I agree with all of this. Especially when you cited Claude Frollo- he gives me the same vibes as him too. I don't see this relationship becoming romantic and personally, I don't want it to go that way since Seugho is too crazy to be a match for anyone....(⊙…⊙ )
Seungho's got too much chaos going on in his head to handle love lol
But I would love for Nakyum to start pulling an Esmeralda and actually give this nigga some chase. I want to see more of an equal power struggle, I want to see him drive Seungho crazy muhahahaha (plus Seungho is lowkey hot when he's all boypussy whipped not gonna lie). I don't see a romance ending either and tbh the story wouldn't be as strong, captivating and intense if it went that route imo. Though I would be up for seeing Seungho change for the better in some way, just because that would be the biggest plot twist!
Unfortunately I don't have much faith that my son will develop to be stronger but I do think Seungho will have an interesting development.

Well Seungho got what he wanted, had a temper tantrum and beat the shit out of his servants, and now he got what he wants yet again. It's really starting to make even more sense why he's so entitled. Though this time its thanks to Inhun, I hope Inshit dies for bringing them back to that house, I hope he gets stabbed to death.
I translated some of the text and Seungho had the audacity to tell Nakyum to stop pretending he doesn't like it while forcing Na to look at his own expression in the mirror. Bruh I could smack the shit out of him. Also, he had the nerves to get mad at Na for not answering him in the beginning. NIGGA HE DON"T FUCKING LIKE YOU, HE DOESN"T WANT TO PAINT HIS ASSAULTS FUCK OFF. It's like Seungho can't accept that he's not the romance interest and he's trying to force himself into the role anyway (which is sort of funny in a fucked up way).
I hope Na continues to at least deny him his heart because at this point I want Seungho to suffer out of pure spite, he needs to respect the word "no" for once in his life. I almost feel like Seungho's abandonment issues and his family's dwindling power makes him want to use his control over Na as a coping mechanism. Sounds weird but he does seem to also get off on the idea of dominating Nakyum. He might seem flippant and carefree on the outside but I think Seungho feels rising insecurity and turmoil from his past and from his current situation. He's hopelessly trying to hold on to some semblance of control and Na is the perfect outlet; mix that up with lust, infatuation, and obsession and you got a perfect storm.
I mean Seungho is so obsessed with having Na's heart he's even trying to delude Na (and himself) into thinking he secretly wants it. He's so used to every man throwing themselves at him, so used to them worshiping him, that he'd rather force that idea on an unwilling Na then admit the truth. If we think about it his sexual prowess is the only power he has left, having a lowly peasant reject him must've pushed him fully into villainy.
Seungho had such a possessive look in his eyes when he looked at their reflection, man. Those golden eyes were staring into his soul like he was drinking up every bit of Nakyum. It was rather intense, Seungho is probably TOO intense a person to ever have a lover and now I'm seeing more proof of that.
This is definitely some Frollo Hunchback of Notre Dame type obsessive love.
Hear me out:
1) Both of them became infatuated with someone they see as inferior
2) Both don't know how to handle their infatuation because they are not familiar with that feeling
3) Both are powerful assholes, and both try to win their object of obsession through dominance and destruction.
Nakyum's got a powerful man absolutely whipped and we all know how those stories usually end. This just drove home the fact that Na is proooobably screwed. Yup.
Ugh, I hate it but it's also fucking interesting and I'm actually a slut for obsessive love plots as long as its done right and imo Byeon is definitely the type to give that sort of plot justice. I still want to german suplex both Seungho and Inhun but I'm kind of excited for the next development.
