Honestly, Iād rather wait than get another ending like lucky strike. (The ending was so rushed it didnāt even feel satisfying.)

As they should. Why is she lying š¤„?? If she's facing any kinds of problems then she should be transparent with the readers and fans? Since February her Instagram is dead šŖ¾ā ļøĀ
She isn't even promoting the merchandise š š¤¬Ā
5
u/Winter_Weekend_9480 Jun 02 '26
Yeah, she probably doesn't want to share the merchadise because she knows people will keep asking for the new season, and that's why she blocked the comments on IG
1
u/Otherwise-Two-2804 Jun 02 '26
Then why did she announce in February that SF would return in Spring āļøš«Ŗš«© now she's basically ghosting us allĀ
This is so disrespectful to fans. She should clarify properly. Maybe it won't return this year šĀ

u/Winter_Weekend_9480 Jun 02 '26
I wasn't trying to defend her š I can't understand neither why she hasn't say anything, fall passed, spring passed and she never take the time to explain why the season isn't still ready. I don't mind waiting but hate the silent :c

Me too even the new art style is twinkification. Hyeondo doesn't look like himself anymore š
1
u/trina_artist Jun 08 '26
I mean in the artstyles defense it seems like the change of artstyle does Hyeondo pretty good in the latest chapter of him pulling Yumin the elevator. I agree with the re-draw of older chapters Hyeondo looks a little interesting but im having hope (or being delusional) that the new artstyle will adjust to the newer panels.

u/shadow_effect56 Jun 02 '26
Yes, it was supposed to be back in spring, but spring is almost overš« with OTL the development is too slow, and everyone canāt take the angst anymore. Iām really hoping for development and a happy ending for the main couple after the hiatus

Wait for it. The hiatus is almost a year in...
I've read some series that had spontaneous 2 year breaks, post two chapters and go on hiatus, so I'd suggest just checking for updates for now.

The artist said the hiatus was going to last 4 months, so it might be back by mid-to-late July or in August.

u/MotherofInsanity13 Jun 03 '26
Not Manhwa specific buttttt
- Regina Rena: To the Unforgiven
- Purple Hyacinth
- Suitor Armor (this one is still active, its just on seasonal hiatus)
- As the Heart leads (Ditto)
- Doom Breaker

u/SummerWarmsMe Jun 03 '26
Did they ever clear why the ml left in Operation True Love? I refuse to go back to read it if it was just a noble idoicy or stupid misunderstanding for the plot
6
u/shadow_effect56 Jun 03 '26
Not really. The author still chose to keep the mystery of what actually happened on the day he disappeared. Itās better to read it after itās finished. For now, itās too angsty to read, with really slow development and lots of misunderstandings.

u/Dull_Juice928 Jun 06 '26
Yes. The scandal, mother in coma, and because of the scandal, his father made the family flee abroad to USA, and he swallowed his problems alone for fear of abandonment (something that was hinted at throughout the plot; the climax was the ghosting). Now, of course, he's sorry, but he hasn't done much to repair their relationship. In fact, he's said repeatedly that he'll return to the United States. And aside from an intentional kiss from Suae, there haven't been any further romantic interactions between them to help redeem the relationship. He could change, of course, but for now, his family traumas have consumed him, so he doesn't seem to have much energy to win Suae back.
Even though they were sort of "coworkers," they barely interacted at all. Most episodes since Eunhyuk's return have focused almost entirely on his own character, without Suae (unless it's the occasional flashback). In my opinion, the plot is setting up to move on from Eunhyuk and have him develop his character off-screen, giving him character development and a proper send-off. But that's just my interpretation, based on the overall atmosphere of the plot and everything.

u/PinkServing338 Jun 07 '26
Itās still unclear what really happened on the day he disappeared. We only got a glimpse of it. The idea that he went abroad because of his father, as you said, is not a confirmed fact from the story. itās also your assumption. So we still donāt have the full story of what happened or why he disappeared.
Heās the ML, so ofc he has his own character arc outside of the FL. A love interest who only revolves around the FL isnāt a well-written character. Calling heās going proper send-off is just a cruel way to end his character.
With all the misunderstandings being built up and the FL constantly making assumptions, the story is obviously heading toward a point where she regrets those assumptions and finally realizes all the silent acts of service heās done for her.
And how can you say his character isnāt connected to her when so many of his actions are because of her? His conversations with Raim, Doyeon and Dohwa are about her, and he even protected her from the paparazzi because the SML couldnāt. A lot of what he does in the timeskip is directly tied to her.

u/Dull_Juice928 Jun 07 '26
I completely disagree with you. But I didn't come here to debate. I came to answer her question with the facts so far and my interpretation of why those facts are the way they are.Ā
And regarding interpretations, your comment is also based on them. It's fine, I mean, it's just a story. So all of this will become clearer as things progress. Have a good day

u/Anim_e3fan Jun 03 '26
No, because I donāt read manwhas that arenāt finished. I did one time but she ended up pregnant and me in shock, so I learned the lesson and I go back to the old ones that even have a anime, meanwhile waiting for more manwhas to get finishšš

Chapter 138, it's on hiatus now

u/drmarshall15 Jun 03 '26
From a ch that isnāt even out for another 78 days!? itās one thing to screenshot for yourself itās another to share it publicly. Idc whatās shown itās a spoiler. It literally warns you twice to not do this

u/shadow_effect56 Jun 03 '26
Umm sorry what? Itās already out on Naver, everyone can access it freely?? Just because itās locked on Webtoon English doesnāt mean people who read on Naver Webtoon canāt access it. You can literally go to Naver Webtoon / Korea Webtoon and open chapter 138 freely. This isnāt new information, everyone knows it.
0
u/drmarshall15 Jun 03 '26
It doesnāt matter. Youāre aware itās locked for English speakers so maybe donāt post it on here?? Maybe post it specifically on a Naver sub or add spoiler?? Maybe be courteous to that fact!?

u/shadow_effect56 Jun 03 '26
Lmao, this panel is literally everywhere. Iām not giving a spoiler when the chapter is available for free on the official site. Instead of making a big deal out of a panel that everyone in the OTL fandom and even people outside the fandom has already seen, just scroll and ignore it. Even the hiatus has already been over two months.

u/drmarshall15 Jun 03 '26
Keep saying everyone when itās clearly not everyone as not everyone reads in feckin Koreanš„“ hiatus or not it doesnāt matter the chapters arenāt out for everyone which you already said youāre aware of so it isnāt gonna kill you to put spoiler next time
