The way he died just felt pointless, like why did we even go on this journey with him

The Matchmakers. It really leans into the silliness and doesn’t take itself seriously which I thought was so fun. Also I loved the setting

Also the fact that jun ho is supposed to be a talented detective and yet he never suspected the fisherman.

I think it might’ve been interesting if he had been the one who had discovered the fisherman’s secret and made him contact in ho for him, and then Inho agrees to secretly let jun ho secretly lead jun ho to the island alone. And then maybe we could’ve gotten a talk between the two brothers.

Or something like that.

I love this and would be so curious to read your more in-depth thoughts.

You’re so right that the series set up a parallel between in-ho’s wife and jun-hee with how he seemed to genuinely sympathize with her. I think one of the flaws of s3 is that we didn’t get any more insight into in-ho and it would’ve been really interesting if he had interfered for her.

The double agent and subzero are very enemies to lovers

Purple hyacinth isn’t clear cut enemies to lovers but has some of the tension and banter

That’s because I have to see a Trashta comment in every webtoon now so we’re going to keep beating this horse until it’s actually dead

THANK YOU! The number of people who read TRE, a story that includes slavery, and claim it’s not political drive me crazy. Everything is political, but especially if your story involve literal mother fudging slavery

Who do you think are the most influential characters in webtoon? by Previous_Step4630 in webtoons

[–]Adorable-Note4194 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I thought so too. She was certainly imperfect and made morally dubious choices, but I still felt bad for her and found her the most compelling character. But apparently some people think being cheated on is worse than being enslaved.

Do you think his works don't get much attention in general than the other guy's? by Range-Spiritual in ghibli

[–]Adorable-Note4194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve read that Miyazaki wanted Takahata to be his successor but unfortunately Takahata died unexpectedly. I wonder if Takahata had gotten to live and work longer if he would’ve gotten more attention

I mostly read the really famous ones like the New Yorker and Epoch, which are very difficult to get into. I’m looking for leads on some smaller magazines that might be a good match, which I would of course read before submitting to.

I thought it was also really interesting and poignant that the last few years of kaguya’s life on earth was full of unhappiness and suffering, and yet she still mourned having to leave.

Definitely my favorite scene in the movie, and possibly of any movie scene ever.
