All good points!
After all we’re Humans and very messy ones when it comes to emotions that we can’t handel. It’s very hard to be a good person, even for a monk! At some point in our lifes, eventually, something it’s going to break, not matter the reason. How you get throu to it... well, that’s up to you. And who is next to you, accept it or not.
In the end, we are, indeed, a complex creatures!
Everyone is different but at the same time we’re all the same!
Woooooooow I'm really touch it I really love what you write beautiful words Beautiful mind Beautiful Soul yep that's you and thank you very much for saying that
I got to read a comment from someone who's not a blind Seju's fan finally. ( T﹏T )
Lol
Well, not going to lie, it was somewhat disappointing to see Seju crying once again. Was hoping it would be a full-on sweet chapter with no more drama involved, but I guess the reality isn't so simple, which does kind of hit home. I suppose even after learning the truth behind her mother and seemingly accepting her feelings for Won, she's not going to instantly change for the better. They do say old habits die hard, after all, so she still needs more time to adjust, getting used to the new and unfamiliar things. At least, Wonnie is willing to wait until she's okay.
And yes, as much as I enjoyed the sight of Won being so kind and understanding towards the President, it would be nice sometimes if she wasn't completely passive. Just imagine for once she can demonstrate an assertive attitude, telling Seju "Unnie, I'm not your damn doormat! You can't keep fucking your way out of a problem forever!" I think President might fall even harder for the former caretaker after witnessing her alpha-ness :P
I always enjoy reading your comments @ndkwon and there are some things that I agree/disagree with you. I want to discuss these points with you if you don't mind.
Isn't it bit rushed and optimistic waiting for a happy ending?, maybe Team Gaji doesn't want to give us a happy ending, it can be tragic, bittersweet and even an open ending. Sometimes I feel that the story is a bit rushed in some chapters and that the end is near and then I think it's the opposite, and honestly I have no idea what they are going to do next.
Seju went to that Villa with the intention of killing herself because she believed that without Sumin she wouldn't be able to live anymore, she didn't go to that place for
vacations or to rest, and much less to make friends or to seek a new relationship. So why she should have been kind to Won when they met?, she's not like that, Seju is a character full of gray nuances, she can be sweet and lovely or a complete bitch most of the time, she has many toxic and harmful behaviors, with herself, with others, but that is the complexity of her character and her background. And especially with her habit of pushing people away, even remember when she blatantly insult Won by telling her that she is only good in cleaning and laugh in her face. I think she is acting according to what her character is, of course we want to see changes and evolution but this kind of thing takes time and she had some progress through some chapters, here and there, subtle, but there are.
You never know when a wonderful person can fall into your life, unexpectedly and even when you are not looking for it at all, you can't predict these things, but you can decide whether or not to accept that person and let her into your life. Seju wasn't ready to let anyone in, but she can change her way of thinking and acting with Won, right?. It's called progress and I think it had to be Seju who took the first step. But still she and Won aren't in a relationship, not even close, it's wrong that she tries to have sex with someone else she likes?. She may not be prepared for this but is she guilty for trying at least?. How can you know when you are ready for something if you never try?. And perhaps it's true that she is a bit selfish but we as humans are selfish by nature, and besides she isn't forcing Won to do anything, if Won is there, it's also because she wants, It's sad when you want to be with a person but that person is not ready to be with you, but I don't think Won feels hurt by this because there aren't big feelings between them, they aren't in love, they aren't planning a future together as Sumin and Seju used to do when they were young. And many people use sex as an escape, to disconnect from reality. This is something good or bad?. I just know that sex isn't always a good and a precious thing, it can be wild, cruel and bizarre, and Team Gaji knows how to portray these moments in a way that feels very real and shocking. I don't care if this is what she is doing with Won, because I can't blame her for wanting to feel something more than pain and hate, and Won can give her what she needs and I think this is a big part why she breaks and cries, because she is feeling the delicacy and sweetness with which Won is touching her.
About Won, I can't judge her role in this "relationship" because honestly she is still a great mystery to me, rarely can we know what she is thinking or feeling, and also
she seems to be such a reserved character refusing to talk about her past with Seju several times. But I totally agree with you here because I couldn't help thinking the same in some chapters and I fear that Won will end up being as a young Sumin that never argued with Seju and only accepted/tolerated her shits and toxic behaviors. This isn't good, and honestly I will be very disappointed if it happens again. I would like to see these two arguing and crashing, because I feel that both are strong characters that can give us moments for crying and suffer.
Ndkwon is a rational thinker but some one did mention that human beings are complex creatures which is true. Most of us are complex
I really enjoyed reading your comment there was some point you are right about it your comments always very interesting really
If they're really are going for a tragic, bittersweet and open ending, then I feel they shouldn't have bothered making One in the first place. They would have been better off leaving Paradise as the true ending for Seju if that's the case, where she leaves everything behind including the memento of her first love and heads off into an uncertain future alone. Personally, I believe it will be a happy ending even if it means Seju and Won are just going to be friends or they both go their separate ways to heal themselves with promise to get back together in the future.
