Yes, I agree. I would have prefered that Ewon chose another decision. He's right to think of himself and his lover (and so his own happiness) but contrary to his mother, his sister hasn't abandoned him.
Ewon did to his sister the same thing that his parents did to him and it's not right.
I would have prefered to see his sister visit him during the holidays and that she went on a good boarding school during the year. I'm sad he decided to let go of her like this.
I disagree, I think Ewon's sister has more than he ever did. His parents left him to die, and only by chance did someone come and find him. The betrayal he experienced was much harsher and at a younger age. She on the other hand hasn't had to worry about a roof over her head, or finances.He's made sure her life is easier than anything he ever had to deal with. Yes she is going to experience hardship due to the mother, but that is the only thing she will ever have to worry about. He gave her everything except the shirt off his back, I feel he handled it how it should be. He can't have her coming in and out of a Yazuka's house and place her in danger. He also can't take her away from the mother she loves. It was a hard decision, but if not made when will he be able to stop delaying his own happiness.
From a financial point of view, indeed Ewon did a right thing for his sister (and also for his mother who maybe doesn't deserve it because she abandoned her son. I don't forget that). But I still think that it's different for his sister because she didn't know she had a brother. She has just the time to begin to love him and to care before hearing she won't see her brother again. I would be very upset and sad if I were in her shoes. Actually, she reacted like himself - Ewon at her age - saying to Mookyul that he was going to wait for his return. It's very tragical from my point of view.
I didn't want to see Ewon delaying his own happiness but I found Mookyul veru selfish on this matter and I think Ewon was wrong to abandon his sister. As their mother is suicidal, she'll have to deal with that even if she won't have to be troubled about financial problems. She's very young, she needs emotional support and the presence of someone stronger than her, older than her and who loves her and she won't have anyone, even her own brother. I found the thought very harsh.
Sorry saw this comment and had to reply, but it didn't seem harsh at all in my opinion. Ewon spent a month with his little sister even though he wasn't obligated to, and cared for her while their mother was in the hospital. I feel his not keeping contact was okay, because not only did he provide them with money and took on all their debts, he also did at least give his sister some memories of them together to cherish.
I also don't see anything wrong with Mookyul's attitude, when considering the things both he and Ewon have been through. Even though the way he expresses himself is harsh, most of what he says takes into consideration Ewon's circumstances and his own.
I think Ewon put an end to this nicely, since he can still keep his overly-passionate lover and also remain on good terms with his little sister (hopefully) (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Hmmm OK that's one way to look at it but its not about him paying their debts off or even how "nicely" mooyul handle the situation. Its about a MINOR being left in a incompetent adult hands. Also how can one be on good terms with someone after being abandon by them...yes he did a good deed by letting her stay with him BUT that was something he did on his own. If at the end off it all , he was just going to break off contact then I'm sorry to say this but why even worry about it. Also I don't think he put and end to it nicely. If I'm remembering correctly they were at the hospital where their mother was still a patient of. I don't think that was the best place to tell someone this is where we say goodbye . 1) one the sister is probably still worrying about the mom 2) leaving her to look after their mothers recovery is to risky.The mother is unstable. Who knows what she will do next. So I sorry to complete disagree but I thank you for sharing your opinion. It nice to see a different point of view ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Your right about the delayed happiness. But to compare what happens go him and make a judgement base off that isn't how adults think. Well, let me correct my self, RESPONSIBLE adults think. And also mookyul is a business man. Lol, he himself has made it quite clear he doesn't handle things like lowly yakuzas. And its mookyul home. I think that it would be a safer place for her. As long Ewon is there with her so she basically has some mighty good protection. Mookyul WIlL protect Ewon. So if his sister had stayed there she would have been safe. Also one can not compare someones hardships to another. Everyone has different mentality of things. But anyway thanks for sharing you opinion. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I respect your opinion but I can't agree. I think Mookyul wants Ewon only for himself. He hasn't liked the time when Ewon's sister was with them. He saw her as a nuisance and as someone who took his lover's time. It's childish. His sister is young, troubled with her problems with her mother and the death of her father and Mookyul didn't take that into consideration. Of course it takes time to get used to someone you don't know and who comes to live in your house. But I think Mookyul didn't want to be used to Nabin. He only wants Ewon and gets rid of every people who can be between himself and Ewon. It was like: it's me or your sister. I don't like that. They could have think of an arrangement, a compromise.
I think Ewon is right to think of himself and his happiness but he could think of his sister's happiness too. I would have prefered to see Nabin go in a boarding school during the year and spend her holidays sometimes with her mother and sometimes with Ewon. Mookyul would have had Ewon and Ewon wouldn't have let go of both Mookyul and his sister. I think that the decision of Ewon to abandon his sister will haunt him sometimes because he loves her. And his sister is the only member of his family who has never abandoned him. On the contrary, she wanted his presence and wanted to know him.
I think this ending is as sad as frustrating for Nabin and Ewon.
