Idk why some of yall open Love or Hate and expect nonsense fluff, or porn with a semi-coherent plot. Like no: this story is not your average BL with little to no depth or direction. The ppl that read the story and all they get out of it is “tHe cHarCateRs aRe tOxIc” and then get angry, dont really seem to be thinking while reading. So if you want to shut off your brain when reading ig, then Love of Hate isnt for you.
The characters presented in loh are very carefully layered. From their background to their careers. Their actions throughout the story in hindsight are honestly similar to regular ass humans (except taku at the start was kinda described to have sociopathic tendencies but whtv lol): they all exhibit selfish qualities, they show a degree of immaturity or possessiveness, or manipulation. In reality thats how ppl are. They arent downright monsters, and they arent saints. When faced with their feelings or trapped in complicated and difficult situations (like joowon and haesoo’s step sibling past), characters tend to make mistakes and act irrationally. Just like regular people do.
So yeah dont bother reading LOH if you dont want genuinely flawed characters with some ugly qualities and bad decision making that reflect real ppl.
