This is very interesting, I wonder what went wrong, well it can be that ego of his, he has always been arrogant so I guess its not about change really, he was always capable of that, he simply made a decision that was bad, and kept going for more, is that what the author tries to convey, he wasn't humble, he was cocky, relying on his looks and never put in more effort than necessary, sigh, it's hard when I'm procrastinating by reading this lol, anyway I love Na Haesoo, I don't know why she has such a neutral appearance to others because she is so strong, handles all these jobs, still took care of Mincheol, still loved, took in all that abuse and still forgave, until it was too much so she broke down, and Taeha swooped in sigh, she's an abuse survivor, do you think she will not have one of the three responses? Fight, flight, or freeze, she froze, she is freezing her emotions because she has no safe space for them, she doesn't feel safe, everyone who went through abuse knows that once they leave and start living alone their body relaxes so they get all sorts of illnesses, it happened to me too, sadly the emotion thingy is still hard and I do let most things go, because all the energy I have is energy left to sustain myself, so what about Haesoo who works everyday so many jobs and is struggling with so much mentally about the cheater, emotionally with Taeha, physically at her different jobs, and spiritually wondering about herself what she does, do you think anyone could juggle all of these and not go crazy? Well the only way to protect her sanity is through being calm which she is doing, because she has no one she can rely on, Mincheol started beating her too, he was abusive, insulting her..etc, he used her for her money that she struggled to get he is trash who when push came to shove, he shoved her. He showed his true face now that things aren't going his way, his true horripilant self, she can't rely on Taeha cause he is very insincere and he never shares his truth, she can't feel safe, those who are nice to her are her coworkers and that's what they are fellow employees, getting paid to be there, she has no friend and that's what she needs, to first be her own friend and allow herself to cry in her own presence and make herself feel safety, try getting along with other family members, like cousins, aunts, grandma..etc even her dad maybe, maybe he changed, maybe he wasn't okay, maybe because of all the previous people who beat him he started believing that its normal, I mean the teach literally hit Mincheol with a rod, so yeah, they also lived in a village, maybe she goes back there? Finds that guy who actually cared? And make newer friends, but family first cuz they're the only ones who will be there for you even if they hate you.
OMG he's adorable kyaaaahhh now THIS is true romance!!! Literally I've read so many "romance" tagged stories and they were all way more political than romantic, just cause he holds her ones while she's focused on being a politician is seriously unromantic, it's just practical darn it! BUT THIS!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THE WAY THEIR ARMS BRUSH AGAISNT EACH OTHER KYAAAAA, THE WAY HIS EYES TURN TO A CRESCENT AS HE LOOKS AT HER ITS BEAUTIFUL, AND THEIR HAOPY SMILES IN BEING IN EACH OTHER'S PRESENCE!!! ITS SO COOL!! now this is romance!
OMG so that's how that all happened, damn, hope the Duke gets saved soon, it's nice how it's taking it slow to unfurl the truth of the world in front of them, and now she knows the truth that she was controlled not to believe, haa good. I wonder how they will free his soul, it's very interesting, we've not had a story like this where the guy is returned out of love for her, where he wishes to save her, and where in protecting her he gets cursed and transformed into the evil they must defeat, I didn't expect that m, the magical realm is also surprising and I like how it's happening especially this latest chapter, very interesting with such a beautiful artstyle, their outfits are gorgeous too, I love it~♡
This is awful, what a disgusting trash of a man, wait are there people who actually abandoned their children because of things like this? I just wonder cause I know a kid who was adopted, she had said she doesn't care to know who her biological parents are because they chose to abandon her so they must be bad people..I was young and still had hope that people were good, maybe they were ill..etc, as we became adults she went and saw them from afar, she told me they had a family and children and they were perfectly happy...I dont think I want to find out about mine either, cause I was also told they are married and I apparently have younger half siblings that I don't know of, I would..rather never know, but maybe I'm curious..haa.
