I'm totally okay with Taewon being the ultimate choice, but I can't help feeling that it seems a bit contrived. Normally, we expect these stories to follow a predictable path, which is completely fine but this time feels a bit different. Even though Taewon made a big move by signing a restrictive contract with Mr. Kim for both him and Yusung to debut together, it still doesn't fully sell me on his love for Yusung. We're often told about his feelings, but I haven't seen enough moments that truly show it. It's not that I question his feelings; it's just that, compared to Yusung's dynamics with other characters, Taewon's emotions seem more narrated than demonstrated. There's a lack of buildup. Consider this: each time Yusung returned to the past, the version of him that Taewon supposedly had already fallen for is the timid and more of a collegue than a friend version, who he hardly have any real and genuine conversations with. So, it's a bit surprising to see Taewon making such a grand gesture for Yusung. Again, I am fine with this direction, however I would probably need more moments to be fully convinced that this was the best choice.
Ah, the sweet sound of hypocrisy! Complaining about the age gap yet you've gobbled down every page of this manhua. Could the irony be any richer? Maybe it's time to put a lid on it.
the fact that there are A LOT of good stories with kinda questionable age gap and we all eat it up because either the art style is good or the plot is too good to pass it up. People should really realize that this is fiction and just because you enjoyed it doesn't mean you like that irl.
Exactly, we're talking about fiction here. Yet, somehow, it's like a magnet for these morality police who can't seem to stay away from the very content they claim to hate, lol. It's beyond infuriating. Sure, stand by your principles, but understand that fiction is our sandbox for the taboo, a safe space to question and defy the norms without actually doing it. They should imposing it on others, especially when they can't keep it themselves. I'm sick of their hypocrisy. It's like they thrive on this nonsense. Lol
STOP**
This is precisely why I rate this webtoon a perfect 10/10. Haha, the author managed to craft a masterpiece from a trope that was cliché, overused, and exhausted.
I might be a bit late to the conversation, but I've got some thoughts to share. Did anyone else catch the sudden shift in In Seob's character and resolve right at the start of Chapter 27? I've stumbled upon quite a bit of flak directed at him, labeling him a cry-baby, weak, and lacking in self-respect. But honestly, none of that criticism seemed fair to me—until Chapter 27. It's like he wasn't even the same person who was introduced to us. Sure, one could argue his feelings eventually got the better of him, but wow, he just crumbled into a complete damsel in distress. It's both baffling and a bit exasperating, especially considering how strong he appeared before.
Now, onto Wooyeon:
Having dived into my fair share of wild webtoons, I'm usually unfazed by toxic characters or plotlines. But Wooyeon? He just gets under my skin in a way I can't shake off. And don't even get me started on that Jinx guy—who was a handful in his own right—but Wooyeon irks me more for some reason.
That said, I've got to tip my hat to the artist for the makeover they gave Wooyeon's character design. He's now the handsome character everyone's been raving about, a train I couldn't quite ride with in the earlier chapters.
Reaaal it's like he surprises me with how incredibly unbelievable he is. Atleast other toxic MLs have potential to end up with the MC. Wooyeon doesn't even see Choi as human. I'd literally have to do some mental gymnastics to find atleast one redeeming quality that doesn't label him as a psychopath.
