I scrolled through comments for raws. Jeonghan should of asked. Not everyone is also verbal in their love. But 8 years. Living together. Respect. And no cheating. Should of meant something.
But then again. If you are unhappy. Then leave.
exactly. I'm all for Jeonghan leaving an unhappy relationship, but the rest of the plot is awful justifying how he handled it. And this is the reason why most SHOULD dislike him, not because he moved on romantically. His choice of romantic partner does however leave a bad taste that's for sure.
Sorry, meant to like.
For those defending Jeonghan actually think about this plot with real context. They were in a relationship for 8 years. It’s absurd to think that no level of communication was expressed in their relationship. It’s likely just plot armor but no one stays in an 8 year relationship and never once communicates they are unhappy and the reason for it. Even in “10 years I loved you the most” that monstrous tear jerker communication is expressed and that’s saying something. It’s great for Jeonghan for leaving a toxic relationship but never saying why not even once? He doesn’t have to wait for Kangwoo to change any longer, but living in homophobic South Korea you really expect Kangwoo to willingly know your desire for a relationship that’s entirely out and proud when it can ruin your entire social and work lives without verbally communicating this? Let alone dramatically breaking up with him who realistically you’d avoid at all costs let alone becoming close soon after such short time to start dating your ex’s boss. The same boss you know is workplace abusing the boyfriend you once loved. Unless you’re being petty or vindictive who wouldn't do such a thing if not with malice? That’s adding insult to injury. He doesn’t owe Kangwoo anything but that’s just being cruel if you even think about it realistically. As for the boss he was horrible to Kangwoo before the breakup and continued to be so as he pursued Jeonghan, he’s just a terrible person who’s had it out for Kangwoo from the beginning. Nothing about the plot is believable but if we are to believe Jeonghan or the boss’s respective reasoning and actions they are just so completely immature and no better than kangwoo‘s in that regard in being oblivious in how they act emotionally harmful. I also think it’s so stupid that Kangwoo gets a love interest that just cures his internalized homophobia for the plots sake but now he’s getting dick down because he now needs to be ukefied too instead it’s utter stupidity more so because it’s never properly communicated what he did wrong in his previous relationship and gets a consolatory love interest pushed onto him to tie the plot up.
