* I can't seem to bridge the gap between the two
But like when getting your memories back all suddenly like that doesn't leave you back at square 1. I think it would be like remembering something you've always known. The feelings are there and they're real but on top of that he also remembers how he really was but but that doesn't mean he suddenly falls out of love or disassociates with this "new personality", it becomes an addition to him. However I do agree we should have seen more of hawoon's internal crisis about finding out the truth and how he really was and how he treated wan.
But either way, I think that from the very beginning hawoon had been interested in wan and they somehow would've gotten together despite hawoon's self fulfilling prophecy act
I'm genuinely happy for the two, after his memories came back. But I felt rather empty at the same time : I felt as if the author skipped a crucial period of character development for Ha-Woon, to reconcile the nasty Ha-Woon of the first three chapters, to the Ha-Woon who realized he loves Wan after getting his memories back. When he recovered his memories, shouldn't he have a moment of self-crisis first? I mean, he initially regarded Wan as nothing more then a bug, and now, when he gets his memories back, wouldn't he be in emotional breakdown finding out he is 1)actually capable of falling in love 2) loving someone he disdained earlier and 3)finding out Wan fed little lies to him?
I couldn't help but feel the reason of 'protecting Han from his brother' seems a cop out, and the author could've explored Ha-Woon's character so much more (perhaps a chapter or two) Because as of now, the Ha-Woon in the beginning and now, coupled with his love and finally remembering the circumstances that made him who he was originally, is worlds different and I can seem to bridge the gap between the two.
