I agree with you. After the way Yuna treated Jooyoung, I stopped caring about this whole thing. I like Joy as a character, although she was put on a pedestal as the perfect/ideal character, she shows that she is a grown adult woman. I was actually hoping for Joy and Yuna to break up just because Yuna is way too selfish and immature to give any mature person a healthy relationship.
I don't even care about Dahyee, she lacked development but that's also because we saw the whole story from Yuna's view and Dahye didn't get enough time to be properly developed.
But Yuna though....holly hell. Just absolutely no development at all in 40 chapters! Throughout the story, she used and dumped 2 people like a hot potato without batting an eye. In the end, she wasn't even 100% sure that Dahye liked her back and she just right away dumped Joy. This is extremely bad behaviour to have, for the person themselves and for those around them.
A good ending would've been for Yuna to actually just break up with Joy and NOT end up with Dahye and give her the chance to grow as a person.
I can't understand the people calling Yuna cute...people like Yuna are just toxic to have in life. The people who do shit to others without thinking, never learning or changing yet they're accepted because they're ''naive'' and ''innocent''.
No need to apologize. Your rant actually added some important points about Yuna's character. I didn't want to get too much into it, but you are absolutely right in saying that Yuna's character left a lot to be desired. 40 chapters and no development is pretty impressive (in a bad way).
I wish there was a dialogue about Yuna's weird attraction to Dahye. Sure, Dahye's brother and Jooyoung pointed it out, but Yuna herself never realizes how much of a hindrance it is to her personal development. She has never gone on a date with another woman. She gets jealous of Dahye's friends. It makes for a boring, flat character with no hobbies outside of pining for her straight best friend.
I could go on, but I don't want to make this too long. Just wanted to say you're right and that you shouldn't be angry at yourself for expecting good quality stories lol
This webtoon could have been better. I think the author has talent and is trying their hand at writing a romance like this, but they seemed to have stumbled to the finish line. From the beginning, people already called out that Joy and Yuna were going to break up because their relationship was rushed. Now Yuna's relationship with Dahye is rushed. There was so little build-up for either relationship that it makes this GL especially underwhelming. I rushed through the end because I just wanted to get the reading done and over with.
I think what's most annoying is Dahye's behaviour and how it is rewarded at the end. She lashes out at Yuna and Joy at every instance the moment she finds out that they used to date. Even when she knows they broke up, Dahye snaps at Joy. It's pretty disappointing, knowing that Yuna ends up with Dahye who has shown herself to be irrationally jealous. She's a 26 year-old woman acting like a teenager and I got embarrassed the more I read her side of the story. She doesn't have to act perfectly, but her inability to sit down and talk to Yuna like an adult is what throws me off. The worst part is that Yuna just tolerates it when she realizes that Dahye likes her back.
I don't say this because I wanted Yuna to end up with Joy or something (I didn't care who she ended up with since they wrote Jooyoung out of the story), but because so much could have been done about the characters: Joy could have been better fleshed out, Dahye could have learned that she doesn't OWN Yuna's affection and attention, and Yuna could have grown a spine and told Dahye that her behaviour was harmful. Instead, we got two rushed, half-baked relationships, neither of which are as compelling and passionate as they could have been.
Hoping that the author of Unrequited Love Skill writes more GL. They have a knack for building suspense and tension. The art is quite beautiful and I loved to see butch rep. It's their romance that needs work. Because this could have been much, much better than what we got in the end.
