'As Eunsung's father, I hated him. As a teacher, I pitied the sad life he lead. And as his father, I loved him'

more than anything, I mourn what this could have been had Hyukjoon's character actually conveyed such ambivalence. not once do his actions come across as sincere despite supposedly harboring these mixed emotions for Minjae all along. his every move is cold and calculated, not once do his hidden affections eclipse that hate.

For Minjae, such one-dimensionality makes sense because he is self aware. he knows he would've latched on to the first person to drag him from that orphanage and that it just so happened to be Hyukjoon. telling the police he killed his father is perhaps the most redeeming thing he could have done considering his incredibly conceited nature

Taehyun, babe. there was no way you could've fixed that lol
