@povessaz: I think we are so used to the common trope: the black‑haired traumatized ML meets the FL, and suddenly he isn’t traumatized at all — no scars, no fears, no trace of past suffering. Love becomes a shortcut, pain erased in an instant. That’s why Eunhyuk seems foreign. In most manhwas, the male lead’s pain magically disappears once the girl shows up — like love is a shortcut to healing. But Eunhyuk doesn’t work that way. Even after meeting and loving Suae, his trauma stays. The PTSD, the triggers, the fear of abandonment — they don’t vanish, they define him. And that’s what makes him so compelling. His trauma isn’t just there to make the FL look like a savior or soulmate. It’s embedded in his character, part of who he is, part of how he moves through the world. He’s not just written to orbit around romance; he has depth outside being a love interest. And honestly, I will always choose a flawed character over one whose whole purpose revolves around being ‘the love interest.’ Because flaws mean humanity, development, scars that don’t fade overnight. Eunhyuk shows us that love doesn’t erase trauma — it lingers, complicates, and that makes him painfully real. That’s why he’s my favorite — he doesn’t just exist for romance, he brings something real to the story: his character, his scars, his depth. #goeunhyuk #eunhyuk #operationtruelove #manhwa #essazpov

Yk what I don’t want author to pull the “romantic love will heal the trauma” because that’s not true,he went through all of this in his teenage. E has lot of childhood trauma, he’s depressed n su!cidal. Man is high on coffee shots/Alcohol/Medications, it’s concerning(&might be foreshadowing something) especially now that we got to know how his mom’s d!ed. Mind u his mental/physical is still deteriorating n he knows he’s in self destructive mode. He needs therapy, n I really hope author brings up the topic of therapy

Everyone says that Eunhyuk is a complex character and that no one can truly understand him. I’m sorry, but his trauma does not excuse anything! He chose to let his trauma guide his actions and ended up hurting the person he loved the most. Dohwa has his own trauma too, but he never let it hurt Soo-ae.
You might say that Eunhyuk suffered more than Dohwa, but that’s not the point. The fact remains that Eunhyuk made bad choices.

It’s so realistic, everything he’s been through cannot be “cured” with love however he can find support with someone like sooae, someone to be by his side and show him that he is allowed to be loved and it’s okay to not be okay💔

i really don't want them to get together, I know that shes his make believe sanctuary; and with their memories he had something to think about as to escape his reality— but having her now will not solve his issues, nor improve his wellbeing. author if you love eunhyuk you should choose the best for ma boy 💔💔

"b-but he ghosted her for 10 years!" his freaking mother died. why r u reducing him to only be soae's bf? y'all ever lost family members? Moreover ur own parents, shit out 10 years, I'd probably die without them. but these booktok expectations r very laughable, cause wdym "10 year ghosted!" I'll see how y'all stay after u lose someone dear to u, like are we fr

And they call him a coward and selfish, and say he blames all his problems on the FL🥀
They really don't deserve to read a manhwa like this because it's impossible for them to understand it and what the author is trying to convey through Eunhyuk's feelings

people keep hating on the characters and the story, how their not well written, but then complain when something predictable doesn't happen. if you're here just for the romance W fluff , then this manhwa is simply not for you!

jooheon_aegyo94 :
Agree since in reality romantic love itself can’t heal a trauma … that’s why I cannot fully blame Eunhyuk for disappearing for 10 years (his life don’t revolve to a single person — I know that their lack of communication cause pain to Soo Ae in that 10 years but he also suffers in different aspect of his life — losing his mother, father’s scandal, hearing problem which build up and triggers him to think he will just be a burden to Soo Ae when he saw her ignored the call (might seem petty over a missed call but he’s mental and emotional state at that time is so unstable and he’s a TEENAGER)! Hope the author will have a good ending for Eunhyuk, Soo Ae and Dohwa regardless you they end up with

te entiendo eunhyuk porque yo también soy una persona que sufre en silencio, que le da miedo hablar de sus problemas, porque nunca nos enseñaron a hablar de lo que nos pasa, porque nunca hubo un ambiente de confianza en casa, porque muchas veces la gente no entiende lo dañado que te puede dejar tu entorno familiar, porque uno cree que es mejor fingir que no tienes problemas para no terminar siendo una carga para alguien más. El hecho de que perdió a su madre que era la única que sabía y también vivía la misma mierda qué él, y que a parte era su pilar. Nadie tiene el derecho a juzgar a una persona si nunca han vivido algo así, y aunque lo hayan vivido cada uno vive sus duelos de distintas maneras, pero los duelos que uno vive como hijo de padres inestables siempre será uno de los más dolorosos, porque esos son los que te marcan de por vida, porque uno no se terapea para superar esos temas, uno terapea para aprender a vivir con ellos para siempre, pero llegar a tomar la decisión de tomar terapea también es otro punto en el que uno debe caer en cuenta que de verdad necesitas ayuda, y si tal como eunhyuk el nunca a sabido como pedir ayuda. :(

Siempre team Eunhyeok
Qué dolor y sufrimiento más grande por el que paso todos estos años, solo la imagen de Suae lo consolaba, añoraba estar con ella pero no quería arruinar la felicidad de ella, lamentablemente él no sabía que solo se estaban haciendo miserables los dos 😭😭😭😭😭.

Con estos capítulos note que muchas personas no dimensionan el trauma de este personaje, sigue cargando con mucho y en la vida real hay casos de personas que se niegan a pedir ayudar, se hunden en sus traumas, problemas y sobretodo se alejan de las personas que aman por temor de arrastrarlos con sus problemas tal como el personaje de Eu 💔

trust me, dealin w trauma is that hard, it’s so real for me… n it’s true that love can’t just erase trauma like it never happened. when i love someone, i’m actually scared of bringin them into my darkest space. scared to start talkin, confused where to even begin, terrified of their reaction, n scared of the shadows in my head. i’m scared openin up will just burden them—they feel like they’re from a whole diff world. my messy head makes everything so damn hard, n words alone can’t even describe it. so guys, lettin go of trauma isn’t easy at all, it often stops me from thinkin positive about anything… i just hope u guys understand a bit more. n to the one i love, if u’re readin this, i’m sorry. it’s not that i don’t love u, i’m just not ready yet.
