she actually went for the gut punch with jooah asking if their friendship even mean anything to her before the boy problem happened....i can tell shes a girls girl. shes so damn cool like im sorry kyungmo or yoonsik but theres actually a line for taerins hand
but i cant hate the wife. and i cant blame FL either. theyre just women making do with what limited power life has given them. wishful thinking theyd be amicable in this lifetime but even if they arent, i dont want the wife to take up a tragic ending in FL's place
her brother raped her l and they had to marry???? thats the summary??????????????????
she has the same "saving the world with the power of friendship" thing with naruto BUT shes a nurtured narcissist and everybody especially her mother enabled and encouraged her narcissism. shes not malicious or evil, shes just extremely narcissistic in the nicest-intention way possible if thats even a thing. yeongwoong was right, she didnt even know her but she forced her friendship and affection for her while at the same time not even bothering to compute that the yeongwoongs life doesnt revolve around being her friend.
ultracharismatic MC with pure mindset and 'love cures all' beliefs are so common and very shounen but this is the first time i see this in a girl, and with a twist of a brushed off narcissism. for something so short and random, this packs a heavy punch
miyoshi (FL) suffers from main character syndrome and he sees kouki as the same main character in a world full of npcs like her husband. shes bad for cheating, obviously, but it also took her cheating problem to see that her husband has serious self esteem problem and that she would be repulsed by it instead of being sympathetic about it. their marriage is already doomed, i understand her frustation of her husband clinging to it when theres already nothing to it, the cheating was just a trigger.
on the other side, Reika (ML wife) is the complete opposite. she has everything under her control. main character, npc, etc those archetypes dont matter to her because shes the master of her story, even if shes not her own main character.
i think the main characters arent exactly kouki (cheating ML) and miyoshi, but its miyoshi and reika. two women on the opposite side of the spectrum.
