EXACTLY
She's an imperfect character who screwed up and is trying
That doesn't immediately mean she's a saintess, but it also doesn't mean we should just hate her
People ask for characters with depth, but absolutely can't handle it when they get one
If she was the MC she wouldn’t get nearly this amount of flak, I swear. She’s literally going through a redemption arc right now of her own volition. If we don’t allow bad people to ever be redeemed then what’s the point of them atoning in the first place?
THANK YOU!!!, I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE THE BEGGINING!!! there's like a billion time return manhwas were the MC was a horrible human and then tries to redeem themselves after returning but no one seems to ever bring up any of the bad things they did since they're too busy fangirling over the romance

Oh yeah, I just want to make it clear that if Lyrica remembers her previous life and didn’t want to forgive her mother that would be SO fair. She wronged her daughter and she is not owed forgiveness from her victim (although Lyrica is a saint so she probably would anyway). I’m just saying that as an audience we shouldn’t hate her with such vitriol when she is trying her damndest to right those wrongs. I appreciate seeing an abuser genuinely try to atone. I prefer Lyrica overcoming her messy, complicated, overbearing, mother over a one-dimensional villain mother. I hope they both end up happy.
Christ, I was abused by my irl parents and I still think Lydia needs more grace from the audience. In my real ass life my parents have never tried to make amends for what they did to me. At least this woman is trying! I even like that she is too overbearing and fucks up at times - if she were just immediately reformed and perfect like it was that easy it would be a disgrace to her victim. Unlike most other OI’s with abusive parents who are reformed she isn’t working on herself because her daughter changed personality - SHE fucked up and she knows it. She is throwing everything into this and fuck me would I have appreciated that sort of love from my family.
