Also just to add. I feel like in this story Yiyong is portrayed way more immature than his character in the prequel story. ?? Idk I can feel more of that age gap and difference in experience between them here, as opposed to the prequel where they seemed more matched and had fun??? Am I insane? Maybe i need to reread everything?? Confusionsss.
Correction. Not immature. More like childish.
I noticed this too and I think you had the right words with immature AND childish. I think yiyoung is naive, a bit too passive and lacks dating experience & thats why he’s coming off childish. And those arent the best qualities when dating and dealing with someone older, more mature, more polished, and with more dating + life experience than you. Everybody is focusing on bashing the new guy, or not seeing Kangs realistic insecurity with dating a younger guy and not expecting yi to want to be with his old ass possibly forever which is realistic in age gap relationships. The new guy is that random distraction ingredient thrown in the webtoon pot to shake stuff up, its unnecessary and tired but i’d like to see yiyoung firmly step up and assert his self more like a grown man in his relationship kang and with this pushy new guy by setting boundaries,That alone would make a more mature yiyoung.
Oh thank god you also noticed. I thought I was going crazy because in my memories the last story ended pretty well and I thought they were cute together, but when I skimmed through this, they felt so mismatched and weird as a couple. But yeah I hope yiyong can mature and go back to how he was previously because he feels so dumbed down in this sequel
Yesssss! They feel awkward now from the beginning of these new chapters and dont have the smooth energy of 2 people dating who like each other. It’s a weird change of pace. And I dont mean that to imply that they dont like each other, just that they lack the “comfortableness” of a relaxed couple. Lol if that makes sense.
I'm kinda in and out of this story just to see what's going on but....why would you go eat out with someone, who has been hitting on you, when you have a bf? Also Yiyong seems to be forgetful that he is being hit on? I don't recall him being this incompetent in the first story? How do you continuously forget someone is hitting on you? No hate toward Yiyong. I understand he and director had an argument about the longevity of their relationship but this just feels so tone deaf even if he is mad at the director. Is it normal to argue with a lover then go eat out with someone hitting on you? I'm confusion.
Also third party guy, stfu and gtfo. You can just tell this dude has never been told no in his whole life.
