One true love per lifetime isn't real. Learn to love the people who love you. I can understand that him having attachments to Yahwi is just "the heart wants what it wants" but it's also a manifestation of mental weakness born from the experience shared with that person. If he can only open up himself to a wider perspective, then he will know that he can pursue a path that he knows he deserves.
Please don't attack me but Jooin is just so mad in love with the man who mistreated him. I'm glad he's standing up for himself after everything that had happened to him but I feel like he's only waiting for Yahwi to prove to him that he has changed...which I don't get because Yahwi treated him poorly and there's literally another man waiting for you and you can learn to love him.
I'm not outrightly hating this manhwa. I'm criticizing its theme of only having one true love which isn't true in real life at all. Moreover, its use of "redemption" in the arc of Yahwi isn't impressive at all. Normally, there has to be a balance in these situations where a character like Yahwi is put into extreme circumstances that will make him change for the better; there is the desparation and feeling of hopelessness. But all I see so far is none of those things. In the end, Jooin is still the one suffering from Yahwi and his own decisions. If you're going to write a rounded character, then you must know how to write them properly.
Also, it's like BL authors can't write a good story if they do not make one character possess all the good qualities that society adores while the other character possesses pitiable qualities. It's like they're feeding us that a good romance story can only happen if one is a knight in a shining armor while the other one is a damsel in distress.
