if there was an option to pin your comment at the starting of this comment section I would have done that ...this is by far the best explanation I have seen regarding Ji Woo ..u nailed understanding Ji Woo to the point !!!!

maybe ur right ....people looking at everything through idealistic lenses will never understand the motivations behind Ji Woo !!

forgiveness is not a waiting game ...its not the process of inflicting revenge pain on the person who did u wrong ..its understanding the other person who has come to u for a chance and that understanding does not take a lot of time..u either understand or u don't...

i seriously don't understand people !! 😂...first they complain that they don't get enough realistic portrayals of relationships in dramas and when they do get somehow it becomes too real and they are like no we want the idealistic version of this so please tone down !!!

I will not even defend the whole first part coz i think I already have done that a lot of times but coming to the part of is Ji Woo the best he can get...ahhh if only falling in love worked according to logic !! U make deciding to love someone the same as going to purchase at a supermarket ..so u see someone whom u have an attraction to for whatsoever reason but then u think hold on I should explore other options coz u know other brands might have better deal...😂..sorry the heart wants what it wants ..atleast for like majority of us ..i'm not talking about the 1 percent elite idealistic people who measure pros and cons before loving someone !!!

yessss !! Thank you for this !! his character is so in accordance with s1

one thing I noticed in the comment section is that a lot of people who are liking the show (like me) are giving examples of their relationships and how they had similar partners or they themselves were at one point like Ji Woo...this goes to show how realistic a character Ji Woo is ...and it also serves as a message to all the moral policing being done here on Ji Woo's character by people who see other people as either black or white and nothing of any grey shade in between...people who are soooo idealistic that I can't see how they survive in the real world !!!

thank you for showing empathy towards Ji Woo!! That's all I have been asking people to do!!

I loved your explanation and it matched with everything that I have been saying and feeling!!!!

I never said it's okay to treat people badly ...but if everything in the world happened by a rulebook it would be such a wonderful place...u think people don't do this in real life? they don't treat other people badly by lashing out coz of stuff they are going through? If not ur really blessed to stay in a wonderful place surrounded by such nice people but most of us are not ...a lot of us have been at the receiving and giving end of unintentionally inflicting pain on our loved ones through our words and actions whenever we ourselves were going through a crisis...Ji Woos actions are not justified but forgivable ...not once did he give any reason justifying what he did was correct..he said everything he did was coz of his cowardice and insecurities and indirectly asked for another chance ..Seo Joon decided to give him another chance ...the ending of the relationship was completely depended on Seo Joon and he decided to do something which completely went in accordance with his character ...u have to understand they are not PatPran from Bad Buddy ..they are not perfect characters ..these people are as flawed as humans can get ....and I always feel that people deserve a second chance or even third unless they do something which is irredeemable

it was not him demanding that ...not everything has to be taken literally ..him asking Seo Joon to do all that was his way of telling him that these were the things that made him feel uncomfortable and eventually made him leave..and sorry does not have to be always be a verbal I'm sorry....Ji Woos actions said all the sorry that was required...a person can say I'm sorry and not mean it ...I think what he did, showed much more of a character growth that from a person who hid each n every emotion..who kept everything bottled up, he became someone who bared himself naked in front of the man he loved ..about one persons need? ur saying as if Ji Woo did not do anything for Seo Joon and did not care for him? everything doesn't have to be a grand gesture...a person cooking meals for u also can be a gesture of love ...not saying it equates to what he was demanding but lets not turn him into a parasite...that line if u remeber "if u keep pushing me away I will not be able to come after u like u did" is basically him telling that he is not as strong as Seo Joon and is a coward and then him saying can you hug me is Ji Woos way of saying can you forgive me....verbally saying I'm sorry would have been completely out of Ji Woos character..and however right it sounds that apology should be a proper I'm sorry not everyone is capable of saying it but they do show it through other means ...its upto us to understand that act of apology which Seo Joon did...is there a guarantee that their relationship will go perfectly after this ? not at all ..but Seo Joon chose to give it a chance rather than fdace the alternative which made him unhappier ...

