It may not be as important but I tried to figure out why this guy is more hated than black flags like zhenya and caesar

if Taekjoo or Leewon were in a depressive, suicidal state, I feel like their MLs would at least be more attentive and considerate than Jaekyung. Plus, they’re not completely oblivious about their own emotions they know they’re obsessed. Meanwhile, Jaekyung is just an airheaded, arrogant mess, so full of himself that he can’t even fathom any reason he’s sticking with Dan beyond his so-called “jinx” and all that other nonsense.

That’s exactly why his character is even more infuriating than the bigger scumbags
because at least they’re not this slow to recognize their own feelings. Zhenya and Caesar are scummy in entirely different ways, but a lot of their behavior stems from their sheer obsession with their partners if that makes sense. In contrast, Jaekyung is just completely dense, making his arrogance all the more unbearable.

Jaekyung is not that big of a scumbag but he is more infuriating and annoying lol

    Their dynamic is different tho and yeah, I said he’s a bigger scumbag than Jaekyung any day, but he’s not oblivious or walking around all arrogant with an empty brain.

    That’s exactly what’s annoying about Jaek, and what makes people more angry that was the point I was trying to make.

    I didn't know Jaekyung was hated more then those two but me personally I rather have Jaekyung's annoying ass then Caesar that shot Leewon or Zhenya that was fully intent on killing Taekjoo that's just me though ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    They still hate Zhenya and Caesar a lot, but with Jaekyung, it’s more like people are just frustrated and annoyed like it’s anger that comes off as hatred.
    With Zhenya and Caesar, though, it’s actual disgust and hate, you know? The kind that’s so deep it’s started to turn into indifference and honestly, anger always feels louder than indifference or hate If that makes sense.

    Idk about Caesar, I haven't read it, but I'll comment on Zhenya. It's simple: Jinx is consciously or unconsciously romanticizing the most stereotypical abusive violent relationship, where there's a big violent choleric and a weak woman who believes that she will change him with power of love. CNA has a completely different dynamic and if Zhenya hadn't explicitly drugged Taekjoo, he would have been able to, yk, to defend himself. Kim Dan is a victim who is unable to defend himself and yet he is advised and romanticized to stay in a relationship with an abuser who doesn't take his no as no. Taekjoo will kick Zhenya's ass anytime, he's not a defenseless victim who can't defend himself lmao Not to mention that CNA doesn't have such incredibly shallow and clichéd characters

    Yes and you were complitely wrong. Zhenya is simply a psikopath, doesnt even care for his own blood, and also is arrogant as hellll, bro simply is russian and hella attractive also jk fell into a hate train. And about ceasar about I felt like vomiting reading that story, those three are not even comparable cuz jk is miles away bettee than them, most people just like or hate someone bc its a “trend” yall saying he raped dan let me remind yall he went to him on his own 2 feet begging for money and agreeing to get fucked wherever and whenever. He may be a scumbag and have persinality problems, yes, but he doesnt own dan nothing, he simply is paying him for his body with him agreeing to do so. Let that sink in

    Ahhahaajah tbf this is funny considering the shit that psycho will put my poor taekjoo through and get away from it like nothing, and if you ask me he fell into stocholm syndrom cuz there is no way you can fall in love with a man that rapes you leaves you to die, finds and raoes you again and locks you up just to rape you again,yall just being hypocrites, defending literal killers over a man who has personality problems, Dan was nevee raped he agreeded to it all

    I don't think this conversation have any meanin when you think that prostitution from pressure and repeatedly saying no means consensual sex As I wrote, Jinx bothers me cuz it's just a romanticization of an abusive relationship, CNA is actually set in a world where killing, rape, torture, blackmail, etc. are a normal part of spies' lives - jinx is set in a completely normal world, that's the difference. And Taekjoo didn't fall into stockholm syndrome, he literally fly away from Zhenya lmao His relationship with Zhenya develops gradually and is primarily based on Taekjoo gradually being comfortable with him as a partner and discovering that he is actually attracted to the danger that Zhenya brings with him
