i bet ml was lovely and adorable when he was a kid but forced to change because of the stupid ass role in their clan. i could be wrong but either way, i know ml's backstory would be cruel as a kid.
i read somewhere that people tend to dislike the story or the character if the approach was more like "real life" cases or scenarios because they wanna escape reality and wants to read fiction we're everything is easy to solve. that's why some people would like a happy ending rather than a sad one.
i love them sm. let's gooo back storyyyy
