i understand why people dislike ari, she’s not likable (unless u relate to her)! all we’ve seen are baddd sides of her, but we can still feel empathetic, as she’s a woman in an unhealthy relationship. she did NOT know what she was getting into. all she saw was his facade at first. micheol is a misogynistic asshole. instead of dogpiling the young home wrecker, can we all just perhaps hate the evil sadistic, cheating, conniving, narcissistic man who set this all off..?
she didn't know? how :))) it's like right there, right thereeeee. Example: Hae soo's stuff must be lying around the house when they first had sex, Mincheol never agreed to marry her, always fiddling with his phone, ... there are just so many red flags to ignore :'> like even a blind person could be smarter about this.
someone pointed out that the story conveniently just doesn't give her time to ponder, okay I admit that. But bruh after all this time? I don't think so :) either she chose to be ignorant, or she's just way too naive for her own good.
she’s naive because she’s young
i feel so bad for ari no matter how anyone feels about her, the fact still stands that she’s younger, impressionable, and has obviously never been in a healthy relationship, or one at all. he is literally taking his anger out on her, it was genuinely unsettling to read, plus her saying (not a quote) “no, pull out” AHEM AHEM… she was also genuinely upset with him and he decided “hm, let’s have sex to further use her as a distraction” hence manipulating her with sex. this isn’t fair to her AT ALL, it hurts to read, and i hope he dies soon
