Ihyeon's ex is a narcissistic manipulator, and afaik no one else knows aside from Chanwoo that the ex is making moves on her.
She's been outcasted because of her ex, and it seemed like no one else was by her side to tell her that none of it was her fault and she was completely broken, which is why she's still so traumatized. She's extremely sensitive of other people's emotions because her ex manipulated her into becoming that way, just look back at the flashbacks when they were still dating. This seems to be the reason why she still can't outright refuse her ex's favor now, because she's a pushover and he's still manipulating her (push and pull)
Healing isn't instantaneous, it looks like it will definitely take time with Ihyeon who seemed to be alone this entire time. Sometimes, you just need another person to knock some sense into you.
Right now, Chanwoo is exactly that person. He's trying to build her confidence, first instance is telling her she can take the lead in their fake relationship, and then second when he tells her he wouldn't go with to the outing if she says so (but she sadly declined). Ihyeon they could never make me hate you
You are totally right. They are deep characters. There's also so many people hating on Chanwoo just because of what he likes to do. But he is being such a trustful person. I love both of them.
Yes, thank you! Clearly her ex had spent so much time tearing down her self esteem to the point where even having logical emotions, like being upset about something is blown out of proportion and called "overreacting", it makes someone hyper aware of how they're being perceived and so much more complacent because you don't want to seem "crazy" even if they're valid emotions.
Reading comprehension isn't dead! I agree with everything you said. To add, even if he's a playboy I don't think he's necessarily trash.
Sure he pushes her boundaries a bit, but even as a playboy he seems to do it consensually and doesn't need underhanded methods to get with these girls and keep them hooked. He's transparent about it all
When the character designs are so good but its pornhwa
The crown prince did not suffer as much as he should've. Like I wish we could've seen how Helena lives her life as an Empress, and perhaps seeing Alec suffer because of her sudden change.
Also, Helena x Eris is doomed yuri argue with the wall !
"Can you dumb it down for me?" ugh he's so pathetically cute
Woah woah everyone was loving the pacing and was enjoying the yearning, yet a lot had escalated in one single chapter. Like wym Eunsan just melts into Ian while he jorks him as if it was no big deal...
They're so soft and cute. It's just starting but I feel like this story will be a comfort read and something I'd reread when I'm feeling down
Man, I know it'll happen eventually but I'm so not ready for it. Taesun is going to be so broken when his granpa dies. I just want some weird magic to happen so that he'll get younger or smth lol
