No that would be in most countries. When you hurt someone to safe someone it's different but the ex stopped and was shocked not in the motion to do anything else.
Normally you wouldn't get a problem when you hurt him after he did something but when he stopped and there is no new attack coming your nit allowed to hurt someone.
If you get reported there normally isn't a lot coming from because ist hard to make sure what exactly happened and who was in danger at what time but even in western countries you could get reported for that even its not fair.
But over all I'm so tired of this never ending drama that I'm thinking of dropping this. It's so annoying and unnecessary and there is also no reason for it for the plot. It's like the plot is stuck in a loop for too long...
Isn't there some kind of understanding that if you attack someone you'll face retaliation?
Specially in such an emotion driven fight?
That's most countries law for ya
socially, yes. legally, not really.
That is South Korean law for ya
