Mm, I was hyped since this is the first fl I've seen with a darker skin tone in these types of stories... and then they made her a hairy beast..
I mean Korea is a very homogenous country, and not a lot of people are dark. I mean my dad's dark, but like, he goes outside literally every single day for hours and hours. He's the only one in his family who isn't "white," in their skin tone. It's really nice to see more darker characters though, even if just tan. She's so pretty too, our FL looks so radiant.
Yeeeaaa, imma just take the little wins where I can get em
Yesssss!! There are very few deeper colored manhwa/hua/ga characters & even when there are the color is always pasty/ashy (not to mention the stereotypes they perpetuate). I’m really excited to see where this goes (•ᴗ•)و
i mean its like when people humanize animal crossing charcaters, and they make tom nook brown despite him being a japanese animal, so they should have made him ainu or japanese. i feel like they made her skin match more the color of her hair? not it being some like racist thing.
The FL for this is likeable and I'm curious to see how the story goes but rather than it being racist, it sets a tone. More like someone once mentioned how more cartoons with dark skin characters were turned into animals than not, like with the emperors new groove, brother bear and the princess and the frog.
So, honestly seeing a rare darker skin character portrayed as a violent, hairy beast with that kind of realization and mindset is just unsettling.
It’s weird I’ve noticed how the FL almost always has the same or lighter skin tone then the ML (which is a trope I think should die) but I’m so glad this story doesn’t do that
