I feel Jin-Woo should have fulfilled Joo-Hee’s wish and treated her to a meal before she went to Busan
I watched Solo Leveling more than a month ago, and this thing has stayed on my mind : Jin-Woo should have taken Joo-Hee out for a treat before she went to Busan.
Joo-Hee was genuinely kind to Jin-Woo back when he was an E-rank hunter who constantly got injured. She healed him, cared for him, worried about him, and treated him warmly when many others looked down on him. And she only asked him to treat her to a meal after the dungeon mission.
After coming back from the double dungeon incident, Jin-Woo never fulfilled that wish of Joo-Hee.
I’m not saying they necessarily should have ended up together or started dating. I understand that both of them eventually chose different paths. Joo-Hee was deeply traumatized after the Cartenon Temple incident and wanted a life away from a life of a Hunter and the dangers involved in it, while Jin-Woo chose a path where he would continue to get stronger and face more dangers in future.
Still, romance aside, because of the friendship and bond they shared, I really wanted him to fulfill what she asked him before everything changed in the Cartenon Temple. Even if it was just one dinner before she left for Busan, I think it would have been a nice closure and a meaningful moment between them.
Am I the only one who felt this way?
