I think Dan shouldn’t rush to “forgive” Joo, because the harm and imbalance in their relationship can’t be erased overnight. We also have to remember that Dan agreed to sell himself, in his own way. Maybe Joo was a jerk, but in a twisted sense, Dan managed to “get by” thanks to him. This doesn’t excuse Joo’s behavior at all, but it’s part of the bigger picture. Personally, I’d like to see Joo struggle to win Dan back. I don’t want Dan to just go back to him like nothing happened.

Just because a couple doesn’t end up together means its a tragedy, they can be together or they can have a mutual understanding at the end and not get together and move on with their lives, both are fine for me. I know mingwa has shitty writing and does the typical toxic manwha plot flow so im being asked should they be together? Personally no but I KNOW theyre gonna be together because thats where the story goes so im just stating out MY opinion, not storywise but personal wise.
A little debate for those who are interested: Should Dan “forgive” Joo? Should he help Joo win his title? Should they end up together? I'm curious to hear your real thoughts, not just “yes or no.”