I agree with you!
Otherwise this side-story shouldn’t be named One (Seju and Won) but rather something else just like the 3th story, that would just focus in Nami, unattached to no one (Simple is the best).
So, I do believe, that Seju and Won will end up, working out together their issues, until they’re in sync as One.
It's better never to take anything for granted so in the end you don't end up surprised and disappointed xD.
@ndkwon, thanks for sharing your manhwa review with us, it's very gratifying to read comments from many people about what we like in common.
Lmao thanks for mentioning me Tifa, however I want to apologize in advance because I'm afraid my opinion will rain on many users' parade so here I'm creating another topic instead of replying your comment directly.
First of all, as a reader who dearly love both Won and Seju I have to say that I'm quite half-hearted and disappointed in this chapter:
1. Before chapter 121 is released, I thought the story would end very soon with Seju jumping into a make-up sex with Won then they somehow will have a sweet talk in order to know more about one another, then something about Won's past gets revealed and they will work it out eventually and happily ever after. But seems like there's a long way to go as in reality, Seju's cries at the end had destroyed all my expectation and excitement for whatever might come, and rather than wondering the reason why Seju cried (which most readers here think because she remembered of Sumin again), I really wanted to ask her "Why would you do this?" instead. Because even when she gently hoped that Won wouldn't ruin the moment by mentioning the boss-employee's relationship but if you think of it, for 2 times, it was actually Seju who ruined the moment by breaking down all of sudden. Of course it wasn't her fault to be this broken, but seriously if she wasn't ready for it then just stop doing this to Won. As for this, I think Seju's prioritizing her own needs and feelings just like how she used to do with Sumin now.
= When she first met Won, she found her annoying and pushed her away.
= When she found Won interesting, she approached her.
= When she was sexually attracted to Won, she tried to find ways to hook up with her.
= When she was scared of changes, she fired Won.
= When she knew she might need Won, she kept Won by her side and went for another sex.
It is indeed a relationship that Seju has full control of so far. In fact Seju right now is like a poisonous candy that I don't want Won to have a taste on yet. Going back and forth like a dog obeying her owner isn't nice. How I wish she could be considerate of Won's feelings in this case too since it would be such a terrible experience for anyone to be turned upside down like that.
2. As for Won, she's remarkably considered as a very obedient character by Seju and the way Team Gaji is telling the story so far. So my big question is, what would happen if she didn't listen to Seju anymore? What if Won reached her limit? I bet people like this are the most dangerous lol because the calmer they are, the scarier it will be when they get mad. And, the saddest truth is, if Won keeps on caring too much, prioritizing Seju's feelings and going along with whatever Seju's comfortable at like this, sooner or later Seju will just take Won for granted. She'll think Won would always be there for her, and she will just care more about what she wants to do and can do with Won, instead of what they should do together. And of course I don't like it. As much as Seju needs somebody to really love and cares for her, Won deserves that somebody to do the same too. So I want Won to know how to say NO to Seju sometimes.
3. Then again, Sumin's 10 years of torture finally succeeded in brainwashing Seju that sex or "pain" is the only way to escape reality. And that was exactly what Seju was trying to do with Won, aside from having feelings for Won (which isn't passionate enough now), indeed she wanted to feel alive and a little less lonely by having somebody next to her. The first time she cried was obviously because of the guilt/remorse over Sumin, and the second time might be because of Sumin again + all the overwhelming feelings of new changes in her life in the past few weeks (Won+ selling Hello Studio + bastard brother trying to kill her + Chahee's diary). Seju was trying to wash away all these pain and unfamiliar information with sex but of course, she failed miserably. Again, I know Seju is in pain too, but I seriously hope she won't use Won for a third time to run away from it. I mean just don't drag Won too deep into the mess because she's also precious and deserves love too, it's really not easy for Seju or any of us to meet somebody like her....
4. The caller: must be from someone or about something fishy/important/urgent since it was a late night call, but when zooming the text, I'm very sure it wasn't Sumin's name judging by the way they were written in Hangul. So I placed her out of my final possibilities: Nammi, Seju's grey-haired butler, Won's ex, Won's parents, purple-head CEO, Emergency call from anon lmao. However I doubt it was grey haired dude since 99% percent Seju would just named him by his title "butler" or something in her contact list, so he's not the one needed to be blurred anyway. I mean the fact that Team Gaji blurred it on purpose tells it must be the name either of somebody we've known very well or somebody that we don't have any idea just by seeing her/his name so far(Won's ex - a well-known swimmer by her name contrastically for example). So in a nutshell, Team Gaji wanted to save their cake for the next party. Something that they don't wanna reveal yet, because once we know, we would have known many other things just like the way they chose not to write the story on Won's POV since the beginning lmao.
