Question Is this series even worth it?

Post image

I remember reading I love Yoo like a long time ago, like right during the pandemic but it's all blur now. I wanna try re-reading but from what I heard this series hasn't really progressed at all. Its been like 290+ chapters and it's being dragged to hell. Not even most action series have this much space.

Maybe i should just re-read purple hyacinth instead

Thare IS a triangle , wdym ? 😂 You probably talking about when relationship is established but not the drama with hopping on from one to another in between seasons and change the dynamics

The only triangle that could be a thing is Dieter-Shin Ae-Nol and that's if Dieter's crush isn't one-sided but mutual AND he hasn't given up on it. But the story as whole up until this point? No real triangles because it's not a romance story. It's a coming of age story..

Idk where it’s at now but there is no chance you can say the story doesn’t have a love triangle, I mean hell look at the cover art lol, they might have dropped it at some
Point but there was absolutely a love triangle to start and that was a big part of the initial premise

The black haired guy is 24 while the female lead is 17, btw. There being a trio as main characters doesn't indicate it's a love triangle. The same way Fruits Basket doesn't have a love triangle with the main trio of Tohru, Kyo and Yuki. It's a trope for sure! And both stories end up flipping the script on you by subverting expectations. Like Yuki actually craving maternal love from Tohru and Kousuke seeing his little brother Nol in Shin-ae, treating her better out of guilt.

This isn't just readers pushing a false narrative on you...it's really shown with a lot of early perceived "romantic" moments with Kousuke. There was always another layer to them that easily got overlooked by romantic interpretations. (Shin-ae talking about her father whenever Kousuke would just stare at her because of his distant relationship to his father, Kousuke remembering rejecting Nol's gifts when he got a gift by Shin-ae, "Don't call me brother" to Nol -> "Call me Kousuke" to Shin-ae etc.)
