I kinda see what you're saying, and I agree Taku was super manipulative towards Haesoo... especially at the start. I agree his words in chapter 99 towards Haesoo were uncalled for. However I do believe that he (without trying to) forced Haesoo to face his feelings with the exhibition, so we can thank him for that lmaooo
Right, he was the device to bring them together and force them to face their true feelings, but that was never his true intention which is why I won't give him any credit for it. I think people forget that was his role in this story which still was piggybacking the leads. The writer is being very kind right now to Taku fans who from what I hear don't really deserve it, and still, they are complaining about his pain. lol Please.
lol true true, it definitely wasn't him trying to help haesoo thats for sure
lmaooo why do i feel like taku was supposed to be more antagonistic. but yh wrote it more subtly to make it more realistic. and readers who decided they dont want to read and just flip through for pretty pictures and sex scenes started rooting for him despite all his manipulative ass behavior. like i cant believe people overlook how he literally got to joowon's emotions and made him lose his composure and hurt himself with that glass cup during that photoshoot
(╬￣皿￣) it infuriated me
Even though i'm taku fan i never thought him like that but you make me realize is a bit. I don't root for jowoon cause i'm not a fan of stepbro(idk it make me a little uncomfortable). And I was totally become a taku stan at first sight(taku is somewhat fresh and new ).But he still younger than both of them and heesoo was his first official dating person.I know he will be the second person. Taku was someone who imagine a happy ever after but doesn't expect a sad ending
I totally agree, and I have a visceral hatred for this character. From early on with the photo shoots, Joowon’s and Haesoo’s, it was clear that he was feeding off of their pain and confusion. The way he taunted Joowon particularly disgusted me. Like he thought he could read a column with a heartbroken, twisted and cynical slant and know anything other than a facade for H, J or their relationship. I still don’t think he was even in love with H at the end, just the version of H that’s in love with J.
This character got off remarkably easy, compared to Haesoo but especially Joowon! It would be nice if there was some kind of reckoning, but even so I don’t think H would bear him any ill will because he’s dispassionate about him in the first place. He’s polite like he’d be to a stranger or someone he hardly knows.
Yeah Taku also said that he just wants to read what haesoo will write after hes gone kinda sad tbh mad my blood boil
...just makes me think of how disgusting Taku was using the feelings of both Haesoo and Joowon for his own personal gain with work. I really hated that above all else because neither knew about it, and it was just so beyond low. How do you think Haesoo would feel if he knew what he was doing to Joowon behind his back, or how he was using the same methods on Haesoo for that exhibition?
Screw his happiness or his pain after he put them through so much. I just don't like that kind of a person who says I hope you are unhappy and want me back. You never allowed him to want you in the first place, Taku. You just tried to manipulate him day one until the end.
Really, Taku should've captured Haesoo's face when he was talking about how he felt when he said, "I care about him," regarding Joowon because that's a face of a man in love. Jowoon has the same smile plastered on his face too. Doubt you'll want to use that for your next exhibition. :P
