this, punch drunk love and sugar trap are how misunderstanding tropes should be written. its high tier comedy gold
you guys are gon be surprised by how xinlu looks this season. trust me
YES OMFG I CANT WAIT FOR THAT PANEL TO BE TRANSLATED AND SEEING XINLUS GLOW UP ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ incredibly charming and I’m fan girling hard.
OMG OMG YEEEESSSS I was about to say same thing, like I am still in shock
no because same OFFFF
I’m still loyal to ilay, but I can like another’s looks too. What happened to Xinlu?? I saw on Twitter, and people were saying it’s without Ilay’s filter, what does that mean? Help.
its not ilays filter. its taeuis filter and taeui darling im never trusting ur narration ever again TT. xinlus so hot the panel got me flabbergasted and thats coming from a novel reader who knew he was gonna appear
i was expecting twinkie twinkie little star lmaoo. taeui got us all fooled
im rlly looking forward to ppls reactions when they get translated. btw u can find it already on zinchan
Wait why did Taeui see him like a twink??
Well it’s actually stated multiple times that taeuis perception of ppl is just wrong lmao. Also tiny spoilers but taeui has always been the ‘perfect top’ his entire life (as quoted by ppl around him) so perhaps his confidence? I honestly don’t know how he thought he could easily top xinlu tho
i absolutely love this chapter bcos it shows how crazy both yohan and jun are. ppl overlook juns craziness bcos yohan stole the scene with the fight but not everyone can think of preserving a tooth during batshit bloody scruffle. this shows how jun is just equally as crazy as yohan. i stan a couple where one pulled out his own tooth and the other just grabs it to save it without making a big deal out of it.
as a novel reader their relationship is undeniably complex and i highly highly rec it cos jun is my absolute fav mc. he is so intelligent and manipulative and is one of the strong headed mcs ive ever seen. and as much of a red flag yohan is jun is on the same lvl if not even higher. they match each others freaks so well that this kind of relationship i dont mind EVEN if its gonna be toxic as hell
it was a bit long but i just love jun so damn much
oh, I just love it when both sides are toxic!
thats our girl. rooting for u and all the girls out there who are taken for granted like haesoo. pathetic shits dont deserve ur tears nor ur fear of love
the eng trans is out on other sites btw
may the chasing arc last the whole year
I don’t have this patience my guy
You my friend are trying to torturing us no him
okay crap this is gonna be hella long but i just dont know why daons hated so much. true even i did too to the point of dropping it after 40 something chapters but i picked it up again recently. its a good thing i did cos ive just read some of their past explained and the most hateful character is jaemin and only him. its a well established fact that sunghyeons a really sweet and overall just a very good person. as for soohyun i disliked him so much but then hes also this sweet but misunderstood person that got tangled in jaemins twisted games along with daon. and as for daon, well this is gonna be long.
lets imagine ourselves in his shoes. lets say youre from a very poor and fvcked up family where youre basically the breadwinner and have like 3 younger siblings and 2 grown ups to feed and youre still just a highschooler. youre barely scraping by and im not even talking abt the physical strain its gonna have on you. the amount of mental stress thats gonna affect u is unsettling. then insert this attractive thoughtful and kind person (jaemin) who treats u so well (tutoring u for free, helping u out during difficult times and was just always there for u while also knowing all the problems ur having) ur bound to fall for that person, also feeling so grateful for everything hes done but at the same time just assumed how theyre a social level above you making u hide ur feelings for them cos u didnt want to lose either ur crush, benefactor or simply just a fri cos hes all of them to u.
then insert this another attractive guy (soohyun) whos also rlly good to u but unlike the 1st guy he actually makes advancements towards u, constantly being flirty and smooth. making u forget the burdens and problems life throws ur way and just makes u feel good in general. ur feelings r gonna waver for him cos hes not giving up even after u told him u liked someone else. but then these 2 people suddenly told u they were dating AFTER YOU introduced them to each other. ur now supposed to let go of ur lingering feelings for the 1st person and ur confusing but developing feelings for the 2nd one. ofc ur gonna feel betrayed but then again u cant blame them cos they owe u nth and in fact its the opposite cos theyre the ones who r always helping YOU. and then even after they told u they were dating each other theyre not leaving u alone either. theyre everywhere in ur life treating u in the same confusing ways they always did and u cant develop feelings for either of them cos then, youd be betraying both of them which u cant cos by then, they mean a lot to u. also dont forget how ur constantly juggling ur college and family life while trying to earn enough money for ur household.
this goes on for a decade (yes a decade) and then insert another person (sunghyeon) who is, unlike the other two, very straightforward with his feelings. never confusing you nor burdening u but is always patient and understanding and is just very very sweet to u. hes a breath of fresh air from ur harsh life and whatever complicated rs youve been having with the 1st two guys and then when ur starting to develop feelings for this person the other two acts all threatened and then start vomiting their pushed down feelings for u. u cant just let go of over a decade long lingering attachment however toxic they may be cos u feel like u owe them (especially jaemin) for everything u have when in fact u dont actually owe them anything at the same time or can u? (this is the rlly confusing part)
this is how daons life is and im not talking trash abt any of ur opinions regarding daon. i just wanted to lay this down in writing cos i feel overwhelmed when i put myself in his shoes. hes frustrating as hell, yes, but i just think hes not as bad as ppl r claiming him to be. unlike other mcs, the struggle daons going through isnt physical but emotional. and soohyun, god i feel so bad for him. he just made a stupid choice and took the advice of a very cunning person and ends up losing the one person hes been genuinely yearning for for a very long time.
thank you for this summary!! been wanting to read these but the comments sort of kept me away from reading it and now that the drama has come out i just wanted a rundown of what the story actually is about
its not as bad as the comments are saying but ofc thats just my opinion lol. u should give it a try tho. i admit it does raises my stress levels but its not as bad as litc cos i dont rlly feel that attached to the characters (on the other hand since i love cirrus and skylar too much my worries skyrocket everytime theyre in a bind lmaoo)