The problem with her living with Mookyul is not just that, but he can't take her away from his mother. His sister wanted to be with both of them, but to ask that of Ewon is the same as asking him to leave the one who's made him whole again for the one who broke him in the first place. The way he breaks down because he's not with Mookyul is heartbreaking. Everything he lacked Mookyul gave him and vise versa. I understand he could of been selfless and brought them both to Mookyul (though I doubt Mookyul wouldn't kill the mother first), but till what end. How much of his life is he going to keep having to give to a woman who never loved him,but uses him to her benefit. Also, I don't think of comparing the hardship, but rather saying that he made sure she doesn't have to take on everything like he did at a young age, by giving her a maid incase something she can't handle happens, and covering her payments till the day she'll get married for her and for her mother.I mean he could have put them both in a home, but he wanted to respect his sister's wishes. The only thing he couldn't give her was himself.
I think out of all the comments here yours pissed me of the most. The reason being that your comment was the most deceitful and cruel one.
You said Ewon did the same thing the parent did to him to his sister. Well, did he leave her hanging somewhere for dead like his mother did to him. No, he wanted more than anything to be a part of his sister's live but couldn't cos he realized he had to make a choice.
Or what did you want him to come right out and tell his sister to choose between staying with him and Mookyul or staying with her mother. She grow up loved by both parents there was no way she was going to choose Ewon who was more of a stranger to her over her mother.
I personally would have told her to choose between her mother or Ewon so if that woman ends up dying in the gutter some where I would not give a rats as* but in the long run this is far more cruel to the girl because the needs her mother (pity the no good mother does not realize this).
So what........would you rather have Ewon leave Mookyul and go to live with his sister and the mother who abandoned him? Spend time under the same roof, take care of his sister, use the cooking skills he acquired in other to fend for himself for his sister and a mother who abandoned him when he should be using it to spoil his lover.
Meanwhile, he would have to move out of Mookyul's house, end up visiting and talking on the phone. Ohhhhh, maybe Mookyul can even visit him once in a while where Ewon would introduce him to his mother as his lover and everybody lives happily ever after.
......... Really. No human being is made that way. Yes, the sister did nothing wrong and it's a pity she had to go thru this at such a young age too but...... really not even once did she take the time to ask her brother about himself. how he had lived his life or which school he went. In the month she lived in that house she did not even try to get to know who Ewon was.
Really If you were in Ewon's shoes.... what would you have done?
Personally, I think that everybody can express their opinion and we have the right to agree or disagree. It's interesting to see other points of view and you obviously misunderstood mine because I never said Ewon couldn't happily live with Mookyul. Actually, I like their couple and I think one complete the other. They need each other but I think the author showed us enough proofs to see that Ewon is still in need of the acknowledgment of his family. At one point in the manwha, he even left Mookyul for that. That's why, I think he'll suffer from his decision not to see his sister anymore. When I said he abandoned his sister, you can see in my previous messages that I mentioned not in the financial aspect but the emotional one.
As for Nabin, we didn't see every scenes of this month they lived together so who can say she never asked questions about Ewon and his life? I don't think she's not interested in him. He's her brother and she obviously cares for him. But she's very young and she must be very troubled and lost because of her problems (her suicidal mother and the death of her father). I feel sorry for her.
Well, as we all can see Ewon has a black hole too, he need emotinal support too. Family isn't bound by blood, but by love. That's what Ewon gets from Mookyul. Nabin can't leave her mother, she loves her but Ewon obviusly can't live with his mother. Do you except Nabin would sent her mother to mental ward, then live with Mookyul Ewon. There's no way Mookyul will welcome Nabin to live with them with an open arm. If I were Ewon I would cut all the ties with a family that never loved me, so what if Nabin never abandoned him, she doesn't even know about her brother existence to begin with. Her existence alone piss me to death.
Ewon doesn't have to live with them. But he doesn't need to cut off contact. That's the point. I understand mookyul completes him. Laws knows I do. But he can have happiness and his sister. I feel like having to chose is what forced him to tear. Also I'm all for how be handle things with his mother BUt with nabin that's a whole different ball park. When they where in the hospital and she ask can she call him. He was silent . when she ask him could she visit. he was silent. That frustrated me. When she was calling after him as he walked off she wasn't angry or nothing . in fact I feel as if she handle it better then most children ,heck, even better then how some adults would have handle. She called after him and said I'll never forget you. With I feel like she accepted ewon choice but I feel as if it still ask to much if a young girl
Yes, you are definitely entitled to your opinion so is everyone. However, like I mentioned in my previous comment I wrote what I did because I did not like that you said that Ewon abandoned his sister when even you know that Ewon at one point actually left his lover and was prepared to give up his other half and stay with Nabin if it was necessary. He left his lover and said he did not want to do the same thing his mother did to him to Nabin. He said he did not want to turn out the same as that woman. However, he came to realize what he gave up was something equal to his life.
