I absolutely love this chapter. Just goes to show the different ways eun and myeong love each other.
Eun shows his unconditional love for her by doing everything for what he thinks is objectively best for her.
He utterly and completely give himself to her, sp that she is able to overcome her emptiness but also to overcome him (eun) and thus achieve even better.
Which means, that when he saw that the director would be able to help myeong achieve even better, he (eun) would never be in their way even though that would mean that myeong may fall in love with the director.
Myeong on the other hand understands his way of thinking but feels as if he is abandoning her which is why she is angry.
Because for her love itself from eun is the only thing that fullfills her not the success she would achieve through the director.
For her him stepping back isn’t something helpful or a noble act but only something that hurts her. But in the end this chapter / incident makes her realize how much she loves him and needs him, something eun didn’t necessarily realize beforehand.
He only viewed himself as something replaceable for myeong.
God this is so fucking boring. Everything about fl is boring. She doesn’t have any significant character traits and it’s the same cliche story line as always: poor innocent hardworking girl becomes poor and needs to provide for her family / rich powerful ml saves her / she falls in love with ml and tries her best for him.
Yeah. For me, stories like this feel increasingly defeatist because they reduce the resourcefulness of the fl to a mere plot point. It's become the modern equivalent of the Cinderella story. And that makes it worse because unlike Cinderella struggling in the medieval world, the modern world offers so many more opportunities and resources.
Authors could innovate and add so much into these stories without taking their readers back into the 90s.
Y’all need to realize that she isn’t delusional. She’s actually psychotic. Be careful in front of those kinda of people irl as well!
