*WARNING* Long rant of a Team Taku These salty Joowon stans on the comment section saying...

context matters. taku confessed because it was easy to. under any circumstances joowon would’ve too, but there was a lot going on there. taku didn’t have the balls, he had the circumstances.

I got tired of defending Joowon anymore. Thats why i am saying that if he really doesnt want to have a proper relationship with Haesoo and talk the shit out with him, then stop. Let Haesoo go. Haesoo had enough, what he needs is love and reassurance not half-assed excuses. If Joowon cant fight for Haesoo in the first place, then u know something’s wrong, it took them long enough and nothing’s still happening? How much time does Joowon need to fight his love for Haesoo? How much pain does Haesoo has to endure for Joowon to fight for him and choose him?

And yes, Taku has the balls. The fact that he admit his mistake shows that he has.

Wow, Joowon was selfish?!!! Bro, thanks for the news! No wonder why Joowon had character development in these recent chapters when he realized he shouldn't have been that way. S H O O K I would've NEVER came to realize if it weren't for you.
And... Omg... Joowon was... A contradiction between what he wanted and what the relationship he proposed establish? ... Just like Haesoo? (⊙…⊙ ) NO WAY! My world is FALLING APART. You opened my eyes, I thank you with my life.

Sarcasm aside, and coming from someone who likes Joowon and doesn't want him to end up with Haesoo, I get your point, but you were kinda mixing up the situations. The "Don't fall me" situation happened thanks to the mother discovering them and the possibility of being separated, Joowon did stop the romantic relationship and even tho he still wanted to be close with Haesoo, he maintained the promise of acting normal to the mother and Haesoo. Even with this, he still ends up alone since Haesoo was taking away many years.

It was only when they met again as adults (and with their parent's marriage being over) that Joowon proposed an open relationship where they don't have to commit to anything since he thought they wouldn't have to confront their problems. Now he came to see how wrong he was for this and started to regret thinking his way was the only way to be with Haesoo, both of them participated in a jealousy game where they found joy and even relevance in constantly proving themselves thanks to the existence of other partners. We know it was wrong and that this should have never been normal, especially since Haesoo started doing this out of spite and with Joowon not wanting to share the emotional part of Haesoo. They were both dumb and now he sees why.

And Joowon is currently not fighting for Haesoo because, how can he do that the other told him that he likes Taku and that he doesn't love him anymore? That would be selfish on his part. Yes, he regrets it and constantly thinks of "If I only" situations but him stepping aside and taking time to digest himself was the most mature thing he could've done.

Yup he is indeed selfish he realized that he has to undergo some character development because Haesoo’s slipping on his grip. He should have done it long ago, he has all the chance to change, took him long enough to make him realize that he badly needs character development because why??? He face someone who can deal with him lol!!! I bet if Taku’s not on the scene, and doesnt belong to this story, Joowon wont change HAHAHAHA i mean seriousllyyyty dude Joowon and Haesoo met when they were still in high school, Joowon didnt even take a time to think for a change but okay, then college still nothing happen, then they have their own job, still nothing, then Taku appear

joowon: “Opps character development here i come” And you call this love??? Hahahahahahaha is love this shallow for you? I wonder what will be your reaction if you put yourself on Haesoo’s shoes. Nah, i will never settle for less. Lol!!!

That’s why im saying that Joowon doesnt have the balls. He put his doubt and fear first over what he really feels for Haesoo, it means his love for Haesoo is too shallow to defeat the fears he felt. And really?? Joowon already loss his guts after hearing Haesoo’s he likes Taku? And that’s the reason why im saying that Taku has the balls because he knows that Haesoo’s dead over heels to Joowon, but he still confessed his feelings to Haesoo without even knowing if he really has the chance because it’s not easy to win someone’s heart who is in love with someone else for a long time. Joowon loved Haesoo, no doubt, but he shouldve settle everything and fight for him. Timing

Oh yeah? Then what do you call pressuring someone who's not interested into a relationship with you? BIG TIME selfish. And not all Joowon stans think Taku's a pretty face? I, for instance, find his looks extremely off-putting. The only thing I agree on in your whole argument is that it won't be Taku's loss if Haesoo rejects him--better not be we don't wanna see a certain mophead fly home to Japan crying.

Context is so extremely important lol of course taku can confess easily, there’s no hardship for him?? There’s nothing stopping him from doing so, so of course he can do that easily. But for joowon his situation is much more difficult firstly their family secondly his career, you need to take that into account.

Hahaha yes, Joowon is a coward. Joowon in the most recent Korean chapters questions himself why he can never be brave when the situation is on point. I also know that Joowon didn't want to change since he, at the time, didn't have any regrets because he thought he was right and the situation basically force him to change. The man was that selfish, I give you that.
I wouldn't call letting Haesoo go "losing guts", it's just him respecting what Haesoo said. Something that he stopped doing since somehow everything went his way for a long time. It's not only Haesoo saying he likes Taku, Haesoo said he doesn't love him and he is not willing to do the sacrifices that come with him being in a relationship with Joowon. He told him he doesn't want to lose his life or his mom for him. Heck, Joowon proposed to restart again and change everything but still Haesoo left. It's most likely that Joowon will do his last try for Haesoo, but him stepping aside while respecting what the other said to him was mature. If he immediately fought for Haesoo's love before realizing his own mistakes, he would have repeated the cycle again and again. He wouldn't understand why Haesoo doesn't distance himself.
And for the point of Taku's guts... Well, yeah? I personally never liked how Taku was "brave" with his confessions. The first time he said "I love you" he didn't actually feel it, at that time he just liked Haesoo. The time where he asked Haesoo to be his boyfriend after being turned down many times, he begged on his knees after confessing the s*x tape situation and basically said "If you care about me, kiss me" "That's my selfish love"... Ok, bro. But yeah, he was brave I guess but I didn't like how he did it.

I agree with this. As someone who likes Taku, i dont want him to end up with Heasoo. What the three of them need is a freakin therapist who can deal with their shits. And as someone who likes Taku, he's indeed selfish too, but he's not as selfish as the other two. I am not saying that he's the best, but if I will ever compare him with the other two he is not the worse. Why? because he immediately admit his mistake as soon as he realized that he's in love with Haesoo, on the other hand, Joowon had to meet someone on his level to make him realize that he badly needs a change.

Yes, he indeed is selfish but you're right about him not being as damage as Haesoo and Joowon. Those need two need a whole next level healing process that I genuinely think won't happen throughout a new relationship or if they don't let each other go. Taku still got time to get out there before he hurts himself or hurt others even more. Haesoo did try to love Taku and be the boyfriend he was supposed to be but every time he thought about Joowon he blamed himself and somehow made the situation his fault, he hasn't come to terms with anything that has happened, and having a boyfriend (who supposedly is his priority) it's indirectly putting pressure on him. Taku did help to change the dynamic between these two but this experience also humanized him, everyone learned something out everybody. I will 100% respect Taku if he is the one who ends the relationship, he needs to realize that nothing good can come from being used or accepting shallow feelings. Keeping a partner that cannot reciprocate your feelings it's not good not only for them but for you as well.

Damm u could have said this to my post if u were gonna do this . and every guy haesoo is in a relationship with isnt that serious if he was then he would have told joowon to stop fucking around w him ages ago and joowon is the one who always want to spend time with but Haesoo is the one who keeps him pushing away.

and I wasnt being salty when I asked that. I wanted to know the reason why people like him.
