Thinking about a debut or die au where Cheongryeo finds Gunwoo in every life. Sometimes they’re friends, sometimes they’re lovers, sometimes Gunwoo is just another face in the crowd who takes pictures of him. Whether he gets to know Gunwoo or not in a particular life is irrelevant, his presence alone is an anchor.

Then one day Gunwoo isn’t there. Maybe it’s a performance that Gunwoo never misses or an event that he’s always at. Where his presence is soothing, a balm to Cheongryeo’s worsening insanity, his absence is gut churning.

At first it’s not that bad. Cheongryeo can rationalize it away as ‘I did something different that caused him not to make it.’ It’s not as if Cheongryeo won’t be able to see him next time.

And then he doesn’t see him at all.

Cheongryeo searches of course. He looks up his name and gun123 and even tries to call him. The only hint that he can find of Gunwoo are his fancams. It’s like looking for a ghost.

But he continues on. He completes mission after mission. He thinks, maybe, that Gunwoo is just another thing he has to lose in order to finally finish. And he finishes. But he finishes alone. There is no going back. There is no restarting his career to reach further heights. There is no Ryu Gunwoo.

Then he meets Park Moondae. And maybe he can do it all one more time.

#debut or die #debut or die spoilers #I have a lot of feelings about Cheongryeo #he sees himself as a ghost stuck in the past #yet he would willingly return to that past as the ghost #he’s willing to give everything of himself for his identity as an idol #because if that’s not all he is then what’s the point of regressing so much #Cheongryeo #Ryu gunwoo #park moondae #debut or die au

I like the degree of Cheongryeo’s (outright) [From: Debut or Die] psychotic/unhinged tendencies

And I’m not strictly just referring to the full one unhinged things he does. Like, I mean just his way of carrying himself too on a “regular” basis.  He’s the type of guy who’d suddenly start laughing and then just randomly stop in the most off putting way (by that I mean he canonically does that).

The whole scene where he’s giving Moondae a car ride is amusing but also off putting, because in Moondae’s own words, “…He seemed a little psychotic” 😭. Like, the whole time they were in that car, Moondae is keeping check of the view ahead and around the car and making extra sure Cheongryeo doesn’t take his eyes off the road while driving ☠️.  Moondae did not want to be in that car lmao. Understandably so, due to the erratic nature of even Cheongryeo’s small actions:

Cheongryeo smiled and lightly tapped the steering wheel. Moondae: ‘I’d rather be the person driving.’  […] I only moved my eyes to glance at the rearview mirror but I could see Cheongryeo’s eyes staring at me. …Frankly, it was downright creepy.

Or that one point where Moondae blocked his number, and so Cheongryeo called Moondae’s company to get in contact with him again ☠️

It’s all little things, but definitely add to the fact that this man’s sanity is barely handing on lmao

[I really look forward to reading his future shenanigans in the Manhwa 💥]

It's easier to miss and read over the sections where Moondae mentions cracking open a beer in the webnovel, but the manhwa is much less ambiguous about how often he drinks to destress.

Rereading from the beginning, it's also notable that within the first few paragraphs he notes that as Ryu Gunwoo he excessively drank the night before waking up due to failing the civil service exam.

#debut or die spoilers #alcoholism cw #<- well you can argue how much of this is an issue but it sure is a HABIT #and automatically drinking to cope with stress is about as unhealthy as you can imagine #i think if anyone but bae sejin had brought it up Moondae also wouldn't have been as inclined to listen about it #park moondae #meta

Practicing character design with some novel's MCs. Here are my headcanons:

Cheong Myeong

Bulky and beefy body. Big arms and hands, which can't be seen as his robes are too big on him

Tanned skin as he trains in the sun a lot, but only on the hands, face and neck since they aren't covered by his Mount Hua robes

I headcanon him as short since he started exercising from an early age in unhealthy amounts, stunting his growth

Super curly hair which Cheong Myeong keeps constantly in a ponytail. At one point in time he will pull in a bun to keep it from tangling

