“I know what it feels like to have a different life than others. And wanting to live a normal life like others. Being gay in this small village will be difficult because you will be living a different life than others. (And you may one day wish that weren’t the case.)” That’s her reasoning.
Now. Characters DO NOT have to have perfect reasoning or even good reasoning behind what they do. They are flawed beings. Which makes a story more nuanced and complex. You don’t have to agree with the character but missing the point entirely is embarrassing. Read between the lines— though this was pretty obvious.
I said what I said. I’ll take no further arguments. Especially with the people who just want to hate this character. Also she said she’d fix her actions. Acceptance and support do not have to be apart of her amending her initial meddling

Ya’ll hating on someone who was brought up in a society where homosexuality gets you ostracized or worse. The fact she’s not blabbing to everyone and is in her own (misguided) way, trying to help shows she’s actually really kind. And is already reflecting on the fact that her help is likely unwanted.
I don’t know how this situation will develop but the fact she brought up what she saw instead of beating around the bush shows she’s actually a really honest person.
There are varying levels to homophobia. This is barely there. Cause she legitimately cares about him and is worried. She’s going about it the wrong way but she also hasn’t experienced the world outside of her community in KOREA. You know, a country that is pretty anti-lgbt like all Asian countries are.
Edit: my country criminalizes “sodomy” and “trans expression”. There are no LGBT protections at all. Korea isn’t that extreme— though same sex-sex in the military is apparently criminal. SO. Think about it.

Mhm. Aside from full on acceptance. This is the best case scenario they have.
She’s young and seems like the kind of person who will eventually understand. She might not accept it initially but growth takes time and that’s okay.
Hell, in my home country, barely tolerating the existence of lgbt is already seen as being overly progressive. Or just something people don’t acknowledge.

Wdym? She saw them kissing, she knows what that means. She tried to convince herself that it was nothing between them. Then she decides that it best for Kwon to found a wife and she sign him up for a blind date. Can you tell me if it's not a denial then what is? You said she is kind? Kind or being nosy? Because why is she doing something unnecessarily. What if Kwon was not gay and with Ho, he just decides that he doesn't want to have a wife? Again. Unnecessary doing something that she need to. Kwon didn't asked for it.

If that's what happened, then it's okay. But she sign him up for a blind date, she wants to find a wife for him. Did he asked for it? No. Why did she think she need to do that for? Cuz she panicked and in denial. She found out the person she admired the most are kissing guy. So it's better for her to found him a wife lol

I feel like my overall point has been missed.
Tl;dr she’s misguided but isn’t doing anything maliciously. Consider her culture/country and why she may think to intervene in the life of someone she cares about.
“Being nosy” “doing unnecessary shit”. Idk what your life experience has been like but the people in my life (I would hope) would consider an intervention if I was doing something that they thought would ruin my life. Whether I agree with them or not, I know they do it out of love and not malice. And then we can talk it out— which I’m assuming is what will happen in the next chapter and then some learning can be done.

uUUUUUH BUT DONT QUIT YOUR JOB???
If you have to quit making money to support yourself because your partner has worse attachment issues than a puppy you they need help. Not someone who coddles them?? Also that’s not going to help anyone in the long run????

Alright. As an amateur swimmer, don’t throw away your own life raft to save a drowning man. Get a lifeguard or else you’ll both end up drowning.
Getting rid of your means of supporting yourself and your partner (because in most situations like this, the partner would be too depressed to function in a normal job) is only going to kneecap both of you.
You could run through your savings, taking care of them. But without getting them proper help, eventually the money will run out. They won’t get better, and now both sides become resentful as they spiral into poverty, eventually breaking up because the relationship becomes toxic. The only way to help someone this depressed, is to get them
p r o f e s s i o n a l help. Medication. Anything. A concerned and loving partner is unfortunately never enough.
Of course this is a story that’s not a tragedy so it will work out. But please never think the power of love will pull someone out of their depressive state. It didn’t for my family.

Bros bros all of your points are vaild, I agree! But, I'm pretty sure they both have enough savings to support themselves for a while. One is a famous writer and another is a freelance editor. They should be secure financially lmao (I hope?)
Also, professional help and proper medication is the way to go to help someone heal, I also agree! But, support should always start from home. It's the first step! Sometimes the support of the people you live with becomes the main reason if you even seek help in the first place.
Coming from someone who struggles with mental health, my family's support love and understanding has been the number one reason I manage day to day. And ofc therapy and meds.

People need to understand what “grooming” actually is. Because it’s being thrown around a bit too lightly and we all need to be more educated about it…. Grooming is done with the INTENTION to build trust with a child with the intention to use, manipulate, exploit. Typically in a sexual manner.
Assuming: the FL raising a child who never saw her as a parent, and eventually falls for her which she never intended or wanted to happen (and is shocked by it). Not grooming. Just socially inappropriate. If she declines the advances in his adulthood and he continues to persist, now that falls into him being the aggressor.
Now if she is going to raise him to then use him to fight against the church, then yeah that’s grooming. Because of the intention to use/manipulate him. But I think people don’t really consider that THAT big of a problem especially in revenge stories— we’re just icked by him falling for her as an adult because of their close relationship during childhood. But please note that intention is always important)
So is Jigu gonna drag him into his apartment out of jealousy, make a move, and make the misunderstanding a hundred times worse?
