For me personally I hold both baram and the teacher responsible
But the problem that the readers are talking about is not that baram isn't responsible at all, it's the fact that people only hold baram responsible in the manhwa. All the college students villainised her the moment the affair came to light. No one heard her side
Their relationship was something both should be held accountable for, why was the professor exempt from it? Also why is the family blaming baram for the professor's death and cheating? It's his own fault and he should take accountability. And ofc its not ideal but their relationship was legal age wise.
Baram was the soft target so instead of looking at the truth people decided to single handedly blame her.
That's the case for cheating cases as well. I'm not saying that the mistress or side chick isn't responsible, but the one who should take major accountability is the cheater, which in this case was the professor

in my uni, lecturer/faculty member and student relationship is solely on of the person in power's fault. i went to a law school so i guess we're pretty progressive with the burden of proof bc. bachelor students here are like 22 year old tops, compared to someone over twice that age, and with all the resources to either fail the student, withheld them in certain classes in multiple terms or even delaying their diploma, its pretty clear who is carrying the responsibility in these imbalanced campus affairs. ig i carry that belief while reading this webtoon and have never seen baram as anything other than a victim, WHICH in so far we have all read the webtoon and she has undeniably been revictimised multiple times beyond the actual 'affair'.
adults can be dumb and reckless and youths can be in control it can always be true, but in penal law, power imbalance within institutional hierarchy is an element of consideration. so yea baram is faulty in her naivete but thats the extent of it all. the rest of it falls on thr lecturer
I feel like many people (readers) are quick to put others down before also holding Baram accountable for things she may do/say/think. If you’d like me to explain pls let me know!
