#Chanyang

Chanyang's expression while Nari holds his face is giving Colin Bridgerton when Penelope touches his hair. I just can't with them 😭

Also "a miracle happened".

Odd girl out single handedly curing the second lead syndrome😩❤️

[purple-dragon]

i understand the point odd girl out was trying to make with chanyang and the egg but come on. using an egg metaphor? with it cracking and him finally establishing his own identity? be so fr

[obssessive101]

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!?!?!?!!?

[ladyelainehilfur]

he a runner, he a track star

but seriously, no!! comeback!!! 🤣

[stuffedtoytiger]

GUYS!!! She did it. She’s with Chanyang now

omg Nari chose someone

I can’t 🥺

[ukiaes]

i still keep up with odd girl out but part 2 is just a little frustrating because nari's friends got sooo sidelined :( also i'm team seungha over chanyang so this is just not panning out the way i expected at all

It really feels like Nari and Chanyang are gonna be endgame so I just wanted to say that I will always be a Nari and Seungha fan

[thatalmostopsorceress]

how i feel after not catching up with orv but still thinking about it daily:

why i will always be a seungha defender

so i've been reading odd girl out on webtoon ever since it was translated officially into english and while i will always love s1 more, i have so much to say about the s2 love triangle... especially that...

i truly still like seungha more than chanyang, and seungha is way too criticized, especially by the webtoon comment section

so the main reason why people are mad at seungha is because he ignored and pushed her away while going through a major family event, and while i too also disagreed how he dealt with it all, i ultimately feel for him as someone who has an avoidant attachment style.

however, people seem to forget this and view seungha as completely awful in comparison to chanyang, who dealt with his family issues with nari by his side.

i have many issues with this. for one, just because someone has an avoidant attachment style does not mean that they are a bad person. in seungha's case (as in many cases), it stems from how he had no one to trust in his household, from his brother abusing him to his father ignoring his personal troubles to even his mother for not telling him the truth about his birth.

(and again, this is a teenage boy. they are not all going to be mature and secure in life when this is a time when literally everything is changing)

this brings me into the second issue. while both seungha and chanyang have familial events, people often believe that chanyang is ultimately the better choice because of how he dealt with his. however, chanyang's and seungha's hardships were instead vastly different.

to paraphrase from this naver comment section, although both boys have been mistreated, chanyang has money, a (more) united family, and ultimately, his sisters have his back. in contrast, seungha doesn't even know who his real mom is (uprooting his identity), is afraid of being abandoned by the people he thought loved him the most, was harassed and threatened every day by his own brother, and ultimately decided to move away from home.

in my opinion, their situations are very unbalanced, so you cannot expect them to react the same way.

while seungha is more avoidant, he also didn't want to drag nari into his family mess. keep in mind that his brother literally threatened him to break up with her, and his father was very hard on him about keeping up with his studies.

also, at the time of the breakup, his family didn't know that yunha was destroying his stuff, and thought that seungha was the one with the mental problem--which must have caused even more unimaginable stress on his part.

^^ (literally this chapter breaks my heart and makes you realize just how vast his problems were at the time and why he felt like he couldn't accept nari's proposal)

also, his problems were so extremely personal. not only that but in mind that he and nari had barely been dating--i don't even know how i would tell my closest friends that it turns out i'm actually adopted. so many people in the webtoon section think that seungha is too up in nari's face yet simultaneously hate on him for being too detached.

(like whenever in the recent episodes seungha appears and is blushing/is happy while talking to nari, people beg him to move on... he just had his first love amidst the lowest point of his life and only truly realized how nari was trying to help once he was out of that headspace... of course he has lingering feelings and regret, especially since it's been what only a few months since they broke up)

finally, the reason why he wanted to become student president was yes, to measure up to his father, but also because he believed that he could be with nari if he was. it wasn't just bc he wanted to hurt her by teaming up with yurim.

so to argue against all of the people hating him because of who he is, seungha didn't treat nari the way he did just because he's a bad person; rather, he was stretched to his limits while external pressures (father/brother) were pushing him to break up with nari.

by the way, all of this isn't to say that i think nari should end up with seungha. i do think that nari was right to break up with him. seungha was going through a lot, but he hurt nari and gave her no explanation. she owes him nothing.

i do, however, think that seungha and nari had an amazing dynamic when they were together, and i truly miss what they had. to be honest, i think that seungha is a more fleshed-out character, and his personality just resonates with me more. (also, when seeing it from seungha's pov, it hurts to see how nari's feelings have completely faded... sob).

i'm not a chanyang hater by any means, but i do feel like most people gloss over the major flaws of him (though i admit, some of it may be attributed to the writing and not "him" as a character). for instance, i lowkey agree with the popular sentiment that he is kinda pushy and focuses too much on nari. don't wanna cover this in too much detail right now because i think i would need to reread the webtoon so i don't misinterpret anything, but in the end, i also don't really like him and nari together.

best case scenario is that nari ends her high school life stress free of relationship problems and having fun with her girls (which by the way, i hate that they're basically background characters at this point... like surely their lives could somehow be tied relevantly to the main plot a bit more)

(secret best case scenario is nari meeting seungha again in uni or after and they try again and form a healthy and secure relationship together...)

so tldr ;; seungha's lore and character seems to have flown out of most people's heads LOL but to be expected with such a long series

but yea, i've been wanting to get this out of my head for a while now! again, i've been reading odd girl out for quite a few years now, and i've grown quite attached to nari. also, honestly, my switch-up is crazy.... when nari x seungha were a thing, i was a chanyang girl because i liked his quiet moments of showing how he liked her and supported her, but then we learned about seungha and i found that i lowkey didn't like chanyang's tactics of wining nari's heart nor their dynamic as much.... tis the curse of a forever second-male-lead love T_T
