Taekjoo is as bad as Zhenya. He’s a WALKING RED FLAG too. Just that Zhenya is more arrogant and shows it more, like a wild animal and Taekjoo is a little bit more reserved. Come on bro, if you’ve read the novel you’ll realise Taekjoo barely was with his mama. His mama was lonely and was less lonely when Zhenya had come over. He didn’t think twice about his mama and would continue to do his life risking job. I think he even hid it from his mama I forgor.
Why I think Taekjoo is worse than Zhenya is because although Taekjoo had a good upbringing, he turned out to be an absolute asshole. Even Taekjoo low-key raped that girl, what was her name? The blonde girl, short hair. She went “wait!” And he went “THRUST”. Zhenya on the other hand has 0 feelings because he wasn’t aware of it and had quiet hell of a backstory.
The rape seemed to also display a matter of dominance, who held more power. Might sound terribly vulgar but we’re talking about a story written by a man.
SPOILER DONT READ FURTHER BUT I ADVISE YOU READ IT TO UNDERSTAND:
It’s pretty cool actually especially when Zhenya was harassing a postman and then made him strip and realised he hated other men. He opened the letter and Taekjoo had solved one riddle of his and answered “BOOM” and there was explosion and Zhenya was so happy to see Taekjoo had returned.
The story goes VERY deep actually. It’s definitely worth your time.
