10 years.

How are you going to thumb down fact?

I just wanted to add one strictly technical thing. 3 years were during marriage. Then they stopped seeing each other and we don't know when they met again. But I guess it was at least few years. But technically it wasn't 10 years.

Great so for the first three years it was the parents. But that doesn’t change that fact that they had 10 years to make things work. They didn’t. The only thing they created was a toxic relationship filled with jealousy.

it honestly don't matter, the point is that they couldnt get their shit together for several years

Also I'm not really agree with don't blame their family situation... Because imo it was an important factor. And rather traumatic one which impacted the whole thing. But there were many other issues of course. But imo it was important factor which shouldn't be so easily dismissed.

I disagree. I think the fact of the matter is, Joowon comes and goes from Haesoo’s life whenever he wants to and throws tantrums to keep Haesoo with him, whether that’s having his manager call Haesoo to come and make him get over a meltdown, or if it’s him getting jealous over Haesoo sleeping with someone else when they are not together. That is emotionally manipulative. Joowon plays a game of “I only really want you when you have the possibility of someone else, or when it’s convenient for me.” Joowon is toxically possessive and jealous.

Haesoo on the other hand triggers Joowon on purpose because Joowon doesn’t commit to shit, causes the jealous rage, and then gaslights him to make him feel crazy.

It’s not a healthy relationship and they had this stewing in a never ending cycle for 10 years. So no. I don’t think their parents had a whole lot to do with it, because they were pulling this crap before the mom or dad even found them out.

You stan an emotionally abusive relationship then huh?

I think it had big impact. It was mentioned Haesoo felt wrong with their relationship, as if they were doing something wrong even after all these "10 years". Haesoo's mum is important figure in Haesoo's life and her disapproval always weight on their relationship.

The only one who a actually contacted and kept in touch was Joowon. He called, said he missed Haesoo or showed any affection. If we would want to be honest.

There were definitely scenes when he was acting jealous or manipulative but let's be real both of them openly manipulated each other.
Joowon feared rejection so he stayed in the barren relationship because it was better than not having Haesoo beside him at all.
His actions were selfish at times and shortsighted and unhealthy at times. No one is denying that.

damn you crazy psycho, you really showed us how its done huh

So you’re saying you agree then that their relationship has been stewing toxicity for 10 years and it’s time to move on then. Glad we are on the same page. Because if you don’t agree with that then you would be saying emotionally abusive relationships are okay if you’re in love with the person. Which they aren’t.

Nothing like being a stan for a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship AMIRITE?

i meeaann, technically it is okay to be in a toxic relationship if all partners are aware of that. but since these kind of relationships make people miserable, its best to prevent them and move on

They are both literally MISERABLE in their relationship and some of these people are like “more emotional abuse please”

I said what I said? I don’t know what you’re on about but you must be really big to comment anonymously huh.

Or do you not understand the concept of sarcasm? That one go over your head?

i know, i'm not disagreeing haha many young readers romanticize this stuff when its fiction and they don't realize how painful and what a waste of energy it is irl

^^^ this

Yours wasn’t sarcasm. But nice try.

Uuu and if I wouldn't agree then I'm serial killer in real life supporting abusive relationships between real life people?

For me the best ending would be everyone going their own way. If Taku and Haesoo can make it and it's going to be healthy then good for them, I'm all for that. Although I think Haesoo still needs time and it would be the best if he would have had more time to rethink things and after he sorted most of his feelings,issues then he would start new relationship. It would have been the most optimal option.

BUT if the author would choose Haesoo and Joowon ending up together... And it would be well written then I'd also let them be. I believe that people can change but there would have to be a lot of effort to make it work. But I don't know how author would cover all of that in few chapters which are left.
