For me, I don’t pity him I just feel angry. Why couldn’t they show their love and concern for him back when he was the original Sihyeon? He died believing he was unloved and treated poorly by everyone around him. He loved the wrong person and couldn’t see or trust those who genuinely cared. He was so manipulated that he couldn’t open up, no matter how much he wanted to.
I know the members tried to help in their own way, but they never took the right actions. They knew he was desperate for money so what did they do? The pink-haired one even knew what was happening, yet what action did he take? To add on the member knew that sihyeon hated being touch and they couldn't find why that was so odd? So put pieces together? To Sihyeon, it felt like he didn’t belong in the group. He believed people hated him. His team members couldn’t truly understand him, and everyone around him seemed to hate him simply because they couldn’t understand his feelings.
There were people who cared for him in their own ways, but it’s still heartbreaking that he was so manipulated and consumed by self-hate that he couldn’t see his own worth especially when no one clearly showed him how good of a person he really was. And now that he’s gone, suddenly he’s showered with love, affection, and worry but it’s not even directed at the original Sihyeon. It’s for the mc. The fact that the MC realized this truth is what I admire about him, and it’s why I’m glad Daejun is the ML.
Yes, it’s hard to save someone who doesn’t want to be saved, but here’s the thing why wait until it’s too late? The members finally asked if he was okay, asked about his problems… but why couldn’t they do this before? Why did they only reach out after everything was already broken and gone?
Ugh I can't believe I'm crying for the third time about og sihyeon I'm just so sad about the og sihyeon like I wish he gotten the love and support he needed
nah I totally feel your rage, I had a rant about this in the earlier chapters and I've come to a thought that I'll just never like his bandmates no matter how much they try now. This is also why I absolutely despise the actor trying to cosy up to him now. I legit don't care that he gave og Sihyeon an out cause imo it wasn't enough. He knew exactly what kind of spider web he had fallen into and there was no way such flimsy help would have worked.
Imo the only one who truly helped even a little was the ceo, had him see a therapist and even tried to help his debt problem the minute he found out about it.
YESS! THIS! I FEEL REALLY SAD FOR OG SHIYEON HE DOESN'T DESERVE THE HATE! HE DESERVES LOVE. IMMA HUG HIM TIGHT
this is exactly it!!! its why i cant help but feel so icky every time everyone except daejun gives him affection
Wait why is it 8.8? This is actually so good and the story is unique. I dont get why the rating is so low?
If I had to guess, people probably aren't too fond of the art. Either that, or the story might be a bit confusing for them.
Man this shit is weird idgaf this need a psychological tag for how fuck up it is lol
PMG IM EXCITED! I LOVE THIS ARTIST!
the art looks familiar but did they do mangas before?
Yes! They are the one that made "Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko" and "Reikan Aru Youkya to Kowai Inkya"
Omg I can't believe Sakura from windbreaker became an idol lol
Should I read it now? Or should I wait until season 3 is done lol
wait until s3
FUCK ALL THESE BITCHES AND ALL THESE HOE OMFG FUCK EVERYONE IN THIS STORY MAY THEY ALL GO TO HELL
I better see a fucking chasing arc or else I'm dropping this shit. It has to be a good one 2
I LOVE THIS MANGA IDGAF! people always complain how “she’s still the same” or that “there’s no real chemistry" yet it been shown little by little. Her personality is still timid and she cries a lot but she strong in her own way. She explains this herself how although she’s empathetic and reserved, she can still stand her ground when it matters.
Somewhere along the way, we started hating FL characters like this because they don’t fit the “strong badass fl” which is a physically powerful, fearless, emotionally stoic heroine who never needs help. People claim they want a “strong FL,” yet bash anyone who isn’t bold and loud. But strength comes in many forms. There are countless traits that can define a strong female lead.
True diversity means representing all kinds of women: bold, timid, emotional, logical, nurturing, independent. Hating timid characters is basically gatekeeping what “acceptable” femininity looks like. You’re just creating another restrictive standard for how women should act. For example: “Women shouldn’t be weak or shy they should be bold and fearless.” That’s the same problem as before, limiting women to one personality type.
We as woman has so many conflict emotions and this manga portrays that beautifully. Not to mention they’re teenagers! Do you really expect teens to have perfect communication skills in a relationship? Especially Uka, who’s only just starting to come out of her shell. Kai isn’t perfect either as his past relationships weren’t great. The beauty of their relationship is that they’re trying. Their communication isn’t always verbal, but it’s there in their actions. And at the end of the day, they understand each other and that’s what matters
People saying this is “cringe” forget that it’s supposed to be like that, they’re in high school and still learning. Not to mention, this manga is old! All the characters are different, which is the point: people have different personalities and struggles. The doubts they feel because of outside opinions, and their effort to communicate despite insecurities, show how raw and imperfect they are and that’s what makes it real.
As a hardcore shoujo girly, this is one of my favorites bc it's so old school. It’s exactly what I used to read in middle school, daydreaming, “This will happen to me when I get to high school.” Shoujo was created to comfort young girls even if it’s a little cringe sometimes. It was specifically targeted at school aged girls and was never just about romance. It’s about personal growth, friendship, and hope. Despite the cringe factor, we loved it and that’s the magic of classic shoujo.
Sorry for this long rant but I absolutely adore my old cringe classic shoujo coming from a girl who just graduated!
That the best comment i saw this year i understand tou so much. When its the real life they say we can be introver and timid but when it's fiction we can.
She is strong but at her own away. How can you say she is still the same when she was been bullied by so much time.
yes to all of this!! her character development has been amazing to see, and i admire her quiet strength so much! uka defender for life!
PREACH !!!!!! ┗( T﹏T )┛
UGH HER AND THE GANGSTER SHOULD HAD BEEN A THING BRO LIKE HE REALLY DID LOVE HER AND WOULD GOTTEN HER REVENGE
