To those who call Secretary Jung-Ah selfish or anything like that, Remember, she’s an o...

I guess the fate of side characters is that no matter how much they sacrifice or help the main character, if they don’t love them unconditionally and dare to have personal desires, they’ve committed a serious crime. LOL.

I don’t even like Jung-Ah, but the way people are so desperate to hate on her is honestly hilarious.

I don’t disagree with you but he could’ve survived without her tbh it just wouldn’t have been as good as this because the lady that has been thinking she has him under her control could have killed him a long time ago but the grand father is the one that kept him alive for his own amusement. Jitae could have been dead but they decided to keep him alive but him being grateful to her isn’t as easy as it seems especially when she hid everything from him and he found out on his own. Yes she could have left like you said but at the same time he has no reason to be grateful to someone that wants him to act on revenge and hid the truth about his mom from him. And I don’t dislike her but I’m just saying you wouldn’t be happy about that either, and I get that she lobed his mother but she could have at least told him something. And she didn’t come to help him until a while later.

??? You still think Jung-Ah is obligated to help Jitae even though she only promised to keep an eye on him? Basically, just being there to support and stay by Jitae’s side is enough to fulfill her duty. And you’re saying Jitae has no obligation to be grateful to her just because she hid the fact that Mieum wasn’t involved in his mother’s death? He never respected or treated her well even before that. Did you even read the story properly?

Even though she was labeled the “adopted sister” of Jitae’s mother, Jitae was never kind to her. The author made it clear that Jitae, since childhood, never cared about anyone except Mieum. Go back and read chapter 54 before replying to me. He was indifferent even before knowing about Mieum, which gives Jung-Ah even more reason to not have any fondness for him. Stop defending Jitae so mindlessly. From the beginning, he wanted to avenge his mother, so why is he blaming Jung-Ah for pushing him to focus on revenge?

And where did you get the idea that Jung-Ah only started helping Jitae much later? She was following him since Soeun was still alive. Did you misread something? Or are you so convinced that Jitae cared about no one but Mieum that you assumed he really had no one by his side? Read the story carefully.

I’m not denying that Jung-Ah wasn’t fully devoted to Jitae, but from the start, she only cared about his mother, she had no obligation to him. Just being around to support him until now is already more than generous. What, do you think Jung-Ah is his mother or something, that she has to take responsibility for him?

Oh, so according to your naïve logic, when you rely on and ask someone for help countless times, you’re allowed to look down on them just because they kept a secret from you while still continuing to order them around as you please? Sure, your Jitae is always right. Everyone else is just wrong.

I never said he is always right and everyone else was wrong and I never said she was obligated to help him I said that she could have left a long time ago instead of sticking around him and no he doesn’t have to feel grateful towards someone he never asked to help. She on her own chose that path. And he never had a easy life growing up or getting treated right which is why he in different towards others, but the only person who really cared about him for him and not because of his family was mieum which is why he only care for him. Both her and him aren’t good people so they don’t need to be greatful or nice to each other. And its not like she cared about him either, she only cared about his mother. So just like he inky care for mieum , she also only care for his mom.

He didn’t ask for help, so there’s no need to feel grateful? Wow, you must be really popular in real life.

So gratitude is only valid if the person helping has no ulterior motives? That’s a new truth to me. Guess there’s no need to be grateful if you didn’t ask for it.

Sorry, but from what I’ve read, Jitae is still making her work for him while calling her selfish. Haha. Oh, if he’s so perfect and doesn’t need anyone’s help, then he should just handle Mieum and his own problems by himself.

Stop relying on someone ‘selfish’ like Jung-Ah. Try firing her and see how that goes. lol

Go read chapter 45 again. We clearly don’t share the same world view on this BL.

Bottom line, Jung-Ah has been helping Jitae a lot, yet he still treats her like nothing. Yeah, sure, go ahead and justify his apathy by bringing up his circumstances. I still stand my point, Jitae is ungrateful selfish little shit thank you. Like bro, i don’t even hate Jitae, but Jitae fan logic really make me feel different now.

