FAQ

If we have Resentment (Wonjin-sal), are we doomed to break up?
It isn't a word that foretells a breakup. Resentment is the seat where attraction and friction live together — the closer the bond, the more sharply misalignment registers. Many such relationships last once the tension is recognized and handled, so we don't read it as a severance from fate.
How is Resentment different from Ghost Gate?
Both are paired spirit stars needing two branches at once, but the grain differs. Resentment weighs toward grudges and misalignment in relationships; Ghost Gate weighs toward the mind — sensitivity and insight. Some pairs overlap, so together they read as relational tension and sharpened sensitivity at once.
