THIS !!!!!
Sooo Right!!
People are whining when they facing a real life problem in the main character. Irl, character like Hajin who's difficult to overcome his past despite knowing very well it only caused problem is surely exist. They fall in love, finding the perfect significant other, yet they hardly be free from the shackle of the past. They blamed it on Hajin that his problem isn't worthy to oh so pure puppy love Geonwoo offer. They just can't handle Hajin ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Agreee. Puppy seme overrated (〜￣△￣)〜
Unpopular opinion: Just bc Geonwoo's love is more innocent does not make it pure and not superficial.
I saw some comments that Hajin is not measuring up to Geonwoo and even doesn't deserve him.
Geonwoo started liking Hajin purely bc of looks and the smell of bread at the start. Sure, he likes Hajin a lot, helps him in the bakery and wants to become a more impressive person. But is that enough? So what? He helps in the bakery bc he wants to get close, he wants to be better bc he got jealous and compared himself to the childhood friend. It's not altruistic or purely for the sake of Hajin.
It's easy for him to confess and be in love. Why is he the standard for their relationship?
I'm not saying Hajin should be the standard either, the messaging in the story is clear he does not know how to have a proper relationship. But I think relationships also aren't just about confessing. I think it's about time and commitment. Which Hajin is slowly demonstrating. He'll get to announcing the label, he's just having a hard time saying it. He's already treating it as an exclusive relationship.
It's fine bc in this story Hajin likes him back. But it reminds me about the women who are told "Why don't you marry the guy who really really likes you?" bc he's safe and loves u more so therefore he's better. Or the ppl who date below their "league" bc they dont think the person will cheat on them then.
I don't want Hajin to b okay w the boyfriend label only once he feels Geonwoo would never break up w him. That's not overcoming the insecurity. That's sidestepping it. Geonwoo himself is fine waiting and I'm excited to see a more mature love fr Geonwoo too.
