So you like... skipped all of the chapters from the start of S2 and picked it up again at chapter 99 to not know how much JK was beating himself up and feeling guilty for hurting Dan, and how bad he wanted him to stay by his side because he had realized how important he is to him? He even brought rings ffs!
He was still fucking Kim Dan under the pretense of a JOB/money and then was a dick again before the fight, so miss me with that 'he made an effort' bullshit He doesn't get points for being sexually coercive after he already made Dan a sleep walking, suicidal alcoholic. Who gives a flying shit about rings lmao He drunk cried and woke up a person who JUST got off sleeping pills and has ONE good actually consensual sex scene and even that felt like Dan had to wipe JKs drunk baby ass.
Guys, I'm not hating on jk, and have read all the chapters carefully.
I'm just stating the fact that his personality never changed to better, he just realised that he did terrible stuff to kim dan and was simply trying to not do that again. He did apologise, he did regret. But never made an effort to stop talking to others rudely, arrogantly, without anger outbursts out of nowhere. He still has his rude character, anger, impulsivity, violence, past trauma issues (y'all wouldn't want to date a man like that, trust me)
Just how much anger issues do you have against a fictional character to misread what I replied to?
OP commented that Jjk only realized that Dan is important to him AFTER he got stabbed. My reply was based on that comment, as he had already figured that part out BEFORE the assault, with proof being the rings, among other things.
Never have I brought up that "he made an effort" nor am I giving him any points for whatever. Those are 2 separate discussions.
Wake tf up and get over your hate trance already. People be attacking others online over comments about fictional characters as if it's personal. Grow up ffs and review your reading comprehension skills.
I totally agree with what you're saying in this comment. Although he had realized that Dan is precious to him, he still has a very shitty attitude. And since that's been brought up, I don't expect him to magically fix that attitude right after Dan wakes up. Yes, he is on his knees begging and crying, and yes he genuinely means it, but intentions and habits don't function the same. People can't automatically shift their personality and behavioral habits after a single event even when they want to. Hopefully he'd learn to manage his temper with time and fix his rude character though.
About realising the importance of kim dan, i meant that jaekyung never realised that something might be more important than winning to him
That it's not his career > kim dan anymore, as he took part in the champion just because it was the last thing kim dan asked
Just two or so chapters ago he thought to himself "it's not time to worry about kim dan leaving so much, i have to focus on what's important – the match"
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Just how stupid, blind and stubborn Jk has to be for him to realise how important kim dan is to him only just when he's at the brink of death, huh?
All I can see in him is still a total red flag. Jk has to go into literal therapy and make some huge efforts to change.
( ̄へ ̄)
(But i also bet that one of possible outcomes is the change of his character due to the trauma he receives as he almost loses kim dan, and kim dan might stay with jk out of pure pity for how jk will be horrified of losing kim dan out of sight even)
