Y'all should maybe read Ido's POV. From what I know, it's also heartbreaking. I agree that it didn't justify the rape or the forced bonding, because he was just hurt and taking revenge. But I also know that Ido did fall for and just didn't go about it the right way. There was just a loft miscommunication from both parts. In the 2nd time line, he tried to rectify everything that he and everyone else did wrong to Sejin. A lot of people think there's no repenting on Ido's side or that he doesn't deserve a 2nd chance, but then y'all are the same that watch the same story in another work and enjoy it, cause the only difference is that MC didn't take their life. I don't think he just tried to make everything good, but in fact, tried to let him go and for Sejin to start a new life. Sejin wanting to be together is what led to where he is now in the present, and the reason that when they bonded he got all his memories. He tried to know why Ido showed him love and then pushed him away... I also think that even if I wasn't the cause of somebody's hurt, I wouldn't want them to relieve it, so even though I also don't justify Ido's omission of the truth (of their previous life), I understand why he did it. The facts are that Ido did try to get him out of his family and for him to start fresh. I don't think that just comes from regret. It's fueled by it, yeah, but this time, there's also genuine love. Because what he did in the past obviously wasn't it. And why advocate for only "some people" to have a redemption arc?
