Countdown to Love — Chapter 17

Whew, things got *intense* in Countdown to Love, Episode 16! 😱 Readers are absolutely split, but mostly unified in their frustration. The main target of collective ire? Namu! His confrontational tactics and especially that "low blow" about Hoon quitting basketball really rubbed people the wrong way. Many feel he massively overstepped, with comments like, "You can't force someone to come out!" and "That basketball comment was below the belt."

Meanwhile, Hoon's struggles with his sexuality hit home for many. Readers empathize with his denial, recognizing that "Hoon is DEEP in denial" and needs time to understand his feelings. While some agree Namu might be trying to protect Haedam, the consensus is it was a "lose-lose" chapter. Everyone's just wishing Hoon and Haedam would finally get together and leave the drama behind! 😭
