In my opinion I believe that people who call kwon Ido an evil person are wrong. Ofcourse everything he has done is absolutely horrible but I don’t think he’s evil, instead I think he just did this because he felt utterly betrayed by Sejin. when we first meet him he did give off horrible vibes but we need to understand that in that corporate world he probably saw Sejin as some type of spy, as many corporate leaders learn to not trust anyone other than family. We can see this in the multiple times that sejin overhears something and Kwon asks him if he will betray him. Now until Kwon Ido learns of Sejin’s betrayal Kwon slowly warms up to him because he thinks he’s an honest and kind person and the end up falling in love with each other because they grow closer in the time they spent. Now the fall is when Kwon is betrayed, and personally I hateee when people are like this situation means nothing and that Kwon Ido shouldn’t have been mad, like bro if you got betrayed like that you would be mad. Now in the context Sejin knew that this is betrayal, he knew it was wrong, and I still believe that half of it was his fault because he still did it. But he was also pressured by family and that leaves it half not his fault because I don’t want to victim blame him but it is HIS FAULT, he had a play in that don’t be making characters you like saints and he is a saint but not in this situation. This is where Kwon Idos fear of betrayal really shines, as he completely isolates Sejin and gets his revenge in the things that happen. Now I think everything Kwon Ido does to this point is horrible and not warranted, but idk if it’s been confirmed but I don’t think Kwon wanted Sejin to be raped by his brother, I think he never even knew it happened until they eloped. Now the biggest evil Kwon Ido did was rape Sejin, I think before that (excluding the forced dick shoving) Kwons actions were somewhat fair, he isolated Sejin, didn’t talk to him, and ignored him which is horrible don’t get me wrong but I don’t believe this is evil, he is still a person and he felt utterly betrayed. Now think his “evilness” stems from his sexual abuse towards Sejin. Overall I just believe that before the rape and the sexual abuse towards Sejin, Kwon was understandable and not a “evil” person but a hurt person and I still believe that he was written REALLY REALLY well because he feels such immense guilt after what he did and him understanding Sejin. Idk if you disagree tell me why, just a reminder I am not excusing anything that Kwon did, I just believe we can’t choose sides here because both of these characters have done something wrong to each other.2025-10-12 12:57 marked
