Idk who Seungho is but Taeju actually went through a self-deprecating period where he even developed a trauma relating to euihyun and wasn't even able to leave him alone without going into a panic. In my opinion, the redemption was handled pretty well in that story, plus, euihyun played a big part as he stood his ground against taeju and wasn't in love with him nor accept him until AFTER he redeemed himself. Dan on the other hand cries about everything and even fell in love with the man who abused him and never showed him a shroud of kindness. He wont need much to grovel at Jks feet, that's what the author is showing through his character right now.
Yeah at least he got a character development but I wouldn't say he is a massive green flag though, but then again I didn't follow up the manhwa so I can't say for sure, it's just weird on how fast people switched up after what the Euihyun went through. But I do love the fact Euihyun stood on his ground and never folded easily compared to Dan though! I'm considering reading back after your statement here as well (Seungho is from Painter Of The Night, i think?? i forgot as well sorry if I'm wrong on this part) But, I think they're referring to the fact that these two characters had rxped the mcs?
Seungho is from painter of the night and I know the plot of low tide in Twilight and I know how Taeju worked for his redemption (infact I like it). My point was Taeju was 5x more horrible towards the MC and he was still able to redeem himself so jjk is way easier to redeem as a character. Regarding the execution why are you already assuming that Mingwa won't be able to provide justice lol? It's not even been 5 chapters yet. We don't even know how the plot will take the course and it seems like you have already decided that no matter what the redemption gonna be shit because in that case nothing will satisfy you no matter how Mingwa writes.
Yk he's just a jackass and an asshole but to me he's one of the easiest redeemable TOPS correct me if I'm wrong, he never raped MCs but asshole-ish just say leave or take the money kind of thing right? He's like a massive Tsundere with extremely violent tendencies and clearly doesn't acknowledge nor understand emotional queues. Though, I hope he had a wretching backstory like Jiwon at least (referring to the author's old work). He really comes off bad because of his personality (and how he treats other ppl) so we wait for the redeemed character of jjk and see how the comment section differs, I hope it won't disappoint me as well. I'm guessing it'll be him trying to understand Kim Dan a bit more better and becoming a better person (similar to Jiwon). I don't have high hopes though.
Well what he did I would still call it as dubious with the way he behaved with him in the earlier chapters. I have a different opinion on this it would be really interesting if he doesn't have any sad backstory lol. Him later on trying to amend for his actions by trying to become a better person would give more weightage to me. Also here Taeju falls in the same category and that's why I loved his redemption so much more! Mingwa has already said Jaekyung will grovel like he should and I'm just gonna wait and see how it turns out.
While you have a good point calling out my assumption, I cant help but assume cause I've read Bj Alex. People want to act like "that" was redemption when all Alex had to do was say "sowwy, I wuv you ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶" and the bottom immediately accepted him. I can't say from that terrible writing that I have the most hope about how this will go. All I'll say is, there is nothing satisfying about a submissive guy accepting a half-ass apology. If the writer can give Dan some development (and hopefully some balls) before tackling Jk then I will eat my words. Don't get me wrong, I WANT this to be good, I'm not just a hater.
I personally find Danny best uke ever <3 no doubt bout that, but I don't care much about him... I want him to end up with seme because jjk likes him, if he liked potato I would ship jjk x potato ^^ I'm more analysising semes attitudes in yaoi than uke, because ukes already seen and reviewed, semes are more unpredictable
Dw I get your point but I will say one thing I know peeps judge Mingwa on the basis of what she did in BJ Alex but gosh she probably came up with that story and drafted
it like 10 years ago and it was her first BL ever. She as a writer and an illustrator must have definitely went through a lot of changes. I feel like it's unfair compare her ongoing current work with her very first one.
Funny how everyone seems to like Dan, saying he's a sweety and his life is so sad yet still wants him to end up with the fucker that is responsible for part of his trauma. There is no form of redeeming that Jk could go through that will ever make him worth Dan's affection but I'm curious as to how this author will "try" to accomplish that.
