Agree. The story of WDTFS is just downright depressing. I honestly don't know how anyone can look at this couple and be happy for them, especially knowing the selfish things Sumin (black haired girl) did throughout the series.

But hey, its a nice fan art. Not going to take that away from the artist.

I wouldn't consider Sungji to be anymore prettier than Seju. Despite being younger by 10 years, her face looked about the same as her. Give them the same hair color and eyes, and you can say they're pretty much twin sisters.

You know, out of all the sites I've been, this is the most prominent one where readers actually call out Sumin for her shitty behavior and asked the really hard questions. Anywhere else, you criticise their favorite character and you would have these snowflakes jumping down your throat, lol

Even after the story has ended, I never got the impression she learnt her life lesson and has changed for the better. She's still an incredibly selfish person as evident of Will. The only difference compared to the past, she now has an extreme doormat for a girlfriend who will let her do whatever she wishes without being challenged. I mean damn her, I wish I had a partner who lets me take her for granted all the time :D

I think it's because the followers of Sumin love her for her bad girl and womanizing look, they insert themselves into her.
And I agree that she never stopped being her selfish self. But she now she has an angelic girlfriend who forgives a cheating after three weeks and they reconcile with rough sex. Even that scene has quite a misplaced connotation for Sungji's character, that would be called reconnection sex. That's why Sungji tells her that he wants to mark her name on hers, a kind of erasing Seju's traces from her. And as you can see, Sumin didn't even seem to enjoy it.

Remember that the attraction of the angelic blonde begins with Sumin's face, that's why she always wants to see his face during sex.

Hence why I consider Sumin and Sungji relationship to be so shallow. Let's be honest, the blondie didn't exactly fall for her precious team leader because she had the most charming personality ever (that girl has zero charisma). It was as she admitted in the early chapters, because of her good looks. In other words, if she wasn't physically attractive, Sungji wouldn't have bothered giving her a second look lol.

Even if I was a little late to the discussion, I just finished this story this year LOL

I liked some arguments without too much bias or favoritism and pointing out the problems of configuration and continuity of the story. Seju is by far the best character, Sumin the worst, the blonde never felt her as a main character, there was a lot about her that confused me and sometimes her behavior left me analyzing what was real and what was not with her personality.

And I agree that the story began its descent into shit from chapter 50. I felt cheated because I really came to think that this was really a story about understanding, addressing your insecurities, working on them, and seeking forgiveness. Seju and Sumin's relationship had all the potential to have gone in the right direction because there were subtle hints that they loved each other despite all the accumulation of contempt, revenge, and obsession with the past. One of the many problems the story had was that the realistic narrative became eccentrically exaggerated.

I couldn't agree more, Neurotech. I think Gaji missed out on a lot with their relationship, because as you pointed out, there was so much depth. I think the blonde girl was a bit strange for me, because she was so simple - I mean in the sense where there was no complexity or nuance to her character. There was nothing wrong with her, and that's the point, which is what made her uninteresting to me.

And I understand that they did find new partners and are happy in their new relationships, but for me personally, I would have preferred it if Sumin and Seju were together.

Nah, Sumin and Seju should never get back together. Call me old-fashioned but if someone cheated on me, I would never look at them the same way ever again and pretend we still love each other. The moment Seju betrayed Sumin's trust by sleeping with that bartender man, was the final nail in the coffin. But having said that, I can't wrap my head around Sungji who clearly caught her precious team leader getting it on with her ex and still wants to jump back into bed with her. She's either an angel herself or just the biggest fool ever. I'm leaning more to the latter lol.

Sis, what's done is done. My advice, is you let it be and move on. The chance of that narcissistic writer even seeing reasons on how Seju was badly treated or what went wrong with the story, which readers over the past have conveyed towards her, has about the same odds of a meteor landing on Earth to put an end to humanity.

And I doubt we'll be seeing another major work from her. She probably knows she won't be able to make the second series top WDTFS or come anywhere close to replicating its success. Since she's afraid of damaging her reputation, she's contend to play it safe by continue to milk this series.

If you want a GL with great story and characters then I suggest you look no further than Her Tale of Shimchong. Or if you're looking for one with modern setting, there's Blooming Sequence which imo is underrated.

I only read this manhwa recently and I'm very late to the party, but it's so reassuring to find the discussion and to share the view with many. Guess that's what the forums are for.

This way of writing reminds me of Ichigo 100% (one of my youthful mistakes). Great art, started out with fated girl, ended with the bland one, but all so much more interesting compared to the dumb i-dont-get-who-can-love-this protagonist. By the end Sungji seems so much like a third wheel, and the Will side story is the highlight of why Sumin is so hated.

After chapter 50, like people said, I pretty much read for the boobs, and continued till the end for the boobs. Amen.

Same here. The story has been nothing more than a dumpster fire, so I only stuck around for the Yuri porn, mostly for the chance to see more of President's boobs, which I suspect is the main attraction to this series, lol.

I'm newbie just finished Wdtfs. I saw some said the writer mentioned about Seju breaks up with Won? But why? Sumin and Sungji got married but why just want Seju to be a loner? Won is a nice person why thinking of break them off?

Seju didn't actually break up with Won. All the writer suggested from the Q&A, was that there was a possibility it could happen in the future. I mean who knows what the future holds? One of them might get bored and decide to look for another partner, an illness or accident happened or they could actually die old together.

Looks like the writer has deleted her twitter account, apparently didn't appreciate the rude fans. If you ask me, more like she's being a snowflake who can't accept any criticism about her work, wants only praise and money to be thrown at her only, lol.

Out of boredom, I had another look through at this series after a long while. And just when I thought about putting in my own two cents concerning this series (which would mostly be negative), I suddenly decided I can't be bothered lol. It's like that saying goes: "Some things are better left unsaid".

My question is, when's the creator going to make another series? It's been like five years since they made their debut. Are we expecting one more big hit from them or is that it?

All the SuminxSeju flashback didn't help at all. I won't argue with SuminxSungji fans here. I am one of you guys in the beginning but the flashback guys.. it break my heart. Besides SuminxSungji was pretty obvious from the start. What I don't understand is the reason behind showing SuminxSeju's past to the point of making a side story about them. To torture us Team Pink? I just hope that someday Team Gaji decides to make a "what if" sequel...

A SuminxSeju in a different multiverse...

To show how much they used to be madly in love with one another would be the answer. But yeah, it was overdone that made things repetitively boring. Besides, these flashbacks mixing in with the present seem like such a lazy way of storytelling. I much rather see those flashbacks on their own or better yet, having details about their past subtly explained through character dialogues or seeing something in the present.

So, the moral of this story:

If you can't have the girl you wanted, just find a guy and get married. How depressing lol
