I just want to applaud you because this is well thought out and a really fun input to read, it's obvious you put a lot of thought into this. That or you have a way with words lol
ur username made me laugh really hard xD just thought I’d share
Ah hell ya I'm glad it did (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yes, I also like your name, Ugly Medieval Baby!
Are most of these Jiwon comments filled with genuine hate for the guy? I really hope not. I only try to joke about how much of an idiot I think he is, and I guess I’m feeling the need to explain a bit about myself to try and give some context as to why I’m rather supportive of Jiwon in the first place. So, here I go…
I was interested in memorizing the Korean alphabet (Hangul) back in 2015 to help me understand the language’s syntax and to particularly be able to read webtoons from that country. While I’ll always appreciate Japanese manga, I just felt the urge to go the extra mile because of certain manhwas. This has helped me follow BJ Alex pretty decently whenever there’s a new update.
Now, you might be thinking that being able to understand the raws might not matter when it comes to spotting a real asshole. Well, while that is usually true, knowing both English and Korean has helped me actually realize that there’s a lot more to this particular webtoon than the apparent smut material and Jiwon is actually being shaped to be one of the most interesting characters I’ve read in this type of yaoi setting.
I’ll now give examples (mainly referring to my past posts/replies) to try and support my opinion and the point to all this ramble.
#1 question I want to explain: Is Jiwon is the scum of the earth and should you hate him?
This past post of mine tries to explain why I don’t think he’s as bad as a lot of people are making him out to be (warning, it discusses chapter 20) - http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/2833043/
I also kind of rudely typed out a book in this user’s topic post: http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/2875612/ - Do look this one over though since I reveal some juicy info to further support why I don’t think Jiwon is all that bad.
#2 question I want to explain: Does Jiwon actually like Dong-Gyun?
This is something that’s being talked about A LOT on both the English and Korean social media outlets for webtoons, trust me. And honestly… Only Mingwa has the answers to that. I could go on for days with my analysis on Jiwon and how I think he actually already has acknowledged he is starting to care, but it might all become a moot effort if the creator actually has a different plan for the main couple and as much as it would sadden me if that’s the route she decided to stick with, it wouldn’t surprise me because this manhwa has already revealed a lot of different tones and I think she has the freedom there to take it in any direction because of that.
#3 question I want to explain: BJ MD WHO DIS AND WHY JIWON BE SO MAD ABOUT HIM?
I did an outline of this here: http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/2873846/
If you’ve looked all this over and still hate Jiwon, though, I can’t change your opinion. I do hope my explanations (the comedy drenched ones too) have maybe shed some light, though.
And, of course, I’ll be looking forward to chapter 23 and I hope you do also!
