im not saying that, they can, but they need to prove they have changed. like really really prove. and the only people forgiveness that is important and that matters and is valid is the people they have hurt. yes he regretted it- so we should just let him get away with the shit he did? and not go at him for doing terrible shit to someone else? also this 'something bad' is raping and abusing someone. they need to face punshiment for that, i mean they are both violent crimes that affect people severely. why are you even defending him or fighting for his corner? he chose to do what he did, he needs to face the consequences of it. regretting it is the first step to maybe one day getting forgiveness for your actions. but it is the first step of many.

In my opinion it doesn't matter if he has changed (even though he has done nothing to prove he has anyway) and forgiveness is more about letting yourself be happy despite the people who have wronged you. Even if he had changed he still cause so much pain and trauma no matter how much he "cared" deep down i don't believe he deserved better. I don't even hate him that much because the Mc is now in a happy health relationship.
I feel bad for Jihyun. He deserves better in some ways eventho hes really scary. And can we all appreaciate how amazing Chiwoo's mom is
