Maginot Line with you
[Special Edition] Welcome everyone!
작가
Hello everyone!
작가
I'm a writer
작가
I'm a little scared, but with even greater excitement... (I want to believe so) Shall we start the special edition..?
작가
..Uh... Well, looking back at the period I serialized this work, there were a total of 2 special editions..!
작가
In fact, the author also writes with a bit of dawn emotion when writing, so he doesn't write such detailed emotional lines or content of the work.
작가
Also, this was a special edition that I put out out of concern that readers might be confused about the characters' relationships and inner thoughts!
작가
..At first... I was surprised because the response was better than I expected, and after another big episode, we organized a special episode again.
작가
It seems like they come back sequentially every time a season ends!
작가
It's all thanks to you!!
작가
As of now, after several incidents, the main characters' emotions have all faded away.
작가
They say the late wind is really scary.. Even when I write small things, when I get immersed in it, I feel sorry for myself and I look a bit foolish.. haha😅
작가
Hmm... Is it almost the climax now...? Um... I feel a bit embarrassed saying this... Anyway
작가
If we look at it from the perspective of introduction, development, turn, and conclusion, it will progress to a 'conclusion'.
작가
Don't let it get loose...! Let's walk together with the main characters until the end!!
작가
Long, long ago... Season 2 ended with episode 35, and season 3 consisted of about 15 episodes from episode 36 to episode 50.
작가
..I remember saying this one time
작가
☝️☝️
작가
..How did it get delivered so well...? ...Actually..Just as there is no such thing as perfect, I also regretted hitting the ground while watching this piece the whole time.
작가
....There are a lot of really sloppy parts, the emotional line is crooked and there are things that are missing... ..Now that I look at it, it really makes me cry...
작가
But back then, I would have thought, "Wow, that was well written!!" so I'll just leave it as a memory from back then... heh.. heh....
작가
Anyway, this is getting long... Should we stop now and move on to another topic?! ((Dukheun
작가
In fact, when I was planning a piece, the most central keyword was
작가
Because it was 'wrong love', 'conscience', and 'regret'... I think I recited it three times before writing the piece.
작가
...Now, I'm roughly planning the beginning and the end and starting to fill in the middle.
작가
Ah, this is a waste..!! Like this..
작가
...was active.. ((A person who can't use ordinary romantic comedies because they are boring
작가
..To be honest, I like a calm and thrilling romance.
작가
Moderately exciting, moderately distant, slightly warm and fuzzy is good, but cold and burning is also good... (👈But if it's going to be like this, I'm pursuing hatred)
작가
Anyway, back to the story, it seems like all the relationships that were barely hanging on have ended this season.
작가
Now, the question is who will hold on to that line and live on...
작가
And moreover, the relationship between the three characters was the main focus here.
작가
as soon as
백시혜
Sihye,
전정국
jungkook,
윤여주
This is Yeoju
작가
Hmm... what should I say... this is the first time I've serialized a story without changing the main characters' portraits even once, so I guess I have some affection for them...? ㅋㅋㅋ
작가
..Just... the image I found at the beginning of the work with my teeth clenched together fits so well that I'm laughing to myself while writing it.
작가
Actually, we are planning to do the Q&A you wrote in the comments of the last episode in the latter half of this episode.
작가
I had a similar question back then, so let's talk about it then!
작가
These kids' relationships are actually really complicated.
작가
A relationship that requires a certain amount of compassion and sympathy, but is too proud to admit it, and too guilty to endure it without admitting it.
작가
...um.. well, roughly speaking, Jeong-guk is taking psychiatric medication.. Si-hye is receiving psychological counseling, and Yeo-ju also received treatment in that field a few years ago! That's the kids' background.
작가
They were originally kids who had a hard time because they were mentally ill, and I was portraying how the hand that I held onto as if it were my last, as if it were salvation, ended up being a rotten rope.
작가
In the midst of all this, I wrote while thinking about each person's coping methods and the choices they make when they are really at the bottom of the cliff, such as struggling to survive, self-rationalization, and even running away.
작가
After all, people can't be perfect. They can't always make the right choices or take the right path.
작가
They are not the kind of protagonists who are good in one way, but rather have emotions that should not be felt morally.
작가
These are kids who always mix in the topic of conscience that they have been thinking about, and feel guilty about their own mistakes and regret it on their own.
작가
So... um... a fox that appears in many other works..!
