Crazy how our MC is only truly honest around the ML.
Tbh it feels like.both wear a mask, moreso the MC than the ML, I think both are different from what people actually think, also I feel like the MC will learn to become more compassionate through Pyeonghwa.
In a sense they're both trying to reach something unreachable, a certain emotion.
MC probably out here thinking he'll finally feel good once he gets the position he's coveting (could be a political position or the respect of the boss lady) but I think he'll find out that he'll find peace in doing something simpler.
MC is the long term grinding type of guy while the ML is young and mostly looking for instant moments of pleasure.
I find the dynamics interesting. They're both taking blows, just in different ways, they both choose to put themselves through do much pain, one in a physical way while the other does so mentally.
Incheol tolerates the pain and sees it as necessary for his journey, pyeonghwa seeks the pain and makes it look (on the outside) like it's part of the journey when really it's the destination lol.
Anyway, love their dynamic, both interesting characters, I wonder who's gonna be the bigger hyppocrite
