"“saving each other” is hopelessly romantic. versus with joowon, people want rebuilding, for them to talk, to repair. nothing has ever been unrealistic about that"
Tbh I don't understand what's unrealistic about that. The problem is that their relationship always faced many (rather not typical) obstacles and they shaped/ impacted their relationship. They also lacked communication.
So I don't understand what's unrealistic about two people who rethought their relationship, who grew and developed on their own, who would enter the relationship not as the same people, who would be open to discussion about their issues, who would put effort and work hard to make it work... What's unrealistic about that?
i came back to mute this but guys lavender literally said those were their observations for MOST not all, u don’t even have to agree, and plus this was for fun there’s nothing wrong with being specifically a romantic and realist, both have their own benefits and flaws. if u are joowon stan and think you’re a romantic that’s fine! if you’re a taku stan and think you’re a realist that’s absolutely fine as well! hell u could even be both, everyone is different. no need to argue about the plot

based on my observations, i’m going out on a limb here to say that taku stans are romantics and joowon stans are realists. of course there are exceptions, but I’ve noticed certain trends.
romantic. if you’re a taku stan i’m going to assume a few things. You like the idea of running away from society with someone you just met. You often mistake infatuation with love, and your favorite part of a relationship is the beginning. You love love, but more so the idea of it and what it represents—perhaps not what it really is. Taku and Haesoo’s relationship and how “comforting” (as i’ve seen many use at face value) it appears on the outside is a fantastic representation of what love represents.
realist. if you’re a joowon stan (this is combined with my own experience) it’s because you’re attracted to the sheer complexity of their relationship. you’re also sort of a masochist, because you love how their story demonstrates how easily a relationship can shatter due to lack of communication, societal pressures, careers and fear. but, above all else, what you’re really a sucker for is the careful rebuilding of a relationship after these flaws are addressed. maybe, although this IS entirely dependent on the route Youngha takes, Joowon and Haesoo’s relationship is meant to portray what love is beneath the surface
