So I'm new to Backlight (as in I JUST read it) so Idk if this IS a controversial opinion or if other people here share the same thought as me, but I REALLY wish to see more of Jaewon from Jaewon's POV. Just his story. I don't want a love story but just what was going on through his mind the whole time for him to pull shit like this. I don't know what to feel for him as a character. I definitely don't want his actions to be justified in any sense but I still understand him to a certain limit (I can't help it ok. It's all there) and I want to see more of him. As much as I hate him, there was clearly a lot going on with him. Dude has a lot of potential to be the kind of 'character you hate to end up understanding and feeling empathy for despite them being grade A assholes and irredeemable piece of shits.'
