I feel like everyone is overreacting with the hate on this. As an avoidant attachment girlie, I totally understand why Seowon acted the way he did, and I think his character feels like a real person. It wasn’t exactly right how he treated Mugyeon, but I understand him. I get it because I’ve thought like that too. I don’t exactly believe in an “eternal love that never fades” just like him. I feel like no matter how much you love someone, feelings do fade or at least get duller. So he believes it’s only a matter of time before Mugyeon’s feelings start to fade and he gets tired of him. But Seowon DOES love him. Even if he didn’t want to admit it to himself or show Mugyeon much affection, he does love him. Seowon feels like he isn’t a good enough partner for Mugyeon and that he’s undeserving of his love. So instead of allowing himself to fully enjoy the relationship, he keeps himself emotionally distant because he thinks that if he never gets too attached, the inevitable ending won’t hurt as much. Which is such an avoidant way of protecting himself. It’s almost like he’s trying to protect himself from the heartbreak he believes is eventually coming. But the sad part is that by trying to prepare himself for Mugyeon leaving, he ends up creating the distance he’s afraid will eventually make Mugyeon leave in the first place.

And everyone hates the fact that it took a breakup and Mugyeon pulling away to finally get through to him, but I actually think it fits Seowon’s character. The breakup didn’t suddenly make him realize that he loved Mugyeon because he already did. What changed was that Mugyeon finally stopped chasing him and gave him the distance he had been creating all along. For the first time, Seowon had to actually FEEL what life would be like without him and face the possibility of losing him for real. I think that was what finally forced him to realize that he didn’t actually want the relationship to end, even though he had always been preparing himself for it. Mutton pulling away made Seowon confront his feelings. He had spent so much time preparing himself for the day Mugyeon would stop loving him that he never stopped to consider what he would do if Mugyeon actually left. So now he had to choose to actually hold onto Mugyeon himself instead of just waiting for Mugyeon to eventually stop choosing him. That’s what makes his development feel real to me. He figures out that love isn’t just something he has to wait to lose. It’s something he has to actively choose and hold onto.
So while I understand why people are frustrated that it took a breakup for Seowon to finally open up, I think it makes sense for his character because he needed to experience the possibility of losing Mugyeon before he could stop protecting himself from love and actually allow himself to have it. And the fact that Mugyeon still loved him despite all of that is just the cherry on top, because it directly challenges Seowon’s belief that love inevitably fades. He spent so much of the relationship assuming Mugyeon would eventually stop choosing him, only for Mugyeon to prove that he was still there when Seowon finally learned to choose him back.

This is giving Backlight if it was written as a shitty omegaverse. Them liking each other in high school, one is rich and the other is poor, incident happens that changes everything, family interfering so they can’t get in touch, mc having a hard life in the future, ml growing up to be jaded. Obviously there some things are pretty different like their personalities but theres quite a bit that I found to be similar. Idk maybe I’m reaching but that’s what it reminded me of as I read it

I just finished reading the novel and after reading Yohan’s pov and getting all that new info, I NEEDED to reread this. It really gives you a whole new perspective and I feel like some things that didn’t make sense first really start to click. I didn’t think I would, but I actually ended up really loving yohan despite hating him at first. I really think everyone should go read the novel because this manhwa is really well done but the tension and atmosphere of the novel is really something else.

I’m really confused why taeyoon is crashing out over this. I thought he was over his ex so what does it matter if he took it. I just don’t get what’s going on at this point. Also why is THIS the one thing that shows taeyoon that jaemin is really trash.

I never thought I’d say this but we NEED a second ml. This one can’t be fixed and my boy Kim Dan deserves better anyways

Everyone wants to see the chase arc. And honestly we’re gonna get a pretty good andante suffering, groveling, and chasing jin arc but the author reeeeeeeeally likes to drag things out and even added the misunderstanding/miscomunication trope too so honestly the chase arc just becomes super frustrating and not at all satisfying like I was hoping

I WANNA SEE THIS BITCH GROVELING FOR FORGIVENESS

If anyone else is caught up to date with the novel, I think they’d understand why I really hate the MC even despite knowing his past trauma. I got no one to talk to about this so if any of y’all have read and caught up with the novel, talk to meeeeeeeeeeee

Does anyone else feel like they didn’t really have any chemistry at all?

I’m glad that everyone is on the same page after this chapter. Whether it’s the Cain shippers or the Yahwi shippers we all FINALLY agreed Yahwi is toxic and unchanging.We all thought he was getting some type of character development but this bitch just went back and pulled the same shit he always does. Assaulting your crush is NOT how you win his heart. It didn’t work the first few time you did it and it won’t work now
