I agree with everything you said here. I’m disappointed af but honestly not surprised bc this artist has a tendency to go this route with the things she creates. I’m guessing that Je-oh will go to blue hair, manage to get again and atp I’m not sure what to expect but Seong-Rok will likely come to his rescue again. The character assassination of SR really bothers me though and while I’m going to wait for the eng trans to make any assumptions, it’s literally so out of left field that I’m not sure what to make of where this manhwa is headed now. Might have to let it pile up before I try and keep reading.
Just a little thought I had while reading this chapter and the recent raws...
Spoiler ahead just in case///
Seongrok did what Jeoh hates/fears the most... and Jeoh is becoming or turning into that awful woman that did so much damage to Seongrok, he's literally walking the same path as her and now is considering the option of being with a bigger piece in the chess, of being with a man with power. The history/cycle is repeating with him.
I must say I'm not surprised with what Jeoh is turning into (although I hoped so hard I was wrong.. there's still time and chapters left to prove I was wrong tho, so I will wait and see what he chooses to do). But what I'm surprised it's the direction the author chose with Seongrok because it's so out of character and honestly it just feels like the author needed to have a valid reason to excuse what Jeoh may do in the next chapters... and I'm so mad because, ruining a whole character, the ML who was against all that... for WHAT. For an excuse to say "Jeoh will go with the creepy guy and be with him because of what Seongrok did"... and again, if it tourns out like this... I will be extremely disappointed.
I'm just sad to see a character like Seongrok do something that just... goes against everything he is. And it goes way further than excuse it as "it's because this is psychological" it just doesn't make sense. It was a merely a plot excuse to justify what will come next. That's what I feel.
