I loathe them because I understand their 'perspective'. It's the SAME perspective Hari had in the previous timeline but she never treated her brothers like sh!t because of it. How did SHE manage that when she WAS just a child *like them*? Too many double standards here peeps!
I think it's hard to judge them by these unrealistic standards we uphold our characters to. While they could have been kind, you have to remember they were/are still children who feel like they have lost everything to a stranger who does not deserve it (who they might think deceived their mom). Hari didn't have anything, she was used to it which is why she never retaliated - can you say now that she isn't slightly retaliating by taking all affection and care? She feels something is out of place and feels a little bit guilty making them cry but isn't she an adult now at the end of the day? Why is an adult bullying children? The boys might have felt some resentment towards Arina as well because she was sick so their parents never paid attention to them so now with healthy Hari they have somewhere to vent. I don't excuse them for that, but I don't condemn it either. In fact, I think it's very human and if they accepted her with open arms and "Call me oppa!", it would have been cute but unrealistic.
Lastly, do we even know the scope of things to hate them so much? How did her bully her to leave her without scars, alive and well? Emotional scars are a thing but she still seemed to think of them and not resent them. At the end of the day, the parents died 1 year in and yet Hari still lived well (especially if you consider her previous situation in which she would have died, been sold into a brothel or as a slave) and her brother still arranged a good marriage for her. You might feel like "pf, marriage, great, selling her off" but this is the middle ages. A woman without a good husband is unfortunately also doomed. I still believe the situation might have been a great misunderstanding and kids just perceive things we would perceive as normal siblings' rivalry as extreme bullying and now that she is an adult maybe she will see things differently. But who knows, I might be wrong. We are only 10-15 chapters in.
I am not trying to make you change your opinion but the double standard things rubbed me wrong. If this was the story told from a perspective of 3 boys, rightful heirs, whose sister died and suddenly a suspicious came in seemingly manipulating their parents' affection, I don't think anybody in the comments would have been kind to Hari.
Either way, if you've read till here, thank you for hearing me out and have a lovely day! I love me a debate on webtoons ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Don't worry, the person you're replying you to has a hate boner for the brothers. They've been replying negatively to comments that talk positively about the brothers. Talking sense into them won't work cuz obviously they just want a circle jerk.
Yikes! Thank you for telling me! I was looking forward to having the subtly obvious hate of men explained, alas, my wish won't be fulfilled
It's so sad when you think about it. In the original timeline - everyone was a victim and was hurting so much. The parents lost their baby girl, the boys felt like they lost their parents to Hari even though Hari never felt like she belonged. The adults though should have handled the situation much better right from the beginning. While it would have been impossible to feel like a real family, at least they wouldn't all feel abandoned. I don't want to comment on the story, since I've read the raws and don't remember what belonged where (admittedly it was only up till chap15), but it is not hard at all to understand the story from the boys' perspective as well and not dislike them for bullying her （/TДT)/
