TLDR: everyone should go to therapy!
recommend? if you want a mc who makes comparatively logical and rational decisions despite a shitty environment, yes! if you want healthy relationship dynamics (platonic and romantic), no.

in my opinion, this manhwa was just a combination of how codependency and possessiveness manifest together in different people. I really like how sensible the mc is in comparison to a good amount of oblivious MCs who end up letting MLs get away with bad behavior. obviously mc himself isn't perfect either but I honestly find it not too crazy considering the other characters in this manhwa. ML Jong-ho needed to grow a spine sooner and honestly, he should have distanced himself from the other ML the moment his requests started getting crazy. I honestly dont care that he regrets sexually assaulting the MC, how in the world does he have the audacity to say "ik I did that but I fell for you ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶". The moment he touched the mc without his consent and took advantage of his vulnerability post-assault by roleplaying as a hero is disgusting. the other ml is just a mess as well. his background just felt like an excuse from the author for his actions but im not falling for it for a single second. yes, he was abused and shouldn't have been abused. no, he doesn't not deserve to be forgiven for telling the other ML to sexually assault the mc and treat the MC like shit. I really like how the MC held the other ML accountable, in some way (although I think he should have pressed charges) but kept a moral ground and asked ML's father to not hit him anymore. now the brother..... he's pretty bad as well. imo, I think the author was totally thinking about going the incest route but ended up changing their mind last minute because wdym you stroked your brother's lips saying "you only need me" ???? that's BEYOND overprotective brother. im glad he got his shit together later on but locking up the MC and acting very controlling on his life was unreasonable. it's a good thing he went abroad.

this is the first time I've seen an mc in a love triangle be considerate of the two ml but its just so unfortunate that everyone keeps on stepping on him for their own needs. like I get both mcs are now regretful and wanting to prove they still love mc but if that really is the case, please just give him space. also the audacity of the brother? I've literally never seen him give a shit about mc unless it would impact his own life.
