Just an opinion

Imo it's a joke. We had so much more scenes between Taku and Haesoo. Even their breakup is in a spotlight... Meanwhile main couple was always in the background, important scenes, insight was said between lines, that's why so many people to this day think Joowon is a toxic monster.
Like the whole process, development between Haesoo and Joowon was off screen.... Just how? And to the very ending author is not even focusing on their relationship. I'm sure the next chapter is going to be focused mostly on smut. Smut is nice and everything... But I care much more about the plot and well-written progress.

Like I said, I don't like the time skip either. Same with the accident cliché: it was completely unnecessary because Haesoo already realized his true feelings for Joowon when he saw his photo and cried.
But sadly, I think the author used the time skip and the accident to move the plot faster and conclude the story in less chapters. Why, I don't know, but it truly feels unfair. I wanted to see Haesoo and Joowonn fight the rest of the world together for their love, I wanted them to have a long talk about how their relationship would work, I wanted Haesoo to confront his mom...

So yeah, I agree, it sucks. Let's hope at least we'll see them being domestic, and maybe come out to the public? Not just their smut.

However, I feel like the comments calling Joowon a toxic monster have disappeared (at least in this comment section, I don't know for social media). Joowon had an amazing character development and he has been nothing but a sweetpie for the last twenty chapters, so haters can hate but they're irrelevant. Recently I've seen some comments saying 'ugh they're stepbrothers that's disguting', but they're just trolls for me.

Oh on tiktok and twitter the comments such comments are still really popular and even here you can see comments like : "taku deserves better, the toxic mf and his step bro can stay together".

Idk I'm beyond disappointed with how author wrote J/H at the end of the story.

Yeah I get it. I don't feel it as strongly as you but I understand. I feel robbed of important scenes we'll never have, but at the same time I'm so happy Haesoo and Joowon are endgame and I love seeing them in love.

About the comments on tiktok/twitter/etc... Well, that's too bad. For me those people didn't understand the story, or didn't even try because their Taku/Haesoo ship didn't sail. But we should ignore them. That's VERY sad but I realized something while reading this manwha: the less I read the comments, the more I enjoy the story.

You’re like one of the only commenters that I agree with lol!

I don’t particularly care who haesoo ended up with but all the hate from both parties is crazy. A lot of the people commenting like to see what they want to see based off of their own ship.
I don’t mind that taku said those things, he was honest- in comparison to many other second leads who always hold themself back even til the end. I know people don’t like taku and are upset at him for the things he said- but it’s over now. Haesoo and joowon are together, they got what they wanted, taku is not with haesoo anymore, so why they gotta still be so pressed??

Anyways there’s a lot of people’s comments I can disagree with, as most of them are made out of blind anger. During haesoo and taku’s relationship, taku’s feelings changed in a way (whether it was love or not) so obviously how he thought at the beginning would not have been the same by the end. We got to see some real ugly sides of all of the characters, yet peeps are still mad that they saw taku’s.

I really wish we/I got to see more neutral opinions rather just from hardcore joowon stans. Feels like they should just leave their ranting for their Twitter fan accounts for joowon LMAOO.
There are even people who actually hated haesoo as they remembered that haesoo had done stuff to anger joowon before on purpose.

Okay but what "horrible" things do you really have to say about Joowon that Joowon stans can't admit? We all know Joowon was arrogant and too possessive at the beginning. He was sooo confident that Haesoo would never leave him and Haesoo would always be "his" without even trying. But then that idea crumbled, and he spent A LOT of the manhwa repenting for his mistakes, wishing he tried harder (in the romantic sense) for Haesoo rather than just always ~expecting~ to be with him. He matured, his possessiveness faded gradually and he respectfully stayed away from Haesoo.
Taku's development was him growing to genuinely "love" haesoo unlike the others he toyed around with... but in the latest chapters Taku be acting hella ugly to Haesoo, which is NOT love lol. It's really one thing to show flaws in characters at the start, and have them grow n develop to overcome those flaws. It's totally different to be in the LATEST chapters and a character's ugly side emerges more and more with no chance for development (taku lol)

