Translator Note Regarding Gashiyeon - the title, and faq

[honeyiceblend]

First of all, I wanted to thank all of you for your never-ending support towards my translations. Not only thanking me for the translations, but also giving me words of console when I'm down. With that, I'm truly appreciative.

I'm going to explain the misunderstand of the title - "Thorn Year", and some frequently asked questions - What happened to

this definitely cleared everything :]

esp the title part.
i always wondered why it was called "Thorn Year" since i always saw it written as "가시연". but then again, i'm not fluent in korean, so i thought it was a mistake in translation on my half. LOL.

hey you got me thinking, when i first read thorn year/thorn lily, whichever, in chinese, i was wondering just what happened during the time that jaejoong and yunho were separated. i was curious about it this summer so i (tried) to quickly skim through a few chapters, and since i read chinese quite slow... but i think i figured out the reason. but i dunno if i'm right or not.. i don't want to mention it here cuz i may spoil it for ppl. i haven't had time to get back to properly reading word by word.. do you think you can tell me what happened if i tell you what i think happened?? i just want to be sure,cuz well, the reason seems huge, but the characters seem calm/fine about it...

You can go ahead and tell me the reason. PM okay? I'll get you back as soon as possible ^^

thank you so much for clearing up things. :)
i really feel bad for jae in the start of volume 2,
but i am really curious why yunho's acting that way.
i was hoping they broke up officially, so there's a reason
for yunho's heartless acts, but looks like, i should
be really disappointed in his character.

Don't be. There might be another reason behind it. Like the people and things around them. They will be slowly unveiled later on.

I will also guide you guys along while translating the future chapters, so you don't have to worry about missing anything :)

ok.. this clear up so much.. ^^
i kinda felt weird too with the tittle back then...
actually what's the meaning of 'Thorn Year' itself and all
and thanks you for explaining this to us..

and yeah.. about Jae... the first time i read the 2nd part of this fic, i confused too..
actually i already read this fic from another translator for a few chapter, but it still haven't finish translated yet...
so, i kinda a little understand about what happen to jaejoong....
eventhough why the reason yun left jae haven't revealed yet, too...
but i think reading it again from the start make me understand this fic more..
thanks so much for you~~~ <3

btw.. thanks so much for translating this fic to us...
will always waiting for your hardworks....
^^
love,
