While Enrique seems to be the more proactive one in their interactions, Dok Mi’s gift to Enrique is the way she sees him for his real self, knows him, and still accepts him. You hide in a space that’s all your own, and close your heart. We see the significance to Enrique in his autobiography, where he writes, “When rejected by the person you love most, when betrayed by the person closest to you – that’s when self-abasement begins. We see this too, when Enrique is most concerned about Dok Mi misunderstanding him, when the handphone thief uploads couply photos of him with Seo Young. He cares about what Dok Mi thinks about him, not what other people think of him. So while Jin Rak was never going to get the girl, he does learn to put away his rose-colored lenses and see love with more insightful eyes.Ĭalling me a hollow shell? That’s a bit harsh. I’ll just take it that you said those words so you can cut me out of your life… so I’ll cut you out of mine too.”Įnrique is more hurt by the notion of Dok Mi not seeing him for his true self, rather than the opinions of others that she throws at him. It is also pretty gratifying to see the outwardly more mature Jin Rak actually learn about the real meaning of love from young puppy Enrique. Jin Rak’s reactive nature, combined with his jealousy towards Enrique’s interactions with Dok Mi, translates into quite a bit of passive-aggressive behavior, like in episode 3 when he draws dark circles and a beard on the webtoon version of Enrique.
Enrique seems to genuinely want to be his friend. Well, reluctant from where Jin Rak’s standing, anyway. Jin Rak’s weak attempts at protest are consistently mowed over by Enrique’s eager chatter, and the two become reluctant friends.

This book is full of tension, intrigue, and mystery, making it impossible to put down.As the two men vying for Dok Mi’s attention and affection, one might expect them to be highly overtly combative, but Jin Rak’s sense of propriety and decorum, which seems mostly powered by wimpishness, is no match for Enrique’s persistently friendly, talk-a-mile-a-minute, never-give-up, wide-eyed puppy ways.
