Revenge Is Ours — Chapter 44

Whew, Revenge Is Ours - Chapter 44 really got readers talking, and the spotlight was firmly on Taesu this time around! ✨ It seems people have some *very* mixed feelings about his character and actions in this chapter.

On one hand, quite a few readers find him to be a complex and interesting character, maybe even the most fleshed-out male lead so far. They appreciate seeing his inner thoughts and backstory, suggesting his flaws might stem from being warped by the tough entertainment industry. Some see him as a realistic portrayal of an imperfect person trying to navigate a difficult world, even acknowledging he has room to grow or needs therapy. 🌱

However, the criticism for his approach is loud and clear! Many feel his methods of "helping" Nana are totally messed up, manipulative, and come across as condescending or like "negging." 🤔 Readers didn't like him trying to force her to change or mold her into his image, especially when she seems capable of handling her own career choices and just wants to make a living, not necessarily be a top star. There's a strong sense that his actions didn't actually help her performance and might even be driven by his own insecurities or projection of his past experiences onto her. Some pointed out that he expects women to fight the system in ways he hasn't fully committed to himself.

The debate around his motivations is interesting – was he *really* trying to help her grow in a misguided way, or was it more about his own issues or even hoping she'd like him? Either way, the general consensus from many is a firm "Nope!" to any potential romance between Nana and Taesu. ❤️🚫 Readers feel Nana deserves much better and aren't keen on a redemption arc leading to a romantic pairing. It looks like for many, his actions crossed a line, making him a character they appreciate for his realism but definitely don't ship with the protagonist.

Overall, readers are divided but agree the manhwa excels at portraying realistic, flawed characters caught in a tough industry. Chapter 44 certainly gave everyone a lot to unpack! 😊
