IM SO SAD IT'S OVER THIS IS MY FAVE MANHWA ╥﹏╥ Jaerim is literally so amazing as a character??? like this story has so much realism, dimension and development and its due to the amazing detail in these characters espECIALLY JAERIM HOLY FUCK. like he's just so sweet but can also be a straight up savage and he has such a strong sense of justice that makes him just incredibly likable and really makes you want to follow him and trust him. and then Yuri is a complete disaster behind his friendly, popular and beautiful (though a little rude) face, and the two of them are just so real and wonderful ugh I'm gonna re-read this 200 times
on this episode of "gender roles that make no sense": liking sweet food...for some reason
And I can't find any information regarding Japanese men eating sweet food on the net. I don't like get caught up in what many consider "traditional gender roles," (my 18 yo daughter says, "Who assigned a vagina to the color pink anyway"), but probably in Japan meat is considered manly and sweet is considered feminine, though I think they make it more of an issue in manga. I think that it's mostly in the minds of Japanese female mangaka as a way to spice up plot, that men eating sweet foods is an affront to their manliness, just like turning down a confession deserves a slap in the face.
I don't get the gendered sweets thing either. If I had to guess it may have something to do with traditional Japanese sweets not being sweet like Western sweets are, so maybe it's rooted in the traditional versus foreign difference?
Fun fact for your daughter prior to about 1910 or 20 it was the other way around -- light blue was for girls and pink for boys.
Haha, yeah, and in the history of high heels, they were worn by cavalry men to keep their feet in stirrups, also worn almost exclusively by European noblemen until they finally got sick of the lower classes trying to imitate them, and more reasons that had nothing to do with women. That being said, Japanese cakes and ice creams are about half as sweet as they are here. Totally yummy. Can eat a lot without getting sick of the sweetness. T
i know everyone's saying they hate the blonde guy and i agree, he is kind of a total ass. but like... Aerak is pretty fucked up too? He's kinda straight up crazy and I feel like the two of them are good for eachother because they're both kind of horrible lol.
Lol completely agree. Actually I think neither one of them is better from each other. They make a good horribly cute couple. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I just think people shouldn't hate him for his mistakes anymore ya know. Give the dude a chance. Everyone in this story fucked up badly but they got a chance to redeem themselves so ( ´Д`)y━・~~ not gold bar prince over here. It's fine if you dislike him for his personality tho lol. Not everyone likes a narcissist, that's fine
