I can tell you some of your issues are not in the Korean.
In may Seoil announced it was ending soon. It ending in August I think. When she took a week or two off in the hiatus notes she talked about the end. We do feel like she rushed it and drop a few things. Jaehee seemed to have a different plot line. They did stop a week to change the story.
The issue with Hangnyum and Hajin was resolved mostly by their selves. However Hangyum did say everything but two things in chapter 40. Mi Amore told me there is a lot we don’t pick up on either from the English translators changing It or Korean culture. Hajin already knew what happened and he went to fix. He waited for a week. When they meet by coincidence Hajin wouldn’t be acting that way if he thought Hangyum was avoiding him by not call him in week. When he says he been getting spam all week. He actually said it has already been a week. They are from Korean and sometimes they indirect communicate. Mi Amore gives an example for direct communication hey turn up the heater vs isn’t cold in here (indirect communication). Chapter 50 had indirect communication that is missed if you don’t know Korean tend to use indirect communication more and the mistranslations. I would ask you to go back to chapter 40. Maybe the fan translation in the raw section. Hangyum did explain and in chapter 51. It just jumped over that conversation.
Hangyum. Hang yum. If you think dirty you till not forget how to spell it.
I wished we got to see who Woojae, Haeun, Well all of them ending up with.
You mentioned many lose ends but they may or may not been part of it.
This-> You can see this when Hajin is telling Hangnyum that he never really slept with Jaehee but Hangnyum refuses to believe him. Not in the Korean story. I forgot what was said. I will ask Mi Amore.
Then at the end, they declare that they love each other, in the snow. That last few bubbles are wrong. Hangyum mentions that is the second time they seen the snow together and Hajin asked when was the first. Hangyum says it is a secret. Nothing about watching the awards and you will see.
Chapter 53 says Hajin’s company is doing good
Hangyum and Hajin if they still true to Korean culture they would be fired like the one that come out a few years ago. Hajin talks about it in aa early chapter. Let’s hope they don’t get caught.
Seoil on Twitter said the only time we see the entertainment was in the first chapter. The rest is focused on them with the past interwoven.
So It is not about the entertainment but their relationship. so some of relationships we wanted to see may not had been part of the story.
Hangyum has a his apartment, his family house, and the band apartment. Hangyum and Hajin goes to his apartment more often and his idol band mates don’t know of that apartment. Hangyum mentioned chunghoon should not knew about that place in 48? He hid that apartment away.
Also Hajin moved into that apartment with him.
So he did not move out per say. It is not unrealistic they don’t know where the apartment is.
Jaehee was with Sohyun before he went aboard.
Some of it was the English translation and she ended I think because of her health.
There are plot devices that were introduced and then never used. Like Jaehee recording Hajin in chapter 36? The fan translations group is planning to get they rest up soon. They had a few done but they had a few real-life problems. Hopefully they back on tract. I hope you will try that where some of your issues about this story. Not all.
Oh so the translation changed some parts of the story?
I honestly don’t remember some of the things you’re talking about and I reread the story yesterday so I guess it’s the translation.
Also the story says completed. Will there be more chapters?
My point with Hajin’s company is that the story focused on Hajin getting a clothing store or something, and hiring Hangnym as a model. In chapter 53 we get like a panel telling us about the store. It just feels so rushed.
Anyways I’m glad that a lot of the issues are from bad translations. I liked the art so it was a shame that the story wasn’t as good, but it’s nice knowing that the holes are not the author’s fault.
I totally agree with you. Don’t get me wrong the manhwa was great. But indeed it was rushed. Sad tbh ):
I really wanted to see more side stories. I feel like the story started off nicely but it got rushed in the end. The whole issue with Hangnyum and his past with Hajin was resolved way too quickly. It’s like they glossed over it despite it having such a big role at the start of the story. The story also spent a good amount of time on Hajin’s friend’s crush on Hajin’s sister, and Hangnyum’s brother. It seemed like at the end these characters just were cut off because the author hinted at Sohyun and Hangnyum’s brother having a relationship, yet we never even see Sohyun’s post breakup life, or what happens to Hangnyum’s brother when Sohyun is finally single. Also, there was that whole blind date that Hajin’s friend went on. Wth happened with that? No info at all. And did anything ever happen between the friend and Hajin’ s sister? Again, no info.
Not to mention, even the main couple’s ending was really rushed. It seems like they had a huge fight, and they made up through somehow coincidentally meeting up at their previous school’s rooftop and then having sex, and bam no more argument. They don’t even explain to each other properly about the misunderstandings. You can see this when Hajin is telling Hangnyum that he never really slept with Jaehee but Hangnyum refuses to believe him. Then at the end, they declare that they love each other, and we see another scene where Hajin and Hangnyum come out to the sister and the friend. That’s it. We never see Hajin return to school, nor how Hajin’s company goes. We also don’t see how Hangnyum as an idol is going to deal with dating Hajin because it’s obviously gonna be a controversial issue, and they’re definitely going to be found out.
Lastly there are some parts of this story that just are nonsensical. How is Hangnyum winning a big reward? He’s literally been through so many controversies. There’s no way someone who is notorious for not showing up to movie filming, and also upsets other actors, would get an award like best rookie. Hangnyum is also part of the idol group. How come we almost never see the idol group performing? And while we’re at it, the story of the grey haired idol in the group hasn’t been finished. Hangnyum is an extremely popular idol, even though he’s known for being rude, horrible to his fans, and even sleeps around. This sort of idol would never come close to being popular in the entertainment industry. Since Hangnyum is so popular, how is Hangnyum able to move out and live with Hajin? Obviously fans will find out. It’s even more unrealistic to me that the other idol members don’t even know where Hangnyum lives now.
Moving on to Jaehee. After Jaehee gets dumped, virtually nothing happens with Jaehee afterwards, other than Hangnyum tricking Jaehee, which is a plot device that is never used. Why did Jaehee leave Hajin? All were told is that it’s bc Jaehee didn’t know where he was in life. How did Jaehee even come to this decision? We see him smiling and having sex with Hajin, and then bam next scene they break up. And then back to present, Jaehee has a girlfriend. How did Jaehee even meet Sohyun abroad? I doubt Sohyun would’ve just fallen for some random guy so quickly.
I’m a little disappointed with this story. It had so much potential. My guess is that the story had to get axed, or the author just didn’t have a good editor. There are so many holes, and plot devices that were introduced and then never used. I’m sorry for this huge rant. I just really liked this story at the start but I never expected it to end like this.
