This type of dynamic would be instantly better if the uke wasn't portrayed as always losing or dumb half the time. If the bar for Korean special forces were this low I would have enlisted right away. I don't mind taekjoo but come on i need one scene where he completely baffles zhenya (not in an I love you bla bla way) but more plot related than circumstance. One up him, or hurt him the same way. Hopefully it will happen eventually. Ships like this are either tragedy porn or just dumb idiots.

    the novel does it so much better. taekjoo is NOT weak, he's smart. letting zhenya have his way because he knows he can't fight him rn. his planning is more strategic

    I could say the same to you lol. Let's not try pulling superiority based on type of comment. We're all in the same boat.

    That does sound better. Maybe it's because you can read more into his actions because it's written. Or are there like actual differences in plot?

    yesss. its mainly because we can read taekjoo's pov. tbh ajinoki arc was my favorite part of the novel mainly because of taekjoo's resilience
