I am through with ml, I'm almost dropping this shit bc I know mc is just gonna forgive his ass for a kiss or two. How does he even have the confidence to say smth so stupid? "I don't like you hanging out with other ppl so you gotta be mine only. Also I refuse to commit and start dating you, but like you still gotta be exclusively my partner and I get to control who you speak to ok?" GET YOUR NON COMMITED ASS OUT OF MY SIGHT

The thing that stands out in this one among other toxic manwha is that they absolutely nailed the grovel.
Ml was absolute pos for the first several chapters and I was questioning my reading choices and praying that mc would escape one day, and then ml went WAYY over the line, and it ACTUALLY woke him up to the monster he was. Most grovels are half assed and the mls improve a total of nothing%, but this time, ml noticed what he was doing, the grovel started, and it STAYED for the REST of the story. Ml never stopped groveling, he never took mc for granted again, and that's what makes me feel like the redemption arc was truly effective. He doesn't magically change into a good person, but he does realize that he did not want to perpetuate his abuse towards mc and fixed himself for him, that's better than 99% of mls out there

From the moment grey hair said he was an "ex" but still had their picture as a wallpaper, I knew he was a red flag, but bro is just complete psycho to the point of criminal activity, geez.
Now I will admit the monitoring without telling mc is pretty shit, even though it saved him, I still would've hated to have spies and GPS monitoring me without my knowledge, pretty sure that's a crime too, so ml should've been more upfront with mc and explained to him stuff from the moment he heard grey hair's name. Don't know why he kept quiet, I am hoping however that mc isn't a spineless pussy and stands his ground and we get a grovel arc. Ml is leagues better than grey hair, but is not innocent
This was so cute I shed tears
I was so upset when I thought it was a sad ending but I'm happy to see the thing geum-hoo's mother said became true and he found happiness.
Sidenotes: I'm glad to see eun-hoo got together with soon lol they were so cute with the bouquet landing on geum-hoo. I'm also surprised seun-hoo stayed chill and friendly the whole way, bro's my spirit animal, just wants peace lmaoo. I am slightly sad for seun-woo tho he deserved happiness, he didn't do anything wrong except being hung up on an ex. Also the poor son guy third wheeled the entire time, I thought we were gonna get a three way but he kinda just existed there??
Aside from that, the gisaeng arc pretty much sucked and I'm kinda sad we didn't get a grovel. Like I'm sure that if the roles were inverted there would be one, but bc the top was the one being whored out we didn't really get a proper apology :// I'm happy he at least treated him better afterwards
