Still hating Xuan Run, but I'll spare Siwon this time

Well, for once I actually feel sorry for Siwon. I mean, Run outed him like that. And if you live in Asia, especially Korea, you'd know how much of a burden being gay is *not to offend people but it's truth and nothing wrong with being gay, but everybody is different*. Asia isn't like America or Europe. We have equality but not for LGBT. Yes the world move forward with things like accepting Homosexuality, but it's still an issue.

Almost everyday I hear people getting killed or killed themselves just because of their sexuality in every part of Asia. So, I don't want to say anything bad about Siwon throwing tantrum to Jinha like that. Yes it is childish, but I understand Siwon's fears.

    you are right. I feel pity for them being gay and it's their fault.

    you are right. I feel pity for them being gay and it's NOT their fault.

    Woah, I almost went wild on you until I read your second statement xD you're right. No one can and SHOULD be blamed on their sexuality.

    For once? Jun has been an asshole to Siwon the whole time. Siwon was confused and Jun just came into his life all at once asking for so much and being an asshole when Siwon didn't know how he felt or how to respond. When I first met Jun my idea of him was the kind of guy who says "If you won't fuck me don't talk to me." I think better of him now but He should've known that Siwon would respond poorly if he was confronted with that sort of fuckboi attitude. This all would have gone smoother if Jun was more gentle. I'm not saying Jun should change his entire character but I do think he should gain a little tact. Siwon suffered a lot because of Jun's poor judgement.

    Let's say that, Jun is the one started it wrong, but Siwon contributed on how it would end really wrong.

    And I'm getting lost at your comments, I mean I'm just stating about how I see Siwon tantrum is understandable this time. He's a closeted gay in a really homophobic country and even more homophobic society. At the early chaps, we can see Siwon's horror when people talking bad about Jinha being gay and that somehow shoved him even further in the closet.

    I agree that Siwon is also at fault for why things went so bad but I just meant that Siwon has been treated poorly this whole time and it shouldn't be the first time that you felt sorry for him.

    100% agree with this thread, let's not also forget how Siwon's psychologically abusive father basically crushed his self-esteem as a child telling him how worthless he was to wish to be an illustrator/mangaka. Then his only form of consolation and support, Jun, disappeared without a word and Siwon had no idea why. Those years in between, Siwon never knew what happened all the while Jun prepared himself to eventually go back to Korea. Jun set himself a goal and adjusted after his abusive parents with that hope he'll reconnect with Siwon again, but Siwon had no such hope...he only knew Jun disappeared and that was that. All of that just helped to contribute to Siwon's issues with confidence, self-love, and self-acceptance which further compounded the horrific impact of being forcibly outed in a homophobic society. I have definitely felt bad for both Siwon and Jun and various points of this manwha, Jun is clearly the more resilient of the two.

    Yay!!! I agree with everything in this thread! Very few people here don’t jump on the hate trains and actually empathize and try to understand the characters! I personally have not experienced homophobia directed at me but I have two gay friends who deal with plenty of discrimination and if they hadn’t met and become the lovely couple they are now I don’t want to imagine how wrong things could have gone if they continued in the directions they were on. Needless to say, I try to keep in mind the culture that each webtoon is set in and how society would impact any characteristics of the characters <3

    Finally, I find some sane people in this comment section that look at the bigger picture.
