What the heck!

I don’t really know how to feel about this trope... The way the ML views their relationship with almost clinical detachment, all in the name of disproving the Naming system, genuinely annoys me

he tries to test whether love can exist outside the constraints of Fate, and then pulls away once he thinks he's "disproven" it. Maybe you could argue he’s trying not to push boundaries any further, but really, he never had any issue doing so in the beginning when it should have mattered. If anything, he's retreating now because it's him getting hurt, not the MC.

The whole thing feels like a controlled test environment, where one person has all the data while the other is a variable to be observed. He withholds the truth, watches the MC respond without knowing so, or that there is even information being withheld in the first place, and then chalks up every reaction to “as expected” misunderstandings, misunderstandings he’s directly caused. Ultimately, I fault the ML more than I fault Hanyeong. Why are you weaponizing doubt and uncertainty, and then pull away when it brings about ambiguity to your situation? It pisses me off

    It sucks too because Hanyeong genuinely thinks he knows everything there is to know, and you would think so too if you were in his situation. How often would you think the flap under your ass would be hiding any type of secret that even your mother doesn't know about
