I thought Taegu really did help YW out in the past but he’s actually a useless lowlife lmao. He has the audacity to be fighting with Seoin about closeless to YW when he also didn’t even help him. Even if he helps him next chapter, the damage is done and YW really had to brave his trauma and hardships all on his own. The difference? Seo-in was a kid just like YW and didn’t have a lot of power. He was also ignorant to YW getting jumped. If he knew, he would’ve done something. Taegu literally left a teenager to fend for himself and all he cares about is money. He’s going to lose this battle. At most he probably got YW a job after he already found a place to live. YW gave him his thanks and is trying g to move on. Taegu is stuck in the past because he knew he had a chance to make things right but he didn’t. No one cares if u love YW now…
Taegu pisses me off so bad….

We got to know Dans and JJKs past, but I wonder if author is gonna get into Dan’s past sexual assault from the director of the hospital…I’ve been wondering about that for years like wtf happened?! And i wonder when JJK finds out, how will he react?

well dan got fired instead of the director probably bc institutions protect abusers, especially ones with authority in order to cover up "scandals" (literal crimes ) to protect their "image". south korea also has strict workplace hierarchies, social stigma, and a culture of saving face that leads to victims being blamed or silenced instead of powerful perpetrators. i remember seeing a bunch of cases come to light during korea’s #metoo movement where the victims actually faced backlash for exposing workplace harassment. it's rly sad

I rlly like these characters bc they’re so human. There’s no perfect villain or hero or victim. Both JJK and Dan have their flaws and have their own toxic behaviors. Ppl can’t comprehend why JJK would treat Dan like trash even if they had similar upbringings. Think: someone who had an unstable childhood, lived each day to prove something to his bum abusive father, only to never hear that praise and love he desperately wanted. JJK wants to be the best because he’s nothing without the titles. He’s honest and aware that he’s a shit person but that doesn’t matter to him as long as he’s the winner and has control over his life. Dan and JJK are both different results of how a rough childhood can affect u. Dan shoulders his blame while JJK blames others. They’re really opposites despite coming from similar pasts. Their role to each other in the future is def to show each other a different way a living and healing from the past together.

There was a grandma helping him out when he was little which is probably why he likes Dans grandma a lot. This chap also shows us how JJK probably sees himself in Dan which is why he’s so harsh and pushes him to be healthier/not so wimpy. He doesn’t like weak ppl cuz he knows how it feels to be weak. I hope JJK continues to soften up and they can actually have a shot at a real relationship
PIBI NIM rlly doesn’t get enough credit for their story telling. I can think of very view stories that have an actual plot that develops properly, pacing is good, and doesn’t feel repetitive or cliche