작가
Actually, from the fox's perspective, wouldn't it be seen that the female protagonist, a vixen, entered the novel where she is the main character and interfered with the relationship between the male protagonist and the female protagonist?
작가
...I went on and on about how I wanted to create an ambiguous and uncomfortable relationship where no one could say, "Oh, this guy is a total bad guy!"
작가
...lol
작가
Still, please love our children
작가
As soon as this piece is finished, I will try to create characters that will be missed in your memories!
전정국
In the work)) Jeongguk can be said to be the most selfish
윤여주
A female protagonist who is willing to take care of herself first in an urgent situation, although not as much as Jeong-guk.
백시혜
And the most altruistic charity(?)
작가
When you look at the story, don't just think of it as a cross-sectional, desperate love story between two women over one man...
작가
..I just hope you watch it with a focus on the countless tangled relationships between the characters, the emotions that intersect, and the sincerity that cannot be easily expressed.. well....that's what I hope you watch🙏
작가
There are many stories of two women fighting like that in front of me.
작가
I will continue to write the remaining stories while recalling the feelings I have left behind in writing like this!
작가
Okay...! Uh... Now it's Q&A
작가
...Thank you for writing down these really... really... in-depth questions with such care.
작가
I moved it to the back because it seemed like the content would be too long.
작가
..Actually, even though I am the author of this article, I feel like I have learned more about the work while thinking about your questions and the answers to those questions.
작가
I'm sure there aren't many experiences like this in life, right? Haha. Thanks to you, I feel such a wonderful feeling. Thank you.
작가
Then shall we quickly move on to the questions??
작가
First question
작가
The reason I said what I said earlier👈 was because of this question!
작가
Well... First of all, the reason why the title of episode 50 is 'The Maginot Line with You' is
작가
It's the same reason I called the last episode of Season 2 'The Maginot Line of Each Person'.
작가
First of all, the common point is that both of them have the title of the work, Maginot Line, in their titles, and...their skins...((
작가
Big)) Could this be the day when the feelings of the two (Jungkook & Yeoju) that had been fraying and crushing for a while, filling up and flowing, then bursting and fluttering in an ugly way, reached their end?
작가
One difference is that each person, and with you, feels different at the end. I tried to express that even though the emotions felt at the beginning were different, in the end, we walked the same path.
작가
Just a useless souvenir..?! ..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
작가
And this question! To the question about the female protagonist's inner self secretly accepting Jeong-guk even though she seems to push him away,
작가
I think it's written most blatantly in episodes 44 and 45!
작가
When looking at the relationship between Si-hye and Jeong-guk in isolation, the third party, Yeo-ju, feels relatively distant.
작가
Even though I knew it was obvious, I still felt envious, miserable, and things like that.
작가
But as time goes by, Yeo-ju realizes that Jeong-guk is a bit obsessed with her... or not, but really dependent on her? Well... anyway, she realizes that she can't live without him.
작가
...At that time, while struggling with it, she gradually accepted it, and when she finally apologized to Si-hye directly, the heroine's true feelings were...
작가
I wonder if it was a faint sense of satisfaction and guilt.
작가
Second question!
작가
First of all, the feeling when the two meet again...
작가
Jungkook, who was single, is already married to the female lead. In fact, Jungkook probably wanted to keep his marriage a secret as much as possible.
작가
It's not that he wanted to hide the fact that he was married and meet the female lead, but that marriage was one that he had nothing to brag about.
작가
The heroine's heart must have skipped a beat. The mixture of guilt, shame, and a faint longing must have been quite dizzying and nerve-wracking.
작가
Second! What if Jungkook hadn't gotten married...? Then would Yeo-ju have let him go wherever his heart led him?
작가
..If you are a female protagonist, you have to avoid her little by little because of her situation and what she did 10 years ago.
작가
Well, it's a happy ending after all. It's so perfect, something like that... No, I think those two were really happy.
작가
Compared to Jeongguk, the female lead is less affectionate and is easily embarrassed by small skinships and such.
작가
Jungkook smiles again at the sight of such a female protagonist, finding her cute. He expresses his affection so much that it feels like he's gone back to his high school days! You know that feeling, right? ㅠㅜㅜ
작가
Third! And fourth!
작가
..the meaning of the title is...
작가
I just happened to hear about something called the Maginot Line. It was a line drawn during the war, and if you crossed it, you would die.
