@ the silent taku stans that consistently dislike my comments despite them literally just being discussions about the story, here’s a cold truth: there have been no signs pointing to a taku ending. haesoo and joowon have been running this story since day one. they drive the plot, the characterization, the drama. So far every problem that prevented their relationship has been solved/looks like it will be solved in future chapters.
as always i’m open to opposing views...but i literally never get anything besides petty dislikes
Agree with everything. I don't see any closure at all between joohae in this new chapter. More like this chapter shows jooowon's character development.
agreed. if anything i think it further emphasizes the contrast between joowon and taku. whereas joowon is willing to let haesoo go for the sake of his happiness, taku is not.
Yeah. Also the fight between their parents is the biggest sign for me of joohae endgame. Their parents is the biggest obstacle of their relationship. If joohae not endgame, what's the point of ruining the relationship between their parents?
This! I can NOT emphasize enough how important this is. To be completely honest, if this scene didn’t happen I’d be thinking joohae closure too. but that fact that it DID, at this point in the story too, indicates that joowon and haesoo still have more ahead of them. that and the fact that their convo wasn’t satisfying and i don’t think they talked about their feeling at all.
the way haesoo went “ah” about the exhibit honestly makes it look like he forgot about it
They don't talk about their feeling or relationship at all, so how can that scene be the closure lol. For me, if there is a closure, that can only happened after joowon confessing. Joowon already said that he regret not telling haesoo how he feels. Why would youngdam make that scene of joowon regretting this, if they gonna make joowon ends up not confessing (again)?
literally. no ones moving on or rejecting anything when there’s yet to be anything to move on from or reject. stuff needs to be said.
if this af the climax of the Haesoo/Joowon drama then honestly it would be bad writing, but I really don't think that's the case.
there has been so much lead up over the last 20 ch at some sort of major breakthrough between haesoo and Joowon and ch 86 was not it lol
Indeed, as you said author almost left signs we need to see who's gonna endgame or what's going to happen, haesoo mother calling jowoon's dad that he's selfish while clearly she's the one who's selfish here. Ah.. bt jowoon is really calm here that's one of the reason for haesoo to surprise tho.
YES
facts period, honestly tho taku stans need to see a therapist
y’all are so quick to hop on the joohae closure train every time a new chapter is released i swear can’t trust anybody. (as a joowon stan i fully recognize bias, but for this post I really am just trying to point out what i see narratively)
friendly reminder that in the case of a comic medium, every individual panel is important and has a purpose, so yes I do think a lot about haesoo’s mom being brought into the scandal.
as we’ve seen, one of the biggest reasons why haesoo broke up with joowon was because he prioritized his fragile relationship with his mom. seeing as she appears pretty genuine in her attempt to make amends...call me crazy but it does look like she’s realizing how important joowon was/is to haesoo. there’s a point to every panel—overlook one and you miss what’s going on in the background. additionally, the focus on the way haesoo went “ah” after joowon mentioned the exhibit speaks wonders.
that aside it still feels like we haven’t reached the climax. the way you guys think this story will just end lamely with haesoo going to eat with taku...boring (although an accurate representation of their relationship). I do expect/hope something will occur that will force haesoo to choose, once and for all. otherwise...it’d be pretty anticlimactic
