I have a feeling that MC would be really close with Teo’s friends. Maybe it’s because I really like Teo’s friends, and the type of friendship they have, but as he mentions them more often and he mentions the MC to them more often, the stronger the impression I get.
Based off the way they interact with Teo, and how Jay and Joseph have communicated with MC, I have this intense feeling that they’d love her. Though the conversations are short lived, I can tell both guys definitely care about Teo and treasure they’re friendship with him, so it’s likely that they’d pick up on the fact that MC genuinely adores him. I imagine they’d be insanely supportive of their relationship—tho I highly doubt they would be outright about it LOL.
I can just see them teasing Teo about having a girlfriend that’s cooler than him, and saying how they like MC more than him. Telling him he’s cringy and exchanging embarrassing stories with MC. Or them inviting Teo out, but saying, “we’re only inviting you because we want MC to come.”
And I like to think that Teo would greatly appreciate the shared bond between MC and his friends. Sure, he’d be annoyed by their teasing and maybe a little jealous of how close she is with them, but he seems like the type of guy who greatly cherishes his relationships. So seeing the people he cares about getting along with the person he loves the most(and vice versa) would make him incredibly happy.

The Ssum 2 is actually... not that bad?
It has been 14-ish days since The Ssum: Love From Today (or The Ssum Season 2 if we must) was released. We were introduced to a new character named June, a blonde cutie pie that looks kinda sad (?) and fragile (?) and reminds me of Yoosung from the very first picture release. His voice and the way he talks even gives off Yoosung vibe even more. The spoiler stated, “He has ties to someone from Mystic Messenger,” and I was like, OKAY YOOSUNG????? Or perhaps a little far off, RIKA????? Then bam it’s actually—welp if you haven’t played it yet then I’ll let you find it out yourself lol
The revelation received mixed reaction from “wtf” to “WTF??” and I gotta admit I was one of them who was like,,,,, why,,,,, but it didn’t get to make me stop playing June route because:
- The writing in this season actually gets better
Teo route was boring af (spoiler alert?) boi kept doing part time jobs, we got two couple fights that didn’t even make sense, and somehow he ended up getting involved in a cult like ??????? I know they were trying to build a slow pacing relationship that lasted 200 days and added many “realistic” things but fam this aint it. And don’t get me started with the waiting time in between his chats, like 20+ minutes to wait for him climbing a hill, in a bed time chat? Nah fuk u man
Harry route.... god I hate don’t like it very much because 1) he doesn’t make it easy for me at all, 2) some of MC options in the chat are either gold-diggerish, or very jealous, or mean, or ignorant, and I don’t wanna be that kinda person
Don’t get me wrong, Teo and Harry are good characters and their designs are cool but the storytelling... is really all over the place
Since the writer from Cheritz’s previous games including Mysme is making a comeback in this season for June, playing his route now I can really see the difference. June started off falling in love instantly for MC and in only like 5 days I found out he has terminal disease. Nice. Tragic and angsty and very Mysme of you, June
BUT other than that, the conversation flows nicely, not too short and too long, the waiting time is reasonable, and I love how we get to talk about the planets thing in the chat; MC telling June to write in Gratitude Diary, June telling MC that he likes to read stuffs in Root of Desire, Piu-Piu advising us to look around the planets as we wait for June. It makes a huge difference for me. The whole meeting-a-fateful-stranger-in-some-random-app concept feels more realistic, and those planets are now part of the story and not just there to... exist. Though, it does make me wonder if June has this battery thing going on for him too, and if that’s why he doesn’t call us as often as Teo used to (but I’m still on day 10 and he’s currently trying to recover his health, so perhaps he probably just doesn’t get the energy and time to call us often lolol)
AND I KINDA LIKE PIU-PIU HERE. It feels... useful and friendly now. Piu-Piu in Teo route feels like a mean sassy bird and Piu-Piu in Harry route is just weird and likes to invade people’s privacy
- June having ties with Mysme character
Yes, this is also another reason I keep playing. Finding out that this new lovable character has a relationship with one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite games? I’m sold. I don’t care if this is just some way of Cheritz to get Mysme players into The Ssum. They have the right to do so—I mean it’s their game??? Some people are also saying that Cheritz should just release another contents for Mysme rather than doing this with The Ssum, and I think that’s valid. But Mysme has been running for years already, and keeping an otome game around for this long must be very hard. Releasing another content for Mysme means that Cheritz must gather their old writers, old artists, and old voice actors and perhaps they don’t have the resources to do so
Ofc this reason might not be true and Cherits just simply doesn’t want to work on Mysme anymore, and that’s their decision I’d like to respect
Also, if Teo and Harry made me miss Mysme because of their poor writing, June here actually makes me want to play Mysme again because he’s related to ***** and it’s fun being able to see ***** from different perspective
Moreover I’d rather be a gf of June who has half-brother (oops) from Mysme than being Zen’s ex. Wtf was that
And who knows? Maybe we will get another chara who’s related to V next????? Idk tho it might be too much of a stretch but I’m not gonna complain lol
- Cheritz is trying their very best
Them using AI art is wrong, and they have addressed that issue so I won’t repeat it here. I just wanna acknowledge their effort in making a game we would enjoy. They're pretty fast in handling and responding to our complaints, they still give us some battery freebies in the game so people who can't afford batteries or subscription can save them to play, and tbh you don't have to purchase every paid option in the chat too (I know I don't). Some players also share the paid pictures online, so you can decide to pay just for the pictures you wanna keep. We have a friendly and helpful community ;_;
The subscription price is still too much for many players and I myself can’t afford it every month because I have a family to feed, but I try to understand that in the end Cheritz is still an independent company that has to make profit. They have to pay rent, their employees, and people who work with them. I encourage people who can afford to keep supporting them, and those who can’t, I’m sure Cheritz appreciates our support and feedback just as much!
In conclusion, I just love them and I hope they keep up with the hard work
I want to say much more tbh but I’m kinda tired so now I’ll get back to work—while waiting for June for our lunch chat

The Ssum - New Love Interest's Voice
Hi!
Someone shared the voice lines of the new LI on Reddit, since the official site has some problems, and the microphone buttons aren't functioning. And I tried to translate them into English in case someone is interested.
[I don't speak Korean, but as I am fluent in Japanese, I have a basic understanding of its logic and phonemes. I am sure that there are some mistakes out there, so please correct me if you realize any <3]
Korean
1. 아... 오늘눈동자가 반짝어 거리네요.
2. 이제 진짜 안녕. 내일도얘기해요.
3. 귀찮으실땐 알려주세요. 맨날 안받아주셔도 돼요.
4. 떼끼떼끼 ,선생님의 목소리를 들었으로,이제 모든병이 나았습니다.
English
1. Ah... Today, your eyes are shining.
2. Goodbye for real this time... Let's talk tomorrow too.
3. Please let me know if you feel bothered. It's okay, you don't have to bear with me every day.
4. My, my! Now that I heard the doctor's voice*, all of my ailments healed up.
*선생님 is used for people whom one respects, especially teachers and doctors (like "sensei" in Japanese). So I don't know if he really meant doctor or anything else since we don't have any background info.
