Why are you guys surprised Yul doesn't change in the end? He showed who he is, which is a manipulative, obsessive, selfish sociopath. It would be weirder if he magically became a self sacrificing (by letting Howoo go), selfless and truly caring individual after what we witnessed about him. Some of the worst sociopaths aren't born this way, not everything needs to be about a hurt ml with a plot that takes advantage of his abuse to justify and magically change him into a kind person despite committing some horrifying shit. People can have a hurt childhood and still be a non justifiable piece of trash. Yul always cared more about how HE feels not how Howoon does. Howoon's feelings come second. If Yul wants to own Howoon, he will regardless of how Howoon feels. If he wants to take he will. Be it through emotional manipulation or straight up threats.If he wants to destroy he will. What matters in the end, is what HE wants. I think a lot of us get lost in the clichè fairytale of a violent, dangerous and straight up horrible individual, turning into a misunderstood (who still committed the crimes he is accused of, but STILL misunderstood), deep down kind and caring prince who is only rough around the edges (i mean he still kills and rapes but UwU).
