I'll vent with you. I also purchased chapters on Tappytoons and was looking forward to the continuation, but then season 2 became such a sh/tshow that I dropped it at chapter 105.

I don't really like the overused amnesia trope, but I stuck with the story anyway until the insertion of the whole stingy sunbae/pyramid scheme arc. It was utterly unnecessary and that was really the breaking point for me. Too much time was spent dragging that whole thing out while we still have a huge issues from season 1 still unresolved. Whatever happened with Minyul's creepy brother? MC seeing those obsessive photos of Minyul posted in his room? Was Minyul ever outed for his involvement in the assault on Seulbee? Was this ever brought up again or did I just drop it too soon?
The MC is so damn stupid I can't even with him. I, too, used to find him endearing, but now I can't stand him. MC feels bad for wasting his parents' money and Hyun's time tutoring him, but literally doesn't do a damn thing like work hard in his studies. He's like someone who stands in a rainstorm and wonders why he's dripping wet. Speaking of Hyun, I really dislike him - okay so you've been in love with idiot MC for years, but still demean him, don't show any affection, and then feels butthurt when Minyul finally shows MC some love and understanding? I can't stand that type of character.... really, I can't stand any of the characters... idiot MC, fake ass Seulbee, intolerable fool sunbae, woe-is-me-unrequited-love-Hyun, the 2 NPC's from the cram school who were so forgettable I don't even remember their names (1 silver hair & 1 dark hair?). Minyul was the only redeemable one and had a decently hashed out background that underscored the motivation behind his actions. Even his creepy ass brother was better hashed out than most of the other characters.
(Spoiler) ...Yeah I feel the worst for Minyul who never had someone to be a proper friend to him, or guide him when he's wrong; and he's kind of the only coherent character in this whole shit show. Reverse goes for Hyun who I find way too unbearable and low key creep.

The incident with Seulbee does get brought up again, but it turns out it's not Minyul's fault (entirely). He didn't ask his brother to assault her; he just told him to "do what he does best", and that is, stealing all his girlfriends, because in the past Minyul's brother would steal all of Minyul's lovers. He never wished harm on Seulbee, he just wanted her to stop pestering Jungsoo. Hyun is the one who finds this out by persistently visiting the brother (to make sure Jungsoo isn't dating a psychopath (Minyul)); and ultimately it is just the brother who is a psychopath through and through.
>__>) the fact that Hyun goes out of his way for this reason though is so.....y'know?
><) it's not concluded yet... atm, no one is dating anyone. Jungsoo and Hyun are still just friends.
o<-< Sorry to dump my feelings here but I'm up to ch 130 (paid) and I had no where else to vent but I'm really just upset at Jungsoo (MC). I used to find him endearing, but the entire time he's been very half-assed with everything. Half-assed with his school work, his sports...his relationships. And he keeps running away from all of his problems without ever facing them head on. Even the Amnesia was just him escaping. I know Minyul has a lot of emotional damage, but ultimately Jungsoo is a coward who doesn't ever want to try to put in the effort. For someone who says he loves Minyul, he just decided for the both of them it was easier to cut Minyul out rather than try to help him and work with him.
Yeah, it's going to be a hassle, that's valid, and no one has to deal with that, but I find it hard to believe that you can be so heartbroken over someone when you were the one that one-sidedly didn't want to hear them out, cut things off, moved on, and told them to do the same over a reason you made justifications for all by yourself without letting the other party get a word in... Even the reason Jungsoo broke up with Minyul is so logically flawed.
