And this is why I hate redemption arcs....
Agreed. When we are blinded with our emotions we sometimes do more what we FEEL like doing than what we THOUGHT, we shouod do. Right?
It made us think twice in Chowoon's persona. Because me, to be honest, I judge him based on his action and never see his reasonings, too. But hey, now, I understand it
Thats why many readers still hate him coz they didn't try to understand chowon character develop ╮(￣▽￣)╭
chowon has been neglected and used his whole life,, first by his family who put pressure on him to pursue an awarding marriage and then his own husband who never once loved him. he’s never been shown love and now that he’s at his worst state dealing with mental health issues the only person who showed him a slight amount of love now left him too.. which probably caused twice as damage. imagine how he feels..
also a disclaimer i’m not excusing his past actions at all n he should own up to them and apologize to heesoo but i’m just saying stop being assholes to someone who’s mentally ill especially if you’ve never dealt w mental health issues urself.
