I called their thinking shallow because they're reducing Eunhyuk and his defenders to the most surface-level interpretation possible. They're literally saying 'whatever reason Eunhyuk has, it's not valid', so they're pre-emptively dismissing any context or explanation before even considering it. Then they claim people only defend him because 'they find him handsome or hate the other characters.' They're just making up motivations for people instead of actually trying to engage with what they're saying. It's easier to dismiss everyone as superficial than to actually listen to their arguments, especially when you already dislike the character.
Eunhyuk was a green flag for over 100 chapters. He was kind, supportive, and genuinely cared for Su-ae. The decade gap is a writing choice the author made to drag out drama, and a lot of us see it as character assassination, not who Eunhyuk actually is as a character. When I’m ‘defending’ him, I'm not excusing his ghosting, as is the case for I’d say most people with a brain. I'm frustrated with how the author handled his character. I'm defending the character I adored for 100+ chapters before the writing went downhill. OP’s thought process is shallow because they're taking one controversial plot point and using it to erase everything that came before, while dismissing everyone who disagrees as either superficial or having no self-respect. You can dislike where the story went with Eunhyuk, that's completely valid. You can dislike him. I don’t care. But personally attacking people who still like him and making assumptions about why is unnecessary and way too aggressive for a discussion about a manwha.
And also, to you two who responded to me. Shy are you being condescending instead of actually responding to what I said? If you disagree with me calling their thinking shallow, then explain why. Otherwise you're just being rude for no reason. I wasn't trying to be rude with my original comment, I just didn't have a better way to phrase it. But there's no need to start being aggressive and condescending. These fan wars are ridiculous. We can have different opinions about characters without mocking each other. It gets nobody anywhere.
Are you serious right now? Did you even read the thread? I'm not 'tweaking over someone's opinion on a fictional character.' The original comment said people who like Eunhyuk have ‘no self-respect’ and only like him because he's hot. That's not an ‘opinion’ about a character, that's insulting REAL PEOPLE for their preferences in a manwha. You’re describing OP. Not me. I have not personally attacked someone because they a different 2D character than me. Because as you said, it’s not that deep.
Y'all just want a reason to be hostile and condescending to anyone who doesn't agree with you. I wasn't rude to any of you, I made a point, it was misunderstood, so I explained myself further. But apparently that's too much as well. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. You mock me for not explaining, then when I do explain, you mock me for writing too much. You attack people's self-respect over a character preference, but when someone responds, suddenly they're the one overreacting? I've never seen people so hostile over a manhwa unprovoked. This is ridiculous.
Honestly if the author still intends to make Eunhyuk the ending goal that'd just be bad writting at this point.
Because, ok let's act like there could be a valid reason in the world that'd be so big he couldn't even call or text her for a whole ass decade (I obvisiouly don't believe it but let's play ball), that would still not excuse nor explain why he'd act all nonchalant like nothing happened.
Like if he was scared for her safety which made him unable to neither call or text or even explain now that they're meeting again, then he would have avoided her, tried to ignore her as best as he could to keep up the appearences, but clearly nothing is threatening them right now since he keeps playing with her, approaching her like an old friend who just lost contact.
Exactly!! Couldn’t agree with you more “whatever reason Eunhyeok has, it’s not valid” ok so if Haru told Eunhyeok to leave Korea and not contact Sooae cause if he does, he’ll kill her.. Would that not be a valid reason?? Like.. Idk what is up with some peoples thought process. We literally don’t know what Eunhyeok’s reasons are, I don’t know how people can so confidently say his reasons aren’t valid..
Holy shit. Who do you think you are?? Judging someone else's opinion on a manwha to defend a man who isn't even fucking real is either another level of insanity or autism. So based off of what I've read, you only like him because you're stuck in the past 100+ chapters, and hate how the author writes him now because he simply changed over the past 10 years?? Sure, the author's writing couldv'e gone downhill, but that doesn't change the fact that all people change overtime?? Like the Eunhyuk in the past would've never puffed smoke in Sooae's face like he does now, but that's who he has become. "These fan wars are ridiculous", "It gets nobody anywhere," Dude you CHOSE to insult the OP's opinion, and even if you didn't mean it like that, you could've just not said anything? Atp, you're embarrassing yourself for being a hypocrite.
‘Who do you think you are?' Lol what. Who do YOU think you are? First off, bringing autism into this as an insult? Really? That's where we're going now? Second, you clearly didn't understand my point at all. I'm not 'stuck in the past chapters,’ I'm saying the author made a writing choice that felt like character assassination to many readers. Yes, people change over time, but this is FICTION. Authors make deliberate choices about their characters. I'm allowed to be critical of those choices and still defend the character I like. Another thing that you are COMPLETELY missing or ignoring is that I'm not 'judging someone's opinion on a manhwa.' Can you read? I called their thinking shallow because they said Eunhyuk defenders have NO SELF-RESPECT and only like him because he's hot. That's not an opinion on Eunhyuk, the character, that's an insult to REAL PEOPLE. Who are NOT CHARACTERS in a MANWHA. Putting it in caps so you can clearly understand. I responded to the insulting part, not their character preference. If you think calling out an insult makes me a hypocrite, then I don't know what to tell you. Now you're here being even more aggressive and throwing around ableist insults. The actual ‘insanity’ is being this disgusting and ableist over a manhwa. Just because you like Dohwa and I like Eunhyuk doesn't give you the right to be a bigot. If anyone's embarrassing themselves here, it's you.
And I just have to add. The irony of you asking 'who do you think you are' to judge someone's opinion while you're literally calling them insane and using autism as an insult is absolutely wild. You're accusing me of being judgmental and a hypocrite while being ten times more aggressive, hostile, and ableist than anything I said. You're doing exactly what you're mad at me for, except worse. At least I didn't resort to bigotry.

whatever reason eunhyuk has, it is still not valid to ghost someone for a decade then comeback as if nothing happened. people just justify his ass and make excuses bcs they either find him handsome or just hate sooae and dowha
