Why does him being honest make his actions acceptable? Is a criminal warning ppl of their crime absolve them of the crime? (No im not saying taku is a criminal lol, its an analogy). Bottom line is, he didnt care for Haesoo’s happiness at all and instead used it for himself. (Also he hid some intentions until way later, like the sex tape smh).
idw to write an essay so i’ll leave my own older comment here~ http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/9517513/
and instead used *his sadness* for himself
Read it again and see for yourself how manipulative it was. Even if he was "clear" about his intentions, his behaviour was super toxic. He had no chill. And there wasn't a single scene when he wasn't trying to fuck him - even when he was SICK! dudeeeeeee
He knew he was just having a casual relationship with him out of curiosity since he found out that haesoo and joowon had a taboo relationship. Having a casual sex relationship was fine but he actively tried to make their relationship even worse and tried doing things out of his way to slight joowon and make him give up on haesoo. That decision should have been haesoo and he was overstepping his boundaries. Not to mention how clingy yet distant he was to haesoo and only needed him to confirm his feelings (forcefully) when he felt haesoo was still caring about joowon. None of his actions had an ounce of dignity to them -i was rooting for him UNTIL he offered to be a fuck buddy while kissing him in the car and looking at joowon like "this could be interesting" nah uh. People are too stuck in 2nd lead syndrome to realize he is the toxic one here. But that's just my opinion. People should read it again and they'll notice it themselves.
So some guys r saying Taku was toxic...
Bro I don't know about that but taku never hid his intentions from the Haesoo. He told him he wanted to know how the story ends. That he should use him and figure out emotions, his career and stuff like that
