I will never understand people who are so desperately trying to justify Jo by distorting the plot and making TJ the villain, although even the author has said many times that he is not a bad guy.
We were even shown how TJ cried, realizing his helplessness & sincerely trying to help Ian get out of David Kim's hands and overcome drug addiction. He was the only one who stayed by his side when everyone turned their backs on Shin Youngwoo.
Is TJ to blame for coming to Jason to ask to accept them into the gang, guaranteeing protection? Should he really have just watched as his loved one was tortured?
How can you know their backstory & not understand his experiences, fears and true motives? Even Ian said that he can live without worrying about enemies wanting to kill him only because of Oh Taejoon.
"Jo is better"? You're talking about a man condemned Ian's lifestyle, manipulated and guilt tripped him by hiding the fact that his fingers were healed, deliberately prevented him from meeting TJ even though he saw them running to meet each other, raped him while clearly seeing his partner pass out, marked him as a thing without getting consent, lied to him that nothing happened.
It's true that every character has their flaws but you can't blame all the troubles on TJ who was even ready to die so that Ian could live.
I wish it could be pinned
