Why are we posting the official translation if this is being fan translated?
Just seems redundant. Why post official translations and keep fan translating? Renders the time spent translating wasted and the fan translations aren’t going to stop so it’s just an equally waste of time to upload the official. It should just be one or the other. Both is just redundant and waste of time for both parties.
Some of ya'll got to go back and read season 1 so you can get a better insight of Taewhan. And I'm not talking about starting at chapter 47. I mean read the whole thing. And to those comparing this to BJ Alex, Jiwon was such a bigger asshole to DG. He had no feelings whatsoever. Until like chapter 55 and he does a weird 180. Here in Banana Scandal, Taewhan is an asshole. But we know he has feelings AND a soft side. We have gotten to see behind his mask. How?
1: Invited Dojin to his parents house for a holiday weekend (and how Taehee first met Dojin)
2: Sided with Dojin in the whole Sangjin controversy (chapter 48), because they all knew S was an asshole. Thats how they became friends. And Taewhan began to trust Dojin because of how Dojin reacted to Sangjin.
3: Taewhan helped Taehee GET RID of Sangjin. Taehee turned to his brother for help and Taewhan was able to get stuff on him so Taehee could push him off of campus.
4: Taewhan loves his brother! (Enough to share a bed!) He's so protective of his brother! He helped Taehee get into school, gave him a roof over his head, and was upset when he wasn't told about him and Dojin!
5: Dojin FUCKING HITS HIM WITH A BOOK. Granted, only Dojin has the guts to do it. But after Dojin hits him and starts crying, Taewhan gets worried about him. He also recognizes Taehee's love for Dojin when he comes in.
In season 2, we learn that Taewhan felt a special attachment to Yeonwu. That he cherished the moments that they spent in that study room. We know that they were close. But Yeonwu did the #1 thing that Taewhan hates- TOUCH HIM IN HIS SLEEP! (as said in the TMI blurbs at the end of chapter 90. Like...Did no one pay attention to that, Dolsha gave us a huge insight on Taewhan!). Not only did Yeonwu touch Taewhan, HE KISSED HIM. That created a huge fallout. Yeonwu was going to let it go, but opportunity to FUCK HIS FIRST LOVE came and who would turn that down? ITS FUCKING TAEWHAN WOO! This whole thing is in Yeonwu's hands as much as it is Taewhan's. (And now we're learning that Taewhan doesn't want to let Yeonwu go again.) This is such a good story, it’s not just about the smut.
bruh YEAH when i read the sudden "omg im in love with dg" in bj alex i was like WHERE did that suddenly come from hahahah, him being suddenly really sweet and soft to dg was also so sudden and i just couldn't see all of that happening so fast w/o much of a sign of feelings other than petty jealousy when they were still having sex. like jiwon really didn't see dg as human,,, ever,,, and was such a shithead to him even tho dg had never done anything bad to jiwon.
on the other hand taehwan has an established past with yeonwoo, was betrayed by someone he trusted (which is really painful and can cause intense hatred/dislike just because of how violated and betrayed he felt)
oops sent w/o finishing: and despite his justified hatred for yeonwoo he still ends up showing his feelings for yeonwoo through his actions (though his thoughts are super,,, in denial). he also has seen yeonwoo as human (and even as a good person) back in high school so it's not as sudden or weird that he's catching feelings now
I used to think Ms. Choi was on Director Park’s side. That her warning of “confidentiality is the utmost importance” was about keeping Suha hidden. But now I’m thinking that she’s on Do Hyeok’s side.
She was always on the Tampon head’s side since childhood. (Spoiler involved)
1) Jiwoon was born from a mother who was from a less prestigious family than his father’s family. His grandmother (his father's mother) is a person who expects her family to be perfect to match their high status.
2) One day Jiwoon’s mother's family went bankrupt and collapsed. Jiwoon’s grandmother was very angry and couldn't accept that someone from a fallen family was in her house, so she kicked Jiwoon’s mother out.
Jiwoon’s father was very sad and disappointed in his mother (Jiwoon’s grandmother) who cares only about his family's honor, and went as far as disowning her daughter-in-law.
3) Jiwoon’s mother had to stay with her family to take care of the mess in her family, so Jiwoon only stayed with his father. But then his father also left, in the end both the mother and father went missing, most likely they ran away together, leaving poor Jiwoon behind.
They left Jiwoon with his grandmother when he was very young.
4) As time passed by, Jiwoon got emotionally unstable and lacked guidance and was given no proper affection because his parents were gone and he overheard that they abandoned him. Young Jiwoon threw a fit and hurt himself. His grandmother said she shouldn't have let Jiwoon’s mother of such low status marry her son, because such a mess - Jiwoon was born.
5) She sent Jiwoon to therapy and didn’t care about him, because her first grandson, which is Jiwoon’s cousin (red tampon haired bastard) was excellent in her eyes. She always prioritized and favoured the first grandson while neglecting Jiwoon. Without proper parental guidance and love, Jiwoon became like the present day him.
6) Jiwoon came back from “therapy" during middle school. As a child who grew up without his family's love and with being left behind by his parents, he grew to be very possessive and scared of abandonment, which showed when he fell for Suha.
But he also became rather dull, which also dissatisfied his grandmother. When Jiwoon came back, he met Suha, whose family was taken care of by his grandmother.
Alright wait a rucking minute. Are you talking about Manager Choi or the president? Oops I got their names mixed up. Ignore my first reply. Manager Choi and ML are working together against tampon head.
What no Ms Choi is on Jiwoon side. The person who said "confidentiality is the utmost importance" is the woman with grey hair who works under Red head and she is the one who handed the paper to red head.
There are two ladies, ms Choi and that grey hair bi*ch from red head side. That grey hair lady is the one who power abusing yoon in early chapters too
And when Jiwoon and Ms Choi asked yoon about evidence from red head, Yoon remembering what that grey hair lady warned him to keep things confidential (like flash back when he and that grey hair lady had conversations)
Yes you’re right! Thank you!! And what is the grey haired lady’s name? All I know is that the she works along with Yoon under the redhead
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I got them confused. My bad! Thank you for clearing that up!
The President, who is the grandma, is President Lee. The 'Utmost importance' lady is someone else.
Wait Jiwoon isn’t related to the grandma or takes his mother’s last name instead? Park Jiwoon is his full name, a Lee I know is Suha, Lee Suha.
Thank you for this info!
Suha is NOT related to Grandma President Lee. Lee is just a common last name. Suha’s father was close to President Lee (i think through work) so when his father passed away, President Lee took care of his family. In Korea, children take the last name of their father only and the women don’t change their last name. Grandma President Lee married a Park. They had two sons, Jiwoons dad And Do Hyeok’s dad (who we see in chp 79 and 80). In chapter 79 we find out that Jiwoon’s dad married a woman President Lee didn’t like and forced her out of the family. Jiwoon’s dad left to go after her and left Jiwoon with President Lee and Do Hyeok (later Suha). His dad never returned and President Lee expressed her hatred towards Jiwoon very openly. So Do Hyeok and Jiwoon are cousins. President Lee is their Grandma. Suha and his family is not related.
AH HA! Ms Jung is the “utmost importance lady. It’s in Chapter 78!!
Oh no I know Suha isn’t related to the grandmother, I’m just saying the only Lee I know of in this BL is Suha. And oh! Thank you so much for these info!
Ms Jung is who? The female secretary of tampon head or?
Yeah. Ms Jung is the female secretary of Do Hyeok. She’s the one who told Yoon to keep everything confidential. I got her mixed up with Ms Choi
Finally I know her name, I always say female secretary. Thank you!
