Here's to hoping Lim actually finishes this instead of leaving us in the dirt like last time.

He has said in his blog that he wants to finish this, so don't worry. It'll be concluded.

Moreover- we know from begining who will be final pair, she loves him and he loves her... Manga have 74 chapters, but he still cant get girl... Then where is difference between him and a lot of harem main heroes? End here and there is always the same- 100+ chapters till hero get girl- where are his balls now? For me its good that he drop this series for now and can focus on his better works... |

I can't believe I have to explain this to someone: The difference between him and your typical shounen romance harem-idiot is that Jin-Ho actually has to overcome a REAL problem, it's not dumb teenage-angst that keeps them apart. So in turn, the author gives him a personality that can actually function in the real world. Put the guy from Good Ending in Jin-Ho's shoes and you would get 70 chapters of...absolutely fuckin' nothing because a situation like this is just out of his league. If an emotionally confused Highschool girl almost brings him to his breaking point, how would he deal with a real social taboo in form of a student-teacher relationship? Yeah exactly, he wouldn't. |

I would never do that myself even if she was being an asshole, but that's just cause I'd be acting within my perspective. But I realize, in that specific scene, mine isn't the only valid one. Not to say that him punching her sat all right with me, but I can see the angle he was coming from. |

Like DragoZERO said slapp would be enough... He had a lot better ways to deal with this bitch and he still choose the worst...
Not mine, im not fan of shounen romance harem idiots... I saw student-teacher forbidden relationship in a lot of films, books, mangas... Never liked it, but its only my personal preference... Ofc its more complicated problem then that you can see in typical shounen harem mangas, but try to read seinen mangas or good books and you will see real tragic problems... And ofc they are not only deal with student-teacher taboo all 70+ chapters, did they? Jin Ho probably encounter typical problems in this kind of manga like misunderstandings, love rivals etc If it will be only this one problem it will end fast... And whats real problem? i dont know how it works in Korea, but cant she simply change school and teach in another? Then problem will desapear and it will be nothing bad in this kind of relationship... One thing bother me- in shoujo manga or manhwa student-teacher relationship never is real problem... Main girl usually must overcome typical shoujo problems, but noone care that her love interest or one of love possible interest is her teacher... Ofc shoujo sometimes are idealistic, but its strange that here its really tragic problem and not only in shoujo, but in some shounen or seinen its really not a problem... I dont really like korean dramas... For me korean authors are good in two types of manhwas and comics: - comedy (Zippy Ziggy, Aspirin); - web comics (TOG, Trace, Noblesse, Kubera).

Ah yes the good ole you can't hit girls argument because their girls.
Anyways that bitch got what she deserve. Now she'll know not to fuck with someone ever again. And yes JIN-HO rocks because he's got he's shit together unlike other male leads in shonen romance series. |

Why would Jin Ho slapping a girl be any better than hitting her? Not saying he should just do it any old time he wants, but when she was bloodying up his friend, why slapping over punching. It's interesting to examine that expectation and its consequences: "At most, slap the girl, but don't punch her." What expectations lead to that statement? Is it one of seeing that girl, no matter how awful, unconditionally as a "victim?" Is there something inherent in her identity as female that necessitates her "protection" by a male or at least, necessitates a "softer" way of dealing with her? Does that identity of female intrinsically preclude certain forms of "punishment," like punching, that would be used for a male? And what consequences does it have to think like that? Does it reproduce in a male (and female?) mind the idea/concept of a girl as weak, "naturally" unable to take the hit and needing to be handled more delicately, thereby reinforcing the idea of male as "protector" and "dominant?"
Point is, Jin Ho doesn't approach her as many would, subconsciously seeing her as one who needs to be "defended" only because she's "female." Like I said, he takes a big old hammer to that gender stereotype that's actively at work in many male minds, producing the concepts, identities and qualities of a "girl," and shatters it like glass. We might not take his same approach in the same situation, but I have to admit it's a valid one. As long as he didn't just go around beating up only girls to be a dick. That I would find really objectionable. |

I'd only hit a woman if they approached me in a combative stance like a male.......
more to the point, that's missing the forest for the trees. I was referring to Jin-Ho's character primarily in relationship to Sunsengeem. After a while he is so comfortable with her, that he teases her. It's actually SHE that is all flustered and meandering about, where as Jin-Ho is much more forceful and assertive, just like Carrie pointed out. This is very very uncommon in these types of manga...er manwha stories. It was real refreshing to not see a Keitaro/Tenchi type for like the UMPTEENTH time. You know what'd be cool? If a Korean studio adopted it for anime form, it'd be awesome! |

Did some recon,
DAMN Lim Dal Young is A MACHINE pumping out scenarios. Concepts are generic, but execution is decent over all, I've taken a look at; Unbalancex2 Freezing Kurokami Onihime VS. The Phantom God Chronicles of Miaia After Unbalance, favorites are Kurokami (little girl heavyweight demon boxing for the win!) and Onihime for the funny characters (Rena in particular) and great art. |

To be fair, a lot of the series has already been like that. Remember the class trip? Jin Ho and Hae Young get lost, he almost dies, she gets bit by a snake. Lots of "OH NOES" all around. Nothing new about it in this chapter.
But there's less than a volume left now, I would be very shocked if suddenly Hae Young got killed off. And extremely pissed. |

Be warned though... I understand that while manga generally (though not always) goes for the happy, more often than not harem, ending, especially in a situation like this... manwha is the exact opposite, having a tendency to lean towards the bad, solitude ending
hopefully though, this one won't go that way, and we'll get ourselves a good solid happy relationship ending (well, I can at least hope)
