i get what youre saying~~ not trying to change ur mind but just to offer a diff pov.
about the jealousy, its memtioned in the story that eunyul also didnt feel the need to get jeslous nor feel that his bf must get jealous in order to feel happy. snd that was the case for their whole relationship. its just that he is the minority, hence his girl friend and woonwul felt otherwise. and also that one instance (the one showed in the story) of eunyul sctually being jealous was just a one off thing and i think actually rhats its pretty realistic for humans to feel storngly about a certain thing (not needing to feel jealous) but sitll having some anamolies (like what jappened in the story)
and the second point about the hitting it threw me off so bad too, i really hate it to be honest, but i feel like again, every couple is different. since theyre both ok with it and harbours no resentful feelings about it and both understand their limits snd boundaries, then its fine since every relationship is different anyway, and love is different for everyone. also i felt that it was weirdly realistic too, im not korean myself so i cant speak for typical korean culture but throughout all the many kdramas ive watched, long term couples always have this kind of “violence” snd even in my culture its pretty common. i felt that as long as both parties are cool with it and understand eo intentions then its ok. and also i like that the author drew the line on where their boundaries on violence were crossed, like how eunyool hates when wonwoon throws stuff when hes angry, and the author makes it clear that its a serious issue! thats all i had to sayy just my thoughts
I love how relatable this story is. So refreshing there's no CEO boyfriend to snap his fingers and make things easy, or a rich millionaire who can solves everything with money. Watching them struggle on their own and together was really heartbreaking because we have all had struggles and low points, and I'm so glad I had those experiences and I'm glad they learned to love those old and hard moments too.
My two issues: the need to have jealousy. To make someone "happy" that their lover was jealous. I hate it. Jealously always ate me alive and I never found it charming or cute, if it was me or someone else was going through it. Second, the hitting. Slapping the face. The kicking. The slapping of arms. I dunno, as someone who went through the violence from someone else, I'm surprised MC is so okay to do that to his partner? And it doesn't matter if they are both men, or if others don't consider this as "violence" I really didn't like it or how constant it was.
Otherwise great comic and story.
