First of, I AGREE they need therapy, the "love" they both feel is misplaced and stems from trauma. The age gap is problematic and there's power dynamics that further imbalance the relationship...
Still, yet, however, in spite of , because of... I love how messy this is. My heart is in constant angst. Like other users have mentioned I wish Yun-oh (top) left and made Haewon (bottom) really analyze what he wants from the relationship. I want more autonomy and self discovery from Yun-oh. I want more self-reflection from Haewon....
but ngl I love toxic/dysfunctional relationships, particularly slightly possessive/jealous lovers. And I love when the jealous partner doesn't realize he's jealous. I like that the plot is more complicated than the usual "simple misunderstanding," and am genuinely wanting to see how it evolves. And I want more interaction with Yun-oh's friends; I like that bunch. Most of the side characters feel fleshed out, and I appreciate it. The back story is decent and original enough. I also love how unsettling it is when Haewon is drawn to look upset/angry/possessive in the way villains are drawn. That may be a hot take.
