Just had another thought - that's it's actually very curious how the Asian worldview is more nuanced and cliche at the same time - like on one hand - everyone has to fit a particular box - but on the other - it's much more acceptable in storytelling that "bad people" can sometimes do "good thing", and the other way around, and good characters can turn bad and so on...
These chapters are in Mincheols POV but they are very centered around Na Haesoo. We learn about her father, what other people thought of her back in school, how Mincheol used to treat her, why they most likely got in debt,... I could go on.
We get a lot of insight on Mincheol's personality but not much else. I mean, we don't know about his family life at all or what he wants to go to college for even though its brought up a lot. Everything we've seen thus far has some connection to Haesoo.
Haesoo has lived more of her life with Mincheol than without, so it makes sense that we have to know him to know her.
