I know you guys are really impatient for the new chapters to be translated but I was hoping that y'all could wait a little bit more. I apologize for saying this but the unofficial ones are a mess. ( ･﹏･)
The author posted a Q&A chapter. I can't understand Korean though (^_^٥)
k
omg sorry, that was a typo! I meant so say 'check out lazulation on instagram! she translates a few things :D'
SPOILERS
Some people has translated it. Here are only a few highlights.
-The author was asked did Joowon had any past/other relationships. Author said Yes, It seems as though it wasn't reflected well in the webtoon, but Joowon has dated a lot of people he just doesn’t talk much about it. So this clears up the misconception that Haesoo was the only one dating other people.
- I wished to write a story that wouldn't be strange, regardless of the ending. There's no distinction between who are the main or sub characters. I wanted all three of them to be the main characters with their own circumstances.
-There are multiple endings that have been prepared. Right now, Author more or less settled on one of them.
-The fulfillment of love is important, but the reasons for a love being unfulfilled is important as well. Simply, love is important but also there’s a reason it sometimes isn’t enough.
- Author says most of the characters are easy to write with the exception of Haesoo, Taku is sometimes easy and sometimes difficult as well.
-She was asked who got more confessions in school? Joowon, his good looks appealed to the opposite sex.
-How did she come up with Taku’s design? She wanted someone foreign with long eyelashes and a pretty, blank face.
-Joowon motif: average Korean actor, Taku: exotic feel, long eyelashes, European youthfulness(?), Haesoo: face of a rabbit and cat, Leo is the funniest to draw, Taku’s hair is difficult to draw.
-Her fave chapter was 15, it’s the first time all the characters met indirectly.
-And Taku with his hair wet and straight, is a dream.
-They asked about Joowon’s original character design with all the tattoos, she said Joowon’s designed changed a lot and said he would have been very pretty with large colorful tattoos, but they don’t have a lot of time to work, so they had to free up space.
-Season 2 is back on August 24.
-Fools will be serialised on Lezhin in August as well, with some minor changes to the story (additional episodes etc)
Thank you! Ah, Aug 24 is still so far away TT
Some parts of the conservations (or even the pictures) are missing. Is there sething wrong with the uploaded pics or is it just my phone?
"a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought."
Some commenters here have said that Taku having prosopagnosia and only recognizing Haesoo's face is cliche. I admit that it's cheesy... but cliche? Has this been used a lot of times in other mangas for people to call it "cliche"?
I don't find it cheesy or cliche. I feel it adds to the story of why he stares are him and if you pay attention to the types of photos he takes, the faces is covered. But he wants to take a picture of Heasoo's face. I don't find it cheap/cheesy at all. I find it endearing.
I find it cheesy in a positive way lol.
That's why I don't understand why some people find it cheap and cliche.
I don’t read many bl stories so I am not sure about it, but my friend tells me she rarely see this syndrome in most of stories she reads (not only bl stories ╮(￣▽￣)╭
That's why I'm confused why people call it "cliche."
It's really UNIQUE right? I'm looking for stories with impairments like winter the wind blows (kdrama) or SIGN (with Yohan being mute!) And THIS IS GENIUS! To think it was foreseen in chapter 3 or 5? When Taku met Haesoo.. but we never knew! We just thought Taku was weird staring at him. THAT WAS COOL.
The characters and the readers found his staring odd when it was just him trying to memorize a face or something. Yeongha is a genius.
I hope the author will post a long-ish epilogue in the future. They ended it so vaguely TT
What do you all think caused it?
Is it congenital/present since birth? Or is it related to his uncle's sad story?
unless there was an accident, i don't think hid condition can be caused by trauma from what i heard. most likely he was born with it
I don't know the reason but I think it's genius of the author to create a photographer character with this disease . Even more sweet is how the author made the romantic connection from Taku to Haesoo linked to that... imagine being someone who sees everyone as the same because they can't distinguish their faces and suddenly spot someone who looks unique to you. This author's idea was so beautiful.
yas i agreee
From what I've found on Google it's usually more common from head trama or people who've had strokes and people with autism sometimes have a forms of face blindness. The part of your brain that can recognize faces is injured in some way. From the way the author presented taku's uncle's story but didnt tell us the story its safe to say something happened with the uncle an accident or something that caused taku's face blindness
I was thinking the same thing about the uncle.
Wait why can't I remember reading this??? Which chapter was this in?
It's not out in English yet. It's chapter 38
I read it somewhere.....hmm I think several times
Yep. Yeongha's mind is amazing
That's what I suspected too. Maybe his uncle saved him or something... that's why he treasures his uncle's lighter.
Well as the others said its not really trauma i guess it's just a condition.
I have it too so i kinda understand him, jeez it's so awkward. Maybe it's just my anxietys but i feel like they think im rude or something because i cant recognize them. It's not like.....everyone looks the same (he may have a more sever case of faceblindness) its just... i can't really distinguis them apart. It's really inconvinient.
I feel you Taku
While the author will be taking a break in preparation for season 2, will the Eng ttanslation of each chapter still be updated? Or will it also stop? ( ･﹏･)
I fucking hope so xd It'd be such a dick move if they pause it too xd
What the last chapter number for this season until season 2 isn’t it up to like 40 now
Yeah. We need something to tide us over (ToT)
Yep. If they will continue updating the English translations, we will still be able to read something for 5 weeks (a chapter per week), excluding next week's update.
I think they will continue updating the English translations till chapter 40 in Lezhin. Maybe that's why they have a hiatus. I hope ss2 will be back with 2 versions update at the same time (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I do hope so but I guess they needed time to translate it correctly.
I don't know if somebody have said this before... anyway.
-Haesoo will do the photoshoot w/ Taku and the atmosphere will be more intimate than his previous models. The photoshoot will become popular.
-Leo will notice and get jealous. ("I've been wanting Taku's d*ck for ages and this bish just swoops in outta nowhere and gets everything! How dare he????")
-Leo will dig for some dirt about Haesoo and somehow finds out about him and Jowoon (idk how he'll do this). Leo will be like, "Now I can bring down both of my most hated people. All according to keikaku." *insert evil grin*
-He will either blackmail Joowon (a la Dispatch style) or just outright expose it (like some k-netz). Chaos ensues.
I'm dying skskks
Are you trying to spite us? ( 一一)
