I completely agree with you the people in the comments come at you if you don’t ship “k” and him together I for one don’t because the joowon has been there since they were teens and they were each others first(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Because here like 80% ship haesso with taku all people who dare say they ship him with joowon get more dislikes than likes even if they're being respectful.. its disgusting.
I took a look at the raws and i think joowon turned out to be like he is now because of the trauma he had with the mother causing him fear to be in a healthy relationship with haesoo, its kinda sad(?).. I just wanted to see the chapter translated.
I don't think you need to 'know what it's like to be in a toxic relationship' to enjoy a great story that expands on diverse human relationships between characters. I have just started recovering from an abusive relationship and I think it's great to see different aspects of love, attachment, abuse and all those conflicting feeling and maybe hope for a healthy development as an alternative to ditching the problem to immediately run in the arms of the first guy who says he's interested. I think Taku is an interesting character but could be used to mend the broken relationship with Joowon (▰˘◡˘▰)
Could be the bandwagon effect. People jump on the most hated side to justify the other as more acceptable. I stop caring — we can't change people's mind and nor could they change mine.
Indeed Joowon's not perfect and all and so is Haesoo, and that's exactly what the author is trying to capture: An odd couple with a complex love-hate relationship. Taku's intervention will either fuel their fire or extinguish their fire. Haesoo might end up with any of them, or maybe no one. We don't know. That's the essence, right? I think better not be bothered by their hates (it's their own problem to deal) and rather just enjoy how the story will go.
Please read all before coming with the dislikes.
I'm on team joowon because i find their dynamic to be more interesting. Taku is indeed an interesting character because we dont know his intentions yet, but for all we know they can not be all great too.
Now, i do i think the relationship between haesoo and joowon is toxic atm? Yes it is, if this was real life then maybe i wouldnt wanted them to get together.
However fiction is often used to create stories you dont see much everyday in our society because of morals and what not, so i do like them together in this.
I would just appreciate if the taku x haesoo shippers here would stop telling us we dont know what it is to be in a toxic relationship (i for once do think of course those are unhealthy). This is a story created by a person therefore its not about the lives of some real living people, let people who like fucked up relationships in stories like what they want ffs.
