Maginot Line with you

[Special Edition] Here's the commentary! Please come in.

작가

Hello, readers!

작가

...The special episode that promised to return soon... has finally returned, exhausted and weary from the fierce competition of modern life.

작가

I feel deeply sorry for many reasons, so let's cut to the chase and get straight to the point!

작가

First of all, our work ended season 2 with episode 35 and season 3 began.

작가

If Season 1 was about the awareness of emotions, and Season 2 was about the expression of those emotions,

작가

Season 3 is going to deal a lot with the fallout from that expression.

작가

Because the main characters don't reveal their inner feelings, but rather hold them in and then burst out all at once...

작가

I hope you won't be confused by the situations that are about to unfold, so I'll write a few words, even though it's a bit off-topic.

작가

First, let me introduce the characters. There are a lot of new characters compared to before,

전정국

Jeon Jungkook / 30 years old

윤여주

Yoon Yeo-ju / 30 years old

백시혜

Baek Si-hye / 30 years old

윤이준

Yoon Yi-jun / Yeo-ju's older brother / 33 years old

정국 / 모

Jeongguk / Mo

전정혁

Jeon Jeong-hyeok / Jeong-guk's older brother / 32 years old

이지오

Lee Ji-oh / Yeoju cafe coworker / 25 years old

차혜정

Cha Hye-jeong / Yeoju Cafe Owner / 35 years old

작가

These are the characters that will appear in this work without any major changes from the previous series to the one that will be serialized now.

작가

Since the main characters are all relatively old, you might feel a bit of a disconnect...

작가

I think this is the age group that will feel the most immersed in the atmosphere of the work.

작가

Let's introduce the characters for now! That's all for now,

작가

Now, shall we delve a little deeper into the story?

작가

I always have so much to say, but when I actually start typing, I find myself at a loss for words...

작가

Anyway, the first thing I want to talk about is the relationship between Jeongguk and Sihye, which was the most talked about topic in the comments.

작가

Of course, it's my fault too.. haha. Actually, I didn't draw a clear line. It's something I never mentioned in the work.

작가

There was probably something like this written in the comments, "Divorce is one thing, but why can't Jeongguk shake off Sihye?"

작가

There were posts like, “Why can’t you organize? Why can’t you draw a line?”

작가

In fact, the biggest reason for these things is because the two's marriage included Jeongguk's will.

작가

Although it is not revealed in the work, Si-hye continued to hit on Jeong-guk from the time she first met him when she was 19 until her early 20s.

작가

Well, Jungkook ignored it at first. But the older you get, the more difficult it is to find a job.

작가

Sometimes it's intentional, sometimes it's a real coincidence, sometimes it's my fault, etc.

작가

Now, as things are going on, Jeong-guk, who is becoming anxious, learns in passing that Si-hye's father is the president of a relatively large company.

작가

So I got married as if I was being chased.

작가

...A marriage scam that I committed without knowing what was going on.....?

작가

Sihye's love, which I had dismissed as just a one-time emotion, was deeper than I thought.

작가

Contrary to Jeong-guk's expectations that he would eventually let go of her if he ignored her several times, his indifferent behavior made Si-hye yearn for him even more.

작가

When I found out about the situation, it got out of hand, and I wanted to leave her, but I couldn't bring myself to do it because of my own selfishness and guilt.

작가

Such a twisted and tangled relationship was formed.

작가

Haha... I wrote it down, but it's a mess... haha

작가

Anyway..! And second,

작가

What I have been talking about from the beginning is wrong love.

작가

Love that is directed in the wrong direction usually ruins the relationship.

작가

I've applied five or six examples of flawed love to this person's relationship with another person. I'm only just now realizing it.

작가

First, Jeongguk➡️Yeoju

작가

This is the most common and well-known affair. The relationship between these two...

작가

And second, Lee Jun➡️Yeoju

작가

This love, what should I call it? I wanted to express one-sided love. A similar, yet different concept is gaslighting...?

작가

I acted like this because I loved you! ..That's kind of the relationship.

작가

Third, Jungkook's mother➡️Jungkook

작가

This is a love that demands something in return. I love and cherish this person to get what I want...

작가

....But if that fails, that love turns into hate.

작가

The love that is similar to that is the fourth, Sihye➡️Jeongguk,

작가

This is... what should I call divine love. God is served and worshipped, you know.

작가

A love that grows so much and longs for someone that it deifies that person as if they were a god...?

작가

If you pray to God and give everything, there should be some kind of result that comes back to you, but there isn't.

작가

...eventually, you will feel a greater sense of betrayal and the love will be distorted.

작가

Lastly, it is Sihye Bu➡️Sihye.

작가

I wanted to express the distorted fatherly love.

작가

A love that turns a blind eye to even the wrong things because you love that person so much.

작가

....Everyone is equally frustrated and going crazy.. ((Emancipation

작가

Now, as we enter Season 3, there is a character that has come to the forefront.

작가

This is Jeong-hyeok Jeon, Jeong-guk's older brother.

전정혁

^^

작가

While most of my characters have a good understanding of their psychology, I actually don't know this person either... haha.

작가

You have a story about a former prosecutor who was imprisoned for corruption and then released on bail.

작가

He's a bad guy, by all accounts. But he's also sly. He has the makings of a conman.

작가

I support this person's law-abiding spirit...! I really hope he regrets it and lives a little longer.... Haha...

작가

Lastly, I'd like to say a few words about the main emotions and situations that will unfold in Season 3, which will begin in the next episode.

작가

Actually, when I write this piece, I try to write it exactly to fit this case.

작가

Because of this person's actions or words, I felt these emotions, and because of those emotions, I acted in this way, and because of those actions, I felt these emotions in the situation that unfolded...

작가

It's a bit complicated, actually...

작가

This season 3 is a cycle of regret, anger, acceptance, and then more regret, more regret.

작가

To cover up the sins we have committed, we objectify ourselves, we do it again, we regret, we try to repent, we get angry, and we accept that anger.

작가

Spoiler..? But you'll cry a lot..... The main characters,

작가

Perhaps these previous stories were the happiest moments.

작가

I've said this before, but it seems closer to a wasteland than a small romance lol

작가

For those of you who want to see a dark romance filled with heartbreaking guilt, suffering, and regret while struggling with the swirling emotions...

작가

Come here... hahahahahaha

작가

It's not a very pleasant story.

작가

..Still, I will do my best to continue the series until the end with the thought that once something starts, it has to end!

작가

This is the first time I've written more than 3,000 characters of author's notes alone.

작가

I would like the comments section here to be as free as possible.

작가

If you have any personal criticisms of the characters, suggestions for improvement, questions, or anything else, please feel free to leave them.

작가

I hope there is not even a single thing you do not understand, and I, the author who has poured my all into this, will now step aside.

작가

Sonting..! Please, please 😭

Sonting!!😳
