Uhm, this is just my opinion and would probably got a lot of disagreements but the more I read, the more I don't understand Seju's character. It feels like even the author couldn't decide what kind of real character Seju could go for
- She is supposed to be the evil one, the antagonist but her actions has never been strong enough. Aside for the cheating stunt and her pep talk to Sungji, she has always been on the sideline and watching, and in the arc 3, with the first chap of the arc when she cut her hair, I really thought she would go on full mode of evil ex gf character but as of now, she lets Sumin do everything she wants, even with leaving her, selling the house... She didn't do anything much @@. So weird
simply bcz its not a superhero or a conventional movie, that's why you see actions that has motives behind them and not necessarily black or white.
I doubt it was ever designed to be an evil antagonist character, if you read her dialogues closely it will appear to you that her actions are not satanic but very human.
" the hair cut" is not a full evil power mood, it has a deep meaning for females specially .. it signalises the woman desire for change and getting stronger (could also mean letting go, or even claiming dominance)..
look around, most women cut their hair right before making life changing decisions (such as divorce or long-term breakups )
in the case of Seju and Sumin characters Team Gaji made great effort in term of their body language and non-lexical communication .
- Seju doesn't tell any hardships she is going through to Sumin, proven by this chapter. Such a dignity @@. She doesn't run to Sumin, ask for comfort, doesn't talk about her difficult time. Imagine it, if you're the one desperately wanting things to go back, shouldn't you go talk everything to the other girl to ask for sth comfort, some pitiness? Seju doesn't want to be pitied by Sumin. So dignity, compare to how she used the lowest trick to Sungji to make them break up.
well, she did not know how the ending of that chapter would look like, still Sumin told her in ch 74 ( that she does not care anymore).. Seju gets the message. and in the matter of fact, Summin is the one who called her in this chapter (I think to finalise the matter in ch 74)
never ever has Seju stopped Summin from doing what she wanted.. but she is always there whenever Summin needs her.
Seju is one heck of a puzzle that I could never understand what is the real intention of the author for her. The bad in her was blatantly showed to make her look bad while other good things are so subtle that you doubt it there and the author could twist her all the way she wants
again, look at all characters as imperfect humans and not idealistic.. they make mistakes and they have desires that does not make them totally wrong or right.
given the history, the promises and what are those two to each other.. you would understand why they act this way towards each other
they are everything left to each other in this world with no families or whatsoever, combine this with a long-term great love that even both of them do not know how to deal with it
it kills me in Ch 54 when Sumin says: the chairman will be relieved to have you by his side
Seju's comment was (yes, bcz I am also his family)
kinowing the scene in ch 19 when Sumin promised to be her Family and her reaction in ch 54.. you would know it is not just a crazy ex stuck in the past
