What am I even saying. Like the author even gives a real fuck about this kind of thing. lmao
Yeah. Most like BJ Alex but forget how kind of...meh the redemption arc was. And how abrupt. I'd recommend Can't Think Straight because the couple there goes through equal amounts of character development.
Idk, I think Dan did reach a point where suicide could've been one of his thoughts, the thing I really don't like is how they used it as an excuse to give that motherfucker another hero moment, like that could erase every fucked up thing he has done. In my opinion every other choice would've been better, even a finale where Dan really dies would've been better, because at that point JK would've been forced to face everything he did to him for real instead of just getting out of every consequence by just saving him
Nah, i agree. Jk needed to grovel more. Really understand the severity of his actions and stuff. I'm disappointed
Thanks for the recommendation, I might check it out. To be honest I’ve fallen out of the habit of reading webtoons where romance is the A plot, I more prefer when there’s like…other stuff happening…precisely because of this kind of thing lol
Yeah, like I said, I might’ve missed it/not read too much into it—I was thinking more in terms of how it was set up. But seeing other people’s comments saying they related to his feelings made me think maybe it isn’t as improbable as I thought. I know my mental health had also taken a heavy, heavy toll when my own grandma was sick, and certainly after she passed away—so I can’t take that away from anyone.
But I agree it’s just…incredibly frustrating that his depression and this suicide attempt is being used in this way. I think that’s what I’m mainly upset about. That it isn’t allowed to just be about Dan being in this dark place but about how Jaekyung, a huge part of the reason why he’s there in the first place, can come “save” him without having done any work for it. It was the same shit when those lone sharks were about to rape Dan or when Dan just so happened to get with with fucking aphrodasiac drugs of all things—it’s almost never Jaekyung making a conscious and deliberate choice to do something different or do something better or do something because he’s actually driven to it, but him just happening to be at the right place at the right time. Man.
Yeah fr, it's so frustrating that the author justify this kind of behaviour. You can't just be a fucking awful person 24/7 and then do the bare fucking minimum and expect to be excused. Like griw the fuck up man
Ohhh if I remembered correctly I loved Can't think straight
When I saw that Dan and everyone were taking a photo together directly in front of the hospital he was working at with the name of it on display and everything I thought, oh, I know what’s going to happen—the photo will end up on social media or just left open on Potato’s/Heesung’s phone, Jaekyung will see it, and he will use it to go seek out Dan. Only for him to materialize just in time to save Dan from a suicide attempt that, frankly, comes out of nowhere. God. Really? No further chasing? No buildup? Jaekyung just appears in time to “save” Dan from some contrived situation again?
Even a real, failed suicide attempt that Dan would’ve needed to properly recover from would’ve been more interesting. Fine if we’re so bent on letting these two get together in the end, let Dan actually hit rock bottom and build himself back up again. Or allow him time to be properly miserable. Like, you know, it is often that when a loved one does attempt to commit suicide, the people around them don’t see it coming—that the person who is suicidal will go out of their way, sometimes, to hide it. But like we’ve been in Dan’s POV now for a while. Maybe I missed it but the guy didn’t seem as hopeless as to want to take his life. Depressed, for sure, but. Whatever I guess.
