Why was this written so pretty it hurts my heart
What do you mean with abuse?
The only pain they get from this relationship is pain because they can't be together even though they love each other.
sis haesoo’s been losing weight while in his relationship ship with taku
Yup I don’t think there was abuse happening.
Abuse isn't just physical. And they can be together. They've been fucking just fine for 10 years.
Abuse isn't just physical.
I'd argue he's losing weight because he's in a unhealthy relationship with Joowon which he's trying to cope with by fucking Taku. Taku gives Haesoo the emotional support and love he craves from Joowon. Too insinuate that it's simply his relationship that's the cause of his weight loss and suffering, ignores the glaring reality of the broken and unhealthy relationship he's been in for 10 years.
Example of the abuse? What i mean by together is in relationship/dating. They can't date because their parents gonna be remarrying. So they have this kind of open relationship that they know gonna end when their parents remarried. That's what bring them pain.
And taku is not doing the same. Being pushy and coercing someone can be counted as an abuse too Na.
He losing weight when he is in relationship/dating taku. Joohae already broke up for a while and joowon never bothered their relationship even once.
i get what you mean ig. my comment was more directed @ the “i prefer taku” deal...because everything you just said proves that he’s better off alone than with him. also, while he’s with taku he’s not even in any relationship with joowon, let alone an abusive one (because they split). he WAS in a bad relationship with him, past tense, but a big part of that was on him for projecting this image onto joowon and making assumptions. you can disagree with me and i respect that, but i’ve always viewed the plot as being about two people that fell in love at the wrong time, and perhaps after time apart and self reflections they can come back together.
Ok, but his relationship with Taku isn't the only reason he's losing weight. The relationship between Joowon and Naesoo has never been healthy, and Joowon isn't a good guy. I mean, neither is Taku, tho I'd argue Taku is the ONLY one who's been communicating his intentions even when those intentions are bad. You obviously see some sort of flowery romance between Joowon and Naesoo, but all I see is the constant emotional and mental abuse they put each other through for 10 years. And, like my original comment states, I think Naesoo is addicted to that pain. He misses it and he's craving it more than food. He'll choose Joowon because he doesn't know how not to choose him. I really hate when people try to paint an abusive relationship as "love." You don’t have to hit someone to hurt them over and over again.
Example of the abuse?
"I'd argue Taku is the ONLY one who's been communicating his intentions even when those intentions are bad."
And that's a good thing? He just admits that he is a bad guy. He doesn't say sorry. He doesn't say he regret it either.
character development & plot has left the chat i guess lmao. that being said, the root of their alleged “abuse” was lack of communication, but if they can figure that out and view it as worth the effort I see no reason why they can’t at least attempt something. they’ve also only ever had an open relationship as a result of their environment which caused all of their problems. to say “never been healthy” is a bit extreme...ten years and we’ve only really seen the end of it. youngha’s trying very hard to make both haesoo and the reader realize that there were sweet moments via flashbacks: younger moments, support, etc. I think you’re oversimplifying a super complex aspect of
relationships by reducing everything flawed to abuse.
well okay you deleted your reply nevermind i guess
nevermind again i realize your response was to @25dsdsds not me omg i’m embarrassed ignore me
I feel like you are one of the few people that understand this manhwa. Always excited to read your comments.
I never said Taku was a good guy, only that I prefer him. And at least he admits it. When I see Joowon do the same, perhaps my opinion will change. Until then, I think Taku is the lesser of 2 evils.
Have they really split tho? I'd argue no. The words "let's end this" were said, but we all know it didn't end. And sure, we can say they fell in love at the wrong time, but does that change the subsequent emotional and metal anguish that went on for 10 years? I don't think Taku is the reason for Haesoo's suffering. I think it's a culmination of 10 years of a bad relationship leading into a rebound relationship with a man who is giving Haesoo what he's been wanting from Joowon for so long. To say it's simply his relationship with Taku that's causing his weight loss is an insult to the writer and all the time spent showing the ugliness that occurred before Taku ever came into the picture
I'd prefer all 3 go their separate ways. I hope the story ends that way. But it won't lol. He'll choose Joowon. I prefer Taku because he's the lesser of 2 evils. And also because I hate when abusive relationships are written with the flowery pen of "well maybe after time away from the mental and emotional abuse, they'll reflect, realize they really do love each other, and come back together." The idea that Haesoo can do better or deserves more doesn't matter.
...but Haesoo will choose Joowon. Why? Because the pain and abuse is addictive. No one stays in such a destructive relationship for 10 years and just...walks away. Misery loves company, and in that respect Haesoo and Joowon are a match made in heaven. It just hurts too good.
