Guys am i wrong for this?
So Zuma has returned in the latest ch and tbh i really do like him a lot as a character. Great development and the emotional intensity of his origin was crafted masterfully. Plus i found it just beautiful to see him call the cop his dad. Truly great.
But i seriously want to hate him because of the organic chemistry between him and Momo. I feel like Ken did when he wanted to hate Jiji but ultimately couldnt just because he was actually a good person. But even though Jiji has his heart set on Momo, she doesnt seem to harbor any feelings for him beyond just a friend.
But i was literally feeling stressed when her and Zuma were together in Jumanji land because neither of them made any moves on eachother intentionally.
So i want to give Momo all the trust right now, since she is so against cheating and i believe it. And i know her and Ken have been through so much together and have built a powerful bond and it has been clear that Momo has had strong feelings for Ken since the start.
But i remember in the beginning, she was frustrated over her feelings for Ken, due to his physical appearance and social uneasiness. She stubbornly fought herself and even shamed and insulted Ken multiple times as attempts to deny her feelings. But she had no control over it. The heart wants what the heart wants.
But this is exactly why Zuma bothers me so much. With Jiji, he was introduced as a rival for Momos love but that love triangle felt more like a challenge just for fun. Meaning, you expect opponents and obstacles to show up in a romance plot, but it was more like a device to further develop and strengthen the bond between Momo and Ken.
So not to say that Zuma is not destined to do the same, but i worry about Momo having no choice against her own feelings towards Zuma. Because the way i see it, Momo fell in love with Ken because he is a perfect match for her desires on the inside, but it took her time to embrace it due to superficial aspects such as his appearance.
But Zuma is very very similar to Ken, personality wise. But he also has the physical appearance of an ideal lover in Momos eyes. I do not expect her to ever choose Zuma over Ken when all is said and done. I believe she will always choose Ken when it counts. But i am just so scared that she will show a moment of weakness and cross the line with Zuma. And she may even hate herself afterwards and regret it and drown in guilt. But even if she does, and even if she chooses Ken afterwards and admits her mistake and apologizes and even if Ken accepts her apology and forgives her,(definitely something he would do) i just dont believe i could ever forgive her. If that happens, i will feel so much disgust and resentment towards her and be so disappointed in Ken for not kicking her to the curb, she wouldnt deserve to be with him, especially since she is the strongest hater when it comes to cheating.
What do yall think?
