The Operation True love Controversy

 Honestly, I am a mess right now because of the sucking Love triangle, True Beauty controversy.

So let's start with the Introduction. 

Operation: True Love — The Story So Far

        This story begins when Shim Su Ae was dating her boyfriend in high school.

And then? She started cheating on him with his best friend, Go Eunhyuk. (Not exactly. It's complicated.) )

But here's the twist: before that, she found out her boyfriend and her stepsister ( Bitch ) had already cheated on her.

Messy? Yes. But it gets messier.

💓 The Senti Flip Jellypop

           

         That's when she discovers the Senti Flip Jellypop — a strange little thing that reveals people's love points.

Guess what she saw when she checked herself?

Zero.

A big fat zero.

Meaning: she was a bug in the system. A glitch. Someone who wasn't supposed to exist in this love game.

🎮 The Creator's Offer

        

        So the Creator — whoever that is — gave her a chance.

She can increase her love points.

And that's where the actual story begins.

👥 Characters (aka Who's Making Us Giggle)

1. 🎀 Shim Su Ae — The FL Who Started at Zero

• Our girl. The one who started her journey as a threat to the system.
  
• She had to face great survival — yet dumb issues from the Creator.
• She's complicated. She's messy. She was innocent (maybe).
• At this point? I don't even know whether I should console her or scold her.
• But I'm watching. Always watching.

Vibe: A glitch who's trying to survive a game that was never meant for her.

     2. ❄️ Go Eunhyuk — The ML Who Makes It Complicated

• 
  Honestly, the biggest issue in his life was his freak dad. (Daddy issues, yeah.)
  
• He was the real mess.
• He's cold, known for a complex, often-debated personality.
• The real deal? He disappears for a straight 10 years.
• He's deeply traumatized and has communication issues due to his backstory.
• And he's partially deaf from a family incident. (The drama.)

Vibe: Tragedy with a face Card who will ghost you for a damn decade and expect you to understand.

3. 🌸Baek Dohwa — The 2nd ML Who Deserves Better

• First impression? Hell, mean guy? Wait — no. That's wrong. Roumered Idol. Yes too.
  
• He was actually a complicated friend of her stepsister.
• Mysterious. Handsome to death. The blonde beauty. (Actually down for blonde guys 💅)
• But guess what? One day at the game station, situations take a turn when Su Ae makes a record of the game he was playing. Mysteriously.
• He becomes a star later on. And actually removed from her life after his love confession to Su Ae.

Vibe: Soft? Sweet? Actually shows feelings. Green flag energy that I'm too damaged to trust.

     4. 👠 The Stepsister: Shim Ra-im (Mental Issues Edition)

• The actual bitch. She was hella jealous, insecure, psycho.
  
• First, she grabbed Kang Minu (Su Ae's ex).
• She loves Su Ae, but she envies her too. (She is the real despair.)
• Guess what? She got charisma — but self-respect?
• She even tried every bait to snatch Go Eunhyuk in her crappy trappy stories.

Vibe: Trash with a capital T.

     5.  Ru Ha (Marang CEO) — The Creator

• A mysterious, blonde-haired man who stalks Su Ae and threatens her with "love points" through
  the Jellypop system.
• He's obsessed — like, weirdly obsessed — with a series Su Ae created called Becoming the Black Rose of Versailles.
• Why? What's his connection to it? To her?
• He watches. He waits. He controls the points.
• And we still don't know what he actually wants. Later on, Murang went bankrupt, and he became strange.

 My Current Team:

     

As I said, I love blonde guys. I love Dohwa the most.

But as the story progresses? I'm hella confused.

When Eunhyuk and Su Ae date, I feel bad for Dohwa.

And when Dohwa and Su Ae date, I feel bad for both male leads.

Because in reality? Her heart still revolves around Eunhyuk.

But guess what the issue is? The 10 years between them is the real deal.

Eunhyuk has communication issues. Su Ae needs an explanation.

And Dohwa? It's like he's playing the character of Han Seo-jun (Hwang In-seop) from True Beauty.

The only difference here? Dohwa and Eunhyuk never wanted to be friends.

And Dohwa actually got a chance to date Su Ae.

But guess what? Yeah, he's kinda pathetic, yet I feel too sad for my Handsome guy. But deep down, he also knows Su Ae's heart rests with Eunhyuk.

The whole love triangle is so complex.

🎬 Favorite Scenes That Broke (and Fixed) Me

1. The Beach

       The way she planned her love confession. She records her feelings for Eunhyuk. She plans a whole
date idea — that got ruined because of the rain.

Then they get separated from their classmates. They end up with an old couple, where the ahjussi made all three of them drink. (They were underage.)

And that night, when they're finally in the room to sleep?

The scene was both tragedy and tranquility mixed.

That's the night Dohwa realized how much he wants her — but that it's not possible.

The Love Confession.The way it happened?

It made me scream and giggle. A lot.

2. Dohwa Confession

     I love that scene to death — when he confesses his feelings using her novel line.

I still remember every inch of that chapter.

It was the purest scene. Yet it broke me. Because Su Ae was in a relationship.

He was pure. Kind. Sweet. A total greeny guy.

Still, he never gets what he truly deserves to the extent. I hate it to hell.

But his confession? It made me fall for him harder and harder.

I still can't get over his Iconic yet Anguised confession. I will never ever.

The Haitus Pain:

So it happened. Last week.

I was scrolling the panel — and BOOM. ANOTHER HIATUS.

Basically, the author has some health issues. His hand is not in the right state.

I truly respect him. But a 4-month hiatus?

Damn.

Hope he recovers soon. 🤲

The hiatus happened right when Su Ae and Eunhyuk were trying to talk again.

He was at the airport. Leaving the country.

But Su Ae came.

Not because of some crazy love — but a project error.

Yet he came to her. Running. Left his flight.

Majestic.

After the project error is resolved, Su Ae comes to thank him.

He notices her ripped socks — and makes her sit in his car.

The way he helps her wear the shoes, he was hesitant to give her.

The way she asks why he even has them.

And finally — he tries to communicate. Yes, a little. But he did.

The way he tells her: It was actually for you. But I wasn't able to gift it.

Yeah.

I love them. It's toxic for me — but I still love them. 😭

Predictions:

  Literally, I don't know where the story progresses, but she will end up with Eunyuk. Dohwa will be heartbroken. I know Eunyuk and Su-Ae are soulmates, but what the writer is doing with Dohwa dating Su-Ae is really cruel. And I hate it. Yet I want Su-Ae to be happy. I don't want anyone to be sad. I can't make many predictions.
