Well said!
Do you know how I can accept taeju? Like I know we’ve seen him be a dick ever since the beginning but that car scene really just ruined it for me. Yes he raped him in ch2 but after that he slowly was starting to care for euihyun but then BAM the author gave us a pointless rut and that stupid car scene, not to mention euihyun not being able to swallow the pill and having a unknown pregnancy? I guess I’m more angry at the author for adding more problems within euihyun’s life to add more drama and to make taeju seem like a hero for saving euihyun and giving him an actual home and becoming a father. I don’t know I really dislike the guy even though he is a wonderful father/fiance. Yes Euihyun sure sexually assaulted taeju back with that drug and baby trapped him and sure he isn’t an angel at all, but I honestly just blame all the alphas in his life who put problems after problems within his life. Ugh sorry for blabbering so much this story for real just stresses me out.
I agree with your points! In Euihyun’s standpoint, he actually gets written unfairly because it feels like he just ends up getting dragged around by the alphas in his life, and he’s left to deal with the consequences of the choices of other people. In Taeju’s standpoint however, there is a huge character growth which many of the readers (I included) enjoy. I do agree that the car scene and the rut were steps back to his character development, but it still made him seem more human with the mistakes he’s made. However, that is only in the pure viewpoint of Taeju’s character as a whole. Euihyun is more of a passive character in the series which kind of also bummed me out as he never had as much of a character development as Taeju had given that his role in the series was more like an emotional punching bag and the tragic lead. My only respite is that the author didn’t write him into a worse scenario in the climax.
If i could thumbs up your comment 10x i would (づ￣ ³￣)づ
You actually don't need to think too hard about this ^^; you don't need to accept him. You can just appreciate the character development
Yeah you are absolutely right I guess it just angers me how at the end of the day euihyun went through all that and the rapist basically won the series without anything happening back towards him. His development is one of the best Ive seen
taeju isn’t a linear character. You can see the growth of his personality from being a shitty jerk to a family man. However, the story doesn’t shy away from portraying Taeju as a morally gray character. His family’s running a gang, he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty for his family. He’s the type that won’t care about anything else for as long as you don’t cross Euihyun and the people he cares about. And in a perfect world, this wouldn’t be a nice ending at all given the things he’s done. But in a realistic standpoint based on the story’s worldbuilding, that’s the most natural situation Taeju can have to keep both his family and Euihyun safe.
