This worked so well cus Eunseung is such a compelling character. If he was pushy, selfish or didn't care about Taegun's boundaries, their story would not have progressed into love at all- it'd be a toxic mess. Instead they both learned to trust one another in order to build a safe place in each other, and that's conductive to healing and love. When you have relational trauma, the only way to heal it is through developing positive relationships with other people, to teach the body and mind that you are now safe. Eunseung had endless patience for Taegun, because he understood he was hurt. Have you guys seen that scene in Isle of Dogs, "I don't know why I bite"? This is exactly it.
