Not the ghosts but you're right.
Doesn't excuse his shitty ass behavior as an adult and treating an innocent man like Dan like complete garbage. He hasn't seen Dan as person up until chapter 70. I think what would have raised my 1 start to at least a 3 is if we've learned from JK a little more and had him be somewhat nicer.
If the old man had come into the picture when JK visit Dan's grandma back in S1, and then JK started being nice to Dan despite his ego... It would have definitely been great.
Kinda like Jaeshin from Ghost Nocturne and how we've learned about his passed and by the end of S1 chapters 24, he had already started seeing Lee Nok as a respectable person. Jaeshin fucked up and despite his pride, he was already coming up ways to apologize to Lee Nok. He even got him a flower as an apology.
But nooooo JK has just treated Kim fan like garbage, even chapter 69, he threw Dan and sprayed water on him a day AFTER Dan realized he had an alcohol problem. Dan should have been put in rehab... Not be left alone where he can relapse super easy.
I hate that JK didn't see him as a valuable individual up until now. He still wanted him for sex and sex only up until recently, thinking that's all Dan is good for. "( – ⌓ – )
I kinda just want to see JJK being (even more) pathetic. I dont want he and KD to be endgame (even though I know they are) but I DO want to watch him suffer.
His tragic backstory better be a masterpiece of misery to make up for the absolute torment he put Doc Dan through. We've endured three damn seasons waiting for this so-called redemption arc. At this point, I need him to be an orphan who'd been turned into the orphanage's personal punching bag, kids, adults, ghosts, I don't care. That level of emotional rot needs a hell of a justification. The author better deliver, or I’m suing for emotional damages.