Let's look from your emotional aspect, yes, Ewon might suffer for not seeing his sister but he himself realizes the consequences of his decision. On the emotional level, Ewon can't live without Mookyul and Mookyul can't live without Ewon but can we say the same for Nabin. Can you really come out and say that on the emotional level that Nabin absolutely can't make it without Ewon? I know I can't.
Yes I feel sorry for Nabin but that's all. She is not in any way a pitiful or an unfortunate existence. She is just a smart and scared girl who lost a father she loved and is presently in an unfortunate circumstance.
First of all, they were not in the hospital when Nabin asked that question. they were in a house that Ewon probably paid for.
Second of all, yes, Ewon was silent, however he did not say that she could or could not call, text or visit him. So it really depends on how you interpret that that silence.
Lastly, Nabin is a smart girl and like you said she handled the situation better that most people would. However, this is what I think if she really wants to be a part of her brother's life, she should call, text and visit. it's not like he changed his number or moved, she know his contact info and even where Ewon lives.
So really who's move is it next? Will she let go like this or hang on to her brother?
For me, it's not a matter of Nabin, Ewon and Mookyul living all the year together, it wouldn't work. You're right: Nabin needs and loves her mother and Mookyul wouldn't accept Nabin living with them. But I think Mookyul should be more understanding about Nabin, also for Ewon who cares for his sister. And I think Ewon shouldn't cut all the ties with her. He can see her regularly without living with her. Both Ewon and Nabin need emotional support and loves each other. I can't understand the choice of the author to have introduced Nabin to us to write this ending.
Yes, I also totally agree with you. And I would like to see Nabin's story too. The actual ending of the manwha seems unfinished, in my opinion. The scene in which Nabin says she'll never forget her brother is like the scene with Ewon as a child telling Mookyul he would wait for him, and it was the start of their story (even if their relationship has evolved years after).
And, for me, neither Ewon nor Nabin would be satisfy to not see each other.
This story would also be a manner to see Ewon and Mookyul again and see their evolution. They're young adults, mature but sometimes irresponsible and impetuous but it's normal at their age. However, I'd like to see changes in their viewpoints and their states of mind due to the time passing by and the experiences they had.
The thing I can't understand is: why did Ewon have to make a choice between his sister and his lover? He could still live with Mookyul but meet his sister from time to time. Why can he see and go out with his friends but not his sister?
The life situation of Nabin seems awful to me: she's 14 and has just lost her father. She heard her suicidal mother say that she wanted to abandon her. And she's just discovered that she had a brother who, after a month, showed her that he doesn't want to see her anymore. Even if she's smart, she needs support, love and to be secured (like Ewon). So, I find it illogical that Nabin and Ewon won't also support and help each other. There's love between them too and it's not as if Ewon could forget Mookyul in a minute because of Nabin's presence. And nobody asks him that. It's not as if the human beings could only love one person! But their love are different and there's not one that is worth less than the other.
Okay, sure I understand your opinion. However, you said there is love between them, on what grounds do you make this assumption. To me all it looked like was that Ewon could not ignore or abandon his sister cos he feels a sense of responsibility to her. Let me remind you that this was a boy who went looking for his mother only to find that his little sister in his mother's arms. What Nabin feels towards Ewon is certainty not love but a form of dependence due to the fact that when she lost her father she happened to find her brother.
you also said Mookyul would not accept Nabin living with him and you are darn straight right. Let me remind you that Mookyul is actually way more screwed up than Ewon when it comes to family bonds. He had to survive growing up on the streets. I mean who would sleep with their adopted father. He has not let anyone into his heart except for Ewon.
You also said that Ewon and Nabin need to support each other. yeah, maybe you are right but this is what I believe. In other for someone to be an emotional support for another they need a certain level of compromise and understanding. However, in other for someone to understand another, they have to know where that person is coming from. Nabin has something Ewon would never have and that is a family. Do you know what that means? Just think about it. She's had her parents tell her happy birthday, good morning, goodnight. She's had good night kisses from her mother and father, she's been giving things Ewon never had and never will at least from his parents.
So even if you say they need to support each other it's Ewon that is going to be doing most of the supporting.
Yes, you are correct that humans can love more than one person however it takes two to tangle. Love goes two ways. Building the love between Ewon and Nabin is not going to be an easy fit. Like I said to Yoake if Nabin wants the love of her brother she has to work for it. She know where he lives and his contact info, if she really loves and wants to be a part of her brothers life go see your brother. But if she remains on the side lines and is only satisfied with her brothers memory then she should stay the fuc* away from Ewon. That's it.
Ewon was left with a hard decision...His lover or the family who had forsaken him. If it had been that simply I would've chose my lover but this is not the case. His little sister didn't know she even had a brother so she can't be faulted. But anyway she grew attached to him, and then she was told he wasn't going to be directly in her life ( ̄へ ̄)that a load of rubbish! She's 14 and is being left with a woman who has been proven to be an unfit mother and yet that's OK? Im sorry but I can't help but to worry about what kind of emotional trauma that child will have. Love the captivated series but really? an ending where logic is tossed aside for emotional reason is something I can't accept. But then again anything is possible in yaoi land (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
