I agree..... I think their relationship is really destructive. If they get back together they might be able to move on and finally admit feelings for each other, but they're still going to have all the problems.
1. Joowon is gonna have to either hide his relationship from the public and be anxious about getting caught the entire time or give up his career entirely to be with Haesoo. As a public figure, people are going to constantly be talking about him and he is going to be followed by paparazzi looking for the next big scandal. We also have to remember Leo and Haesoo's ex are in kahootz and seeking to destroy both Haesoo and Joowon by exposing the relationship. The only reason nothing has has happened lately on that end is because Haesoo and Joowon have not been together, so the ex hasn't captured the evidence he is seeking.
2. Not only that, but if they get together that's gonna continue to affect their parents relationship and their own relationships with their parents. Haesoo's mother is never going to accept the relationship between him and Joowon, she might not get back with Joowon's dad, but she is always going to resent Haesoo and Joowon to an extent. Haesoo and his mom have had a rocky relationship the entire time since the story started, if Haesoo and his mom were to ever salvage their relationship Haesoo would definitely have to end his relationship with Joowon.
Unfortunately, I really do think Joowon and Haesoo are going to end up together. But I personally think it would be really regressive for both of them to do that. They'll be almost back to square one.
I see your points and I also agree. It would be a cliche if they end up together. Further, pushing narrative of many other stories that love prevails over all.
Touching on the subject that L is planning to expose their relationship. If he successfully does so. It would detrimental for both of them. The the situation could bring them back together (which it most likely will but I’m open to being wrong.) Jowoon could quit acting and perhaps leave with haesoo.
In another scenario haesoo could leave by taking the offer to study aboard from jowoon’s father or taking it upon himself to leave. If that happens I could see him going to Tokyo with taekyung as well.
Tbh I don't agree with cliché. Every ending can be interpreted as cliché. There are stories where character ends up with the first love and there are stories where character ends up with the second lead.
Tbh I understand your points and even agree with some of them but people change, they grow. If they were willing to work on their relationship and gave it another chance and put a lot of effort to make it work. I'd accept that. They are already growing and changing on their own so if they entered the relationship once again, they wouldn't be the same people.
I think by normal relationship he meant the relationship where he doesn't have to have guilty feelings, he doesn't have to hid, he doesn't have to feel jealous of the other party, living in unknown if the other person loves me etc etc.
That’s kind of a binary way of thinking. Just because you think it was destructive that doesn’t mean they can’t fix it. We can see this season that everything is starting to change and the characters are going through their development. like yes it looks like joowon can’t live without haesoo but let’s be real they had 10 years of a deep relationship. You can’t just move on. These types of complicated relationships can’t just be fixed overnight and IMO that is fine. Also if you look back to that normal relationship conversation, he admitted what he had with joowon was pretty much the same. I personally think the reason he’s never admitted it as such is because he tries to close himself off to not get hurt. Again, this can gradually be fixed when they actually talk and communicate their real feelings together. while I do appreciate your take, unfortunately things aren’t just black or white. Issues won’t stay the way they are if they just communicate and face their issues may it be together or separately
You have a point there
I absolutely agree with the points you made. I didnt interrupt the normal relationship topic the same way but I can see what you pointed out now.
Okay, so hear me out. I don’t want haesoo and jowoon to continue their relationship or start a new relationship (romantic/sexual relationship; I’m not referring to their relationship as step siblings.) because it was honestly destructive. Like the way they love each other is concerning and scary.
I mean the fact that haesoo said himself he's learning what a normal relationship is like is concerning in its self. (I’m not inferring that I think haesoo should be with taekyung.) Also, the fact the jowoon looks at haesoo to be a safe haven and a form of comfort that now without him he is lost. (It doesn’t sound that bad but no one should have to rely heavily on another to have purpose) I’m referring to when they met each other again after their parents divorce. Jowoon was in a bad place until haesoo helped him. And that they called it quits he wanted to quit acting. (However he does seem to be working through his thoughts and emotions.)
Overall, I would prefer at the end (and this is just my opinion) if their relationship stays finalized and grow separately as individuals.
