The end -- official ch 100

Totally agree with your rating and comments. Idk whats wrong with the other readers who says taejuu’s chara devt was bare minimum or lacking, like he did not just do a 180, in a very smooth way, spent 2 seasons trying to be good and deserving of euihyun and ask forgiveness (ive lost count how many times he said he was sorry tbh) and tried to correct his past actions. I really love the moments when he knelt, reduced to nothing infront of the consequences of his past actions, and when he hyperventilated when euuhyun goes near any water bodies. Just chefs kiss.

Exactly. Taeju's chara development was undeniably there in the story -- he was even trying to leave the family crime organization.

Rightt? He literally got shot for him. Also, its not that the standard for redemption arcs is low, its because the way it was written was nicely done too. It didnt felt like he changed and got replaced for him to be a good guy, but teajuu always looks at euihyun fondly since day one, it was his treatment to euihyun and how he shows his love that changed and how he as a person also grow to learn from it, and show a more healthy love (it was slowly explained and built up that it felt smooth and natural reading it) That way euihyun was also able to grow as a person to love himself thru taejuu (who convinced him, like being tru to his wants and needs) i really love that scene too where he had a grown up talk with the kid, and he taught euihyun how to love too, which he applied to his relationship with taejuu during the hospital scene). Im super biased i love this bl to pieces, but in a technical standpoint i said what i said. Just that the ending was rushed thoo.

Yeah, the ending was def rushed. Cca. 15 should have been added to this 100 chapters. :D
