So, tackling the Haunted by Desire - Side Story chapter had readers in for a surprise! Many were initially scratching their heads, thinking their app glitched or they'd skipped chapters because BAM! sudden modern AU! ๐๏ธ
But confusion quickly turned to delight! The overwhelming consensus? Everyone looks *fine*! ๐ Especially Dohui, who's getting major "damn he's hot" vibes in his modern attire and suit. Readers are loving the art style and seeing the characters with actual hair for a change. Seongjae is also noted as adorable, and the office dynamic for the first couple is a hit.
The highlight for many was seeing the second couple, Beom and Sooyeon, in this timeline. There's a lot of happiness that they appear healthy and consensual here โค๏ธ. However, their complex, tragic, and frankly problematic history (incest, trauma) in the main story sparks debate, with many *really* hoping they aren't brothers in this AU and acknowledging the discomfort despite loving the modern look. ๐ค
Overall, this Haunted by Desire - Side Story Christmas special was a refreshing break, leaving readers wanting a whole modern series just like this! โจ
