seol is INFJ and jung is INTJ! i think they both heavily rely on introverted intuition, which is the ability to be perceptive and see patterns in people and situations and this is how they analyze the world around them. they are especially sensitive to details that others don’t often notice and they can almost accurately predict the outcome of certain situations. there are often times when both of them just sense when something is off (like when seol senses a weird tension at the english academy or when jung starts to notice his dad’s behavior slightly changing way before he deduced it because someone was reporting on him to his dad) and then have a lightbulb moment of what exactly is amiss. they tend to find symbolism in what happens to them, like how jung is strongly against repeating cycles which we can see in how he analyzed inho’s life choices so far and gave him according advice. where i see them differ though is of course with seol being F and jung being T. seol uses extraverted feeling very blatantly as she is someone who values the good of the social group or the family over her own needs time and time again. she is always reading people (as jung does, but for different reasons! as we learned time and time again) to understand their mood and personality, to the point where she doesn’t even realize she’s doing it. but that’s how she always has interacted with others and she has a strong urge to take care of others’ needs even to the detriment of herself, which she thankfully improved on. for jung, i specific example where i identified that he uses extraverted thinking was when he was describing to seol how he calmed down and taught areum. the way he explained his method was so systematic and was similar to how coding/computer programs work. i often notice people with strong extraverted thinking are concerned mostly about what is most EFFICIENT. they can organize people and rule out strategies that aren’t as efficient, and they aim to get stellar results without doing any useless work. we can see this at play in the scene where he has a group project with jaewoo in season 1, where he suggests cutting down the number of articles they read and removing unnecessary information as they can get a good grade by focusing on the quality of the content. anyways, this was my reasoning from what i know about MBTI. i’m no expert but this is just my take from my previous analysis when i first read through the story years ago!

sorry for the late reply! yes, absolutely, i agree with this! one thing i noticed especially when jung gives seol advice is that his words seem like a parent or guardian's reassurance that the child is doing well. it's also evident when he encourages seol to show her feelings and rely on him. i especially agree with how you mentioned jung's dad parented him in a way that taught him to repress his emotions and take on more of a parent role in his interpersonal relationships, in which he is more understanding and has to "let everything slide." it's sort of why he encourages seol to do the opposite and freely show her emotions to him so she doesn't feel suffocated in the same way he does. i actually hadn't thought of it before but i completely agree that this signifies his change and growth throughout the story - he learned to break free from old patterns and have more authentic relationships instead of repressing all his feelings and processing his emotions in a healthy way.

i would love to hear the analysis on his dad and any more that you'd be willing to share with me ! 😊

i actually haven't read it in full but i've read snippets here and there and 😭 my prediction for the next chapter is we'll see a shift in cheol and miae's dynamic and it'll end right on that note (maybe they have an argument over all this tension and one of them blurts out something scandalous like a confession or admitting jealousy sksks idk). i don't think cheol will be mad at miae for that since she couldn't control that, as he's pretty reasonable despite his jealous moments lmao. but he could be frustrated/jealous that jisu stepped in before he could. i'm not sure about the fast forward scenes since i haven't fully read the chapter though 😭 but i'll see it once it's updated on english webtoon !

the threatening with charges thing was crazy… i’ve been bombarded and ratioed on twitter before. i’ve had my private messages shared without my consent before. and i never thought to press charges cause this is the internet ? how insane are they. it’s almost like they understand how bad the things said are. as for adding the gl/bl accounts, i don’t know how this issue landed here. i also don’t think anyone should be compelled to read stories and genres that don’t fit their taste, not to mention things “they don’t agree with.” but the way those messages spoke about queer people and compared them to murderers? absolutely revolting. i can’t see anyone who supports that line of thinking in a good light ever again.