Having empathy for one person does not mean u have to disregard the other...there are no sides here ..that is what the beauty is ..no one is doing anything to intentionally to hurt the other...both are suffering ..you think Ji Woo was living a very happy life after getting away from Seo Joon? ...and he accepted in the end that his actions were based on cowardice and his inability to fight for what he wanted .....and yes he was worthy of forgiveness. He didn't deceive seo Joon, he did not cheat on him , he did not abuse him ..he just went away in a desperate act of cowardice ...and when he realized that what he had done was not making any of them happy he accepted his mistakes and bared himself asking for forgiveness from the man he really loved but just dint have the courage to show!! and logic does not work when u love someone ..had I been in Seo Joons place, I would have done the same when the person I love comes back asking for forgiveness and a second chance( unless they have done something which is unforgivable)

Ok so according to you an insecure gloomy guy = not worthy of deserving happiness? That is what the drama showed that love is not always between two perfect people...Ji woo has all the issues that anyone can have ...I'm glad that for once they showed a character as lead who's not surreal ..who belongs to the real world..he is marred by insecurities ..he is someone who keeps every emotion bottled up ...i understand because I was like that and upto a limit I still am....so according to your theory I also don't deserve love or happiness? Ji Woos first reaction to any problem is extreme ...which is consistent with his character in the 1st season..he felt lonely in a relationship and did not have the guts to convey it so he ran away ..yes he was a coward and in his guilt he treated Seo Joon in a very bad way .,,but that is what lashing out is...people behave like that in real life...a lot of relationships go through a rough patch because of one persons insecurities or failure to communicate ...And in the end when he realized everything, he was honest af...he bared himself in that scene where he conveyed everything while crying like a baby ..do u know how much courage it would have taken for Ji Woo to open up like that when he has always been the one to hide his emotions...and in the end "who cares ..I don't remember why the breakup happened" is such a positive message that in their long journey this small rough patch was so insignificant that they don't even remember why it happened!!!

haha if he had so much sense at that time of right or wrong he wouldn't have run away in the first place ...did u not understand the part where he accepts that he behaved that way coz his guilt made him uncomfortable ...he felt guilty whenever he saw Seo Joon coz he knew Seo Joon had done nothing wrong and he felt uncomfortable being forced to face his act of cowardice!! that is the most realistic character ..people do lash out when they feel guilty and this is very beautifully depicted ...u know what now people have become so obsessed with not tolerating #toxicbehavior that they have forgotten to differentiate between someone acting wrong with malicious intent and someone acting up coz of other issues !! empathy is the key !!

this is hands down one of the best shows ( shows not just BL) i have ever seen...!! before starting I had a lot of expectations from this sequel..the show took my expectations threw it out of the window and gave me an experience that I didn't expect and didn't know that I needed !! thanks for giving me a show which will be in my memory for a long time instead of something which just made me feel good for one day !!

I can't believe that I came to MDL comment section thinking people would be mature enough to understand and comprehend Ji Woos character and his motivations but here i see a bunch of people complaining about how Ji Woo was an asshole and how they did not get cute moments between the couple!! but then maybe I was expecting too much !!

the fact that you call Ji Woos behavior as abusive and call him an asshole just states how well u understood his character !! but then maybe ur life has been perfectly happy with u never facing any insecurities of ur own so i should not judge u!!

I know each of us has different povs and perspectives but I really don't understand the people who are complaining about Ji Woo's character..i'm confused..did we not watch the same drama? was it so difficult to understand where Ji Woo was coming from or the motivations behind his actions..only a person who has no empathy regarding someone facing inner demons and insecurities will say that Ji Woo does not deserve to be forgiven !!

actually I think Ji Woos character was perfectly in sync with his season 1 character , just explored in more detail this time ...

a perfectly soothing and calming movie...don't expect a lot to happen ..this is like having a warm cup of tea in a cool winter morning !! won't make you full but will warm your heart !
