Author Note

Backstage Couple

Dear Readers,

Greetings! I'm so relieved and happy that I manage to finish this story. This definitely wasn't what I intended the plot to be. I think I just go with the flow. I have to admit I am not so satisfied with how this story turns out to be, but oh well... hopefully most you do enjoy it. I definitely enjoy writing the epilogue, haha, so my style I think. I like how it turns out too. I know it probably isn't the ending most of you would like to see, but I'm the author so deal with it! Haha, just kidding. 

I don't think MyungU should be together in this story. Myungsoo hurt Jieun a lot and Jieun is still so insecure about everything. I don't think two people who are this way can be together for long. Jieun need to fix her insecurity and be braver. Myungsoo need to treat woman better and see the better judgement. Then, I'd pair the two up together hahaha. What I intend to say via this story is how independent woman should be. I found most woman characters in a few stories to be quite... ugh... with typical girl clinging to boy no matter how much the boy hurt her. How hate become love and so in love (which is hypocritical because that what happen to in Backstage Princess). And how the girl would do anything for the boy, how the boy is super famous and suddenly fell for the girls and other things that often doesn't make sense. Please, do not feel offended, I'm not offending anyone. I just want to stress how woman shouldn't be characterized as foolish or clingy or anything like that. 

Another thing I want to stress, about the break up. I've never been in a relationship myself so I don't really know about this love stuff. Everything is written on a neutral and completely rational (?) point of view (they said love is irrational and I'm not in relationship). I want people to look at how they need to deal with heartbreaks and how they will be okay one day. 

I'd like to thank all of you who supported me from the beginning to the end hahaha. I'm constantly struggling with comments so a big applause to those who do. I'm going to mention a few people like littlebabyangle who often drop by, littledraco, xiaohope, ennology who was a silent reader and made an effort haha (thanks a lot), iuana12, shaylove93, Alluring (since she surprisingly read) and a bunch of others... thank you all. 

See you next time!

Sincerely,

theadorable

Chapter 57: Just read your story and I actually like this part 2 more than the previous one. I noticed you tend to write about dark dramatic stories full of angst. It is engrossing although a bit depressing at times. Keep writing & hoping you eventually consider a happy ending next time. Thank you

You started this story in a great way and you end it in a good way.

Chapter 57: omg this story is already finish. hmmm, whatever it is, myungsoo and jieun had their closure. Yeah, it's better not to be together than together. Gosh, I'm going to miss this story, I means this story is kinda.. pretty related with my love story but I hope it won't end with the same ending though. heheeehe and by the way I saw my username on your notes. hehe.

Chapter 57: I'm really glad that you patiently worked through the sequel and finished it(so awesomely) even though you often lost inspiration.u knw it didn't seem so coz every chapter in the sequel,especially,the last 10 chapters (in my opinion)were rlly special,the stuff of hard work and you gave a lot of urself in2 it.you weren't trying to please anyone in particular,u weren't writing just for the sake of tryin 2 get more readers and rather went with the natural flow of the story and your own feelings.i like u 4 that. And all your efforts and the wide range of emotions you captured in all the unsaid words makes this a unique and honest work of fiction.there were many aspects of the backstage princess that left me discontented and even pissed but the sequel settled all of that into sth more serene and satisfying. at times,the story seemed to be dragging on but then it felt necessary nonetheless.sorta ambiguous heh.The epilogue was epic and i appreciate your take on female characters, many ppl,being female writers themselves seem to glorify their male leads' so-called greatness and seem confused as in how to treat their female characters.they often turn out to be subservient or too black n white or a k/j-drama rip-off or pretensious in an annoying way.you tried to respect your characters and also didn't follow a typical formula where crap like this happens- during myungu's numerous break-ups woohyun would end up playing a more prominent romantic role(sth like a fling),jiyeon wouldn't rlly have much of a story n would've ended up with woohyun,jieun would've been more servile n weak,pil suk (i hope m gettin all the names ryt,m terrible wid names) wud've been forgotten n ofcourse myungu would've been 2gether till the end even if jieun had gotten battered like 5 times.sth like that though nowadays most stories with a typical storyline try to b a bit better than that.M immensely relieved this story did none of that and i've been anticipating that epilogue 4 ages!

Chapter 57: it was casual but appropriate, i think. open but closed. i'm glad jieun and myungsoo had proper closure though-- neither of them would be able to move on if they hadn't, in my opinion. some things are better left alone. too painful of a love isn't love after all.

wow though. congrats on finally finishing!!! you're definitely the author of some of the longest iu fics. your name needs to be remembered in an iu tribute somewhere HAHA. are you going to be taking a break? if so... good luck? haha. will miss you!!!!! be back soon yeeah.

Chapter 57: you're right :)) This probably isn't the ending I would like to see. From your very first chapters till this one, I always keep a little hope that after all hurting cycles they"ll be together in the end. But once again, you're right when not pairing the two up together. Myungsoo and Jieun both love and need each other so much to the point they hurt each other and be doubtful about their love. It's tired and hurt to see them like this T T
Thank you for writing such an amazing story and bringing us surprises through each chapter :') I'd love to read your next story.
Thank you again and wishing you the best!