Also, one thing that made Joowon ten times more sympathetic, was that unlike Taku and Haesoo he never deeply wished for his partner's downfall or hurt (don't use that one panel of dirty talk istg lmao, its called dirty talk for a reason). In chapter 57 Haesoo said all those horrible things to him, and Joowon literally didnt fire back to hurt Haesoo? And he never felt vindictive of Haesoo despite those hurtful things he said. Instead he told HS that he'll always have him. And not to mention Joowon was ready to have his name trashed by the public, or get suspended at school, FOR HAESOO'S SAKE. What sacrifice did Taku ever make for Haesoo? When did Taku ever put Haesoo before himself? At least Haesoo later felt guilty about wishing bad things upon Joowon. Taku didn't show that lol. Not to mention the fact Joowon clearly had abandonment fears with Haesoo and thought keeping their relationship undefined was the best way to protect them and keep them from separation + keep their parents away. His actions hurt Haesoo, but his thought process genuinely made sense and was the LEAST maliciously intended of the 3 characters. Meanwhile compare that to Taku who literally wanted to use his sex tape into guilting haesoo to go out with him? EYE. What's the reasonable justification for that?

First of all: I was not aiming to have an argument with you or a debate with who I think is better than the other.

I’ve seen your comments all over the comments section praising joowon, I know just how much you love him. “What sacrifice did taku ever make for haesoo?” This isn’t a competition of who did more, you’re comparing two completely different people that have different views and different things they would do for a person. Someone’s love shouldn’t be measured by how much they give or give up for their loved one.

Taku’s friend tried to stop him from going after haesoo, and taku was scared of losing haesoo, he was willing to leave an event that was important to him (something he had be wanting for a while) just to not lose him. He probably felt really bad after taking a risk/choosing haesoo over his job, by chasing after haesoo, only to not get chosen back. There was a time skip and we don’t actually even know if taku regretted or felt bad after saying those things. Sometimes people get heated in the moment and say things they didn’t want to say (speaking from experience, I’ve taken out my frustrations and unhappiness on some before and regret it later).

I’m upset that taku did not receive as much character development at all compared to the other two. But I honestly think that maybe haesoo wasn’t the person who he’d fully “change” for, and probably the new partner in his life. I don’t believe taku is the worst (as I’ve definitely seen the worst scum in others (kiss me, liar -.-)). Hopefully the author saved his actual character development for his new partner.

I’d just say, stop spreading more unnecessary hate on taku when you could just spend more time being happy about how your ship won
╮(￣▽￣)╭

Lmao I was just genuinely curious what you thought Joowon stans were getting so skewed up about him which is why i replied to you after reading your comment. But I see youre talking more about Joowon stans shitting on Taku. I’m sorry you took my comment as an attack, but it really wasnt supposed to be lol
Also if you really think someone’s love shouldnt be measured like that, at the very least it shows how jw genuinely loved haesoo regardless of degree of importance or not. Not gonna lie, I thought taku genuinely loved Haesoo too but this new chapter makes me definitely think otherwise

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. This comment section has been a mess from the beginning. So many childish, hateful, unfair comments from both sides... Now I just read the comments from time to time, quickly, and I refrain from starting debates with people attached to their hate.

For half of the story we had Taku fans shitting on Joowon, now we have Joowon fans shitting on Taku. I find that deplorable. As someone who has been shipping Haesoo and Joowon from the beginning, but also grew to love Taku, I'm very upset most of the readers decided to go at war with each other instead of having nice conversations about why they liked a character/couple more than the other.

The three main characters are the same, and that's why I love them: they're all assholes, and at the same time, they're all just guys that want love but can't have it because of their situation. They don't grow at the same time, first it was Joowon, then Haesoo, and obviously Taku is the last one to have his development (which sadly mainly happens in the time skip).

It's sad most of us can't appreciate the writing of all characters, but oh well. I'll just stay in my corner to love Joowon, Haesoo and Taku the same way.

Like people seriously don't get that. I used to like Taku, I even tried to explain his character, pov...but in S3 my feelings got cooler and cooler and his character unfortunately got the smallest development although he got plenty on screen time.

"Also if you really think someone’s love shouldnt be measured like that, at the very least it shows how jw genuinely loved haesoo regardless of degree of importance or not"
Exactly.

Taku got development but off screen.
Im just so disappointed that so many things happened off screen. Sigh

Tbh not since S3 but since the few last chapters of S2. Although I've seen his flaws even before these scenes. Still I liked his character because he was different and refreshing although I don't agree with people who say things like author changed his character (in negative way) in S3 because Taku like two other characters had his flaws from the early point in the story.
