Yes Taejoo! ┗( T﹏T )┛
At least show us his happy ending TT
But it's been years since this story was completed and no extras or sides fml.
Re-read today and I still feel so bad for Taejoo.
He suffered most and his sufferings was not shown much so we could sympathize more with MC (Yoon)...
Darn imagine feeling like you're not a priority, always having to wait for a lover that goes to dangerous places all the time, then suddenly losing connections for 5 years without knowing what has happened only to get pieces of his items back, then 5 years of suffering and searching for answers, then being taken advantage of when he was vulnerable (drunk), then seeing his beloved back alive but he can't let go of the ties he made with that bitch because of the leash this liar put on him without him knowing the truth, then pushing his loved one away because he felt responsible for this liar, being suffocated by the liar's demands and manipulation he finally went to give himself some space to breath ONLY to be bothered by the liar that keeps guilt tripping him and then he FINALLY finds out by accident that he wasn't a rapist but it was all TOO LATE.

Aigoooooooo I love the story a lot and I'm glad for Kwon and Yoon BUT Taejoo's sufferings was really downplayed a lot. Readers sympathized a lot with Yoon because we were exposed to his own sufferings but Taejoo's sufferings were only showed with tiny flashbacks. If Taejoo was the MC here and we were shown his pov we will probably blame Yoon more lol.
I understand Yoon loves his job but for Yoon his career was the priority more than love and family. He's lucky to have Kwon who understands that.
I need a story with Taejoo being HAPPY!!!
I have NO sympathies for Youngwoo. He was toxic as fuck and clearly suffocating Taejoo. If Taejoo didn't hear Youngwoo and Mr. Park arguing about his lies he probably would never know since Youngwoo was set on not letting him go. He could've thought about telling Taejoo the truth but nope in the end he only had himself to think about.
He also wished that Yoon was dead. Like OMG. Red Flag. Even if I have some kind of rival in love I would never wish for their death just to monopolize a lover. I had some sympathy for him from the beginning but after he mentioned that he wished Yoon was dead I lost all my pity for him.
Youngwoo is a horrible person. First of all no way they just "happened to kiss somehow". I full on believe that he kissed him while Taejoo was drunk cause he didn't think Taejoo would remember. Then Taejoo is drunk and vulnerable and he took advantage of his confusion (thinking Youngwoo is Yoon) to have sex with him. Like let's be real Youngwoo had dubcon sex or in my person opinion raped Taejoo. Then misleads Taejoo into thinking he is the rapist????
I feel so bad for Taejoo, and I see some people being like "oh he made his choice and he regretted it too late". Like let's be real he was heavily manipulated into that choice. Just imagine thinking you're a rapist and that you need to take care of your victim. He didn't want to let Yoon go, but his guilt towards Youngwoo made him prioritize Youngwoo's wants and needs rightfully so. Now does this make him a perfect person without any blame? Obviously not, but also did he deserve any of this? No.
Taejoo so clearly loved Yoon too. Like when he breaks up with Youngwoo, Youngwoo says they've been together for almost a year. Meaning that Taejoo kept looking for and missing Yoon for more than 4 years straight and the only reason why he had to stop is because he thought he raped Youngwoo. He wasn't like perfect by either obviously asking Youngwoo to stay even though he wanted to go but I mean his fears were proven correct when Yoon got hurt and disappeared for 5 years straight. Like even when they broke up properly the second time Taejoo was just such a good guy. Wholeheartedly believe that if Youngwoo didn't fucking do this shit that Yoon would still be with Taejoo for sure.
Not saying that I don't like Kwon I just feel for Taejoo you know? I feel like he suffered so much, to lose your boyfriend for 5 years and not knowing if they're dead or alive, then thinking you're a disgusting rapist, just to find out your boyfriend isn't actually dead but you still can't be with him, to then find out you were never a rapist but it's already too late to be with your true love. It's just depressing.
