He’s not a good person and he backloaded that himself. If you thought his actions were out of good intention you need to re-read
please i’m not defending him at all. you act so self-righteous lol. you're putting words into my mouth. i’m talking about the writing, not whether he’s a good person or whether his intentions were good or not. being a bad person doesn’t mean the arc can’t be criticized. there’s tons of media that explores morally messy characters without defaulting to “love interest” as the payoff.
he could’ve stayed platonic and still been a complex, uncomfortable part of yeongwoon’s life. their history, his guilt, all of that. instead he just gets reduced to romantic tension and it feels lazy to me. if this was planned from the start, fine, it still feels underwritten.
what the fuck!! waste of a fucking character, taegu couldve been so much better if he were jus limited to an actual platonic relationship. jesussssss brahhhh taegu's writing couldve been good, this feels like we jus took a left turn lol, it feels so out of character for him
