Ok, I got a serious question cause it’s so weird to me. Why is it that there are so many manhwas that when a movie theater is mentioned, like 90% of the time an MC will say that they’ve never been to a theater, or that their las time st a theater was when were six or something ridiculous like that…like is that supposed to make the experience that more alluring? Is it a plot tactic to add more romantic feel to it? Or is it like super rare for South Koreans to go see a movie??? Like wtf is up with those types of common responses to seeing a movie mentioned in manhwa??!

Like I don’t go to the theaters often, ngl, I can’t remember the last movie I saw in theaters, but…like it’s so FREAKIN WEIRD to say you never went to one and the other party is like…bet. Like…WHAT?

    idk abt other cases but here i think its bcs he didnt have any friends??? & was bullied so that's probably what theyre trying to show, that he never had anyone to go with

    My adult self has never been to one either. I don't think going to theaters is something almost everybody in the world has done tbh.

    Nah、I had never been to one either,
    I think it was a year back(?) where I went to one to watch susume no tojimara on the day it was released. Was excited af since I've never been to one. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
    That's the only 1 time I went.
    So I would say, it differs from per person, I would also loved it if somone asks me to go to the theatre for a movie (probably won't be able to sleep the night)( ̄∇ ̄")

    Ah wow, veerrrry interesting.
    I’ll admit I didn’t think about the bullying as to why he didn’t go, and his parents weren’t really close with him like that right? I can’t recall much atm.

    Thanks for answering! lol it was an honest question and I hope no one took any offense!
