see how the story handles what he did and its impact in the relationship. But people can't handle complex characters who can step to the lowest, because the moralist police will come to cancel the story before we can see how things end up. Sorry the story didn't take the fluffy idealist route you were hoping for, but that doesn't mean the author has nothing planned on how to continue and handle what she herself put into it.
I don't think you understand that an apology doesn't mitigate rape.
and if you truly think an apology or smthng is gunna cut it then you do not understand how grave of an offence sa is.
And i see you keep repeating that people are expecting a fluffy romance out here.
Trust me, everyone who has signed up for this manhwa is not expecting a fluffy sunny days sort of romance. I think most of us enjoy this manhwa for the story and angst.
However is it too much on a reader's part to ask an author to not ruin their character by making them commit rape.
So when you keep saying that people who are mad are overreacting you do seem like someone who doesnt take sexual violence seriously.
But why resort to rape or SA when there are other ways to show angst and make him regret those things he's done?
u cooked them queen
Dark_horse, you took the words out of my mouth. I'm so sick of comments like the op that try to write off readers as weak or stupid for saying we don't appreciate rape as a plot point. It definitely ruins the character, and IRL there's no growing a relationship from that.
I KNOW RIGHT ??? They keep repeating that we are here for fluff like bro we have enough media literacy to understand that this is not a story of sunshine and rainbows but we just dont want rape cuz that immediately ruins a character and makes me not want to root for them.
I dont know how it is so hard for them to understand.
these two are obviously hitting rock bottom from the things that each of them have individually gone through. Why do you all expect them to remain all fluffy and green flag when both of them are not in a good place mentally?? they are hurting and bleeding on each other, so let them live through it and sort it out. If you want to read about some ideal world with no real drama, "Our Sunny Days" or "Spinach Salad" are both complete and a few searchs away. Stop shitting on a story that finally has some slow detailed drama and angst. Any intelligent being would have known that shit was going to hit the fan when Dohu didn't tell Juheon he was using him as inspo for his novel, so if you decided to make this your comfort story that's 100% a you problem.
