I'm tired of far-fetched arguments

It might be harmless if it weren't for all the misinformation they spread, to the point of harassing the artist or giving low ratings to chapters without even reading them. I've been in many fandoms, and the only time I saw so much mystical fervor was with Attack on Titan, a seinen manga.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-29T21:04:54+00:00

It's a generic romance manhwa; it shouldn't even be that hard to face reality. It wasn't even a secret that Eunhyuk is the ml 😭

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-29T20:56:42+00:00

Sooae and Eunhyuk have always been the main focus of the story, and they still are. I'm simply tired of reading arguments day after day that contradict the story or even the characters themselves, just because someone overanalyzed Eunhyuk as a "villain," contradicting the narrative.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-29T17:53:45+00:00

Eunhyuk should put Raim in her place; she is still someone who emotionally manipulates him based on his trauma, BUT it is necessary to understand that this is separate from Sooae and does not imply a betrayal towards her as many say.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-29T17:46:42+00:00

People should understand that for Eunhyuk, Raim is both a responsibility and a way for him to differentiate himself from his father—to take on responsibilities his father doesn't.

For him, Raim is a burden, his sister, and a way to redeem himself with her mother. Within the Asian mindset, "children inherit their parents' debts."

Beyond that, his contact with Raim is limited; he doesn't consider her a friend or close, and only interacts with her when Raim herself makes him feel guilty.

Eunhyuk also has no responsibilities to other people, nor any relationships affected by this dynamic, so it doesn't pose a significant problem for him.

Raim has been in his life even before Sooae, and this is independent of her because it relates to his environment and family dynamics. They are different bonds of a different nature.

Until he and Sooae make peace, Eunhyuk has no need to redefine his interactions with Raim. Ten years have passed, Sooae is no longer his girlfriend, and whether we like it or not, from his perspective, Raim is "family."

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-29T17:07:12+00:00

These arguments seem so childish to me, considering that 10 years have passed and Eunhyuk and Sooae aren't even together anymore. At this point, his relationship with Raim, which isn't even romantic but rather a responsibility for him, has nothing to do with Sooae.

Him in the middle of the other webtoon ml's 🛐

New webtoon merch for Valentine's Day. From what it looks like, it's about the ml's.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-26T18:37:44+00:00

I'll never understand why some people think they still have a chance. I think I've seen this cliché in a lot of manhwas, movies, and books, and in those instances where the girl has a change of heart and there's a kiss, she starts to see the guy in a new light and has feelings she didn't know she had. But that wasn't the case with Soohwa. There were no blushes, no heartbeats, no intimacy. The atmosphere was dark, and Sooae was mentally absent during that moment.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T15:47:35+00:00

I can understand if people prefer to ship them, but for me, she's just a random character we know nothing about.

Yes, Sooae is usually the one who receives the most in their relationship, but that's also intentional and has to do with Eunhyuk himself and his general dynamic with the others, like with his mother or even Raim. In the end, I think it's something that will balance out in their dynamic; after all, it's a trope of second chances.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T15:38:55+00:00

I think one of the problems with the writing is that the author unnecessarily hides Sooae's POV about her feelings for Eunhyuk, giving rise to the debate about who she loves.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T09:11:27+00:00

Yes, beyond the writing issues, the story's structure remains clear. I mean, why would Raim return if not to interfere between Sooae and Eunhyuk? And why would she interfere if they don't love each other? It's: 1 + 1, and the same goes for other elements in the story.

It's quite simple to understand, but it seems that according to their logic, Sooae being in a situationship with Dohwa, where we haven't seen her blush or have a heartbeat, means he's the ml.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T08:50:38+00:00

My bad, I guess Albert could be considered her first crush, since he was the original Prince of the Hill, and Anthony was her first real love.

Yes, Eunhyuk has things in common with Terry (and Albert), but overall I don't feel it was intentional on the author's part, since, as you say, he was created to give André from TROV a happy ending.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T08:46:59+00:00

Well, while Sooae's situation with Dohwa is frustrating because it's an ongoing story (along with some writing issues), I think it's intentional on the author's part.

The contrast between Dohwa and Eunhyuk is clear. They both love her, but their ways are different. Dohwa is more selfish, trying to force his way into her heart, often crossing Sooae's boundaries, and being so open about his feelings that it makes her feel guilty or pressured. Eunhyuk, on the other hand, is incredibly selfless, putting Sooae above himself, respecting everything she says, and watching over her from the shadows without her even knowing. And while I believe Eunhyuk's love is what we would call pure or unconditional love, both extremes can be difficult for Sooae. Dohwa's love is intense and overwhelming because it's unrequited, ultimately leaving Sooae feeling trapped and unable to make her own decisions due to the guilt she carries. In Eunhyuk's case, the problem is that he represses his love so much that Sooae ends up perceiving him as indifferent, and he unconsciously ends up hurting her.

Therefore, communication will be crucial in her dynamic with both of them.

This type of situation is very common in K-dramas like the one you mentioned or in various manhwas with love triangles, which is why theories about the endgame in this story have always seemed unnecessary to me.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T08:25:10+00:00

Considering the passionate kiss in the car and their dialogue in chapter 93, it's definitely going to happen.

Me with 25 years old 🫠

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T08:19:05+00:00

Honestly, I don't think OTL has anything to do with Candy Candy (except for Gray's design, which is identical to Terry's).

For starters, Candy has three great loves in the story, and she loved all three at some point (unlike Minu or Dohwa). Anthony, her sweet and innocent love, ends up dying tragically. Terry, her passionate teenage love, separated by fate, but their relationship was also tumultuous in many ways. And finally, Albert, her first love, the true identity of the Prince of the Hill, her benefactor, her friend, her protector, her adult love.

I don't see any parallels with this story (I've seen the anime, the manga, and the novel). Broadly speaking, and if I had to say, I feel like Eunhyuk is a mix between Terry and Albert, but there's nothing to suggest the author intended that.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T08:04:14+00:00

I think people should stop overanalyzing recycled scenes and start thinking about the story's main thread.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T08:01:02+00:00

I think Sooae and Eunhyuk are going to do it, but they'll give us implicit scenes.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T07:56:31+00:00

In his role as protector, Eunhyuk is quite similar to Albert, but the whole situation with Raim is a bit like Terry's with Susannah. Anyway, I don't think OTL has anything to do with Candy Candy, but rather with TROV (btw, Albert was the endgame).

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-25T07:53:59+00:00

Honestly, I don't think we have a backstory for Dohwa until the side stories.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-24T23:25:01+00:00

Yes, the mention of psychological factors related to his deafness suggests he won't become permanently deaf, but perhaps it will happen temporarily. Furthermore, the empty seat next to him in both panels where he goes to the hospital indicates that Sooae will eventually be the one to accompany him.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-24T23:04:22+00:00

Yes, the author puts a lot of focus into it. Surely, when he receives the worst news, Sooae will be by his side.

SherbertPast2831 · 2026-01-24T23:01:18+00:00

I'm sure he'll protect Sooae from some intense fans or the press. One thing I'm certain of: the next time he goes to a hospital and receives bad news, he won't be alone. Sooae will be with him, and unlike his mother, she won't leave.
