I understand it’s wrapping up, but I really don’t think the story is over by a long shot. There is so much more that could and should be covered about Joohae- the times Joowon relied on Haesoo as his rock, more of the ordinary part of their love story that’s alluded to in Haesoo’s best-selling book, their conversation after the hospital, the 3-year time skip (so much good material ripe for tackling!), their present life together on a day to day basis, how they will handle being in a same sex relationship esp with Joowon’s superstar celebrity status. And I know we’re eye to eye on this, of course!
I 100% agree with you. I’m just saying for the losers that read this without caring about Joohae: the main plot of the story has tied up and they can take their exit. Nothing is “dragging” at all. It’s completely true that this could honestly go for another season because there’s so many moments and aspects unexplored in Joohae’s relationship. So many flashbacks I want to see. I want to see how they’ll deal with new problems and issues that come between their relationship now that theyre actually together and being honest with each other. If not another season, we need side stories exploring all the dynamics and facets of joohae. Idk if youre familiar with the story “my pet bat”: but the author added like 20 chapters of side stories after the main pair actually got together and things ended, and they almost felt like the most crucial chapters in the story because it explored the depths of their r/s and how they handled and faced problems when they were actually together.
I really hope we get all those extra chapters, it’d feel so incomplete otherwise! I thought I’d be much more invested in photographer’s character when I first read the synopsis of this story. He’s so bland to me, though, especially as not connected to joohae. It’s harder to focus my attention re-reading the story when he’s featured, I don’t care about his backstory or development very much. As far as I’m concerned he served his purpose and I’d be fine never hearing about him again.
saaame. the thing is, he isnt even given a backstory? maybe thats why he feels like a half baked character to me. since yh probably wanted to focus her efforts on joowon and haesoo and their motives. anyway taku just ended up being another pesky obstacle that joohae had to overcome in my eyes. he was what gave haesoo the excuse to run from his feelings, and stay away from joowon as a way to protect his r/s with his mom and not interfere with the remarriage. haesoo had to realize that his bond with joowon meant way more than whatever "normal" relationship he could have with any other dude-- and that letting himself get passively controlled by his mother was just not it!
He’s an important device for joohae, but I feel like there should be more than that to his character. There was something about an uncle and that lighter, and he was shown acting like an arrogant prick at art school. Besides the disposable models thing. I just found myself not caring enough to find out more. Maybe if there was more integration between all 3 of them, like exploring the untapped tension between T and J. I think the story overall could still work, give J more screen time, and add a more interesting facet to photographer’s character that way.
okay cool well make the opinion make sense cause what is "dragging" exactly??? there is literally no plotline threads left to complete? all we want is cute moments and further insight in the joohae relationship. the author delivering that isn't "dragging". it's something we havent gotten in FOREVER, and finally being given.
but no seriously have you seen that kind of nonsense in another bl or romance story? it's a LOVE STORY, yet people are complaining about the endgame couple finally having a bare minimum few chapters together at the END together. like wtf ??? only taku stans who cant stand joohae would say that sort of bs.
Genuinely dont understand the ppl going like “the story is dragging at this point” — mf the story is OVER at this point. the plot threads have all tied up. If you dont want cute fluff and smut plus further conversation between the endgame pair at the END, which the author has deprived us of for 2 years worth of updates, THEN DONT READ IT lol
Let us Joohae fans enjoy this without your complaining over something that doesnt even make sense to complain about.