Anyway, there are bad people in the world, not everyone abandons their kids for "good" reasons..well its never good for th child no matter how adults try to rationalise it, all it does is hurt
humans aren't smart sadly. Humans do stupid things, even if it seems smart at the time. the best thing to do, is learn from what stupid you have seen and heard about. To do better, try not to repeat it. and the best revenge on someone that did or said a shitty thing to you like abandoning you. Grow up stronger than them. Have a happier, healthier family than them. It does not mean you have to have children too, just means you have those you love around you that make you happy and your life shine in your own way.
You're right, truthfully I'm not the type to think about it much either, I used to think "well they had their reasons" and leave it at that, till someone who wad there told me about how their parents were the ones who adamantly refused, and they didn't even let the dad go in, they wanted to get rid of me as they probably saw this as bringing shame to them, I was told they were ready to k*ll the guy who was her boyfriend too ha, I didn't know all that and it does seem like 'drama' but damn..being so cruel to your own blood, that's really been angering me now that I know, as they say "ignorance is bliss" and a psychologist said "you should accept now that you're 18, that you were never wanted, no one wished for you to be born" so I responded with "God created me, so yes I am indeed wanted."
Haa, I didn't know humans had such hatred of orphans, and even here when I commented about how they deserve to live like normal children, I was swarmed with hate and dislikes, people saying its a waste of money, that the caregivers should focus on their "real" families instead of orphans, and I can't count the number of time my own adoptive family who I always thought of as real family, have told me that I'm not their sister, their daughter, and how a cousin legit smirked once she learned I was adopted, like she had something on me? Like suddenly now she feels her life is worth more than mine and she got all arrogant with me, damn. So yeah definitely agree with your point, people are stupid and now I understand why I was told not to share that ibfor because humans are harassers and abusers. I regret telling them, I feel like I made a mistake in trusting this "family"
This is showing us the differences between him and Na Haesoo, she did her best with the circumstances life gave her, she saved, worked multile jobs to pay bills..etc, while he after getting his hope crushed, he gave up, started acting recklessly, gambled and wasn't well mentally so he made stupid, impulsive choices, we can all be a bit impulsive, but when our actions can lead to consequences for those we love, most of us would think twice and more about what the next step we'll take is, not him though, he saw her as a commodity for his "big" life, he saw her as an instrument, a tool, who has to play a part in his story, where he the main character doesn't have a fellow human/main character of their own life next to him, but someone who must serve him like an extra would, so he is entitled, he wasn't raised to be spoiled, but his enabling friends and family and all the ones running after him made him believe he is the casanova, while Beom Taeha was on the opposite spectrum, a dead mom, a cold dad, an older brother trying to take his life and who bullied him when he was just a kid with his friends so no one would approach him, he had no realy friends, nothing, yet as he grew up he had many people surrounding him, he knew it was for his money so he didn't fall for it, his mind is filled with barriers protecting him, in the end they both had difficulties, Mincheol had women running after him wanting to give him their whole, wanting to be used by him so it made him prideful and arrogant, while Taeha had people trying to use him for their own benefit so it made him distant with trust issues and more wary of his surroundings. They each had their own struggles and it is interesting to see how attention from others can be either a curse or a blessing depending on how you see it, to Mincheol it's a blessing cause no matter what, his hotness will make girls be attracted to him, while to Taeha he doesn't want to be noticed due to his previous abuse so he rather stay hidden, to him attention is a curse cause all te guys noticing his beauty and wealth abused him as he was a helpless child, while Mincheol got the flowers off enablers, but of course attention is always a curse to those who know its truth, so Taeha is right, but for Mincheol who doesn't want to care for somebody else it must be a treasure, although he never cares as much for others and will forever remain arrogant due to his own incompetence and his own choices, all he gives are excuses, even now about how he got that money, instead of working hard and properly like Na Haesoo, he used her, let her take charge of him, of the household, he abused her legit hitting her, than he cheated and now he says she's the naive one even though all that is his own debt, not hers, and she spent all that time paying for him, she loves purely and honestly, her heart is golden so I understand why Taeha would want to protect someone who reminds him of his own purity of heart before all the abuse, seeing her who hasn't lost her shine even while being tired, it must be so inspiring to him, inspiring to make him wanna protect her and keep that light, nay, shine more attention and love into it so it produces even brighter light, sigh beautiful
Me like Dante lmao
