believe me, you're not lol. just scroll down and you'll see a lot more taku fans than you'd expect. at least, more than the ones who like joowon.

I don't I love how everyone throws around "don't fall for me" scene without any consent. Yes he said that. Yes it was wrong of him. But we have to notice he said that we nearly crying face just after they were caught by Haesoo's mother.

Don't I love*
Context*

TY

we all saw it and it still doesn't change the fact that he hurt haesoo with that

I literally said it was a mistake and wrong. I never said it didn't hurt Haesoo. It hurt him. But context is also important.

Don’t forget that taku is a stalker.

I’m totally with you on this one. Yes Joowon and Haesoo have history but Joowon is so overpowering. Taku has been patient and never pushed Haesoo to do anything he didn’t want to. I really ship Taku and Haesoo but I guess whatever happens happens lol.

But Haesoo wanted space and Taku wanted answers about their relationship...so not so patient.
Oh I think their relationship is rather possible. But still 16 chapters before us.

lmao thats what yall love to call him, even though he's NOT Going by your logic, do you consider Joowon a rapist since he forced his dick on Haesoo? :D

Oh what a beautiful illogical comparison.

Did you just compare the level of accusation: stalker and rapist as similar.

And seriously I'm not native myself but forced. For real. Forced.

it isn't about comparing a stalker to a rapist. it's about the logic of that person. and it is not illogical at all

it's also funny that joowon is the one who's constantly visiting haesoo even when he's not invited or when haesoo aint even at home (end of season 1) but taku is the stalker ? aight my dude

Why Taku can be considered stalkerish:
"He saw Haesoo in the shop and read his stories, requested to be interviewed by Haesoo specifically knowing about him and his step brother. Finds out his step brother is Choi Joowon from Leo. Says now he's intrigued and has someone else in mind. Tells Haesoo about the sex tape. Doesn't tell Haesoo he saw him before and read the stories before seeking him out. Just that he is a fan. He basically knew that Haesoo is in this situation and vulnerable and seeks him out even though there may be no room for him to intrude."
It is illogical.

And to be clear I wouldn't call him stalker myself.

Actually taku dident know joowoon and haesoo were related until after. And being a fan of somones work is not stalkerish. He read his work. Talk did think haesoo wrote the stories from real life but he dident know for sure. Talk said that haesoo is a pretty person to him and peaked his interest.thats why he wanted to be interviewed by him

He knew Joowon was his brother since chapter 18 or 19.
He saw him in bookstore. Then read the stories and got even more interested. And then requested interview. He researched him and found out his bro used to be Joowon Choi.

And when he discovered the infamous bro is Joowon he got even more interested.

And he got even more interested when he discovered the infamous brother is Joowon.

I can't agree with this being stalker behavior, you make it sound worse than it is, especially towards the end. There's a difference between finding interest in someone & starting to get obsessed with someone to the point of not leaving them alone and leaving a negative influence on them (actual stalker behaivor). You make it sound as if Taku wouldn't give Haesoo any space ("He knew that Haesoo is in this situation and vulnerable and seeks him out even though there may be no room for him to intrude") or as if he wouldnt let go of him even if Haesoo told him so, which we have no proof of, but I personally don't believe that Taku would continue clinging onto him after being told to stay away. Taku is presented way too respectful for that Imo. As mentioned, stalkers also have a negative influence on their victims, and so far Taku's been only a help for Haesoo (welp, maybe except one or two things). If you want me to, I can make a list. And it's also annoying how people in this comment section expect Taku to ask for permission before entering Haesoo's life. Like what the hell? I wont even continue arguing about this whole 'Taku is an INTRUDER' thing.

You really generalise stalker thing.
Also I meant he had always the upper hand, there was clear power imbalance there. He knew things he shouldnt have and Haesoo didn't know that.

For me it's stalkerish behaviour, for you not.
If someone spotted me at cafe and overheard I'm writting the blog, then he would search this blog (about me and my ex partner) and then requested the meeting, then he would leave his sex tape and meddle in my life more and more... and he would even had photography session with my ex partner and he would "tease" him l...
I would be a little bit uncomfortable, if I would discover that.
But maybe everyone has different tolerance.

But stalkerish behaviour doesn't mean that I would call him stalker. But he did questionable thing and his method to get closer to someone wasn't for me the best one.

I can see where you’re coming from. I think Taku just never really felt anything like this before. As mentioned, he kinda has a bad rep when it comes to working with his models so I think him asking for answers was more to sedate his fear and anxiety rather than push Hawaii into an answer. Sometimes when we love someone it’s torture when they’re not responding. Overall, I think both boys have a fighting chance, and as long as it’s a happy end I don’t think it matters much

this is exactly why i believe the relationship won't work. right now, taku has the upper hand by already knowing all there is to haesoo before even meeting him.

not that important but, i read this one book where the ml of the mc confessed to the mc after the mc found out the ml had known everything about him already. he felt hurt and betrayed because he genuinely fell for someone who knew all about his inner thoughts. if something similar happens to haesoo and he finds out taku's been researching about him, he'll probably feel the same way bc he trusted him.

Yes exactly a stalkker would have been extreme like that ex of haesoo (the guy in black hair) is actually stalkerish following him around meanwhile he was just a fan of his work and figured things out in his own

haesoo's ex isn't really a stalker just because he followed him once lol. he did it for leo if i remember correctly

.

Yeah one definition from who knows where can define every form of stalking smh.
Still I wouldn't call Taku a stalker but I understand where people come from.

I don't hate on him, I see his flaws and people who see him as perfect, not a human being with flaws cut off a big part of this story and his character. Because author wanted to portray three of them as human as possible. Not perfect.
