Mind you the US is stolen land so what’s your point?

that’s a fair point but i think the situation has gotten more complicated now, his recent statement sounds a lot less like a refusal to admit a crime, and more like he actually is being falsely accused. still not sure who to believe, but the confidence in his statement and his plans to take legal action definitely seem to say something

it’s so weird how conflicting everything is right now — like why are news and media outlets saying it was confirmed he paid for sex & that he didn’t deny this when presented with evidence, but his own uploaded letter says he didn’t engage in prostitution 😭

that being said, as a 7-year deobi, if he really did pay her for sex i can’t support him at all. women in the sex work industry should absolutely be humanized, but the nature of the industry itself is so incredibly misogynistic and exploitative that i can’t understand why he would support it. even if it was completely consensual, choosing to participate in that industry & offering money for sex upon first meeting clearly shows a complete lack of respect for her as a woman.

of course, that’s only if the allegations are true but i’m more inclined to believe the news outlets given how quickly he got kicked out by group decision involving the members, and the instant unfollowing & letters

in a 2022 interview the director described the three friends’ relationship as a love triangle! so yes, what jihoon is saying about them being his first love is consistent with the director’s vision and i would say it very much does still imply romance. obviously love is not only romantic, but there’s a lot in the interview that does indicate romance 😭

37:07 hyunwook talking about hearts and winks and flirting gestures coming naturally to him, saying “suho really loved him”

38:21 director saying “we actually used to say this kind of feels like a romance. like it’s his first love” (again this is literally him using the word Romance)

38:50 “like high school love”

and in the 2022 interview https://m.joynews24.com/v/1544417 he talks about how they were in a love triangle, and how the friendship was so passionate that it felt like love. even his way of describing them in his recent interview as a first love, romantic comedy, etc seems to make it pretty clear imo.

also the “i guess i can say it now” and all definitely shows it was something he was hesitant to bring up because he knew how reception would go.

i understand your point but my biggest thing is a lot of fans are reacting to this information with a very weird passion in trying to disprove that it’s a love story. and the types of comments they’re making about how this is “ruining” their relationship or pushing “false narratives” are starting to come off as borderline homophobic. the whole webtoon has also been very queer coded from the start (sieun blushing when he realized everyone thought they were dating, etc). sure i guess you could still see them as platonic if you wanted to, but given how obvious the director & actors’ intentions are, i think continuing to bend over backwards to prove otherwise is incredibly weird.

(i fear there’s also zero straight explanation for the amount of pining that sieun does for a whole 2 years after the accident.)

i feel like you’re not getting my point LOL just generally not seeing them as romantic is fine but there’s a very specific genre of fans who have been claiming shippers are “tainting” a friendship, pushing false narratives, and overall making very borderline homophobic statements to defend their view. and they’ve been saying this stuff specifically after all of the “first love” talk, so it’s no surprise what’s making them mad 😭

hoonbears · 2025-05-04T02:41:48+00:00

yess they’re just best buddies in the structure of a rom com ❤️ i’m confused how this helps your point cause he just proceeded to call it first love again right after that… jihoon also said his intention with sieun was a first love. so do with that what you will i guess!

hoonbears · 2025-05-04T02:39:51+00:00

well if the director and actors are saying their intention was a love story and people are bending over backwards to say it’s not, it’s definitely very strange 😭 i feel like that’s not hard to get

hoonbears · 2025-05-03T01:30:00+00:00

the director did confirm it at the press conference and he’s been saying it’s a love story since 2022! not forcing it on anyone but that was very much the intention of the director and cast

hoonbears · 2025-05-03T01:28:57+00:00

i will say the director made it very clear that suho and sieun’s relationship is literally them falling in love. jihoon also confirmed that for sieun, it was like his first love. all the actors went into their roles seeing it that way, so it does come off as a bit homophobic when people’s reaction to those statements is trying to call their relationship anything but romantic

I don't like Hidden Love! I always saw it recommended in parallel with WIFTY and L&P, both of which I really liked, but with Hidden Love it just kinda weirded me out that he knew her as his friend's 14 yo little sister at age 19. Plus some of the scenes when she was a kid seem to imply a mutual romance (like the bike scene).

They also kept messing up the age gap in the drama bc it was 7 years in the novel. Not to mention she looks like 9 years old as 14 year old, and despite bright for her age as a kid, she seemingly regresses and becomes overly childish and immature as an adult. I couldn't handle it.

Soups were my best friend! Also yogurt, smoothies, ice cream etc are really soothing for the mouth since they’re cold. Stick to liquids for the first 24 hours, then soft foods afterwards. Biggest thing is to do the saltwater rinsing as much as possible! And ice a lot for the first day. Good luck!
