A lot of people hate Eunhan with a burning passion, and honestly, I get it. The hatred makes sense, he’s raped, coerced, manipulated, and treated Han-gyul like shit in public. And let’s not forget the biggest thing, he literally altered Han-gyul’s entire fate. In one day, Han-gyul went from being a famous child actor with his soulmate, to a nobody…all thanks to Eunhan. On the surface, he’s a pure piece of shit.
But what about the layers behind it? It was his uncle who first manipulated him (a very young kid) to go into that cave, purely out of jealousy. And that uncle was still a kid himself…so yes, a villain, but also a literal child. Then there’s the salvation spirit, the real big bad here, who manipulated Eunhan into cutting and reattaching Han-gyul’s string. On top of that, Eunhan as an adult literally gets hypnotized to “not feel” or to “not care,” because his emotions are too overwhelming, he is trained into becoming emotionally constipated.
Now, I’m not asking anyone to forgive him. Heewon is clearly the top tier man here. He’s better than Eunhan in every way, from looks to personality. Personally, I’d love to see Heewon x Jaeyoon (since that’s what Heewon wanted). But if author decides to go the Heewon x Han-gyul route, I’ll respect the hell out of it. At the end of the day, I’m putting my faith in the author’s direction.
