yeah that threw everything sideways. joowon would have never said the "dont fall me" line if they hadnt been caught. the divorce could probably still happen without being caught, if haesoo expressed enough difficulty with joowon
Right.call me a brat but rather than them being step bro it was that fact that made uncomfortable all the way and I also noticed most people became taku stan after that scene.
lol i always found it weird how ppl will claim that them having sex and getting caught back then is whats actually uncomfortable,, and not them having romantic feelings for eo?? like they mean the same thing in the end...
anyway it's whatever. they met when they are 16, it's not that crazy of a scenario that they couldnt see each other as brothers. also not really their fault that they like each other romantically ?? lol like how are they supposed to control that
I have read lots of step bro to be suprised by love or hate but it’s my first time seeing them getting caught .pretty sure one can control it unless it’s fiction forgot to mention but their sex scene is the only thing that makes me uncomfortable that I have to scroll fast without looking since I get reminded me of the time when their mom caught them
I mean yeah the moment looks jarring and uncomfortable for sure. And its clearly MEANT to be, because the scene is from the mom’s perspective and entirely based on how SHE felt at the moment. Its so interesting because their first time is ALSO shown from joowon and haesoo’s perspective in another chapter, and it was actually quite soft and genuine before they got caught. Like how joowon is so scared of hurting haesoo and haesoo holds onto him even if he’s in some pain. their clumsiness and lack of experience as they navigate this new territory between them is genuine and honestly seems like most teens going through this— not something that uncomfortable or weird
Wonder if their mother accepted them now? Jowoon’s position as actor and haesoo being known as his ex step bro is public.they would have to go through lots of hardship.I hope the author addresses it.
I mean I think the author did address it: the mom decided to leave Haesoo alone and stopped trying to control him, and she and haesoo still keep in touch so yeah~ Even if she doesnt necessarily agree with it, it means she let it go. And as for joowon/haesoo, their relationship is clearly a secret. even if they weren't step bros as a huge actor in korea, he can't reveal his relationship to the public if he's seeing a guy.
i do think haesoo's situation with his mother needs to be elaborated on though. like i want to see the conversation between them when he told her that he's going to be with joowon. the author showed what happened between joowon and his dad fully, so i need to see what went on with haesoo and his mom too.
That’s what I meant.just like how jowoon and his dad had discussions haesoo and his mom need to through it out and I meant both when I said jowoon’s position as actor may affect them.(being in gay relationships and being in gay relationships with his ex step bro).hope both jowoon’s dad and haesoo’s mom will be able to move on properly from each other after all they were both in love.
when they decided to remarry i'm pretty certain they werent in love lol... it was done as a business deal after all (and their obsession with separating their kids honestly). if they were ever in love, it was like 10 years ago before the first divorce. they definitely shouldve gotten over it by now lol
They were in love.they married because they were in love.during the resturant scene with jowoon’s dad haesoo expressed his guilt in his pov saying something along the like mr Choi who was still in love with mom ...
Not to forget the restaurant scene was a long time after their separation(divorce)
Their marriage wasn’t marriage of convenience which has been clarified in the story.
idk about that... if anything it was one sided in that case, cause haesoo’s mom calls jw’s dad a horrible man later on. So for HER it was out of convenience to remarry cause opening the second store and all
She was in love before I dunno if she is later but it wasn’t for second store that they planned to remarry.jowoon’s dad was the one who suggested the idea of opening second store and letting haesoo manage it as haesoo’s career had no proper long term plan.she called him something like that because he didn’t tell her that he knew about joohae’s relationship and she had to carry the burden of regret all alone as she had felt guilty for breaking off the marriage only to realize Mr.Choi knew all along.
Also she thought remarrying would establish them as family again and joohae might also stop their relationship.second store wasn’t even in her reasonings.
yeah that's also my point :/// she was obsessed with having this "perfect family" and she said she pushed and pressured haesoo a lot. she cared more about that than actually considering how haesoo feels at all (and not to mention her guilt tripping him for many years over her divorce, which is essentially what pushed haesoo and joowon into the relationship that he had in the first place).
idk about the marriage from 10 years back.... but as for the REmarriage: i dont think it was "love" but her consistent desire for trying to make everything seem perfect in her life and control anything she could (including her son). maybe because she felt pretty powerless when her first husband divorced and left haesoo.
Her first husband about him I don’t know.her second marriage with mr.Choi it was love and after they divorced and wanted to remarry again well at that point can’t distinguish if it was love or her desire to have family.any mother would want to give a family to her child who would have her child would be fucking with her step son.she would be more devastated than anything.if she wasn’t in love and it was just convenience pretty sure it wouldn’t have bothered her.as she said herself that haesoo (I don’t have anything against you being gay, but pls anyone other than jowoon).biologically joohae’s relationship was okay but legally and morally it was wrong.
Their parents had prioritize joohae’s relationship over their’s as they realized that joohae’s love for each other was too strong and joohae too realized that they would feel empty without each other and is now trying to make their relationship work.they are ready to carry the burden that comes with it and also they have accepted that their family not be able to welcome their relationship with open arms but they are making Choice to be together despite all.I do think the toxicity had dragged for too long when it could have been done the same thing yers ago.I feel pity for their parents hope they still together I believe so since mrchoi was the one who funded haesoo three years abroad study.if both sides are together and thriving then all is well that ends well.some people may still be uncomfortable with joohae’s smut (as we look it from their mom’s perspective and it’s like anxiety hits) but in time when the manhwa ends everyone would get over it like they did for body complex.not to forget taku is happy and thriving too.we would soon get to see his lover.again, all that’s well ends well just until the last page for LOH ends.
Would have been better if only their mother hadn’t caught them in the act.
