The main girl is adorable but I felt bad for Akira she didn’t really deserve that like why was Shika upset when she didn’t acknowledge her feelings even though she was allowed to get hurt? I loved Shiika but that ending left me with a bad taste in the mouth... I just imagine myself as akira who was ignored and yeah she just had to accept it because she was left with no choice ╥﹏╥
I don’t really get why the daughter gets so disliked here.... nobody’s born mature and perfect. U can dislike her actions for sure but blaming her actions for problems of « immaturity » isn’t really fair because she’s a child and people gain in maturity while growing and experiencing. So I can see why people dislike her behavior but I can feel sympathy towards her, I wouldn’t imagine a different reaction to finding out my dad and my underage friend meeting up...
I clap my hands at her choice to leave the house, that'd definately give her the necessary experience to move on. At that point she'll have two possible choices, 1.- She understands her father but ultimately decide to keep separate ways. 2.- She deny and cut all ties with her father. Either way they can't sit on the same table as a family again, not without therapy though, and they both have to be willing.
This story was really interesting with crazy development but I don’t feel any sympathy towards the female lead... everybody in the comments section seems to love her (which everybody has their own opinion) but clearly she is twisted¿ I don’t dislike the « revenge » she had against the family but just her as a character she still is despicable tho with how she hurts bunch of people, I specifically dislike the adultery. But anyways I’m not rlly complaining that’s the whole story purpose (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
I’m so confused like what are people talking about how Taku showed his « true side » like what did he hide? He’s always been like that and been knew. True he was playing dirty with the phone convo but that was his way of defending himself ? Like there’s no « pure and innocent » character in this plot this ain’t some fluffy stuff lmao (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
You are not wrong, but not fully right either, dude.
When I read this for first time, I saw through Joowon and Taku. I thought Joowon was asshole with good intention, and Taku was "clearly" a smooth manipulator.
But then I read the comments about how bad Joowon was and how "sincere" Taku was (sure also there's a lot of other perspective too). And I read for like nth times while considering from the eyes of other perspective, it's true that we could also see Taku as sincere, in early chapters and Joowon indeed could be seen as that bad (I'm saying from other perspective).
Then now a lot of people finally can understand Joowon's pain or intention. Not only focusing on him being asshole. And there's also people start seeing Taku « true side ».
While you are right, I can see Taku like what you said "He’s always been like that and been knew" too since beginning. But I overlook the most important part: character development that keeps unraveling as the chapter goes. I hope that answered your first question(?)
Okay, I will give you some reasons why I think Taku is a smooth manipulator. But if you still don't think he is, then it's fine, you don't have to think like me, ok? ;) perceiving someone's character is really personal so we can have differ pov here. This gonna be long *sigh*.
I assume that you already know that T has prosopagnosia and he wanted to be interviewed by H bcs he's interested in Haesoo's face and his writings about J.
First, in the first encounter with H, T told him that he filmed a porn video before. I indicated 3 things from here: he wanted to make strong impression, he wanted to tell H about his sexuality, and he wanted to play H a mind game. By telling his secret he kept from public the most, he indirectly gave H a moral burden, would H expose about that or not? H was quick to catch on, if he gave the card to H, then he must have ulterior motive, right? Yes, he told H to be his model! But at first H thought that T only wanted to sleep with him.
Second, he knew about H relationship with J, then Leo gave him photo that comfirmed their relationship. He played mind game again when he said "You can use me, in fact I prefer that way". Remember that H didn't know anything about T at this point, yet T knew eveything, the knowledge imbalance is beyond creepy. It's easy to manipulate in this position. Then T kept telling H what he wanted to hear, like that H needing change, that he loved him, telling him sweet and soothing words, indirectly feeding his anxiety about J. He even didn't deny that he told H what he wanted to hear. I think all of that is manipulation, whether T is aware or not.
He wanted to capture "losing beloved one" from H face (and J too), bcs he thought that H looked pretty in it. I mean he might not mean it as intentional, but it's clearly intentional, like why would he suggest that theme while the he knew H (and J) was in that condition irl?
And he used to say that he couldn't differentiate between "like" as lover and as art object. But, maybe T finally knew now and his feeling is now sincere idk.
What you stated is indeed what happened but the word « manipulator » obviously has a negative connotation. But the thing is at the end is Taku evil? Does he have bad motives? I guess that’s how it all started but there hasn’t been enough development about his « motives » Specially at the time but based on the recent chapters there seems to be a drastic change and that just wouldn’t make sense to me that manipulating haesoo was his plan all along.
I dunno? Hahaha
One thing for sure is he wanted Haesoo to be the model for his personal exhibiton (and he succeed!).
The relationship between H and J piqued his interest so he wanted to be in it. But I guess that's only because he's genuinely interested in Haesoo (as art or for unknown reason at first maybe), and later he's catching feeling for real. I kinda like their relationship development tbh (but I still think that T's a manipulator!).
But I still don't get it why he went such length to fight Joowon, or tell H sweet things like he would forever stay by Haesoo's side. Like seriously for what? Did he really think he could love H more than Joowon? Will he? If yes, then alright if not then I don't know what's all of that for ..
I don't mean to give a definition for Taku :(( yes, indeed he's manipulative ... but he's not just a 'manipulator', he's a good guy, and he's more than just than that ... I hope people will like Taku, but acknowledge his flaws too. I love three of them equally tbh♡♡
Taku is more than a stalker/manipulator, Joowon is more than an asshole, and Haesoo is not a slut. They are all beautiful characters :((((
If you put it that way you are right. They all have deep personalities and I think that they all deserve love. I also think that J love H very deeply and after the last chapter I´ve confirmed what I thought since the beginning, that J lied to H when they were young and tried to keep him away from him emotionally because he wanted to protect Haesoo´s heart... but his choices were not the best...
This story gives me so much frustration I don’t Know what bothers me the most the guy having no feelings of guilt over his girlfriend and continuously cheating or the girl not being bothered about him actually having a girlfriend and peacefully going on in the relationship ugh that ain’t cute I feel like in a bad state of mind after reading that.
