How come no one is mentioning that CUTE AS HELL kiss on the cheek that Won gave Seju? It was just too adorable, and look at Seju’s expression in those panels ..that girl has gone so long without this kind of pure and simple affection that my heart melts whenever these moments happen. For e.g, first when Won asked her if she wanted to dip her feet in the pool and Seju cried and herself admitted ‘it’s been so long’ since she received such innocent kindness.. that really showed the extent of her loneliness and it really hit me then just how much love she had been deprived of. Then when we saw Won pull her closer in bed and they woke up cuddling, again we could see the impact all these expressions of love were having on Seju. Slowly, through all these actions Won was breaking through the barrier that Seju had put up as a self defense to prevent any more heartbreak & in part also due to the cycle of guilt she had been stuck in ever since Sumin’s 10 years of torture.
Anyway, what’s important is that in all of these moments, including the one in the latest chapter where Won kisses her on the cheek, we always see a vulnerable and slightly shocked Seju in response: her eyes slightly widen in disbelief and she’s rendered speechless (she also blushes at times due to Won’s boldness). In these scenes I really get to see Seju begin to heal from her past & it’s these small moments that really define the relationship between Seju & Won overall. What Seju so desperately needed was someone pure of heart and truly a ‘caretaker’, and she’s 100% found that in Won. And we also see how caring Seju can be in turn towards Won (when she took care of her piercing and aftercare and also was careful not to hurt her after her head injury, she was also sensitive of not hurting Won’s feelings after falling in the pool and seeing her cry).. It reminds me of a line she spoke in the main story: ‘Am I not allowed to love even one person the way I want to?’. (Something like that pls don’t quote me lol)
Well now we got to see the real Seju, who is finally able to express her love freely and without fear of rejection or any other drama. And it’s so obvious how much she cares about Won and wants to be with her no matter what, I mean girl literally wrapped up EVERYTHING in Seoul and decided to ‘stay for a very long time’ in Jeju just because she wanted to give this relationship with Won a solid chance. (It’s so funny how Won still did not understand that Seju came back to stay with her in this hotel that she’s also chosen to run now, and ended up asking her to employ her again lmao, i was literally like ‘did u not read the VERY EXPLICIT signs wonnie’)
I had a lot of other thoughts about this chapter (the second half) as well, but I was thinking of waiting until the final chapter next week (DEPRESSED as i type) to give my thoughts on how they come to a resolution at the beach scene. But especially since the story is about to end next week, i was hoping to hear what everyone else’s favorite Won/Seju moments were during ‘One’?
(It’s been great to read everyone else’s views on this week’s chapter too so thank you! x )
My favourite moment was when I thought this story was gonna actually have an interesting plot, and it got potentially revealed that Won was like a trained body guard lol Then the plot became rushed af so I checked out, wish this could get redone someday as a longer series. I feel it has seeds of good plot points in it but the execution hasn’t been good.
Like your details on Seju x Won. I'm dying when I saw the kiss Won gave on Seju's cheek, toooo sweet!!!! (hehe I too mentioned it earlier in my view for this chap :P)
haha Won still not getting the idea that Seju chose to stay in Jeju mainly for her too.. I guess it's either Won is too pure or too slow to notice the signs or Won holds her feelings because she thinks Seju still has strong feelings on Sumin??
My favourite Won/Seju moments : the kiss Won gave on Seju's cheek, every bear hugs Won gave to Seju (during the sleep / when Seju back to Jeju), Seju cares for Won's piercing, Seju's tease, ""You can hold me tight as much as you want to see me" awwww.. man there are too many!
oh.. and I like the development on how Seju call Won from Caretaker >> Do Won ssi >> Won ah- ah ah ah~ *censorship in my eyes* lol
anyway, I wish to see them open up their feelings towards each other next chapter.
wow, it’s amazing to see that so much love for OAL on here, even after such a long time!
i just wanted to say—everyone that wants to see ‘on a leash’ continued one day—i hope you can consider sending some love to the artist/author on their twitter so that they feel that people are still interested in seeing this story come back one day! their most recent post about OAL’s status was on Jan 8th 2020 and I’m linking it here:
https://mobile.twitter.com/agi_mung/status/1214096897327058944
the most recent update that I’ve linked above was posted with a rough sketch of red x luce and they wrote: “I’m drawing oal everyday and I’m sure I’ll finish it someday. I’m saying this because some people might misunderstand that we’re making an immediate comeback after I make this post, but I don’t think we’ll be able to make a comeback until after a while”.
so definitely there’s a lot more waiting patiently until OAL returns, but I thought it would be nice to give everyone a more detailed update so far and also urge you all, if you wish of course, to send some messages of support/love or to show an ongoing interest in the series, to the author [i’ve linked to their update post so you can reply to that tweet, but also directly tweet to the artist/author themselves if you’d prefer that! :) ]
anyways, everyone please stay safe, and let’s hope for a better rest of 2020 and an even better next year. x
