I agree with the above points re: mentor-mentee relationship – which I’ve been iffy about since the beginning of WG… you’re right, Jang had a sort of hero-worship crush going on which will never really end well in a romantic relationship.
Jang has already had her personal growth added as an afterthought this season, and I hope they don’t do that. That sounds horrible story wise, and I think both deceived will suffer if that happens. If the story had said, Jwon isn’t sure about priesthood, if they added a scene showing him admitting that he wanted the normal life sometimes, it would be ok I hope we don’t get a cheesy melo too. It feels like we’ve been denied seeing Jwon’s struggle. A turning point being shown entirely in flashback feels like a cheap trick. Any flashbacks happened soon, and within a couple of episodes.Ī flashback to add extra context to a decision taken makes sense. We knew that Deoksun was pretending to limp /was disappointed at Taek canceling date. I am even perfectly willing to believe she even might have liked Jungpal at some point if someone tells me. We knew Deoksun liked or rather liked being chased by Sunwoo/Jungpal. We found out Jwan is a marshmallow, and SH is someone who cares more than he let’s on, and that Shwa is a micromanager, but these are not major revelations and fit the characters. SH/Jwan and Shwa have been the same from beginning to end. I still feel like the character is very flawed, but the writer chose to make his character seem delusional when IJ clearly knew something we didn’t. I liked Ikjun and he became a meddler (with good reason it turns out). > character disliked due to writing (maybe we’re me at to dislike this character) But then he started over stepping and I don’t like him anymore. I loved how Chihong was direct and confessed to Shwa. I think maybe if the dates were more obvious, it would be clearer -> character suffered from poor writing As a viewer holding this writer to high standards, if WG had to ship I would’ve loved the flashbacks this season, and Jwon deciding to stay. I think the way the writer handled Jwons story wasn’t to MY liking. What I wanted from this drama was realistic relationships. While I was on this ship, I loved all the characters. I am not supporting the Bear-bear ship too.Though Minha seems more experienced and mature, so with a good arc it might be THIS is my major worry! So do relationships where there is a large age gap (results may vary, but this is mainly because the older person is probably earning a lot more). Mentor-Mentee relationships have a lot of power imbalance.
I hope we see get a better arc instead of the usual fluffy arc.Īlso, just in general to put it out there. I’m ok with Jwon hiding DLL, because it’s logical.
I hope she gets to have a relationship without his guilt coming in between them. He’s been struggling a bit with his faith. And he moved religion out of his life (or drawer) for her. But, he hasn’t been honest with her until now. nrllee’s timeline depicts how much whiplash Jwon was having. But he stringed her along for the better part of a year while he figured out stuff. If anything, she is super awkward and weird and EVERYONE knows what she thinks. Jang is a 29yr old resident with bad empathy, but she’s not deceitful on purpose.
I hate saying “deserve” in a relationship, but he brings so much baggage into this WinterGarden ship. Looking at this ship from the perspective of WinterGarden:
