No, I don't think soo. They both love each other and want to give everything they have for each other as much as possible. And in relationship there is nothing called "balanced relationship". Doyoon was in a bottom of his despair when he saw Gyeol and fall in love.
Rather than guilt, they both loved each other because they wanted to be with someone, they didn’t wanted to be lonely, they wanted to be recognize.
Love is a psychological play (in my opinion) and we are more used see those fairytale love and think that both end need equal power to love each other. But in real life nothing called picture perfect love. We just love because we want to for thousands of reasons.
PEACE.
I get where you're coming from, and I don't necessarily disagree with you.
I was just saying why their dynamic isn't my favourite
As I've mentioned before, I don't believe that any of them is toxic
I also love the plot
Omg I agree! I don’t think either of them is toxic, but i feel like gyeol takes advantage of the fact that doyoon will always forgive him. Gyeol just acts cute and then doyoon falls for him and forgives him too easily. I know doyoon isn’t weak despite being in the fragile body he’s in, but sometimes gyeol just does whatever he wants without acknowledging how doyoon would feel about it. And I also feel like gyeol is way too overprotective, I understand he may feel like this because of the past and how he never really got to tell the “real” doyoon his feelings, but sometimes he needs to let doyoon handle his own problems and allow him to do what he wants.
Exactly
He's not a red flag or anything, but I'd feel so frustrated if my partner acted like a kicked puppy whenever he wanted to get away with something
But I guess Doyoon is okay with it, so idk (￣∇￣")
Ngl Gyeol is low-key manipulative
Well, not to the point of him being bad or toxic, but he DOES get what he wants from Doyoon by acting cute. Maybe if Doyoon didn't feel so guilty about Gyeol in the back of his mind it wouldn't have bothered me so much.
The way I see it is like this:
Doyoon feels guilty that he didn't notice Gyeol's feelings earlier and leaving him alone. He also loves Gyeol and wants to do whatever he can for him. He's also thankful to him for everything that he's done. AND he knows that Gyeol wouldn't abuse him and that he's trustworthy.
Even though he's not abusive and he doesn't push Doyoon too much, the presence of this power imbalance is a little bit inconveniencing, don't you think?
