I really enjoyed this story until they got together, but every conflict following was so frustrating to read about. Jinwo became such a frustraying and unlikable character in a way that wasn't satisfyingly adressed in the main story. With every little conflict he immediately thought of breaking up, he constantly made up exaggerated lies to cover up thinngs he felt ashamed of and he overcompensated his insecurities to a point that made him look like an asshole and a homophobe. A lot of his behaviour can be explained by him being very insecure but he was actively sabotaging his relationship and was never confronted about it. Jungwoo was a character I really enjoyed, partly because he was so open and communicative (as opposed to Jinwo who was allergic to open communication), but it felt like he was constantly coddling Jinwo and brushing over totally out-of-pocket things he did and said. Like when Jinwo fully lied about Jungwoo dating a girl? Jungwoo should have put a stop to that because lies like that end up backfiring but he just went a long with it, despite being deeply hurt and generally not wanting to lie to his closest friends.
Anyways idk a flawed insecure character can be fun especially since I think he was portrayed very convincingly, but he was never challenged for his bad behaviour and coddled constantly. The "villain" of this story wasn't Jinwo's insecurity but the fact he remained un-self relfected and unchallenged to the very end.
Guwon doesn't understand a lot when it comes to more conplex things like human emotion, its like he runs by a programme that is geared toward efficiency only. He genuinely wants to learn to be a good leader but everyone is, understandably, terrified of him. He yearns for someone who corrects him and stands up to him despite their fear and teach is exactly that - I think Guwon genuinely wants to do the right thing but simply lacks the knowledge, the ability for empathy and he wants teach to tell him. That's why Guwon doesn't get angry when he tells him he's wrong, because that's exactly what he wants - someone who can disagree with him and constructively tell him why they disagree








Like he is purposely trying to get him to cheat on Guwon to seperate them
Ma boy wouldn’t settle for less ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
This is also what I'm thinking.... Cause "yeah he's gonna flirt with him and separated them, or he wanted to test teach's loyalty for Guwon, idk..."
