Character development, yes. I find Taeju funny. And I stayed for Euihyun and Euiyoung. I don't feel the particular NEED to defend bad actions like you. He did a vile thing and that'll never be erased. Sometimes your favorite characters do horrible things. Things you cannot defend. Doesn't mean they can't be your favorite character anymore. Live with that.

You're the complicated one. I'm not defending his past actions because he was never a good guy. fyi he lived his whole life as a trashy person he's literally a gangster who beats people up and off them &slept with multiple people. He just happened to fall in love with Euihyun (who made himself change btw).
tbh I feel like I've been saying this a lot these days(esp to that big three manhwas lmfao) but WE cannot change the past, so do not dwell on it. THIS APPLIES TO BOTH IN REAL LIFE AND FICTION. the important thing is you do better in the present and what you will do in the future. and um I'm sure I cannot convince you to forget and forgive even if this one's just a fiction lol we aren't Euihyun after all.

Youâre acting like youâve figured something out, but all I see is someone proudly excusing rape because itâs âin the past.â Just because he was a gangster, slept around, or beat people up doesnât mean rape gets swept under the same rug of âbad guy things.â Rape isnât just a mistake or a phase. Itâs violence. Itâs trauma. Itâs a line that doesnât get erased because he âfell in love later.â
You want redemption? Great. But not everyone deserves it, and rapists are at the top of that list. And noâthe fact that Euihyun forgave him (if thatâs even what you got from it) doesnât mean I have to. Readers donât owe forgiveness. We can call a character what he isâa rapist. That label doesnât disappear because the story wants to soften it. You may want to move on, but that doesnât mean itâs right to ask everyone else to look away and âjust enjoy the plot.â If your enjoyment demands silencing criticism of sexual violence, youâre the problem. And itâs even worse that you're telling me not to dwell on something that happens in real life. Youâre not just excusing rape in fictionâyouâre normalizing it outside of fiction too. Are you sure youâre not the fucking problem here? Are you sure youâre not the one who seriously lacks a shred of moral compass?
Because from where Iâm standing, youâre defending a rapistâand that says a hell of a lot more about you than it does about me.

Fiction doesnât erase the weight of the act. âHe changedâ isnât a free pass for rapeâeven in fiction. That logic is dangerous, because it romanticizes abuse under the excuse of âgrowth.â The damage being done is exactly why redemption isnât owed. Fiction mirrors reality, and if we excuse it here, we normalize it there. âHeâs better nowâ isnât a plot twistâitâs an insult.

Youâre doing too much babe, tone it down
the âim saying for euihyung and euiyoungââŚâŚ yeahhhh sure buddyâŚ.
Donât try to call others out for liking Taeju when youâre still actively enjoying the storyâŚ. Giving excuses on why youâre still reading is lame.
If youâre really into the whole âI canât believe yâall forgive himâ crap, youâre forgiving him for continuing to read A BL ABOUT TAEJU AND EUIHYUNG IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP!!
Yâall loooovvvveee delinquent bls but hate when they do delinquent shii?
Like the other person said: he was never a green flag, (not exactly what they said but what I interpreted) he did bad things and no one is âexcusing itâ we just see that he character development we donât ever see in these types of characters/ at all Taeju turned into a green flag whether you like it or now âŽ( ̄â˝ďżŁ)â
Now, weâre not saying rapists should be forgivenâŚ. You seem so hell bent on pushing that narrative on usâŚâŚ we just think aside from that heâs a green flag, considering this IS. An omega verse AND has mafia tags and ish.
and again youâre here âshamingâ?? Us for liking Taeju when you still continue to read? (HypocriteâŚ)
If only there wasn't a in the first chapter i could have win the argument i had with my friend that taeju is ultimate green flag i mean look at him now he has changed... So much.. Character development is real...
What u mean u can't forget what he did first.... Forget it
