I guess they were trying to depict him as the big ban morally corrupt goon who then learned to be human. But I agree. Rape is just an appalling thing and I find it hard to read through it. I do love Taegu for his genuine love and redemption, that guy is a head over heels simp
even though i would admit that this story was one of the best redemption arc manhwas i’ve ever read, and that i absolutely loved the ending (especially with them growing old and starting a family together), i still can’t get over the fact that the first half was just so traumatizing with all the rape like.. i sort of get it because it makes sense and it is all part of the story/plot, but it’s just like… really?… sure, the ml really changed for the better, and this might be a hot take but i would say he is one of the BEST characters to truly realize their wrongdoings and take accountable for their own actions, especially because it’s so rare seeing the genuine mindset change in used-to-be rapists like him in manhwa, but even when reading past his redemption arc i always still had an uncomfortable feeling because you can never really just forgive and forget what evil deeds he had done against the mc from the start. i was legit about to drop this during the car scene. this wouldve been an absolute 10/10 without the rape but i still can’t lie about the fact that it was only because of it that made the redemption arc so meaningful and impactful to the story in general. i just wish there was some other way of portraying the mls offensive and atrocious behavior (basically what he did to the mc) in another way that would have a similar emotional effect to the storyline.
