Cause S2 is so much more psychologically entertaining and r e a l i s t i c a l l y toxic! Dolsha is really good at making realistic characters; Taehwan’s distrust of people and shittiness to Yeonwoo is explained so well by his trauma, and while his reaction is certainly unhealthy it’s also super realistic and definitely something i can see a real life person doing. I LOVE how his actions entirely contradict his words cuz that denial and need for an alternate explanation is SO real and relatable. Yeonwoo’s feelings of guilt and his masochism is also so well-explained by his relationship with family and religion and his history with Taehwan. I love seeing how him being around Alex, as an openly gay man, helps him accept his sexuality more and develop greater feelings of self-worth. As you can see I really enjoy psychoanalyzing people and characters and trying to figure out why they act the way they do/predict their actions in the future and imo S2 is way better for that than S1, since in S1 both Taehee and Dojin are pretty mentally healthy and therefore easy to understand and predict. A lot of bls do storylines similar to S2 (namely bj alex and yours to claim) but i def think Dolsha’s writing is hands down the most realistic and well-paced version of this trope. It’s also definitely not the type of relationship anybody would want to be in irl, but it’s certainly something you could see happening irl and it’s always fun to analyze characters who are kinda fucked up
