Ok guys I hate to say this but out of all the shitty exes I’ve ever seen I hate Kang Mincheol the least. I still hate him but maybe because he once loved Haesu so deeply and he meant well but poverty turned him into a whole other person. I really love how the author takes you through the journey of their thought process that stemmed from their past it’s good story telling <3

    Is it weird that I'm the opposite? The fact that he once loved her so deeply but is now so content with her being miserable with him makes me hate him a lot more, with other shitty exes it's usually shown that they were never that great in the first place but Mincheol really did a 180, and while poverty and hardship is terrible, you can't say it makes you a horrible person, by that logic hae soo should really be just as bad as him.

    Yes that makes sense but Mincheol still loves her it’s just that his love has become so twisted because he has lost his confidence as a man and his insecurities is what drive him to belittle Haesu even as he is living with another woman he thinks about her constantly idk I feel like the way he feels towards her is so realistic I’m enjoying the unraveling of his character (:

    I love reading comments they remind me how differently people's mind process the same thing. Personally I hate the fact that a dude that once loved na haesoo so much is now happy seeing her living a terrible life thanks to him. His ego and self respect as a man is so low and destroyed that he's happy seeing na haesoo miserable as an "insurance" that he's still not At the bottom yet, na haesoo is. I feel like his love dried out. And now he's just in a competition with na haesoo to see her being more miserable,in order to feel like his life isn't in shambles. This also explains his involvement with the other chic, "a breath of fresh air" it just looks like he likes the fact he's still desirable to other women while na haesoo isn't attractive to other men and has no option but to forgive him even if he cheats, giving him the upper hand.

    ..how exactly would you define as love? sure he cares about what's happening to her cuz its different from what he expected. This is because his self-esteem is still tied to her, he views her as the most important because of how much confidence she gives him by sacrificing herself in the process. That's why she wasn't relevant till he noticed how there's no action on her end. All those years, he's been blaming her for being in that situation but if something really does happen to her, he'll have no one but himself to blame again and will only cement how worthless he is. Notice how he got mad that someone mentioned taking care of her? cuz he's in-denial to the fact that he's really been nothing but a burden to her. He's also more worried about if she might have enjoyed other men than the fact that she might have been forced. like be fr.


    Of course its good how realistic its portrayed but I feel like just because he's good before ppl forget that doesn't qualify him to be bad now. Him being poor doesn't justify how bad he changed. Him being good to her before shouldn't be points to use to lessen the severity of his deeds now.
