Seunghaaa 😭😭😭

[ladyelainehilfur]

Yay!! I'm happy to see an Odd Girl Out reader who analyzes the story and really understands the characters (I read your blog post about your fave webtoons). How are you feeling about the hate Seungha is receiving? Many comments under each episode are about Chanyang being the best one for Nari and how Seungha is awful and how they'll drop the story if Chanyang x Nari aren't endgame. The way Morangg is writing Seungha's story saddens me not just because it is a sad story but because the author is incredible in fleshing him out, giving him so much development since the very beginning of season two, but the readers are too caught up on how he broke Nari's heart, refusing to see that Seungha is depressed and suffering just as much. So many shippers are focused on the romance and not the depth of the characters.

first: super sorry for answering this so late. I'm really glad to hear you enjoy reading me ranting about the comics I read :P

I believe the hate Seungha's receiving is from people who strongly relate to Nari and take her heartbreak as theirs. Seungha was in the wrong for refusing to communicate with Nari about his problems, but if Chanyang did the same thing, he might be disliked as well. People just don't like to think a guy they're in a good relationship with will turn on them for any reason, even if the reason is good.

Personally, I do prefer Seungha and Nari be endgame. As far as depth of character, Nari is much more suited to Seungha than Chanyang. We're experiencing Chanyang's backstory right now in the Korean updates, and while he's just as fleshed out as Seungha, his reasons for liking Nari still ring hollow in comparison to Seungha's. They both find her attractive, but like I've stated before, Nari is literally everything to Chanyang. His motivation, his happiness, his reason for living. It's not healthy and I don't want Nari to feel responsible for his growth as a person. He plants himself in various places in her life and some readers don't see that as problematic because his intention is romantic. Chanyang skipping school and running around the city to find her bookbag did display an admirable commitment, but also...that's crazy. Reckless displays of affection can be good, but he did it without thinking. Nari has that kind of influence over him, and that's just not it. I still like him as a character, because he does have a certain simple charm and humor about him, but he's simply not cut out to be a good long-term partner for her.

On the other hand, Seungha's brief time dating Nari without being her boyfriend showed how well they work together as a pair. I've heard people say they had to separate because Nari needed to come into her own as a student leader, and I don't disagree. She hadn't necessarily become reliant on him, but it did truly hurt her when she could no longer depend on him.

I think a lot of readers misinterpreted his decision to team up with Yurim. Admittedly, the optics of running for president against Nari while teamed up with her enemy were horrible. At that point, Seungha's main goal was to become the school president so his dad would "want" him and consider him as good as a biological son. He disregarded Nari's history with Yurim to achieve his goal because he felt had no other choice. He didn't know his parents would love him either way. His arc of coming out with the fact Yunha had been abusing him, and spending time away from his family to find and recenter himself was long. He didn't think Nari would stick around, and he didn't want to drag her through it anyway, so he wrongfully pushed her away instead of confiding in her.

Neither Chanyang nor Seungha are good at talking about their problems and feelings. Chanyang will make drastic decisions to solve his problems without telling the people he should so they're not in the dark, and Seungha does more or less the same. It's too bad that communication is Nari's main pull, because she does NOT like having to play detective. Chanyang could be dating Nari right now if he just told her about his messy family history, and I'm pretty sure she and Seungha would be half way to married if he'd just spilled about the abuse. Yunha would no longer be with us, but it would be a small price to pay.

However, it doesn't erase the good that happened when she and Seungha were on the same page. He met her where she was, he listened to her problems, and he supported her in the PR department when no one else did. He didn't blindly agree with everything she said, and in fact, he often challenged her. When she ignored him due to social pressure, he didn't let his feelings cloud his judgement or let that pressure get between their friendship. Like, when that man wants to fight for something or someone, he fights. He's not currently in the position to impose his feelings upon Nari, and he's not trying to, but they've made up in what has to be one of the cutest, goofiest ways I've seen a pair of characters perfectly suited for each other make up. (Spoiler: they both cried with each other).

I'm not sure what the author's intentions are with either Chanyang or Seungha at this point, but I've got a feeling this upcoming school festival arc is going to play a big role in determining who ends up with who. Nari slowly learning about Chanyang is leading up to something, as well as Seungha openly giving her full control of the organizational committee despite being school president. To me, the willingness to support Nari as a leader, while being a leader himself displays every reason why Seungha should be endgame. Neither of them consider each other above or below each other--they're equal partners.

I'm all for Nari putting herself first and deciding not to date anyone, but I hope she gives turtle-candy-loving, competitive-af, meticulous-date-planning, sometimes-cringe-fail Seungha a chance. I also hope she gathers enough information to give Chanyang a definitive, final answer concerning their relationship.

I just caught up to Odd Girl Out and as much as I sympathize with Yunha, him and his dad can go fuck themselves. He deserved that punch and more. Mama's slap was well deserved and a solid 10/10 and her leaving them is an absolute slay.

I'm so upset that odd girl out built up seungha and nari's relationship since season one and then went "nahhhhhh" and completely dropped it like??? Why not have him deal with his family issues while also giving him and nari a nice relationship????? Why put so much effort in!?!?!?!!?

Odd girl out | The world of my 17 season 2

New season, new cast!

See, Chanyang has also been there for Nari when she was having a hard time. He's also been there to encourage her and lets her be herself around him, even when she's not at her prettiest or most likeable.

But this all also applies to Seungha, in addition to the fact that:

He sits next to her when she has no one else to talk to

He backs her up when no one else will

He's a good academic rival, so they're always pushing each other to be better

He reassures her of his positive feelings towards her

He doesn't let pressure from others define their relationship

He appreciates food just as much as she does

He hypes her up when she's feeling good about herself

He's meticulous about dates

He goes out of his way to help her behind the scene

He doesn't force his feelings on her

He understands she's still susceptible to social pressure and doesn't let it ruin their friendship

He's very communicative (until he isn't 😔)

He doesn't make Nari the center of his life, and is comfortable seeing her with other people

He never claims ownership of her

Visually, he's her type

He lets her make her own decisions without trying to change her mind

He sees her resolve, kindness, and leadership potential

He only distances her as to not drag her into his messes

He's able to accept her feelings, positive or negative

The way he flirts isn't intrusive or stalkerish

He cares a lot about whether she's comfortable around him

He respects Nari's work ethic

And that's why he's endgame and Chanyang isn't.

From the Webtoon "Odd girl out" by Morangji My triangle otp hahaha, please read the webtoon it's about friendship and slice of life, right now the comic has season 2 out with Seungha and Chanyang (the boys in the drawing.) AND SEASON 2 OF THE K-DRAMA IS COMING OUT  Can't wait for it. Fanart made by me, Fenika

Please don't repost without permission or crediting!

[tammychyn]

Finally almost caught up with Odd Girl Out and I love this Webtoon so much.

BUT I hope this love triangle thing doesn’t drag out for too long and we go back to the girls friendship as the main focus again. I really miss it and thought it was refreshing to see a webtoon focus on friendship and daily high school life without much romance drama.

Seungha: What's this? Make-a-wish candle making? Who in the world would wanna do this?

Nari: I do! (It's sounds like fun)

Nari: Which one are you gonna do?

Seungha: ... Make-a-wish candle making.

Nari: Huh?!
