Damn.... I wish I could've actually entered this on the prediction markets. Half way through and down to the fucking noise. I AM SEATEDDDDDD. Oh baby Pilsang is about to disappear. I want this to end ne.xt season but fuck no....... I'm gon need AT LEAST 20 CHAPTERS OF GROVELING then maybe you can have my baby back. Jooeon you fucking idiot
Im betting money Jooeon's about to say something heinous in his quest to keep up appearances because he doesnt know Pilsang is there. Pilsang will then either make a noise resulting in him being heard or just ghost. Jooeon and the girl will notice while Pilsang dips out. Because he on one hand feels its his fault anywway and on the other is going to be down bad behind whatever comes out his mouth. Then he'll use that gift he got chapters back to disable Jooeon's cube long enough to disappear off the map. The next season will be a chase arc after Jooeon sees that life isn't going the way he plans when he tries to just say he can live with out Pilsang.
I’m seeing the first one happening but I’m also seeing the second where Pilsang hears something that breaks his heart and leaves quietly deactivating the cube. Self absorbed Jooeon however doesn’t notice until it’s been a minute and he’s getting no feedback from the cube. Like he tries to drop in because he can’t necessarily go over to his house right now due to the news and asks to see Pilsang and when he can’t see anything is when he becomes aware and worried. He’ll track that Pilsang came to his house and left then disappeared .Pilsang has always suffered in silence for love, I don’t see him changing this. It’s going to Jooeon noticing the absence and the uncertainty of it
So... don't ask because I'm saying no off the principle of ensuring we all get to enjoy this story and many more like it. But I bring a gift from raws land and I think we have about 3-4 chapters left for the season, but we are going to end in a very good spot for the season. Very much in line with the novel. The author is pacing really well, and the next season based off what's left of the story should be the final season. Another gift from raw lands is.... The season has been over for around almost 3 months and the author gave us season 2 like 4 months after season 1 so :).... we could only have to wait a short period of time before it returns.
The author just dropped the plane out the sky fuck a smooth landing . I hate when people can write tragedy but not resolution. Like this dead ass was like a 5 chapter thing. The rehab and this was rushed and they shouldve sat in those in between moments when Dan was out of it and he was being taken care of unbeknownst to him. That way when he shook his hand the moment had more gravity.... and instead of him just leaving abruptly he couldve been in out patient . This was too quick for the amount of time that progressed post match. Now yall crying on the street....sis
So I've read far enough ahead in the novel and..... Ill wait for the manga because the novel chapters I feel are too short for the subtleness and nuance required. Like this story isn't a forward propelling one when you read. It relies a lot more on the interiority of the characters and the pictures help you to see that. They are cute when we get back to the time skip, thats what I'm interested in.
Concept isnt new but their execution of it, its pretty unique. We should be in for a good ride if it sticks to the novel.
Pilsang would never in life take the frontal approach, he's too guarded for that. So babe wakeup, and lock in cause Jooeon is about to start pressing and I need you to not be so weak willed when he does, because he's going to break your heart. Jooeon is going to try and intellectualize his feelings and hes going to mess up a good thing because hes too "smart" to notice hes actually in love.
That twing in your chest is called love you dork, get the cube to research it.







Ok I finished and reread a couple times. I have to say this author wrote through a complete ending. Like tied up and connected all the loose strings. Got rid of the wife factor, played the ace in the hole button they'd buried in the earlier part of the season, gave the reader the physical resolution in Pilsang hitting him (cause he fucking needs it ),keyed up the chasing arc. And did all of it while not leaving us hanging, I love a complete season, like the easier one would've been ending with Jooeon seeing him leave. This is so better because now we know he heard you, he now will no longer trust anything you say, Jooeon you cannot find him now as easily as you assumed and getting him back. Guarantees you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Jooeon Road to I'm a Dumbass in Love Tour Season 2:
First stop His parents, because that'll be the first fall out of this canceled marriage shit, explaining to Dad how he doesn't care about the inheritance and then beating the gossip to a pulp. Next, the debt collectors which will have him figuring out who actually beat up Pilsang in the first place. And will sidebar into him hunting the man who beat him up down personally because the dude will finally understand that Pilsang has dealt with a lot of terrible ass people....Jooeon also being one of those. Then we will have a little character work in this space, maybe some denial, let's throw ourselves into work cause the trail is running cold. And then he's going to end up finally reaching out to the other couple, because he's trail's still cold and he has no leads. This is where the android is the one to tell the human... idiot maybe you're actually in love lol
Me thinks that Pilsang will be with the wood carver in the cabin living a very mundane life or by himself. And the only reason he gets found is because the wood carver goes into town for supplies or because Pilsang is in heat and it alerts Jooeon somehow.
