This is something I wrote early on about the series, and I just hope the author doesn't make Hyesung the bad guy and force him to reconcile. If there's no actual discussion and resolution, it's just going to make the rest of the story hard to read. I already dislike the story direction with the cousin and the other girl (I don't like the pairing at all), having such a major plot point fumbled will bring down everything else.
The staying in contact with Hyesung's mom problem. Like I get she escaped an abusive relationship but she had years to contact her son. By the start of the story Hyesung is an adult, so it's not like she HAD to have the father's permission to see him after a while. Also, hypothetically, if she had the opportunity to actually see her son earlier, would she have still kept him a secret? She didn't tell her new family about him even after trying to meet him, so would she have still kept him a secret from her family even if she could see him as a child? I don't like the mom, and I didn't feel sad that her new family left her, like she abandoned her son once, would she also dip out on them if the tides turned? So that whole bit just left a sour taste in my mouth, and unless it becomes an actual storyline with Hyesung being angry at his spouse and child, it'll just be a shitty thing to force someone to accept. What're they gonna do next, secretly take the new baby to see the mom when Hyesung cut her off for valid reasons? For Hyesung to reconcile with a woman who abandoned him and only showed back up when it was convenient for her?
