Without taku am sure Haesoo would still be in a toxic relationship with joowon... Haesoo would still be sleeping around with guys in order to make joowon "jealous" and without that shock and fear that joowon got from taku .... Bro change would have never happened... And gave both Haesoo the courage and strength to love and fight for each other....SO GIVE THE MAN A LITTLE CREDIT... Because this shit had a chance to be the next painter of the night...and that's on PERIOD

EXACTLY!! yes all three are them are toxic in their own ways, but they all need to let go of each other as you mentioned haesoo would still be sleeping around just to make joowon jealous. It will just keeping going in circles and even if, haesoo n Taku did stay together haesoo would still be thinking about joowon.

Yeah you're right. Taku was obviously always a plot device to push the main characters together. But what he did is still sickening to me and I don't think he had enough character development to make me forget about it. He came in between them for purely selfish reasons, not because he actually wanted to help them fix their shit.

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

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/

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.
THAT WAS UNEXPECTED (*﹏*;)(;ŏ﹏ŏ) I'M low-key DISGUSTED
Im high-key he is DISGUSTING for talking about my baby like that
Like how the FUCK could he, "l Like you" like bro Fuck off... I wish I could expose him and give the money in his account back to his "wallets"... I HATE THAT PIECE OF TRASH(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ
Ikkkkkk he only wants him for the money and the way he treats haebom is disgusting. I HATE HIM WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING
I could burn him in his sleep
