**- The guy who, while sleeping with Haesoo tells him not to fall in love with him;
Yes! Say it louder for the people in back. People are getting so desperate looking for
lame excuses or making up ridiculous theories so they won't have to root for Taku. They are just reaching now and doing the most.
I don't like Taku because .... ( lists all the bad things you wish the guy will do so he will be just as much as asshole as Joowon and therefore not be the better partner that Haesoo needs).
Basically the summary of all the reasoning people give in order to not like Taku.
I mean I feel the standards set for Taku are absolutely high:
- He can't have a porn star friend;
- He can't work in Korea and meet Haesoo or Joowon;
- He can't flirt with Haesoo and say 'Use me' ( sorry, I have to laugh at this 'ulterior motive)
- He can't stare at Haesoo;
- He has to be in love with Haesoo by now because you know, the guy who is sleeping with Haesoo for years can hardly treat him with respect but God Forbid if Taku still is figuring out what he feels for Haesoo after sleeping with him once.
In other words, the guy you don't like based on things you hypothetically wish he will do is shady and has ill intentions and absolutely has no right to fall in love with Haesoo and be rooted for but Joowon:
- The guy who while sleeping with Haesoo tells him not to sleep with him;
- The guy who treats Haesoo as booty call and only now after years is thinking of putting a ring on his pet
-The guy who pressures Haesoo to give him a blowjob even if he doesn't want to;
- The guy who makes Haesoo miserable to the point of self harm,
This guy is worth rooting for but Taku saying ' Use me' while flirting with Haesoo is what crosses the line of 'ulterior motives'?
I mean, no one needs a motive to like a character but it's funny the lengths that people go to justify their taste. Maybe Taku will turn out to be the boogeyman that Joowon shippers are trying and hoping so hard for him to be... but can we all be honest and say that it would make a fucking difference to you? If Joowon beat up Haesoo, made him cry, if Joowon is your favorite, you will explain away and even if Taku were the best husband out there you would still not like him.
I just think that if you are going to give a reason to like or dislike a character, maybe wait for the reason to show up.... Say I don't like X for no reason at all but let me give you a list of reasons that would be good if they existed.
People, Taku has done NOTHING YET to be disliked based on actions. Zilch.
If you want to dislike him just because he is Joowon rival, that's ok.
