It worth mentioning that the tattoo is a Kerria (japanica) flower, that represnts unforgetable love ( amongst other meanings such as unfruitfulness of something that appears to be rich and a sympol of winter as well)

And goes way back in Japenese poetery about two women in love.

That is interesting. Do you have a link to where you read that? I only found things about wealth and prosperity.

I'm about to ask that, cau you give us the link?

Hm.
Flowers are given layers of symbolic wrapping in Japanese culture. The wisteria, for example, epitomizes courtly elegance; the plum is associated with scholars; and the cherry blossom is the essence of evanescent beauty. The yamabuki is not so celebrated as any of these, but connotes freshness and innocence. A poem from the Man'yôshû, Japan's earliest collection of verses, speaks of an unforgettable woman "as beautiful as the fragrance of the yamabuki" (yamabuki no nihoheru imo).

The poem though was about such woman :) to me it looks like she might've chosen this flower to symbolize a fresh start or sth like that.

Such a pity that the author didnt create the flashback about when Sumin got this tattoo and how she came up with this design :).

^It'll probably be explained when she finally opens up to Sungji - she has to. Maybe even with a tiny flashback.

Btw, it had to hurt a lot, doing a tattoo on scars...

It is all up to your personal interpretation.. but it is a beautiful tattoo, worth of the emphasis that Gaji made.

Sumin appears to be good in languages, specifically japanese as her co-worker depended on her for translation in Japan.
I assume that Sumin knew the meaning from japanese poetry. It will be nice too to see Sumin tell the story.

It really depends to be honest. Some people say it hurts others don't

I look up to The tale of Genji in the link, instead of focusing on the symbols or words in that link and that story's plot is interesting =))))) or should I say, wdtfs is inspired by this tale? I positively believe so =)))))). Especially about forbidden love and have a lot of love affairs to forget thaf love, you guys should read it.

There is definitely an influence but the story is way more complex than WDTFS.

Would it be so shocking and unbelievable if Sumin and Seju end up together?

I don't think it would be shocking or unbelievable. There are things they'd need to address before i thought it was a good idea though but then people make choices that confuse others all the time.

I'm now to the point that I only wish for just one scene, even if it's just a one last scene of story, I want to see a genuine happy Seju in someone's arms, someone she loves, no matter who that is and I'll be contented. I only ask for one scene, just one simple scene.

It would be "yes" for me considering how she could do a 180 degree turn like a jerk.

It amazed me to no end when there is a website called Lezhin contains bunch of lgbt comics when as fas as I know, Korea is a very narrow-minded country where gays and lesbians are shunned from the public. But Lezhin gets so big in such short amount of time. They even have a Lezhin event where they invited Mamamo and Eric Nam, those are kpop stars @@. It's just amazing

I think Korean society is changing. They've never made same-sex sexual relations illegal unlike India. Same-sex marriage is still illegal in Korea though but life partnership has been proposed.

I think some of them seem to want Seju to get with Sumin because they think Seju deserves it not that they love Sumin lol.

Edit: In the same way some Sungji fans think she deserves Sumin.

But dont hate Sumin though :), they might think Sumin doesnt deserve that love since she's selfish but Seju's also selfish =)))), except Sungji, the angel =)))). Teampink fans mostly love Seju more, like Sumin enough :) or like them both, not really hate Sumin :), and in fact, I also dont hate her that much =)))), just dont like her most among all three =))), if I hate her, I could've wish for SejuxSungji both leave her =)))))))
