Exactly. The synopsis in the official also says that but people want it to be TJ just because he’s hot and their sexual chemistry
That tappytoon synopsis created a massive controversy in this fandom. The author even had to clarify it wasn't true and she never said something like that. She said the synopsis doesn't contain any spoilers of the endgame (main lead). The hate against Jo started from that incident. And true based on most toxic love triangles if the mc keeps going back to the problematic guy then he will be the endgame. I don't think any BL authors can write a proper love triangle.
DEADASSSSS finally someone im agreeing with, i still whole heartedly believe that Jo will be endgame im ngl
Or Jo being the ML is a misdirection and in the end, Ian doesn’t end up with him. Unless some of you have read previous works from the author and can determine what their storytelling style is, summary aside, the plot makes it clear that TJ isn’t a mere “obstacle”.
i mean obviously she’s going to say that tj stans have thrown many tantrums at her and towards ian and jo in general i don’t think that means we should completely write the synopsis off it has value
What the heck you mean by misdirection? Go ask doyak lol. She is the who said both Jo and TJ are the main lead. Wet sand actually her first debut manhwa. TJ isn't a mere obstacle right and Jo isn't a mere character that you consider boring
ehhhhh..i mean ian’s feelings towards tj are very complicated and so is their relationship but its very clear that being near tj and the gang causes ian a lot of pain and stress and for almost TWENTY YEARS ian and tj have been stuck in a horrible loop which ian wanted to break out of so it’s not crazy to assume tj right now is a villain and a obstacle in ian’s life this could change in the future but right now tj is the source of ian’s pain ┗( T﹏T )┛
I answered the top comment. I didn’t read everyone’s response after that. Your response to me sounds like you think I know something that I don’t.
Top comment said Jo is ML and TJ is a mere obstacle. I said that belief doesn’t feel right and that I’m hoping Jo being ML (meaning the person Ian ends up with) is nothing but misdirection. I don’t understand why your answer is so aggressive or why you’re asking me to talk to the author. I know that Jo and TJ are also leads, I can see it by the amount of screen time divided between the three main characters.
thx for this i never read the synopsis i just judged by the difference between how the author portrays ian and tj’s intimate moments vs. ian and jo’s
oh welp! i take back what i said
You are saying the same thing under all the comments. It didn't feel right to me when you consider Jo being the male lead is a misdirection. If you have a problem with him being a male lead to confront the author.
No actually. The end of season 1 and the first 3 chapters of season 2 shows us that TJ is far from being the villain of Ian’s life. In fact, TJ dying would be Ian’s greatest source of pain. Ian is so mad about the fact that TJ almost died that he would kill the perpetrator out of anger.
Everything you said explains season 1, but everything I just said tells you that there are more layers to their dynamic and to the depth of their relationship, which we are only now finding out. You’re making it sound like Ian was constantly trying to leave and TJ constantly stopped him. No, one day, Ian tried to leave and ever since, TJ has tried to keep him at his side.
And right now, TJ is actually trying to keep Ian away for his own safety, which is why he told him to leave and not come to the funeral when they were in the hospital, but Ian won’t stay away. This gives you depth as to why TJ is so attached to Ian in the first place. Ian is someone who loves him bad enough to want to shield and avenge him because you’ve been hurt. Their relationship is complicated, yes, but it’s not as straightforward as TJ being a villain and Ian being where he doesn’t want to be.
No don't trust the synopsis
I don’t have a problem with the ML since I don’t know who the ML is…
Good.
I totally understand and agree that there are a lot of dynamics in their relationship i stated that above, but i do have to disagree with u ian WAS trying to constantly leave in season 1 and he was scared as fuck of tj finding out about his plan. Ian has severe trauma from his mother dying when they were on bad terms and since tj got in the accident he’s obviously spiralling as a response to everything that has happened in his life he may want to go back to the gang now (something that jo understands and has accepted because he understands that ian still loves tj) but because of how the story is and what ian’s life goals are ian is going to regret going back to the gang because he hates that life and still hasn’t recovered from the time he killed a man and wanting to protect tj is a very natural and normal response it’s not something out of the blue ian is a very loyal person and tj is the only ‘family’ he has left. However all this still makes TJ a obstacle in ian’s life because their relationship is so horrible that even if ian went back to the gang on his own accord just being there is going to make ian’s mental health worse and he’s going to suffer
I’m not talking about him trying to constantly leave in season 1. The way you spoke about it makes it seems as though this has been the case since the beginning of their relationship. I was saying I don’t believe that to be true. The rest of your take on why Ian spiraled due to TJ’s accident is both right and wrong. It’s right because yes, TJ is Ian’s family and going through grief once always makes you a little more scared about losing another loved one. But it’s wrong because you seem to believe that Ian having gone through the loss of his mother is his only driving factor. It’s not. However your conception of their relationship and my conception as t the fact that TJ isn’t just family to Ian, will only be proven true as we read more. And the term “obstacle” I first used was in reference to thinking TJ is only a plot device meant to be in the way of Ian and Jo. I do t believe this to be true.
The bad mental health thing is true for anyone on a gang. Ian probably should’ve taken the opportunity that TJ gave him by asking to leave and go for real, but something tells me that the three leads are going to stay around each other until the story ends.
it’s 7:30 in the morning
Why are people arguing
This may be the new yours to claim
1. Jo is the main ml and TJ is just an obstacle, if you read the summary you’d figure that out
2. This could be worse, it could be yours to claim where there’s almost 100 chapters of the mc going back and forth only for Yahwi to be end game.
I like threesomes but alot of korean authors don’t have that much creativity so I’ll sit here in silence being the whore I am
