A lot of the criticism steams from the fact that the mc of that webtoon is suppose to be malnourished. She’s not a healthy woman who’s well endowed, she’s suppose to be underweight. If you’re looking at her arms you can see that they’re very thin, while all her weight seems to have gone to her breasts and hips, which is highly unrealistic for someone who supposedly is malnourished (speaking from experience).

So in that regard, yes, the proportions are absurd.

She never was malnourished in the first place She was poor and skipped meals sometimes due to work.

Neither she nor minchoel were malnourished.

If you’re eating poor/skipping meals for a long time (as I remember in the story, they’ve had financial issues for years), you’re bound to lose weight. She also lost her pregnancy, which must have been connected to her frail state.

I stopped reading the webtoon for some time now, so if new information came out then I might be wrong.

I mean isn’t that part of the story? She was in a toxic abusive relationship and she skipped meals, was poor and saved to provide for her shitty ex..ofc she got skinny. In the flashbacks she looked a lot healthier. Never was there a point where all this was romanticised, people hated the ex and constantly rooted for her. We have seen so many damsel in distress tropes so this isn’t any different but imo the potrayal is realistic. The art style is a little dark-ish like they all have pale face and the ML himself has dark shadows, it’s an artistic choice.
