that lady isis is aria's enemy purely because of power play and not some petty romantic rivalry. its so refreshing to see isis and asher's power struggle, and even more so to see that isis doesnt give a shit about asher because the only thing she desire is control and victory for her faction. powerful and wise move right there. also her embellished black military gown in chapter 50 is ON FIRE!!

childhood friend unconsciously or consciously tried to make dohee dependant on him. he put down dohees self esteem many times (saying shes not cute, boyish, unattractive). might not have been malicious but i think we all see how that shapes up dohees confidence now.
BUT the sunbae is lowkey manipulative. i get it, he has childhood trauma and his inner child wound is still gaping. i just hope that he finds solace and deals with his inner child well

im not going to put the blame on the mother, i saw firsthand how baby blues affect mothers and their child and their relationship going forward. the father is innately uncomunicative and he brought his own paranoia and made her wife's unstable mental condition worsened. this is horrible but sadly a very common dynamic in marriages, since people often get married without the mental capacity to deal with themselves, their s/o, and the possibility of bringing a child into the marriage
i like these kind of villainness stories but lets be real the social revolution didnt sprung up from nothing lmao
