yes. i’ll probably get attacked for this. but tbh i think they’re all manipulative EVEN IF ITS JUST A LITTLE BIT. none of them should’ve ended up together. they all should’ve had a new different love interest in my opinion. they all need therapy and to take time to better themselves.

honestly i get what youre saying, but them being manipulative isn't just gonna be solved if they find new partners. the point of the story was to let them develop and sort out their mistakes within their current partners and environment that the author set.
also haesoo/taku are definitely characterized as being manipulative. but i dont really see how joowon is lol

i never said he wasn't "toxic". but toxic is a vague word. like what is joowon exactly? was he arrogant? immature? impulsive? yeah. but was he manipulative? no.
in fact haesoo is the manipulative one. the one who made jw act out in jealous and possessive ways, as haesoo explains in their relationship: how he'd purposely MAKE joowon feel jealous and angry in order to feel "loved" or attended to. and then look at the pages where it has haesoo saying he'd purposely build walls just in order for joowon to tear them down. joowon always took the bait because haesoo wanted him to do so.
what if the dad sent her to marry the prince because he knew that he was sick...
Knew what?
The dad look sort of sickly in the last panel and the fortune teller said someone close to her will pass:( I really hope it’s not the case
