I think we're forgetting that nakyum is a Gisaeng???......... And seungho is a lord???? And jihwa is also a lord???? And it's the joseon dynasty in this webtoon....... And it's not a fluff webtoon we're talking about????? We're talking about a slowburn storyline?????
He's not a gisaeng, he's a painter basically held captive by a lord and forced to prostitution.
that’s true
im sure we will eventually but like you said this is back then they suddenly cant have a modern mindset
While I like how things are developing, I also hate that SH keeps NK at an arm's length because of his status and how NK is forced to call SH 'my lord' and act subservient all the time. I understand that society was different back then and people valued status, but I want some equal grounds. I want NK to be able to call him 'Seungho', just like Ji-Hwa does. I'm not talking about the public space here, I mean privately. Who's to judge what they do behind closed doors? Otherwise, it just doesn't feel like a romantic relationship to me. It's still a master-servant/master-prostitute relationship.
I really hope we'll get there...
