Nothing is more predictable and less groundbreaking than people acting like adaptations should follow the exact seasonal structure of the source material
Screenwriters have scissors to cut and paste. They can snip the gay couple from season 2, grab the gay couple from season 1, and paste them together in the same season
You're all a broken record of indifference to the straight couple's "5 minutes" of fame (or shame). "Who cares?…
We "won" (debatable) with the representation, but I wouldn't confuse winning with forcing side characters into relationships for the sake of it
The main purpose of Chan Yeong and Ji Yu is to support Hee Su, and their friendship is enough. Side characters shouldn't take over the plot with their own storyline
You're all a broken record of indifference to the straight couple's "5 minutes" of fame (or shame). "Who cares?…
It’s equally natural for Chan Yeong and Ji Yu to be friends, teammates, and Hee Su’s biggest supporters. Not every relationship has to be non-platonic
Chan Yeong teaming up with Ji Yu doesn’t translate to a non-platonic relationship. Unless you want me to put a ring on every group project partner I’ve teamed up with. We did bond over the shared misery of deadlines and instant noodles. Is that wedding bells material to you?
"Chan yeong isn't gay in the webtoon"
According to the other comments, he's bi, from the author's other work (Seeing Double)
My two-cents. The other gay couple isn't even in the first installment of the novel. It would completely mess…

They were hinted at in your opinion, the author didn't confirm anything. As far as the canon (source material) goes, Chan Yeong and Ji Yu are just friends, nothing more. They're not the stars of the show to end up together
"Right now this is all about Heesu and it should stay that way"
Then they shouldn't make it about Chan Yeong and Ji Yu and mess it up by shoehorning a straight story between them. This isn't their story
100% ,,!! People screaming gay erasure will be in a rude awakening if they live in the US where current admin…
"We will all be looking at straight, male-dominated shows"
That’s the cursed "default" everywhere
The playing field has been skewed toward straight stories for a long time. Straight identifying people want everything to be about them. Narcissism at its finest
From now on, every piece of media should include a legally mandated five-minute dialogue about gay people's greatness to teach straight identifying people a lesson
Theoretically you can say whatever but real life doesn't work that wayPeople do have definitions of beauty and…
Not all popular people are good-looking. They're propped up by wealth, make-up, surgeries, marketing, industry nepotism, and social biases
Have you met teenagers? They roast their friend’s existence and buy them a soda five minutes later. They don't care about how the friend feels, or that their "banter" sticks with the friend for life and wrecks their self-esteem
oh man, the people writing essays in the comment section... i'm pretty sure it took you guys longer to type all…
Character development shouldn’t come with a side of "here’s your mandatory dose of straight validation." A cynical person wouldn't be happy about something they know is disingenuous and manipulative
You're going to compromise artistic integrity for financial gain, why half-ass it and stop at the straight story? Go all-in and add some high-flying superheroes, car chases, fight scenes, and spontaneous musical numbers. They'll have investors throwing money at the screen
reading the comments I think I have figured it out there is this one person who is using different accounts to…
You're all a broken record of indifference to the straight couple's "5 minutes" of fame (or shame). "Who cares? They managed a measly 300 seconds of screentime!"
Are you a bunch of malfunctioning bots programmed to defend the lackluster straight couple? Or are you one persistent person with a bad disguise collection and too much time on their hands?
Screenwriters have scissors to cut and paste. They can snip the gay couple from season 2, grab the gay couple from season 1, and paste them together in the same season
Teenagers are callous and unkind, poking fun at people's appearances. Their teasing is damaging and shouldn't be condoned
The author confirmed it
The main purpose of Chan Yeong and Ji Yu is to support Hee Su, and their friendship is enough. Side characters shouldn't take over the plot with their own storyline
The second storyline is extra calories, no one asked for it
Chan Yeong teaming up with Ji Yu doesn’t translate to a non-platonic relationship. Unless you want me to put a ring on every group project partner I’ve teamed up with. We did bond over the shared misery of deadlines and instant noodles. Is that wedding bells material to you?

They could've mixed and matched elements from both timelines
