i don't hate jaekyung because he is the only interesting thing about this manhwa. yes, he is a massive jerk, but sometimes he is entertaining and i am interested in seeing how his character develops. and reading the new season, it's evident that the author is trying to show dan's life was so much better with jaekyung.
and in regards to jaekyung, i don't think he is beyond redemption when it comes to the world of BL. i think he is toxic and has a lot of issues he needs to address but he isn't like some other semes who are psychopathic/sociopathic, i can't imagine him ever hurting an animal and he showed us a different side to him when he talked to dan's grandma, defended dan in english, was actually nice when drunk etc. that is not to say the things he did to dan are okay, but clearly he has potential to be better.
i love semes who look pretty and ukes who look like they'd be your typical seme. this is one of the first works i saw that had this as a plot twist. and ofc i love pretty semes who are sly! nice to re-read.
