"Jeakyung isn't thag bad at all"...girl. please. I agree that there are characters that are way worse than Jaekyung but that doesn't mean he isn't bad?? Lol. Also, can people stop excusing shitty behavior with childhood trauma please, you can go through a lot of shit and still chose to do do better and be better. Your trauma isn't other people's problem and should never be. It's a choice. Unless you have severe ptsd, schizophrenia, bpd, where you actually need medical help to be able to get better, then no, you have no excuse for shitty behavior.

I have a friend whose parents were absolutely terrible (abusive father, drug addict mother) he was left on the beach one time as a baby while his parents were high af and ants bit him and he got awfully sunburnt.
The guy is one of the nicest people I've ever met, sure he has issues, sure he is hurt and works on it every day, not ever have I ever seen him treat anybody around him the wrong way.

Of course there is always room for improvement and betterment. Maybe now we will see him have some character development and start working on himself for Dan and learn how to express his emotions and I hope the author would give us a good scene where he apologizes to Dan and starts working things with him

You don’t get to decide how much trauma a person goes through before it breaks them. Life isn’t black and white. People can go through the same conditions and still turn out different. It doesn’t excuse their personality but defines their pain. If you can’t think critically to understand that then you shouldn’t read stories like this

I hope things work out for him. Not all parents deserve that title. I also have a friend like that with an busive strict mom (absent father), and she is the sweetest girl ever. She never once uses her shitty home state or mental illnesse to act mean or anything. My baby. I'm almost 2 years older than her and waiting for her graduate uni (she gradutes this year yaay) so that she can come live with me in the capital away from her shitty mom.

Ok sure, this is a manwha so who cares, the childhood trauma is exactly the same we see in almost every manwha LOL so who cares
But let's say it's real life, there are plenty of serial killers/rapists who say "I did what I did because my father/mother abused me as a child" would you still think the same way? Do you think victims of abuse would be like "oh ok, I get it now, let me go and do the exact same thing to the next person because now my trauma is a reason for me to inflict more trauma on others"

Millions have gone through worse and came out good while others turned “bad.” You don’t get to dictate how people react to their experiences. Life is different for everyone. You should stop using your “friends” trauma as a tool to bring other people’s experiences down. I’m sure your friend doesn’t look down on others like you do.

"It doesn't excuse their personality but defines their pain"...nobody said it didn't ?? I never said people weren't allowed to feel pain from their trauma, i said that it is a choice to ACT on those feelings. Like, did you read what i wrote. Yes, people react to stuff differently, some are more mentally resilient and others crack very easily, no shame in that, we're all built different. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you've gone through, as soon as you start abusing others, you go from victime to abuser. Period. Does that suddenly erase your trauma and pain? No. Are you a shitty person for acting shitty? Yes. You can never excuse horrible acts with childhood trauma. You can explain it, but never justify it.
Like why are you still reading this story. Bitching about “rape” on a pirated site. People when adults go through childhood trauma and don’t turn out to be saints. Like be fr. Jaekyung isn’t that bad at all. There’s worse MLs out there.
