True.
To be honest I prefer an open ending, since all of them clearly need some time before actually being in a relationship BUT since the author has said that there will be a pair in the end ( from what I remember..) so I just have to choose Joohae.
Taku is a really shallow character, he is also the only one who hasn't got a character development. Haesoo and Joowon are driving the plot and everything, while Taku is just...there, I honestly can't feel anything for him.
Also, most of these recent chapters are about solving obstacles surrounding Joowon and Haesoo, which will become invalid anyway if they aren't together in the end.
Taku gives off the typical second lead syndrome like he’s there to help the ‘main couple’ get together or realise their feelings
I can't for the love of God accept txh endgame. That'd be the WORST and most illogical route to go for ending this manhwa. That relationship has no depth whatsoever--it can't even be called a relationship it's a literal contract is what it is, a result of a person with what seems to be obsession pushing their ego on someone who is not interested (and that should'nt have been, really, but that sh*t flew anyway). T and H have had ZERO (0) chemistry and development as a couple. And not to mention the inexistence of mutual feelings in their relationship. Which is the reason why that shit is so f*ck*ng one-sided g*dd*mmit--
Never once, I repeat not even ONCE throughout the entire 85 chapters has Haesoo ever expressed, either verbally or non, romantic feelings for Taku. He just went along with whatever he wanted (because, reasons) like modelling for photo shoots despite disliking public appearances and dating him even tho he's clearly not into him?? Like, 99% of his involvement with him is for the sake of the plot unfolding. Furthermore most of the time he didn't even look that comfortable being in his company. He legit got chills (which tbh is a normal attitude toward a person trying to hit a deal with their p*rno in the first meeting) in that one chapter when he caught him staring while smiling at him.
So yeah that said since there's now only like what 5 or 10 (short) chapters left it completely wouldn't make sense if Haesoo suddenly 'caught feelings' for Taku in such a last-minute timing. That plot twist would be coming from nowhere but pulled outta one's *ss. Imma have to call b*llsh*t on that.. These two had entire three seasons to make it as a working couple but they didn't do that.
Also their dynamic is so off. I mean, they both are kinda these stiff emotionless poker-faced antisocials so it makes their dynamic rather boring.. And their interactions are painfully awkward too..
Like, you gotta mix it up, ya know?
Like, what do you get when you pair a slice of boring bread with another slice of boring bread? A piece of even more boring not-sandwich lol (pardon my sad attempt at joking).
Also Taku and Haesoo both look like bottoms so that should be the first no-go lmao
