I think he has the heart to help regardless, that’s why he’s fitting for this story. Not the wrong story. It’s just a complicated situation, but I feel that Ian will come around. All that moments with Jo isn’t for nothing.
It’s very much possible for Ian to be with Jo because Jo is currently the only one that can give him the “normalcy” he craves, a life without gang and violence.
But if TJ can do for him, then they’ll be endgame.
We will see how it goes.
Right now, I just don’t think Ian is at fault. Nobody should be slut shaming him, he hasn’t been official.
But Jo is actually perfect for this type of story. It's a noir story and noir is mostly known for its moral ambiguity and nothing shows more moral ambiguity than Jo who is entering a lifestyle that's starts to questionable his morality for who he want to protect.
He's just as important like the other two and his part is unpredictable because many of us and even the other characters underestimate him.
Preach
That's precisely Jo's role in the story, the outsider who gets in the middle and shows a different perspective
I don’t understand how he doesn’t fit. I think the whole role of him, as you said too, is him being an outsider with a different mindset and perspective. He could be the change, basically.
Exactly, the story wouldn't ever move on, evolve, or have any nuance if he wasn't here
True. And if TJIAN could communicate, then there would be no plot. Literally everything involves these three main characters, nobody is an outsider for real.
I understand your point of view, but so far the author hasn't given any indication that he's going to save Ian. It seems like he's the one who's going to sink because of Ian, meaning Jo will stop being that cool character from the beginning and maybe enter this dark world of gangs. At least that's my perception.
For me, the perfect ending would be for everyone to move on with their own lives because I don't know, I don't even like IanxTJ sometimes.
This story is making me lose interest in it with each chapter, which is sad because I really liked it in the beginning, now I don't care about knowing the ending anymore.
Fair point and valid perspective. It’s just that everyone has their roles, it’s not like Ian can save himself, I don’t expect the male leads to at any point RIGHT NOW.
It seems to be a slow burn, just a bit. I think readers are just annoyed with the back and forth, but some should not shame Ian for doing what he did with TJ in latest chapter.
I don’t think Jo will enter the gang world as a “job”, but he is already involved due to his stupid cousin and Jam.
I don’t give too many fucks about the male leads, one had a choice to live a peaceful life but gave that up for gang and the other guy had the option to just keep himself in his own normal world, the only one I’m seriously worried for is Ian. He is my center of attention, I won’t even lie.
I agree that people shouldn't call Ian a sl*t. Its just shows how they don't have enough brain cells to form a opinion.
And in my case, TJ is my center of attention hehe
All that aside...You couldn't possible think that Ian is better off with Jo, cause even for me, who's a TJ fan, Jo is too good for whatever messed up Ian has going on. Like for me Jo character is in the wrong story.
