@strawberrycream I get where you’re coming from, and I actually agree with some of your points, YJH’s decisions about his job and his family are valid, especially considering how he’s been treated. Cutting off toxic or unhealthy dynamics is completely reasonable, and I respect that.
But I think where we differ is how we see the relationship itself. For me, the concern isn’t about those individual decisions, but more about the direction they’re both heading as a couple. YJH making changes because of Garam’s influence and Garam wanting to maintain boundaries can both be true at the same time, without one of them being entirely right or wrong.
I also wouldn’t say one is fully “selfless” and the other “selfish” it feels more like both of them are struggling in different ways and reacting to their own insecurities. Instead of seeing it as one becoming mature and the other unsufferable, I see it as both of them needing growth, just in different directions.
And I think that’s what makes this arc interesting they’re not perfect, and neither of them has fully figured out how to balance love with individuality yet.
But I appreciate you sharing your perspective, and I respect your opinion even if we see the characters differently 💜
