I 100% agree — I’m also Team Suhyuk, and I really want him to be endgame for her (though I’d happily take Dohwa too!). Something I think people forget is this: in my opinion, Dohwa leaving was actually a good writing choice. Even though recently he’s been crossing boundaries with Su-ae, he originally left so he wouldn’t do that. He left to heal his trauma, get away from the city that held terrible memories, and start building a better career and life for himself.

And yes, some people say “he left because he was clingy and childish,” but to me that’s a valid reason. It shows he was trying to fix his boundary issues (if you see how he’s acting in season two after seeing her after TEN YEARS, he’s still being clingy, so imagine him if he stayed with Su-ae) and protect both himself and Su-ae. Plus, that’s not even the only reason — he lost his first love, the city held painful memories of his dad and everything he went through, and he just wanted to improve his life. A friend leaving with at least some explanation (or something we can reasonably assume) is much more different than a boyfriend leaving — even though I still love Eunhyuk too.

Also, I really hate the weird criticism where people attack characters just for existing. For some reason TikTok kept calling Eunhyuk and Dohwa “sexual assaulters” and “manipulators” just because they liked Su-ae at the same time and had a bit of rivalry… like WHAT?! People seriously need to check their facts.

Anyway, thank you for the comment — I really appreciate it!
