I just can't get over the fact that he really thought he ate by pushing the FL away. Like… what exactly was he protecting her from? His entire family, including his dad, likes her. She literally took a hit for him once, she was there during the abuse and still stood by him. And how does he repay her? By treating her like garbage, never thanking her for what she did, and then running around sleeping with a bunch of other women. Yet somehow, we're supposed to believe he’s liked her for a long time?

I do feel for him, what happened with his tutor was definitely messed up. Even if he made the first move, he was still a minor, and the adult should've known better. But let’s be real: everything he did after that was on him. He made those choices, and most of them were just dumb.

Yes, he's a teen, full of hormones, acting out because of the abuse from his father. I get it. But he kept up that behavior well into adulthood or college (not sure of the exact age). And honestly, the only reason he and the FL are even speaking again is because he used sex !again! to reconnect with her. It feels like that’s all he ever thinks about.

To me, he just comes across as shallow. I get why some people defend him, and if you like him, that’s that. But I don’t think people are turned off just because he slept around. It’s more that he lacks real depth or growth as a male lead
