I totally agree. I think jowoon is the only one who is honest about his feelings. For the photographer, I thought he is this chill guy, who does his own thing, but when he said that haesoo can use him and all that, I got a very bad impression. I think even though it seems haesoo fails to recognize he was the one who started this game with jowoon, I actually think that he is holding onto him and letting him come back to him, because he feels guilty deep down.
I think that the brothers are so fuck up, they're a mess, ther hurt each other because is the way the are between them. And i think Taku, the photographer, is some problematic brat. He smelled the weird relationship between brothera and just through himself in the middle. He also wants drama.
Throw himself*
i see some of your points. however, i feel like if haesoo is pissing you off then jowoon should piss you off too. as far as i see, no ones painting him to be the bad guy but he’s showing signs of possessiveness. i don’t detect any romantic feelings from him. haesoo isn’t a victim but he’s not the only asshole in this book. jowoon is just as problematic as he is because their relationship is fucked up due to BOTH of their efforts. it’s 50/50.
thank you. I dont think anyone was trying to say that joowon is worse but ppl keep saying he's innocent when he's not and ppl are just pointing out that he's not innocent
Yup, Jowoon is problematic as well. They're both grey and I like that about this story. I think Haesoo is pissing me off more because the story is mostly told from his point of view (at least for scenes that imply inner monologues) ; because of that, we get to see him ponder about things a lot, and either switch or ignore the part he plays in this mess. Maybe Jowoon is the same and we just haven't seen it as much yet, but for now Haesoo is the one who seems to find comfort in his misery. Which is hard for me not to get annoyed over.
Also I felt that people were defending him more reading the comments but I do admit that I didn't go through all of it, it might be a false impression.
I find it weird that most people seem to say "but Jowoon doesn't really like Haesoo" by saying he's only peing possessive and point him as a "bad guy". We've seen multiple times that Haesoo wanted him to be jealous/possessive/get angry so that he'd know Jowoon cares to an extent. Did Jowoon make Haesoo like that (uncaring, unable to get attached and have a serious relationship) or was it the other way around ? Haesoo keeps saying "you don't even care ahaha" but I think that deep down he doesn't want him to care.
In the end I think Jowoon should show more affection but in order to do so Haesoo has to allow him to show more affection without running away, fuck it away or brushing it off. Which he won't do, apparently. Not saying that Jowoon would necessarily do so either, but I have the feeling he isn't the most problematic one right now.
So I'll be waiting for an explanation of some sort but Haesoo is starting to piss me off. I hope he realizes he isn't an innocent victim and that, yes, he can do shit about his situation.
