Saaame. Like, great. Taeha wants her to thrive I guessing. But he’s putting her in the crosshairs of his family, who are abusive and vengeful. Sure, on her own she’d face adversity and men who suck (literally just life for women in this world), but at least she wouldn’t be trusting someone with her safety who really won’t be able to help her against his own demons. He’s bringing danger to her doorstep and every lie is just arrogance that will backfire. He keeps alluding to their eventual end, like it’s inevitable, and I’m dreading what he believes that will look like. I hate that I know his brother will find her. There’s no way he won’t. It’s not like Taeha’s dad is going to reel in the son who tried to murder his brother multiple times. I’m getting stressed about it. This poor woman.
Normally we get people that are undeniably shltty and any good deed was self-serving. I hate Mincheol, but I think it's neat that the author made him a genuinely solid fella in the backstory. It shows how and why they were a couple in the first place. That there was enough good to pull ahead and that people can change for the worse.
They were cute and under different circumstances, their love story could have been a sweet tale of uplifting each other and staying through thick and thin. But they got financial problems which is basically a baton to the knee for relationships and it all went downhill.
I think this makes the story a lot more believable.
Also I hope she stays single. I think it's absolute dog shlt that he lies to her now, especially after the shlt she went through to manipulate her into another dependent relationship. Fvck him and Mincheol, I am team stable income for Na Hae-soo. I am team lotto win. I am team sudden good job opportunity
