Potential sunwoo jealously arc:thonk:

I agree with Jason, it's quite the request to have someone look at you like you're nothing while playing the piano. She'll probably just end up explaining that she has stage fright to the 10th degree

I don't mind this character archetype, but I do think she's showing up at a pretty awkward time. Jin-Yong and Sunwoo are in this weird limbo where neither of them can really move forward until Sunwoo deals with the baggage she's carrying.

Jin-Yong is actively trying to break down the walls she's built around herself and understand the trauma behind them. At the same time, Sunwoo is clearly starting to realise she has feelings for him, but she's scared of confronting them because opening her heart also means reopening old wounds. That's a pretty important stage of their relationship.

So throwing a new girl into the mix right now feels a little problematic. I can definitely see her being used as a plot device to force Sunwoo to stop running away from her feelings and finally "claim" Jin-Yong. Even though I'm not a fan of developments like this, if that's the direction the author is going, I just hope the new girl is more of a catalyst than an actual "love rival," (even if Jin-Yong doesn't see her that way) because I think Jin-Yong and Sunwoo already have more than enough emotional ground left to cover.

Thanks for the translation!