Sharp eyes with extremely long eyelashes

Han Yoojin

I'm a sucker for gaining weight representing character is in a safe and happy place for them

His nose is like a button, a feature he shares with Yoohyun

Yoojin has curlier hair than Yoohyun, though does not care for it. As a result, it's constantly messy and tangled, adding to the 'single mother who has two jobs' look

In the novel (I can't remember which chapter) it is mentioned that Yoojin gained a bit of skin color, making him look healthier. I followed the webtoon skin color (which was like white paper) and darkened it a bit, to look healthier but still very light

Yoojin has pieces of Sung Hyunjae's wardrobe on him. The guy has a lot of money, surely he won't be missing his 100k dollar suit right? (Hyunjae allows it since it is Yoojin stealing and it kinda "marks his territory". You know, like a dog)

Park Moondae

After receiving Idol Inc' sweather, he always wears it as Moondae is too lazy to go buy his own clothes (and to save money)

He got the shoes from Seon Ahyeon, which were one size bigger than his. Moondae doesn't bother telling Ahyeon he got the wrong size, so wearing it causes blisters

Moondae has "dead fish eyes" and a small mouth, making him look like the emoji '-' Fans find it adorable, though

He got a soft jawline and a thin face, as well as a pointy nose

It's possible to determine Moondae's emotion by the glint of his eyes, but only his close friends can do it precisely

Kim Dokja

I didn't intend to make him look like a corpse, but as I kept drawing it felt more and more right for him to be that way. He was an office worker and only had one happiness: a webnovel

Dokja spends most of his time indoors, so he is very pale and lacking of vitamin D. As he became a constellation and Demon King, his complexity worsened and looked inhumane, turning grey ash

He is able to retract his wings, but not his horns. They are constantly out and a burdensome, since Dokja often forgets they are there, making him hit the doorframe several times

Dokja's hair covers a part of his face (an ode to the damn censorship Bihyung added) and is choppy because he cuts his own hair. If cared and brushed almost every day, it would be like his mom's: flowy and soft

He has long eyelashes, especially on the lower lid, and downturned eyes, which makes him look gloomy and teary-faced

I imagine Dokja having a bit of a hunchback from all the time he spends in his phone and working in a computer

Dokja also has long legs, which he keeps hidden under his tattered coat

Cale Henituse

The man has a thin and tall body, to the point he seems both elegant and fragile at the same time

Cale has light skin due to his time spent indoors or under every shade he can find whenever he has to go out

Cale's features are mostly pointy, with sharp angles and straight lines running down. His nose is upturned, has arched eyebrows and sharp eyes

The straight hair was inherited from Deruth's parents, Cale's gradparents and red obviously from Jour

[rascheln]

Maybe my favorite part about Cheongryeo as a part-time antagonist is that he clearly genuinely likes Park Moondae/Ryu Gunwoo outside of his general obsession with him as someone who knows what he's been going through. It's interesting to have a character who does messed up shit not because he hates the main character or wants to see him fail, but because he wants to challenge him to do better. Except he's also got his brain thoroughly scrambled by regressing who knows how many times and so his 'help' comes with a huge chance of coming closer to sabotage.

#debut or die spoilers #finally reached THAT chapter and him meticulously trying to plan park moondae's next attempt at an idol career is SO funny #also him being unable to NOT play some kind of mindgame whenever he contacts Moondae?? literally incapable of being normal lol #anyways i love this take on a rival/antagonist who's more dangerous because he actually cares for the MC #another thought: it's kind of fitting that Moondae's biggest pain in the ass isn't someone who just cares about money or using him #but someone who- ironically - cares about him as a person #someone as isolated and lonely as ryu gunwoo would be hit much harder emotionally by that kind of adversary imho #just looking at his intense reaction every time cheongryeo simply contacts him truly feels like a mix of #'what the hell kind of mindgame will this asshole play next' #but ALSO 'oh god someone who is emotionally invested and strongly interested in me as a person is paying attention to me' #oh the humiliation and discomfort of suddenly holding that kind of intense attention from someone #meta
