You're absolutely right, the act is stupidly unconvincing and so not jooin-like. This entire situation doesn't make any sense in the first place, so no wonder his character's also odd
It is odd because he developed a 'take no shit' attitude 90% of the story only to have him drop that and everything he said/stood by. You can tell they still wanted give that attitude but it just doesn't work when he went back to the one he was rejecting since chapter 38 and 39....
Yuh
Hadn't he said "mom was right... time awaits for noone." And he was thinking of which path to take for his OWN happiness.
Ughm is it just me, or Jooin still feels like a pushover even with his idgaf attitude he's trying to show here.
I think they're trying to show him the way he was with yahwi before in S2, where he didn't let things slide and called him out. making jooin look somewhat nonchalant in a way but it just doesn't work here.
