Say what you want about the ML, I quite like him. What he did at the beginning towards a child wasn't okay, he made up for it with taking a step back from blaming the FL to giving advice and her being clear and rational. He is quite loving and awkward but he is also charming. He is slowly growing feelings for the FL but his childhood friend is ruining it by forcing him into an arranged marriage even though she is a CANDIDATE. I don't think the FL realizes she is also growing feelings for him but she is definitely enjoying his presence. He also makes a better father figure for Adam than his actual bio dad. And the whole "he is weak against his family" is bs because he explained his homelife and how shitty it was. You expect just because he is a man he would suck it up and stand up for himself against his family, no. He has his issues and unresolved feelings about them.

The ML is a green flag.
