Maybe bc his father never changed?? Even when he met up with juyeong he blamed him for hitting him when he was…
Your words in the first comment did seem to be a bit defensive of him. But i guess I get your point bc we haven't seen dohoi's perspective or why he cut contact. I just rewatched the last eps and also read other people's thoughts on this and I think the reasons for Dohoi cutting contact with juyeong and not only his dad are multiple. In ep 3 dohoi runs home to his dad and confronts him asking why he hit jy but his dad reacts nonchalantly and dohoi gets angry and grabs the knive presumably to harm his dad or himself and that's when he looks in the mirror and sees his reflection and his dad in dad in the background. This is when he realizes that he's angry at his dad for being violent at jy for lying abt his dad not hitting him and even more at himself bc he just was about to do smth violent too. From there on he runs away from everything because he doesn't want the cycle of abuse to continue he doesn't want to become like his dad he stated in the eps before that violence is the thing he hates the most and can't understand at all. The reason for all of this his love to juyeong bc all of those years he didn't stand up to his father or bullies he let himself get beat up and he never became violent but because someone dear to him was harmed he almost did. So that's most likely why he avoided jy he feared he'd become something he'd hate and he most likely heard abt jy becoming close with his dad which is why he told him at the funeral that he doesn't understand him nor wants to because he hates his father and can't forgive which is very understandable. I think Dohoi is definitely not the villain here nor is juyeong they're both victims of their environments.
Can sb who watched ep3/4 on iqiyi share if some of the confusion is bc of the subs like their conversation at the funeral and dohoi's confrontation with hyunho at school in ep3. Bc the subs of gagaoolala are really bad and they didn't translate some things that even I as a non korean speaker who only knows korean through kdramas picked up on they must have used either some sort of AI or google translate.
Are you talking seriously?? What respect should he show his dad was an abusive drunkhead who not only beat him…
I mean Dohoi can't be blamed for feeling like juyeong's behaviour is absurd I know how Asian culture is like I'm west Asian aka middle Eastern and family is also a very important thing but it still doesn't feel right to take care of sb who abused someone else especially if it was a friend or lover. And I just can't see how jy saw any changes in that man he literally blamed jy in that cafe scene so he clearly didn't regret beating up jy. Like I feel like dohoi is justified in feeling betrayed by juyeong for taking care of his "dad" like jy obviously did it at first bc it was his last link to dohoi but beyond that I don't get how he formed a son-father relationship with him and this might be the whole reason why dohoi avoided him he only showed up to jy after his dad died as if there was no barrier between them anymore.
The only person who is justified here is Yeong, Dohoe can go fall off that building of his for all I care. So,…
Maybe bc his father never changed?? Even when he met up with juyeong he blamed him for hitting him when he was the one hitting juyeong first. Nothing can justify hyunho beating or watching as his friends beat up dohoi but he if he did really change and apologise sincerely I could see how dohoi could have forgiven him. But his dad didn't and he also was probably the reason his mom ran away at least dohoi had a good relationship with hyunho before he decided to be a bully but he never had a good relationship with his father. I honestly don't get how you're defending an abusive man even if fictional and blaming the victim in the situation ofc victims aren't perfect and they can do wrong things that doesn't erase them being victims of abuse they often act irrationally bc of the abuse they suffered from.
Episode 4 was testing my patience! I wanted to bi*chslap DH into oblivion. I get that there are some reasons behind…
Are you talking seriously?? What respect should he show his dad was an abusive drunkhead who not only beat him up but also degraded him for his mom running away which he probably is the reason for in the first place. He cut contact with his "dad" for years and that guy never acted like a father he has a right to act this way towards him your words are very insensitive just because someone is part of your family doesn't justify them being abusive and you can cut off bad people from your life his dad never even apologised or redeemed himself. Even when he was meeting up with Juyeong he talked abt how juyeong "hit" him as if it wasn't self defense against him beating juyeong for telling him to be quiet bc his son is sleeping and has an entrance exam. That's a guy who never changed and dohoi shouldn't feel guilty or obliged to care about him.
Dohoi's dad was talking abt Juyeong hitting him back if you rewatch the scene where the dad hit juyeong in the gym juyeong hits back then the police come and his parents too who scold him for hitting his teacher again although it was clear self defense.
So the subtitles are really bad but what from what I got is that dohoi's dad had been hitting juyeong bc his parents…
Also the whole reason why juyeong is staying at dohoi's dad's taekwondo gym is bc he hit a teacher who was beating his friend and instead of sticking up to him his parents banished him.
So the subtitles are really bad but what from what I got is that dohoi's dad had been hitting juyeong bc his parents…
But that's what was shown tho? Unless they will give more flashbacks this is what happened the parents told juyeong in the car that he should "behave" bc if the police didn't let him off he couldn't join Uni and dohoi's dad told dohoi that juyeong's parents bowed to him as an apology for their son hitting him.
This was great i loved it need more dramas like this it's so good it has everything you want in it comedy, friendship, romance, angst, fluff, time travel and the best of everything.
Also he cried for him? I don't get how they could have good relationship after everything what happened. Do hoe…
Yeah he lied to him when he knew how dohoi feels about people being beat up by his father he even seemed to accept those bully's beatings bc of that reason as if he were the guilty one. But I can't understand how he's with his ex bully/friend unless he redeemed himself for real.
Ok so I feel like the whole angst and the divorce era is bc of juyeong staying in contact with dohoi's dad that would maybe make dohoi feel betrayed. That's my theory bc I don't think dohoi is scared of juyeong he hates violent behaviour yes but he definitely doesn't think self defense is violence like he's traumatised from the abuse but he can differentiate between violence and self defence.
I'm sorry but like I don't get why juyeong stayed in contact with dohoi's father either way dohoi was gonna run away from home bc his dad's an abusive jackass. Also ep 3 was good and cute but ep4 spent too much time on the dad's funeral he really did not deserve dohoi coming there. And the people talking behind his back as if his dad wasn't beating him up and being an overall shit dad??
I don't get it?! what happened? why is he acting like this towards Juyeong? I am genuinely confus, I started crying…
So the subtitles are really bad but what from what I got is that dohoi's dad had been hitting juyeong bc his parents told him to discipline him when dohoi asked juyeong if his dad hit him he lied and dohoi believed him. But at the day of dohoi's entrance exam dohoi's dad hit juyeong again bc he told him and his friends to be quiet bc dohoi is sleeping and juyeong hit back which is why the police was involved and juyeong's parents were called to come take him. I guess hyunho heard abt this and told dohoi so he rushed home didn't take the exam and confronted his dad then he reached for the knive but let it go because he probably realised that this violent environment is driving him crazy so he ran from him home and broke his contact with juyeong most likely bc he felt like it was his fault that his dad beat him up.
I dont get the hype honestly and i also dnt get why people are treating it like a masterpiece. i didn't find it…
It has a good plot good acting and it's cute. Everybody has their preference I enjoyed love in the big city too because I do like realistic shows and it was well done. Let free the curse of Taekwondo is also a bit similar it does tackle heavy issue like abuse, bullying and homophobia but also has light moments. People also really like the director's previous shows and her style like Blueming, to my star and where your eyes linger there were some references to these shows as well in there.
I would say that the first 3/4 was beyond expectations and I loved it. That last arc was a bit sloppy in comparison…
Bc even his gay friends were judgmental of people with it and it's hard to get jobs in a country like Korea where health checks in companies are a big thing. Plus the military doctor assured him that there's a 0% probability of him transmitting it to sb else. I agree that the should have told his partners though. (This is shown in the series with the flashbacks)
