it is taking awhile to move but it looks like they did meet but never fully interacted, like when taeha saw her crying in the rain when he was still in high school. looks like since then he's watched from afar and got tired of how bad mincheol was treating haesoo and decided to take it into his own hands lmfao, but it sounds like he's a bit naive
Actually agree. Mincheol atp is just a piece of shit but his character is complex. We see how smitten he was with Haesoo and their bond was strong for years until Mincheol became spoiled and sour. I cannot forgive him for blatantly cheating and seeing no issue in himself, taking Haesoo for granted and verbally abusing her, but strangely enough there it feels like there is more weight to fight for Mincheol’s redemption than Taeha’s win. We need to know more about Taeha and see him being honest with Haesoo in order for a similar weight of consideration.
Huh bro ?? did you read latest chapter with your eyes closed ?? it was litteraly shown that they already met before at a bus stop when he was in high school, na hae so don't remember him. Also there are manny hints that tae tae ha was abused in the past , na hae Taked care of his wound during that first meeting made a lasting impact on him since he was a abused kid . Some of you got 0/10 comprehension skill at this point , media literacy can’t be that dead.（￣へ￣）
"it feels like there is more weight to fight for Mincheol’s redemption than Taeha’s win." huh bro litteraly got off while thinking she was be graped and still banged his mistress while thinking she is danger , so what impactful redemption arc at this point you are even talking about ??
Yes I saw that but it felt so rushed I couldn’t fully understand if that was reality or just his own little fantasy
Oh you couldn’t have worded it better “there is no weight to fight for mincheol’s redemption than Taeha’s win” honestly I felt so confused that I craved for more haesoo and mincheol interaction but I truly think it’s bc they’ve better written scenes compared to all the smut scenes haeso and taeha have
God forbid that 1 scene where it is completely rushed made some users confused and that a few scenes of him inflicting harm on himself to selfishly have haesoo attention doesn’t sit right with a girl. YOU have to open your eyes taeha is a bland ML and the author is lacking depth with his character we got the classic rough childhood yet we got a glimpse of it nothing more. We know absolutely no reason of why he actually wants her liek ok they met in the past but we need more then that to fully understand it
Bro he didn’t get off it it was more of frustration. He let out his frustration on ari? I think u might have to rethink about it what ur saying. She never said she wanted an redemption arc she’s highlighting how readers get to understand mincheol more as a complex character as all the scenes featuring taeha is him either being an extreme creep or having sex with haesoo. And the author purposely giving us these scenes of haesoo and mincheol teenage years leads up to sympathise with them literally so many videos online say how could he have gone so rotten. This is why the audience would have “more of a reason to fight for mincheol” as his character has depth while tae has character is simply 2D so crevices or anything.
I’m not here saying we want Mincheol redeemed, far from it, he should go die in a hole. What i’m simply saying is that the story moving with Teaha feels boring, repetitive, and has no deeper substance for us to connect with, but every time Mincheol is on screen, we get new layers to his complexity and brings interesting themes to the story (e.g. strong, devoted young love turning bitter and ugly through time, financial hardship, and mental poison). Taeha is just a character of obsession, destruction, and calculation. This makes it feel like there’s a stronger pull to her old relationship and nothing strong enough yet to pull her to her new relationship that isn’t a facade. I feel for his backstory but I don’t feel like it moves anything along with Haesoo at all, instead it just shows how he’s been manipulation her this whole time. Yea, he treats Haesoo well but I think the only thing that causes Haesoo to develops feelings is the sexual intimacy and what he lets her believe about him (imo not the best foundation for a relationship but hey i’m sure we’ve all read and indulged in worse dynamics on this site). Taeha is the lead i’m rooting for obviously, but i’m craving more depth to his character and honesty with haesoo. All we’re saying is that Mincheol has more depth than Taeha, not that we support him more.
amen
THIS!!
Couldn’t have worded it better my queen
omg guys she’s flirting w me
Damn right I am
The title might strike a few nerves but hear me out. I’m talking about the writing aspect. Mincheol is written better and more complex than taeha. Even in the beginning I hated all the evil mincheol did the haesoo yet I craved for any interaction they encountered whereas I couldn’t care less now when haesoo and taeha interact. I think it’s bc the author has no idea where the story is going. We learn more about mincheol which makes sense as taeha is the mysterious type and stuff but it gets to a point we need to know what the motive it. Why does taeha like a woman who’s 10 years older than him? Did they meet in the past or smt? It’s time to start dropping the smut and ACTUALLY start progressing the storyline.
