Comment by KTSupreme on ItsNotOverYet

@KTSupreme Thank you so much for your reply! It's interesting to read, especially since many of my feelings resonate with you.
I understand your point of view! I'm also a little worried that with each chapter, the number of problems, actions, lack of help, and the fact that Mok-Yeon and Nanjo don't interact—all of this increases with each chapter to such a degree that it's hard for me to imagine an ending in which their relationship is happy, sincere, and mutual. Or rather, I can imagine such a relationship and such an ending, but I lack the imagination to figure out how they'll get there from this point. But I really hope the author has come up with something truly good, not the usual "all the problems are magically solved, they're back together." And yes, with each chapter, there are fewer and fewer chapters devoted to the process of rebuilding their relationship, to them truly getting to know each other, and to the "happy couple" period.

Regarding the darkness and heaviness of Season 2: I also didn't expect Season 2 to be like this. Surprise!😂 But maybe I even like how heavy it is (well, that's just my opinion). And the author describes Mok-Yeon's states of mind surprisingly well and accurately. For example, when Mok-Yeon's friends visited, many readers perceived it as a positive development, but in the plot, it actually worsened—immediately after leaving, Mok-Yeon "sank even deeper". And that's VERY realistic and accurate. I even thought about whether the author might have gone through some difficult events in her her own real life between the first and second seasons.

If it's really difficult and unpleasant to read (especially given the heavy themes the story deals with), maybe I should wait until September? And return to the story when there's light at the end of the tunnel? (I keep telling myself, "Don't read an ongoing story," and I'm still here😒) Or should wait for the ending? It's easier to get through chapters like this when there's an ending. You don't have to wait 10 days to find out if he hurt himself, if he ended up in the hospital, if he got worse? It's a bit of torture, of course. Better to save your nerves!

I probably still hope that they can start FROM THE BEGINNING, precisely from this CHAOS and these PROBLEMS. This became very important to me precisely because of Mok-Yeon's mental problems. Because I have mental problems myself (of a completely different spectrum and intensity than Mok-Yeon's, but still, problems are problems), I feel some connection to the situation. And I know that I will never have a day when I can say, "That's it, I'm a completely healthy person now, these problems will never come back." You know how they say, "Start with yourself" or "You must first learn to love yourself and only then can you truly love another person." This is all true, this is all good. But what if this moment never comes, no matter how much you try, change, grow, and develop? That is... I guess I'd like to have a story where such problems 1) don't magically disappear in 1 day 2) the character doesn't become a completely renewed and mentally healthy (and essentially completely DIFFERENT character) WITHOUT past problems after a time skip of couple of years, because his problems didn't magically disappear; but in his life someone was found who understood the complexity of his problems but still decided to support him on his path to recovery, not out of pity or guilt, but because he want to help those he love, he want him to get better, to recover, and to be happy, even if it's difficult to help. This is my own very unrealistic fairy tale 🧚‍♀️ that I want to read (I understand that most readers don't need it😅).

@KTSupreme Another thing I'm leaning on a bit in this story is that a person diagnosed with, for example, chronic depression at their worst moment (episode), isn't quite their true self, not quite their true character. They become themselves again when the condition subsides, even just a little. So, Mok-Yeon  behavior we see now isn't quite his usual behavior; on the contrary, it's most likely atypical for him, but the illness takes its toll. That is, there is a chance that when he gets better, he will sincerely regret his actions and will evaluate them as wrong, because he will return to a state of "sanity".
But a lot depends on Nanjo's feelings, his POV, his character, his desires and even his strength of spirit. Because, one way or another, Mok-Yeon is too complex for most people, in my opinion.😁
But I agree that when you look at the situation from Nanjo's perspective, you don't believe in any love on Mok-Yeon's part (only obsession and selfishness), and staying as far away from Mok-Yeon as possible and never having anything to do with him seems like the right thing to do. Perhaps the only thing that helps here is that "the heart wants what the heart wants" and that we don't always choose those who are best for us, but simply those we want.

My comment may look like I'm trying to persuade you to read on🤣, but really, take care of yourself and your nerves!😉 We don't know what the story will ultimately be or what the author has in store for us!
