Had time to read back and reflect on Jaekyung. I recall at some point how I compared this story to BJ Alex and how similar they were as well as expressing my disappointment as to how similar they seemed. But again, I must accept that Mingwa shut my mouth so quick. Unlike with BJ Alex where we had to wait for the extras to see how Jiwon would spoil DG to make up for all the crap he did (which to this day I still don't think it was all Jiwon's fault, DG put himself in that situation knowing full well what he had agreed to) In this story we can see that Jaekyung is trying to make the conscious effort to be better and to win Dan over. BJ Alex felt too rushed to get to the forgiveness part. But here we can see more of what goes on in JK's head AND even though he still acts tsundere, he does his best to watch what he says and does around Dan. Also not sure if it's just me but I like the fact that JK is also interested in hanging out with Dan, trying new things with him, and getting to know him as a person and not only lusting after him. BJ Alex was all just sex all the time even though DG wanted to go out on more dates, but all Jiwon wanted to do was stay home and screw day and night. JK started off just lusting after Dan but now he sees him as an important person in his life. He now cares about Dan, his well being, and the one person he loves most which is his grandma. I like that JK is healing his past traumas and attempting to help Dan heal as well. He screwed up big time and he knows it even though there are times he acts so clueless. I hope we see them talk it out at some point.
I also recognize that I complained how out of character JK seemed at first but after careful consideration I just think love made him silly/stupid. And also he gets hit in the head so many times in his job that it's bound to make some screws loose in there.
