I agree. However, I don't blame him for asking her to marry him. He knew how much she loves her job and he thought a lot about it before asking her because he knew how much she would have to give up. But if there was a slight possibility... I think in his opinion he had to take the chance and say it, because it would've been weirder if he didn't ask at all (like he didn't ask him to marry me did he not take our relationship that seriously kind of thing) also love makes you ask selfish things. So I really don't blame him for asking her to choose. The important part was he never forced her to do anything and they separated because he wanted her to be happy. I'm honestly glad she chose to do the work she loves. And True, it's not easy to "just get a job" like how some ignorant people in the comments section pointed out.
My friend fell in love with a foreigner in her late 40s. After a year of long distance relationship she found a job in his country and moved there. It's been 5 years ago and they still happy together.
I won't say that such risk is always good, but sometimes yes.
haha, calling people ignorant because they have a different opinion that you...
He should have asked absolutely, otherwise they both could have that age old regret " I should have just asked, now I will never know" and her " he never asked so I guess he didn't want me that much". OTH, he pretty much knew her answer, he asked out of love and accepted who she was and what she wanted out of love.
But it's true. She can't just move over to Italy and expect to easily find a job especially a job that focuses on designing lights(her dream job). Relocating to be with someone you love might work for some people, but her dream job is to design lights. It's not easy to just give it up especially for a career woman in Korea who is expected to live off her husband's salary and take care of kids. It's even harder because she doesn't even speak Italian. So I don't understand what you meant by that statement. Ignorant means lacking knowledge or comprehension about something. So sorry for my choice of words, I was just pointing things out. But aren't you rushing into this too quickly?
Sometimes like this,I really don't understand why people insist to work. Really? Okey ,you can like your job but people shouldn't forget it is for money and happiness. It doesn't mean every woman must work. Or if women work it means they are independent or stronger. Of you believe you will be happy with that person and your financial stiation will be good why you insist to work? You can find lots of hobbies you can spend more efkme with your children, you can spend more time for yourself . And they want to child in her age it is normal to have child and of course you.musy take care of your child. If he was not moved still when she has a child she break to work and at least spend 3 years with her child. And it will be same situation with living abroad. my mom was pretty good architecture and before they married with my dad she give up because she wanted to take care of her child properly and every time. Until 7 years I reached by my mom everyday was full of fun and my mom. I didn't see my mom as a powerless woman. Unlike I saw her as a idol. She always cook for as ,clean all house, helping our lesson, going out with us, enjoying with each other. Our
Our financial statue not always good but we always share that smile. I can't imagine my childhood without my mom. Of she was at work and I was in kindergarten in early age I am sure I won't be that willingly to be like her.
It's not really about being looked down as a woman for her. It's more about that she loves her job. Your mother might have been happy but that doesn't mean all women are happy with that kind of situation. Difference in perspective, you see.
Yes, I understand what you and the other commenter said. I didn't really hate Chun. More of, I hate the situation. I get that he had to ask, because of course he had to as he really liked her but then, it just doesn't sit right with me. It's just too complicated. Tho maybe I'm not making enough sense? Hahahaha
I think noone be happy when it comes to make a decision between your lover and lovely work. I also didn't like it. But it is shouju. They must definitely do something big and separate readers to part and wait us for new chapters. You are right it can change for person . I was also saying that. I saw lots of comments about how can be women strong without job and just look his husband eyes etc style comments and I hate it. Not every women need to go company and work .Nobody has right to do decision instead of me. And also lots of them angry him about proposal. Looks like he has rough times , he was suffer and he want to be her always. İt is not easy to man decide marriage proposal after just months. He consider her job and didn't insist. He know she love her work and after aging goodbye he eleft. He could be insist or just say didn't like her enough and go abroad. He wanted he rti choose him . At elats he wanted to her know hai feelings properly and look that small hope
I sort of understand? Hahaha In any case, it will be Ya Eun's choice. I just hope that she gets to choose what'll be the best for her.
All of us hope for it ...
Just realized how serious we are when we are talking about imaginal characters. I think it shows how mangaka successful to picture our life's.
I knowwww. Her characterization's are real enough that we can truly connect with them. Her depiction of their thoughts and struggles are thought provoking (or well, it did for me). Kudos to author-nim
It's hard to "just get a job" in a new place, more so in a foreign country. Coupled with the fact that some companies might prefer young people over an adult in his/her thirties. Even with a good resume, it's not gonna be easy. And then, if they do get married, Ya Eun will have to stop and have a baby because it will be dangerous for her if she gets pregnant at an even older age. After that, taking care of the baby. When will she have the time to get back to doing work? After her child is what? 5 yrs old? She's going to be at what age then? Who's going to hire her at that age? For someone who is in love with her work, that's going be tough for her.
I think it was romantic that chun even gave her the choice to be with him. But at the same time, I don't like that he made that offer to her. Bcs, the same could be said to him. Give up the transfer order to be with Ya Eun, but no one is taking that route, bcs it is work and it will be for his future. So then Ya Eun has to give up HER work for him? Utter BS.
I don't hate any of them, just to be clear. Well, except for the orange haired bitch from the start. It's just that, I really don't like the position that Ya Eun is in.
