Most of the time it makes little to no difference to the plot. Like sure, if it’s an integral part of the story that’s introduced at beginning, i get it. But the random lore where the characters knew each other from when they were little, but both just so happen to be unable to recognize each others face / names, until some random flashback, should not happen this often. I swear, the moment i see mini versions of the main leads together i let out a major sigh. Like, here we go again. And it’s always the same shit where one character protected the other from bullies lol
it’s crazy to think that if the mc in his og timeline had just been honest with the ml about his life/backgroumd, instead of trying to appear as a rich boy with all these connections (to try and force a relationship), they could’ve actually formed a real relationship. It’s clear that the ml is started to take an interest in the mc bc 1. he’s actually doing his job lol, but mostly because 2. he understands why the mc is the way he is aka he has an abusive father and brother. And a big part of why the mc didn’t do his job right was because his dad undermined guiding work, so the mc tried hard to climb the ladder fast for his dad’s sake. But im sure if the ml knew what was going on early on in the relationship, a lot would be different in the og timeline
