Ngl, I kinda don't want Ijin to end up dating anyone. Like i know its probably going to happen with Yuna eventually (I really like her so i would mind it i guess?) due to how much they emphasize her crush. He just seems so aro-ace to me. I know that can be explained by lacking human interaction, but he noticed he loved his family pretty quickly so if he was attracted women (in the standard het way that most comics go for in action) then he would have at least noticed they were attractive on an objective level. I want him to have his family centric life without dating. (Idk I'm probably biased since I don't like how most romances are written anyway)
Nah same here,, like it would be one thing if him not showing interest in people was due to the genre and not wanting romance to be the focus, but with the rest of his friends either having crushes or just admitting that they find someone attractive it makes an interesting juxtaposition where Ijin doesn't experience that at all.
Like, even 032 seemed to be developing a crush on Dayeon, so Ijin- having grown up in the same environment- still not noticing the attractiveness of anyone really stands out.
At the same time I don't really see the Ijin/Yuna relationship going anywhere. It does seem like it should be being set up, but we're over 100 chapters in and it's still completely one-sided. You'd think at this point Ijin would have developed at least some feelings for her. There was even the opportunity for that to happen and for them to become closer romantically during the Yeongho arc, but no development occurred between them that wasn't there already. So unless they're going for an extremely slow-burn, the story remaining family-centric seems pretty secure for now.
#dude i could talk about ijin forever#i think he's so interesting as a character esp compared to other action protagonists#it could also be that there's not going to be any romance for Ijin and all these ladies having a crush on him is just to play into#Ijin being the 'cool action hero who is catnip for women' trope#but also samesies about disliking the writing of most romance#it's very rarely done in a way that i find interesting or engaging or in a way that feels natural#mercenary enrollment#also samesies about liking Yuna#i wish they did more to give her depth
