i think this is the perfect example of unnecessarily pushing the 'psycho' trope onto a character just because he's your stereotypical yaoi top who's the lonely depressed son of a rich family. the moments where taeshin is affectionate with wonwoo seem so genuine and real, like his childlike innocence, lack of knowledge about love and relationships, or his naivety when he asks to be both wonwoo's lover and sibling just to be closer to him. these moments of sincerity are all conveyed very genuinely, in massive contrast to his psycho moments like wanting to "ruin him". those moments are abrupt, unevenly placed, start too late and end too quickly without managing to deliver or impact the reader. they're out of place with the pace of the story, or even where taeshin's character seems to be headed. this story would've been much better with taeshin just being someone who's never experienced love before, but meeting wonwoo made him devote his whole heart to the right person. that doesn't seem lacklustre at all, not every story needs to angsty and traumatic.
