Dan was depressed BEFORE he met Jaekyung!
I don't know y'all thought the depression would magically disappear when he left JK.
He literally said in the letter that being with JK was like fresh air (cause he didn't have to worry about bills/debt/his next meal and he had started developing feelings for the man).
When you all realise that for Kim Dan, Jaekyung isn't even close to the biggest of his problems, dude has obviously been dealing with low self-esteem/abandonment issues/loneliness and alcohol dependence BEFORE JK.
They both need to heal from stuff, but y'all are so blinded by your dislike of JK that you think you(the audience) and Dan are on the same emotional wavelength.
Nah, doesn't excuse the love interest for being a pos. And also, the hate is warranted because of how he treated the folks around him. Just because he's suffering from issues, doesn't mean he can just treat folks like trash. How about he heals himself first from all his trauma before he goes back to the mc? But, that'll never happen because Mingwa loves to make his mc be a martyr for a garbage love interest. Let's be honest.
I'm Not excusing anything from JK. I'm just astounded that a majority of the audience seem to be viewing this story black/white and can't seem to understand why Dan would get attached to JK even with all his assholery.
But it's interesting how you ignored everything i said about Dan and just talked about JK being a "pos". Seems to be how most if you are interacting with this story
Bruh the way I've written a longer reply and this site just nuked it because of a single emoji. This hellsite man...
Anyway, posting it again. If it gets nuked again, I'm giving up.
Sorry but you jaekyung defenders could never make me like him. The way he's written is so *insert nauseous emoji*
I know Kim Dan's got his own long set of problems because of poverty. It's been frustrating seeing him make poor life decisions because of it. If he doesn't have is own trauma and life problems to deal with, he wouldn't be this vulnerable and cornered enough to fall into this toxic relationship with that pos ya know.
All I'm saying is the author never makes their mc suffer as much as the love interest aight? Let's not act like there's no truth in what I said. It's kinda evident in their stories. But hey, you know if ever they do make a great redemption arc for him, although I'll never like the dude, I'd swallow my own words about him not suffering enough. So, dont be so pressed about it.
Where did I say that Dan leaving him will make his depression disappear? I didn't even mention anything about depression, and I didn't even trashtalk Jaekyung here for you to jump on me like this. I'm not an idiot and I was just talking about the author's writing. It seems like you're taking your frustrations about what the other readers think about this story and Jaekyung on me. I don't even hate the guy fr I know he has some kind of past to make him act the way he does, but that doesn't mean I can't be upset about the things he does to Dan right? I just want Dan to be happy okay, with or without Jaekyung and I'm frustrated that the author can't make Dan happy even for a while:) That is all.
That's the point of a STORY. How a person goes grom Point A to Point B. Where's Dan's happiness supposed to come from when his major problems are still present?? You're complaining about an ongoing story as if the author's isn't intentional on the emotional turmoil the characters are in, because that's literally the point of the story rn
HOW COME DAN IS SUFFERING MORE THAN JAEKYUNG He having a very nice peaceful country side life with his grandma and people actually that care for him+a cute dog, but he's plagued by nightmares and guilt to even feel happy and just keeps deteriorating Really mingwa you're downright devious for this. The way she still makes Dan suffer even though it's supposed to be Jaekyung's turn is beyond me. FREE KIM DAN
