I don't think being drastic is the best approach to their relationship, it is a really profound one, while garam brings out the best in heejae, he does the opposite of that, which is bringing the worst inside garam. And garam's manager was chosen by heejae, so we shouldn't expect it was just bcs she is capable and a good manager (im not saying this is ok tho). My conclusion is: they need each other to heal in their own way. The only way is through, so distancing is only gonna make things worse in my opinion, facing whatever is going on between them is the best even if its not healthy, relationships work that way, despite everything, they choose each other (I mean this only when its not abusive).(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yes he should cut that manager too and be an independent artist
The fact that you could see garams show poster right next too heejaes in chapter 205 is just? Need him to untangle himself from this heejae shaped webs like I'm really starting to enjoy the idea of him working under that Varesi guy, someone who can't be influenced by heejae at all
Knowing Garam he wouldn't go that drastic. I definitely want to see Garam make his own path for himself but not like seperate himself from Heejae. I want him to make a name for himself, one that is controlled my Heejae. It would be impossible for Heejae not to have influence btw, but I want to see a path where Garam is known for Garam rather than Heejae student if that makes sense.
Garam being an independent artist is just not possible in the current moment. His venues, his tickets, where he goes, who he is taught by, etc. All of those are controlled by Heejae and to be truly independent means to find a patron which Garam doesn't have in his current capacity.
Here is my theory btw: Garam goes on his military mandate ( Korea) and in that time he is forgotten by the general public. Once he comes back he will still have Heejae but at that point in time he will truly be at stage 1. He will use his connections that he has and establish himself as Garam rather than Heejae student
Yeah, ofc Heejae will always have that influence, in the ‘I wouldn’t be here without my teacher <3’ sense. It’s just that they need to be less of a buy-one-get-one-free deal lmao
No but Garam really needs to distance himself from Heejae because the fact that Heejae made Garam’s manager work behind his back is so ?? The concept of your manager thinking other person is their boss not you lmao Heejae has way too much of an upper hand over this young man, both in his personal and professional life.
Drawing a strict line is an option, but I honestly prefer him to just distance himself and establish himself in the industry without this whole ‘maestro's little boy’ title
