Nah man i think the hate comes from the toxicity... like fr they both ruin each other
I agree that it’s toxic but people use the fact that they’re kinda like brothers as a reason to hate
they're running out of reasons to deny the possibility of development in their relationship. in the first season everyone hated it cause it was "toxic". but because of joowon's character development in season 2 they divert to the "stepbrother excuse" cause theres no other way to hate him otherwise
You’re 100% right
bruh really never heard of that reason .. id think that people were into that (im not in to that btw lmao)
People keep saying that it’s basically incest, but they only met in high school and are not blood related
And those same people love Cherry Blossoms, where the two characters live together since childhood and are legally brothers bc the mom adopted him.
