Yes Sungji is providing a healthy environment for Sumin. But I really find it hard to be convinced that this would be a real case, instead of the author just making it work because it is supposed to work. I don't find it realistic how a person with Sumin's baggage and her past relationship failures would suddenly be able to change without either of them (her or Sungji) actively trying.
No matter how great a person is, damaged people can't have healthy relationship without trying. Not because of their partner, but because of themselves.

So Sumin carring all this baggage from her past, and Sungji simply being nice to her seems very weak to me.
But of course this is manhwa and doesn't have to make sense. So there's that.

Honestly I really don't see how Sungji heals Sumin. She actively has done very little to help her in this issue. She knew about Seju way before, yet her behavior didn't change.
She got cheated and then came back really quickly, not saying anything. They had sex.
The only time she was opposed was now that Seju moved to Sumin's house. She is just too passive to be considered a healer.
To me, it was Sumin feeling fed up with her relationship with Seju, and this super nice and a bit naive girl happened to really like her.
So Sumin took that opportunity and put all of her emotional needs into Sungji, since she was always actively trying to find a better match to get over Seju.

The story moves because of Seju now. Since Sumin and Sungji being the main couple, the story should be written in a different perspective. At this point, to me at least, it would make more sense if the whole point if this story would actually be Sumin and Seju resolving their issues and getting back together again.
And even if it is revealed in the end that Sungji was playing a different role that she was hiding all along, it still I not enough at this point.

They could have saved it by making Seju more detached from Sumin, but she is getting worse. It's just frustrating to see nothing good happening to her character.

Most authors are above 30 :P at least from the ones that I know.
Also yeah I understand why you'd thought that, but ever since I started playing online games I was surprised to see quite lot people above their 30s as well. It is not uncommon.

Twitter account, she had a birthday cake on 2nd of Nov. And she is 34 years old

Are you sure she's not celebrating Seju's 34th birthday? Cause it sounds like it. She celebrated Sungji's birthday with the same manner :)

P.S: She can not be that old @@

34 is not that old at all lol

Yes but relationships are not a game. If she keeps on blatantly pursuing Sumin, it's like she is forcing another person to be with someone she doesn't want to.
So she loses Sumin for good. At least now they can stay friends when thing have settled.
This would only be a naive selfish move from her that would only make thing worse.

Yeah their relationship doesn't seem toxic anymore. After this point both parties have settled down with their emotions imo.

Sumin obviously worries that someone might attempt to kill Seju, that's why she seemed so scarred when she entered the house and Seju didn't respond. It's normal since there is a valid reason that Seju's life could be in danger.
Sumin may have moved on from Seju romantically, but that doesn't mean she stops caring about her as a person. Two people not being together anymore doesn't mean they don't love each other as a person.

Seju is sad and knows this is over imo. I don't think she plans something big to secretly screw Sumin and Sungji relationship though. nonetheless she still enjoys teasing Sumin.

To me Seju knows her romantic relationship with Sumin is over for good this time and is just taking advantage of their current situation to tease Sumin.
She is obviously sad for both their relationship and as well worries about her dad. This is why she has lost her appetite and doesn't eat.

It seems she has accepted this fate, that's why she doesn't do any real move on Sumin, but still enjoys the moments they are together.

I don't know about facebook discussions about Sungji, but honestly I don't think we can analyze her character in depth for sure. There are no real clues as to what she feels. Every little detail on body language etc is just readers assuming what she probably feels , or even what she is supposed to feel.

^what if the new team leader is the assasin? Lol

  • Am I being the bad person when I find SuminxSeju's interactions in this chap has more sexual attractions and chemistry than SuminxSungji in this chap?

No you're not. I always found them more interesting than the main couple. Main couple to me feels like I'm supposed to like it just because the story is about them. But the story doesn't work much on them imo.
Anyway, I have give up on teampink and I don't even want them to go back together now. It wouldn't be fair for Sungji either.

It's just like how Es0teric said too. At this point, they are just milking it as much as possible. Seju and Sumin is only in the past.

I've said it before, they should have handled Sungji's character differently. She should be the one moving the story forward, since she is the person Sumin finally finds true love with, after such a messy 10 yo relationship. Feels like the classic mc syndrome some anime suffer from too.

I joined a Facebook group that says very clearly: they are not intrested in ship wars but focus on the Story! (How cool, right!)

DAMN.. I thought the story was directed to Adults.. but I saw there some serious issues and yeah there was no wars bcz they just blindly hate Seju (and the so called "real lesbians") and almost sending Sungji marriage proposals hehehehe... cracked me up, almost looked like high school kind of commentary

A good portion of the people who hate Seju is solely because of the fact that she slept with a man. I've seen this so much hate from these type of people last year, not only for Seju but for fans who like her character too. It's like, they preach how much they love pure characters like Sungji, yet they are the ones who are being hateful.

