We as readers were meant to see it, so yes I saw it. Just like the author wanted. The people in the story didn’t. MC knew from abuse in another life that she was a bad person. The people of power around him knew nothing about that, or they would never have brought her to serve him. All they knew was that a maid they found adequate was denied to work because “her face was ugly”. They laughed at the mockery, enjoyed the humiliation of her, threatened her life when she spoke up, and catered to a man whose only reason was that her ugliness hurt his eyes. That is normally a storyline used to describe a BAD person, BAD people. I don’t enjoy seeing it in people we are meant to like :(

Okay, we know that the maid used to be very cruel towards Yeo-Dam, but the way he said no about her was concerning. More concerning was how the rest of them just went along with it: throw her out, don’t let her ugly face hurt his eyes, she dared speak - let’s kill her! I’m just thinking about all the stories where a cruel Nobel ruined some poor soul’s life and it went down exactly like that. It’s not a behavioural I like seeing, especially not from “the good guys”. Let’s not forget that Yeo-Dam was the only one who knew she had a mean streak.
