I honestly didn’t like this, it made me very uncomfortable... I read this manhwa on Lehzin and had to scroll so fast through it. Like, I guess I understand that it needed to happen (kinda) but he has a man who genuinely cares about him... who will probably be very hurt by this when it comes out (because we know it will come out)...
Man, it’s sad and so true. Really, everyone should have seen it coming.. Haesoo was in no place to love this man, and Taku knew that but still tried. At first he was just playing around, but his feelings changed the more he watched Haesoo struggle with his emotions. Haesoo wanted to love him, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. This breakup, as obvious as it was, was still heartbreaking..
I am intrigued to see how Haesoo replies to that final question, though, if it’s with tears or with a broken smile. If it’s with “I do” or “I did.” Because ending with just a question leaves so much opening for interpretation.
I personally don’t have a “side”. I honestly would like to see Haesoo block them both from his life and spend time alone, working on himself. The breakup was sad, to me, because they usually are not happy moments. I was not attached to the idea of him “traveling” and “living” with Taku. And I don’t pity or sympathize with Taku, because his intentions were not (initially) pure, and he only started liking Haesoo when he realized he couldn’t have him. And I of course don’t care for step-brother, because he had opportunities to be mature and missed them (by a long shot), and only wanted to/ actually started to change when he lost Haesoo. Like come on.
I agree with you to an extent. But also i feel like youre looking at the story one sidedly when it comes to Joowon.
Haesoo had many chances to make things right too. He was just as much at fault for their relationship. Joowon changed a hell a lot more than him. and even though jw made mistakes, he had good intentions from the start, thinking that keeping their r/s undefined would protect them. Just because he changed once he lost haesoo doesnt make his growth meaningless. Not when you account for all the pressures on him placed by his dad, his job, society.
He wasnt being he way he was just cause he carelessly felt like it (unlike Taku’s manipulative/selfish motivations, im sorry taku).
I agree Haesoo needs time for himself and to grow on his own. But also that Joowon deserves a lot more than what youre making it out to be. Just my opinion~
1st, I know step brother has a name. But I was typing my thoughts quickly and didn’t want to click all over the place to get to it. I remember Taku because it’s close to Taco, and for some reason Haesoo is programmed into my phone. My fellow human, I don’t remember names, I don’t remember faces. I remember situations, and if that’s gonna make you mad, aight then. Seriously... It’s my best friend who remembers names of my ex’s, and I’m always like “oh yes, that’s their name. I remember what they said to me at x time on x date at x place, but their name eludes me.” I’ve even met people multiple times (for work) and have to be like “yeah, I don’t know your name. I know I met you at x time/place, but I’ve misplaced your name.” Straight up either fake it til I make it, or flat out ask them.
2nd, my opinions are my opinions and I put “unpopular” because I know there are people who won’t agree with me. Which you don’t have to. That’s fine. And the characters are all ugly in their human-ness. It’s beautiful to me how they are developed, created, and crafted to not be perfect. But so many people are crying for Taku, and I personally don’t agree with that. And if you’d like to actually share any opinions on how I’m “missing” things. Please feel free to share. I’m pretty sure I’ve read everything, a couple times, and my opinion is “they are both still immature, they are both putting pressure on themselves, they might not BE stepbrothers now, but they were and their parents were trying to get back together, so that’s added stress. They care too much about what others think about their relationship. They need to actually take a real break, instead of being forced apart by their parents, to really think over their emotions. If it works later on, good, but it’ll happen on their own accord.” And Taku, he’s a sweet bean, but he was put there to learn that humans have feelings, and so does he. This was a beautiful learning opportunity for both him, and Haesoo, and he did a lot of growing. But him and Haesoo weren’t meant to be.
3rd, about your spoiler: okay? Good. That’s what I wanted anyways. you can take a break and then rekindle your relationship at another time. That’s fine with me, I was saying he needed to be by himself instead of sleeping around and trying to avoid being alone (and the emotions that come with being alone). And they need to separate and come back on their own, not because of their parents... so good for them. 3 is one of my favorite numbers too, so kudos to them.
The spoiler honestly makes me more happy, so thanks.
No, joowon needs to be happy. I want him to be happy. But Haesoo dipping out doesn’t mean the Joowon can’t be happy. Seriously, I get the idea (and the romanticizing) that there is only one human out there for someone, but that’s not necessarily true.
I’m not calling Joowon out to be a bad guy. He isn’t a bad guy, and neither is Taku. I’m just saying: nay nay, go your separate ways. You can always come back, but love yourself a little bit before than. They’re both blaming themselves, when loving each other isn’t a crime, and because of that they’ve created a lot of tension and insecurities between them. They haven’t handled any of the situations properly, and were both immature in their decision making. Take a break, find yourself, restart later on.
I’m really sorry if I seems rude... the was not my goal,
Thanks you for your answers, and yes your right we all have some different opinion and that okay ^^ i respect yours :)
I just think that they were very immature, for being together, joowon was to sure of his feeling for Heasoo, and Heasoo was not honest,
they always think that their parents would get back together, specially Heasoo who was afraid
to disappoint his mother even more,
I don’t remember the chapter around 88, maybe We understand that their parents don’t really love each other, and they are not going to get back together.
It’s just People always ask Joowon to make some effort for Heasoo, that he missed the chance for being with him etc that’s he was immature .... but in a relationship you’re are not alone ? heasoo has always fled his love for him,and I don’t think he was more mature than him...
A lot of people want heasoo to take time for him, and that what he did
I’m sorry if I make a lot of mistakes my English isn’t great^^
Homeboy has hypothyroidism... that’s the only reason I want to read this now. As someone who’s had thyroid cancer and is currently struggling with/ has been struggling, for 2 years, with the medication (which can cause symptoms of both hyper and hypo-thyroidism depending on dosage), I want to know how this character is.
When I am hyper I have all the energy in the world, but permanent exhaustion, as well as intense surges of rage. I don’t know how many readers on here have similar health complications. I’m intrigued tho.
Dude is a straight man, filled with innocence, it would be kinda weird if he was just like “oh yes, my doctor is hitting on me.” Maybe “oh, is my doctor hitting on me?”
On gawd
