Words can't express how disappointed I am about the spin off with Eunwoo and Wonho. I didn't like or support their relationship in the slightest (although it was still more interesting than the bland main couple) but reluctantly I gave it a try. What I saw was so much worse than I expected.
3 months have passed...and what do we see? Wonho acting as if his whole life wasn't destroyed. As if he was on some vacations.
I'd like to remain we are talking about the guy who:
1. Has been in love (and in relationship) with Minki for a DECADE... And now he is acting as if he didn't care anymore (or hasn't cared for some time now)... Like lol this is such a poor, convenient, unrealistic writting.
2. Sold his very soul, body (literally), put tears and sweat... everything into acting... And he lost it. His whole career just like that. Not only that he was portrayed to public as a cheap whor* who got his roles by spreading legs and nothing more. Who would remember Wonho for his great acting skills? Im majority's memories he will be the guy who got his roles by sponsors, some prostitute. The guy from scandal. So he not only lost his career, his whole reputation and image were also ruined.
3. Was sexually abused, exploited for years. Who was monopolised, stalked, persecuted and controlled by his last sponsor as some exotic pet.
4. Who lost everything (beloved Minki included) to his nemesis - Taeyoung. Younger guy who got everything he always desired thanks to connections and privilege.
5. Has alcohol problem as it was showed in the story many times.
And you want to tell me he just moved on like that? Yes people move on from tragedies but they have either some form of support: family, therapeutist, partner, friends or they have some clear purpose (be it faith, be it some goal). And Wonho doesn't have any of that. Realistically speaking he would either commit suicide by this point or drown his sorrows in alcohol, drugs,sex etc. Of course we can argue that Wonho is remorseful (for what he did to Minki) and he wants to atone, that's why he came to terms with the whole disaster.... But still the lack of clear purpose, his good condition in general (after losing his beloved relationship and everything he has worked for his whole life) and welcoming Eunwoo with nearly open arms (even out of loneliness and desperation)....leave much to be desired. I don't feel any emotions. Everything feels empty, false.
Not only Wonho looks as if nothing big, groundbreaking happened in his life recently. His house is tidy, he looks refreshed and relaxed. No... even better he invites in the guy who helped in his ruin. Not only that, next day he spreads his legs for him. And then acting all lovey dovey and cutesy. Literally having gag reflex.
And my "favourite". Eunwoo. The guy didn't change in the slightest. Maybe I would buy the story how he has loved Wonho.... If he would let him go (although I'd still be rather doubtful... If you think about how he hurt him both physically and mentally, how he brought Wonho down when he was already broken, crying his heart out etc). But he didn't do that. He has obsessively thought about him for a whole three months. Then he had to invite himself and torment him more. Oh he is such a nice guy! He doesn't expect love in return. But firstly he has kissed sleeping Wonho without any consent. Then in the morning he grabbed his hand forcibly as if he owned him and they had sex.... What changed in Eunwoo exactly? Should I congratulate that he didn't attack Wonho when he was changing... although he wanted to? Wow such a development. I'm proud.
I don't know what are author's intentions with the side story but at this point it's distasteful and poorly written. Even the art is not the best. I miss the art from the begging of the story.