작가
..I just wanted to create a story where each character has a causal relationship that connects them and reaches the climax! That's how this piece was completed.
작가
So the title became Maginot Line (Yard) with you... haha
작가
Who do you think is the most pitiful character? The female protagonist..? Si-hye..?
작가
Uh... Actually, I put a little bit of my personality and stuff into these three.
작가
..I feel the most sorry and I feel like it must be really painful for Sihye.. I think it would be so cruel to see the person I loved with all my heart cheating on me.
작가
No to the last question..!
작가
Geo's feelings for the female lead were simply born from curiosity, and he probably thought that if he was going to flirt with a married man like that, he'd rather flirt with me.
작가
Even if it continued, I think it would end within a month. ..and... Jeongguk again........ Yes..
작가
This is the third question 🤗
작가
In fact, there were many small stories in fan fiction that revolved around infidelity.
작가
It was a long time ago, but I also wrote something like that ((a dark history..
작가
But I felt like they were almost all the same. The male lead was cheating, and the female lead was almost always portrayed as the victim, or even the opposite.
작가
Cheating is something that should never be done, and just a dozen years ago, it was punishable as adultery, so I wondered why the person involved didn't feel any guilt.
작가
And what if that situation and those feelings were created out of necessity?
작가
I am an extremely timid citizen of Seoul, so if I had a perfectly healthy boyfriend and developed a romantic interest in someone else, I would feel sorry.
작가
So these thoughts came together to create this piece!
작가
Secondly... I think there is probably a big reason for the latter.
작가
Actually, I read a lot of books when I was young. And I learned a lot from seeing the emotions and situations described by someone who was far more... perfect than me.
작가
I think many of the words and expressions I use in my work probably came from there. ...Um... I tried not to gloss over each and every sentence.
작가
If there was a word or something I was curious about, I looked up the exact meaning in Naver's Korean dictionary and wrote it down. ...Now I'm also reading books... I'm worried that my vocabulary will deteriorate if I don't read them, so I'm looking them up.
작가
I'm embarrassed to say this myself, but... I don't think I have any talent...ㅠㅠ The writing is just the right amount of writing skills, soul, and overflowing dawn emotions, isn't it?
작가
If you enjoyed reading it, I'm so grateful😭
작가
This is the last one!!
작가
The comment was really really long ㅠㅠ
작가
I was worried that your wrists might hurt while watching...
작가
This is Jeongguk's true feelings....
작가
.. In this work, Jeongguk
작가
I'm a bit sensitive and prickly, but my insides are soft and I break easily, so I don't have a glass mentality... but I don't want to live my life being jealous either.
작가
Looking at how he lived for several years, stuck in the past, he is a foolish person who suppresses his emotions as much as possible.
작가
But that doesn't mean he's altruistic, he's a bit selfish and has low self-esteem. In fact, the female protagonist is even more stubborn.
작가
That's how he met Yeoju. ...He must have wanted to do something. He really liked the one-dimensional human character of Yeoju Yoon, and he wanted to express that.
작가
I hid it to some extent, but I never stopped.
작가
In the end, didn't he want to hear the female protagonist say that she loved him too? An admission that his feelings were the same as hers.
작가
Living as a couple with someone you don't love must have been mentally taxing. That's what made Yeoju so unforgettable.
작가
She was so miraculously met, and she was beautiful, and he wanted to keep getting to know her. No, at that time, he must have felt like she was his savior. It was only when he was with Yeo-ju that Jung-kook truly felt like himself.
작가
Because I couldn't let go of that feeling and that love, the situation became like this, and the hasty skinship only made me feel guilty.
작가
This character is someone who loves again, expresses it, lets it rot away, and then regrets it. ㅠㅠ
작가
Anyway, I wanted to be acknowledged for my love. I wanted to be comforted and have something to lean on. That feeling, when I met the female lead, turned into an uncontrollable love...?
작가
Phew...ha...! It's over...
작가
The answer I gave you may not have completely answered your questions.
작가
...If that's the case, please leave a comment in this episode ㅠㅜ
작가
I think this is the first time I've written a fanfic over 6000 characters in 2021 lol
작가
Thank you so much for reading this really long post!
작가
Then the author will come back soon with the next story. Let's stay together until the end!!! Hehe
작가
Thanks again for reading!
작가
Please give me a handshake🤭
Sonting🤗💕
