OG Choi Han they could never make me hate you cause if some random rich boy was yelling at me and telling me my family deserved to die like a day after it happened and all I wanted was to know how I could get help Iād beat him up too
This plus the added fact that the Harris Village people were the first people to take Choi Han in and take care of him after years and years in the dark forest. Like heās obviously not going to be mentally stable after all that, and he was so young when everything happened to him like I cannot blame him at all. I donāt think I can ever hate OG Choi Han like ever, heās flawed, he has problems, but I love him dearly. He deserves the world. This kid who had to fight for his life, was taken away from his family, and in the process had to give up parts of his own humanity to survive, and like went to war two years later, they could never make me hate u OG Choi Hanā¦
Like yeah violence is bad I guess but OG Cale had it coming(saying this as an OG Cale fan, I love him, but he was mean as hell when he was younger!)
If Iām honest, I think they were both in the wrong to an extent. Like OG Cale shouldnāt have said all that no matter the circumstances, and OG Choi Han shouldnāt have beaten him up so much. But u say mean shit and you get hit, that is how it will work when youāre talking to the guy who just saw his entire village get murdered like idkkkk man
I understand where OG Cale was coming from, but he had many issues and while he wasnāt an awful person, he was capable of doing bad things because of his own internalized pain and emotions that he never got to properly process because of his emotionally distant childhood and relationship with his father who should have been there for him more when he was younger.
Okay speaking of his childhood, Deruth isnāt the WORST father in the world but there are a lot of things he could have done better. I think a lot of Deruthās flaws come from his fear of failure and messing up. Heās scared of doing the wrong thing, and so he sticks to doing what he knows and using what he knows best. Thatās why he uses his money, thatās why gift giving is his way of showing affection, he knows that it is one thing he cannot mess up.
The problem is that money and gifts is NOT what OG Cale needed. I think what that guy needed the most was a parent who wasnāt afraid to talk to him, to ask him questions. Not to say that Deruth gave up on OG Cale, but I think in a way he gave up on OG Cale by giving up on himself. Deruth didnāt trust himself to have the capabilities to talk to OG Cale, which is why he never did. Itās because that Deruth was scared, and didnāt trust himself, that he could never face OG Cale
If Deruth was able to trust himself a little more, and pull himself together, I donāt think OG Cale would have turned out the way he did. As a kid, he probably thought the only way he could help his family without relying on anyone(no doubt this whole āI have to do it myselfā thing came from the fact that he couldnāt rely on his father when his mom died, and instead was acting as a pillar of support for his father when it should have been the other way around) was to sabotage himself, the only heir. If he was shown to be unfit to be heir, then everyone else would have no choice but to direct their hatred towards him instead of his family.
If Deruth had talked to his son at least ONCE when he was a kid, asking him why he was upset or why he did the things he did, I think OG Cale would have told him. Why? Because heās a kid!! A kid will obviously want to rely on his father, if he just had one sign telling him that he didnāt have to do it alone Iām 90% sure OG Cale would have said something.
Basically, while Deruth isnāt the worst father, heās not really a great father either. I think he does do his best, but he has issues with communication lol
OG Cale and OG Choi Han are both complex characters and had their own reasons to behave the way they did. The thing is with people is that theyāre complicated and have layers, so the situation with them would have layers behind it as well with multiple co-existing truths and stuff