No, not yet. Her life has been like that since 10 years ago. If she lets go of Sumin now, then every thing she's done for Sumin as well as her 10 years of waiting for Sumin would all turn in vain. Nami told her that she was like Sumin's dog long time ago, it's not new. She feels like she has no one cuz she actually doesn't have anyone. Does she neccessarily need to let go of the one she love in order for her to realize that she deserves better? What if after letting go of Sumin, she realizes nothing? What if she doesn't fall in love with anyone after that?

It's not about whether all these years will go to waste. I see it on the opposite side of the spectrum, that the longer she holds on to Sumin, the more she loses. She won't get Sumin back, they both know it. She just stays in that situation with the hope, bur the reality is different. She just tries to avoid the inevitable for as long as possible. At least if she moves on from Sumin on her own, she still has her integrity left, versus when Sumin will decide to call it ends for good.

If she never finds anyone like Sumin, she still has nothing to lose. Because Sumin won't go back to her anyway. If she never falls in love again, that's ok too. She can find other stuff to do with her life instead of putting all of her worth in falling in love with a certain person.
That's why in situations like this, therapists say that the person should get an interest to themselves and do stuff for them. Because these type of relationships are codependent, meaning the person can't function without their partner, which is unhealthy.
And I do believe that if she actively decides to move on from Sumin, eventually she will be able to like someone else. Maybe that will even take her years, but it's possible.

I just think it's wiser to know when to quit, instead of pushing until the very end.

If Seju is not gonna let go of Sumin even until the very end of the story, my imagination would be that she will never lose.

She has already lost. And if she doesn't let go, it's a double loss. It feels like she becomes Sumin's dog. I know she feels like she has no one, but she got to realize she deserves better.

Seju just needs to find her self respect again and finally move on from a lost case. At this point, it's harder to hold on to Sumin than letting her go.

Oh yes I've seen this one lol. Well it was a bit weird to me how they are like this, but it doesn't seem like anything major really. Just like when we had a pic of Seju touching Sungji's chin, but this certainly doesn't mean a Seju x Sungji pairing lol.

I noticed that this chapter Gaji drowings surpassed her normal level.. just beautiful.. all three girls looked even more stunning ..
The moment when the assasin was strangling seju and she was gasping for air (looked a bit sexy - i am a pervert I know !)
Sungji at the end also .. stunning

I really like Seju's hair with that black shirt in the end. She looks really beautiful.

She probably means Sumin I guess. But who knows, maybe she means something about her brothers too?

Anyone here ships Seju x Assassin-ssi? I'll pass.

I don't but I found interesting how assasin seemed to kinda have the hots for Seju. Or maybe I'm totally imagining it.

I believe Seju is holding too tight on her past with Sumin. And plus, she was never lucky enough to find anyone else who loved her as much as Sungji loves Sumin, to be able to move on. Because since she has no one else, her only choice is to hold even to that little that Sumin gives/gave.

Also lol at assasin creepily flirting with Seju.

Well I'm just happy to see Seju so much in a chapter again. The plot is irrelevant now.

Honestly it would be no surprising at all if Seju gets along with Sungji, if that meant she would get to be close to Sumin and not completely lose her.
It is an ending I wouldn't like much, but it is better than Seju dying alone and miserable. Although not really believe it will actually be a threesome ending. More like everyone accepts everyone and no hard feelings left between them imo

I wonder if the author is keeping the love triangle on or just to make us ecstatic again.

That's exactly why they keep it, since as we can see from the past chapters, there is no plot between the main couple besides sex scenes.

It has gotten better since the last 4 chapters. Mei is showing more emotions, but overall it still feel like it's going in cycles. I'd say it's average, but readable. And I kinda like the latest intimate moments between Yuzu and Mei.
No explanation why Yuzu loves Mei so much ( I guess she is simply her type) but there is an explanation why Mei is like that since the first chapters.

Tbh I feel like Korean manhwas are gaining more and more ground over mangas. Japanese need to change some patterns in their storytelling imo. Not for all manga, but mostly for romance. This genre needs more realism imo. And mangas use very specific types of characters a lot. The shy one, the cold one etc (tsundere, Kuundere etc)

Wdtfs was indeed unique, but they messed up in the third arc. Imo it would be better if the story stayed as short as they originally planned it to be. Or make the story around Sumin and Syngji relationship. Now everytime they appear, it is to have sex. How is that good writing for a main couple. And only Seju keeps the story going.

Honestly I think that the author added Sue to spice the erotic scenes scenes up as well. Because Pulse is quite heavily based on these too, besides the story.
Also to create drama between Mel and Sue. My guess is she wants to get back at Mel via using Olivia.
So I think these two things are the reason why Sue exists. At least to me it is more interesting than the abusive husband chapter.
