i was expecting at some point in this chapter, one of them would snap out of it and make a rational decision… wtf
imma be honest, i would have made the same decision as yeon. kihoon deserves to live his life to the fullest without that impeding anxiety holding him back
i can’t take this seriously lmao. it reads like a wattpad story. haven’t laughed this much in a while
idk about y’all, but i’m enjoying this arc. dohu is slowly learning the emotions juheon went through when they dated, and my baby girl juheon is finally getting chased for the right reasons. he may distance himself, but dohu is not one to back down once he sets his mind to something. so lowkey, i don’t feel any dread or angst when reading this arc ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I agree! This arc is amazing, it’s not really a redemption or chasing arc as well, it’s a main point in the middle of their relationship. Juheon is trying to protect dohu while dohu believes he needs redemption (in a way he does but juheon’s priority isn’t dohu apologizing but him being safe) - I’m so sad that most readers don’t get this
Exactly same feeling! They both need this arc so much, Dohu to learn all these emotions, and Juheon to break through his suffering and finally understand that he's not alone since Dohu will still be by his side! And I'm tired of people who want Dohu to let go, like, isn't it how coping with struggles looks like? They both are struggling! You need to go through it step by step! But apparently everyone just want them to bang again right away, gosh!
Seriously, the fact that more readers don't get the aim of how Juheon and Dohu are dealing with their traumas and trying to overcome all that struggling, where of course both of them put the other one on the first place! It may be tough, as people's emotions are so complex, but this journey is beautiful, and I'm so glad that Hodot is doing such an amazing job showing their feelings and challenges, love them both equally!
i think the author wrote in a tweet that dohu does not regret anything he did. so, him learning to empathize with juheon is probably the closest we’ll get to that sort of redemption or sense of regret
I think that would be very consistent with his character, to not feel like full 'regret', but definitely he's definitely slowly starting to reach the phase of understanding, cannot wait for that!
i heard it was a mess, so i just wanna know enough info to maybe dive into this story without going through the stress. thanks (づ￣ ³￣)づ
“You always have to get everything you want when you want it, yet you never once wanted me.” I couldn’t really understand Joo-an’s love for Hajin, if it was ever that deep, because he had dated other people before reuniting with Hajin. This quote really cemented his character for me. Joo-an only wanted Hajin WHEN the timing was right and he remembered he had a first love in Korea. As Seojoon said, Joo-an had to get that thing WHEN he wanted it. Joo-an rushes into things when he feels something, but none of what he felt for his previous lovers or for Hajin was ever that special… or else he would have realized he was in love with Seojoon. Maybe because he couldn’t recognize his love for Seojoon, that he mistook whatever fondness he had for other people as love? I also predict that Seojoon being in the Korean branch might have been what lead Joo-an to unconsciously want to do the show in Korea, making him think it was for Hajin (like why now of all places right?). It’s been a while since I resumed the manhwa so maybe I’m wrong about a lot of things. Just my thoughts ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I do honestly think that Joo-an never really liked Hajin and instead was obsessed with this childhood memory he has of him, hell I might even believe he actually wanted to become successful and be where he is now to go and impress him but I can't even for a moment actually believe he loved him or really actually liked him, it was more like what Seojoon and you said that he had this thing he wanted and he just had to have it (referring to Hajin), that would also explain why he wasn't actually that sad when he didn't get a chance. I do also believe that there is a chance he actually has or had even if unconsciously feelings fo Seojoon but always only thought about him as a friend and never actually tried to really know him cause actually caring/ loving someone seems something he might regard as uncomfortable, of course it's just an opinion but from the looks of it he never had a proper relationship but only situations that looked more like friends with benefits. Mind you this does not make him any less shitty both as a friend and a potential lover HELL THIS IDIOT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW MY MAN FAVORITE DRINK AFTER TWELVE YEARS, I do believe that there needs to be another fight before they actually get together cause even just a conversation I don't think would work as well, Seojoon need to yell at him al the times and the ways he hurt him and Joo-an needs to either say sorry and let him go for good or make a yelling love confession cause after all the shite he pulled just getting close again would be unfair and kinda forced for me. Sorry about the long ass response I got too involved in the story
╥﹏╥
Nah you’re good. I’m glad that someone else has also typed up a long comment. The story is interesting for sure ヾ(☆▽☆)
to be fair, neither of them have much personality. but it does seem a little idiotic and maybe even OOC for MC to suggest the very thing ML said he didn’t want his father to dictate over. also, MC has some sort of selective hearing (or maybe my reading comprehension was off): the woman isn’t ML’s fiancé yet. unless he really thinks ML is a playboy and cheater… it’s kinda hard to understand how he fell in love if this is his view of his love interest. hmmm, what do y’all think?
No you're totally right, ML isn't engaged yet, the MC just twisted what he heard to suit the narrative he was expecting. I don't like that he just parroted everything the father said to the ML?
Really feels like the author didn't know how else to create conflict so they had to manhandle the characters into shallow drama.
It wasn't even selective hearing– Ichimura just straight up did NOT care about Nishino's wellbeing or feelings. He was told to his face MULTIPLE times that Nishino was unhappy with the arranged marriage and had NO plans to actually marry that girl – yet Ichimura not once takes this into consideration because he does not think Nishino's feelings matter. To Ichimura, Nishino has to bear the duty of being the business' heir by marrying whoever his father chooses. Everything Nishino is fighting against, everything Nishino does not want to let stay as-is, is essentially sensible in Ichimura's eyes. He does not understand why Nishino wants independency. Therefore, he does not understand how any of this would make him unhappy.
It's a wonder Nishino manages to like him. It's a wonder Ichimura calls this "love" when he feels it so one-sidedly.
my lesbian senses are tingling