I dont think next season will focus on Pilsang's interiority that much because we got to see everything this season really through him. Now we get to see Jooeon unravel.. Putting my bets in now so I can come back next year...cause I know author nim is probably gone until at least Christmas ╥﹏╥
I think so too. Pilsang will start wood carving and somehow find his way back to the city. But if the author wants to make him a truly skilled woodcarver, that would probably require quite a significant time skip. Then again, I don't know... the author has been doing an amazing job with the story's pacing and progression.
I thought Pilsang had fully recovered? I really hope he has.
I don’t know if he’s recovered fully or if his heat timing has just been extended. Which is why it could be a plot device , to help get them moving back towards each other if desperate Jooeon turns the heat alarm back on from the beginning . Because outside of that or catching him via surveillance, Pilsang could become a ghost .
And yes I will say my biggest pet peeve is a story with terrible pacing. This one has been smooth and it’s what makes me confident that unless they have a stroke and forget how to write, any and all angst will make sense because it’ll still progress the overall story whether that’s in character backstory work, because I know Jooeon is going to have more to this I don’t know what love is story. Life is so easy it’s boring . Like I lowkey want a time jump, imagine a more well adjusted Pilsang living his life with a hobby for pleasure .
Pilsang hasn't had an actual heat since ch18 so he may be cured or like you said the time in between has just been extended.
We all know he's going to the wood carver's cabin but maybe he meets the adopted grandson and he becomes 2nd ml. Jooeon going though Pilsang's room, sees the carving stuff or the cat statue and goes to find the wood carver who tells him where he is. Then when he gets to the cabin he sees Pilsang happy with this other guy which could be new romance or just misunderstanding.
I'm just already so amped for season 2.
Oooo lets follow your theory, what if he does meet the son but the second ml is a bottom who doesn't necessarily resemble his previous crush but is different from Jooeon. And I could see it being either Pilsang trying to move on or genuinely just an actual FRIEND for the first time in a long time. But I do think Jooeon misunderstands like he did in the beginning when he thought Pilsang actually went through with having sex with the escort talking about he had a "type" and implying he was a slut -__-. And that could happen prior to Jooeon understanding he actually loves Pilsang. Like he finally catches him sees him with the "second ML" and imagine him trying to process a feeling like JEALOUSY when he can't even process love. That man is going to leave, be angry and throw himself into work.... cue up the android and him having a conversation some time later after he starts seeing Pilsang in everything he does or he start's shirking work.... I know that android conversation is going to come and its going to be a revisit to the theme park chapter just in reverse. Like Mr. Chairman maybe you are experiencing the confusion that you call being human....
I'd love it if Jooeon doesn't even see them doing anything just Pilsang genuinely smiling and then he has to think "he's never smiled like that at me" which is what sparks the jealousy cuz he previously thought he could just show up again and charm his way back into his heart.
Jooeon tries to confront him at one point, asking if grandson is helping with his heat now. Or seeing Jooeon triggers his heat for the first time in forever but Jooeon assumes his heats have been regular and he's been having sex with other people to get through it. So Pilsang gives him the cold shoulder or lies and says yes. Either to make him jealous or to avoid admitting he still has feelings and couldn't move on from Jooeon.
Idk how involved grandson would actually be but I have so many theories. Honestly, kinda don't want Pilsang to get with anyone else but also I want him to have someone that cares about him and doesn't play games even if it isn't romantic.
oooooo. See the author needs to let us in the writing room we would COOK
