Jumin Han should not be dumbed down.
Alright, I need to get this out because I have no one else to talk about this. If you don't play mystic messenger, then you won't get this. If you want to play it and not be spoiled, maybe don't read this because I will spoil Jumin's backstory and bad ending. ANYWAYS RANT TIME!! People always dumb down characters to one simple thing and makes it the characters WHOLE personality. It makes me mad because the character is always super complex, and people are just ignoring that. (also, most of the characters that people dumb down are the characters people sexualize o-o) Jumin Han has been dumbed down to 2 different versions. The first is "Oh he has no emotions, he only cares about his cat he wants to marry his cat he hates all women, and he's a rich boy that's all he is !!" and the second one is "Oh kinky sexy daddy red ribbon tie me up pls and buy me whatever I want >.<" Both are very bad and not something to romanticize, ESPECIALLY THE SECOND ONE!! The first version is when Jumin felt like he couldn't be vulnerable to anyone, only to his cat. He was defined based on his money, and that's how it's always been in his life. He felt like he couldn't show emotions because of his father having his feelings get in the way of his family, company, and even his own life. Jumin saw that as weak, and he drilled it into his head. His cat was the only thing that didn't care if he was rich or not and wouldn't judge him if he showed emotions; that's why Jumin cared so much for her. The second version is not a version you should want. The second version is his 2nd bad ending where MC shows she doesn't want to be with Jumin and intends to leave. To Jumin, he finally found the person he felt happy with, and now that person wants to go, so he (most likely) had a manic episode and trapped you in his penthouse so MC would never go. His mental health was at an all-time low. He was not stable. It is not something to romanticize nor want. Jumin is a complex character, and we should not dumb him down to rich boy or cat lover nor kinky daddy Jumin. Anyway, that was my essay. Yes, Jumin is my favorite character, and I will fight for all my favorite characters to death.
