I feel something the author did really well is selling us the idea of Ian falling in love with Eunsan, and viceversa. I feel like sometimes the stories of "actor/celebrity/artist falls in love with the normal worker" have very flimsy or contrived explanations for their romance, or very unbalanced dynamics, but in this case none of them have any upper hand: Ian, despite being world famous, is innocent and energetic, while Eunsan is more mature but not to the point of being manipulative, and he turns into the rizzmaster whenever he proposes to, so they balance it out. I guess I just really like how they see eye to eye like equals, it makes their love seem very genuine and beautiful.
Great take. That’s truly what makes their dynamic so good is the balance and depth of each of their personalities. We really get the sense that Eunsan is a safe haven for Ian and vice versa
