“Dohwa also ghosted Suae for 10 years.”

He was debuting. Everyone knew that. He changed schools, changed his phone number and moved away. There was not a way Suae and him could keep contact. Doesn’t mean neither of them wanted to grow apart. It just happened. It was a natural process. They met one last time. Meanwhile Eunhyeok gives her a phone call and when she doesn’t answer he simply LEAVES. And we don’t even know WHY. And he doesn’t even have the decency of breaking up with his girlfriend before leaving. And don’t even say that’s the author ruining Eunhyeok’s character because it happened in high school as well. Eunhyeok acts distant and ignores Suae out of nowhere, for no reason, and then comes back like nothing ever happened. I like him and I understand his traumas and struggles but come on. Go to therapy so you can hear again from your left ear (since is the one damaged due to psychological reasons like stress) and then go live your life as a successful music producer in the US.

“Dohwa kissed Suae without her consent just to get a reaction out of Eunhyeok”

She went on lots of dates with him??? She kept letting him in??? The only time she questions him and calls him out is when she thought he had a girlfriend, and it stops once the dating rumors are denied. If she really didn’t want the kiss, she wouldn’t have kissed him back. She would have just given a step back and tell him she’s not comfortable like she did that time. And Dohwa didn’t see Eunhyeok following them. He doesn’t lead Eunhyeok there purposefully. He just opens his eyes to check if there’s someone coming and sees him. At least that’s how it seemed like to me. Of course you can disagree on the reason why he opened his eye and looked at him, but the rest are facts: Dohwa confessed to her. He has real feelings for her. He wanted that kiss. He didn’t kiss her just for Eunhyeok to see. And Suae gave him and opening to do so and did not stop him. Just like all the moments they had before that.

“Dohwa is famous and dating a famous person in Korea is hard and they have a lot of dating rumors/scandals”

Realistically speaking, if you all want realism, there are many cases they date and get married in secret and it’s only revealed years later and no one cares. Also, I would get it if Dohwa was still a kpop idol but now he’s just an actor, this “no dating rule” is way less strict for actors than for idols. Many actors are known to have partners, from the industry or not. Also, about the scandals, people in this industry have dating rumors just by breathing next to someone else. If it’s not true, the label will deny it and people will move on. Simple as that.

“Dohwa orchestrated the reporter situation so Eunhyeok could find the camera and threaten/blackmail him”

HOW??? How could Dohwa possibly know the reporter or Eunhyeok would be at the parking lot? How could he know Eunhyeok would do what he did? He doesn’t know Eunhyeok well, and neither Eunhyeok knows Dohwa well. It is proven in the next chapter he didn’t know before there was a reporter tailing him and that’s why he made that uncomfortable expression, he was scared, as he should be. No Dohwa fan thought Eunhyeok was gonna blackmail him, I thought he was going to destroy it or something but he was actually smart in giving it to Dohwa so Dohwa could have proof that there is a crazy paparazzi stalking him.

“Dohwa did nothing for her”

They kept spending time together??? He read her favorite story for her??? Suae herself said being with him was comfortable and fun because of the good times they had. Wether you like it or not, he is a good person and not the mastermind villain some people claim him to be. He never tried anything with Suae once they started dating. He revealed his feelings because as they were friends she deserved to know. But he never interfered in her relationship with Eunhyeok back there. Before they started dating Dohwa said he was unlucky he didn’t have the opportunity to meet Suae before but he would pursue her now. And that’s it. After Eunhyeok and Suae started dating, he never made a move on her.

“Dohwa fell in love with Suae out of nowhere”

No he didn’t. They started to be friends because of a common interest (games) and Suae was the only one that noticed him past his looks and actually saw his heart, how he truly was. It was natural. They spent enjoyable, quality time together and Dohwa fell in love. Like, that’s how it usually goes in real life for a lot of people. Now Eunhyeok seemingly has a habit of being friends with shitty people. After all these years he’s STILL spending time with Raim (it’s never explained why) and he was friends with Minu. What even got Eunhyeok to be friends with that terrible guy? Was he terrible too? Was he part of Raim’s circle and as him and Raim knew each other through music he knew Minu too? Was Minu only a jerk to Suae but nice to everyone else? Eunhyeok even says Suae looks like a middle schooler. He probably didn’t mean bad, but it rubbed me in the wrong way how he did it in front of Raim and other people. If they had explained it like: “Eunhyeok fell for Suae at first sight but she was already with Minu so he approached Minu to be close to her and warn her” it would be more understandable because Eunhyeok was never truly Minu’s friend. But in the way it was written looks like Eunhyeok was genuinely friends with Minu and only stopped when he started to like Suae. If it’s so it wouldn’t have been a problem, but they never make it clear. Eunhyeok himself questions in his head if he ever liked Suae for real or just liked “being her savior”.

“Dohwa wanted to kiss her while she was sleeping and acted immature when Suae was dating Eunhyeok”

We was just looking at her??? And admiring her??? Y’all never heard of longing and yearning before??? Like it has happened before. A character admiring another when they are asleep. All he did was put his hand on her cheek, y’all are being a little too dramatic. And yes he was immature back there but like… he eventually stops and regrets it? He was a teenager, most teenagers are not mature, we see all of them doing immature things in it. I just don’t believe in double standards. If it was Eunhyeok having that moment with Suae asleep or Suae having that moment with Eunhyeok asleep, some people wouldn’t be hating. Same thing if Dohwa was the one dating Suae and Eunhyeok acted distant out of hurt.

Which one? 😩🔥