I never said he had to feel grateful only if he asked for help I said he doesn’t have to feel grateful. I know it’s not a good thing but some people are like that. And I never said he was good and I’m always on his side. I said the reason he is like that because he basically don’t like her and I’m not justifying his logic or why he do what he do because he not a good person but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a story too. I was only saying that they both aren’t good people. And just because she is helping him doesn’t mean she care or like him either she just wants revenge and that’s what they are gonna do. He chose her to help because she the only one around that’s not going against him or turning her back on him, that’s why he keeps her around. And yes he could do without her but it will be much harder if he did because she has been doing everything for him now. And just fyi I never said I was on his side. I don’t hate him but I don’t like his ways either I am only explaining why he do what he do, not saying it’s right!

Agree

I think my biggest mistake was using my brain to read this BL because it’s clear that both the author and the fans have major logic issues. But whatever, Jitae is still the best, he so cool and love mieum x999 that only thing important. Though if I asked these fans to list what Jitae can actually do without anyone else’s help, using actual proof from the story and not baseless headcanons or his moments of flexing on villains, I doubt they could.

Chapter 39: Jitae knew nothing about his mother’s death. That information was given to him by Jin.
Jin was also the one who provided Jitae with intel on Suryeon. Do you really think Jitae could’ve easily gathered information on Suryeon without Jin? That woman might be easily provoked, but she’s not stupid. If she were, she wouldn’t have held power for ten years or managed to get into this family in the first place.

Let’s not forget that Jin was always by Suryeon’s side because she trusted him—not someone sitting at home, pretending to be a useless playboy like Jitae. I’m not blaming Jitae or saying he could’ve done anything differently because he was under constant surveillance, but that doesn’t change the fact that he needed help to fight Suryeon. And let’s be real, Jin has done the most in this entire story despite having the least screen time.

Then there’s Jian. If Jian hadn’t turned a blind eye and covered for Jitae (Chapters 19-24), maybe Jitae’s plan wouldn’t have been exposed. And when everything fell apart, it was Jian who spoke up for Jitae and Mieum so Suryeon wouldn’t go after them (Chapter 42). Not to mention, Mieum might not have even survived to meet Jitae if Jian hadn’t intervened. Why? Chapter 34 explains that if Mieum’s idiot father hadn’t Go meet Suryeon, Jian wouldn’t have dragged Mieum into this mess. But if Mieum’s father went missing, wouldn’t Mieum have gone looking for him everywhere? And if he ended up in Suryeon’s sights, do you really think he’d still be alive? Jitae can’t do shit to protect Mieum if that happened.

Jian didn’t gain anything from helping Jitae and Mieum. He did it because he felt guilty about taking everything from Jitae even though it wasn’t something he wanted in the first place. His own mother forced him into this family, and later, he even found out he wasn’t Yoon Kang son.

Then there’s Jung-Ah. Every time she appears, it’s Jitae ordered her to do something, whether it’s taking care of Mieum or helping with his revenge. But no, since she has selfish motives, apparently Jitae doesn’t need to be grateful. Sure, whatever. But does that change the fact that she’s helping him and still is?

Tell me, where in the story does it show that Jitae can fight on his own without anyone’s help? Right now, Jitae, aside from shitting at villains and making everyone around him walk on eggshells by word, what exactly is he doing? Please, enlighten me, because at this point, instead of just seeing him as an ungrateful brat, I actually think he’s completely useless. Yeah, sure, he’s not in the wrong and has no other choice, but that doesn’t change the fact that he literally can’t do anything without other people helping him.

I never said that he doesn’t need anyone, you keep twisting my words around. I said he would have a more difficult time without help from Jung ah. It wouldn’t be impossible for him to do it on his own but it would be much harder and I never said I disagreed with you I only said that they were both at fault for what they doing. Yes they both are helping each other because she wants revenge and so does he. And Jitae would need help from other people yes to get faster evidence, but I never said from anyone else. I was talking about Jung ah. He would have a hard time without her but it’s not like he can’t do nothing. And I like him too, and her a lil. But I never said he was all that and he could accomplish everything on his own. Because if Mieum left or died he would break and wouldn’t be able to do anything. So yes we know he needs him. I don’t disagree with what you are saying but if we are gonna blame one person we might as well blame em all because just as Jung ah did things, He did too

I read the story so I know what happened I’m not defending either of them or how he could do this and that but they both should take accountability
