The long hair helped with characterization and made him look older, the new hair cut is much more “cute”. I think it’s interesting that the author chose to cut his hair at this time. People say that hair holds memories, so maybe cutting his hair was a choice by the author to symbolically show his changing mindset. Notice how towards the end mini mart said he can’t even distinguish between reality and dreams, oh so conveniently after cutting his hair (hair gone=memories gone).
Folks also brought up how it makes him look younger which again plays into the story. Mini mart was the sole care taker for his parents, he tended to the shop, he took care of the meds, etc. Much of his innocence was robbed while living in the red mansion, the place forced him to grow up quickly. Now that he’s becoming more dependent on the Male lead it could symbolize how he’s regaining a sense of “innocence” as crazy as it may be. Cheongrim takes “care”’of minimart, this is the first time in a while anyone has ever done that. Like I said, the red mansion robbed his innocence, minimart got a haircut outside the red mansion aka he was regaining it back. Do y’all see the connections? I can explain my thoughts further if this didn’t make sense

This author doesn’t care for its main characters to be “attractive” cheongrim is but then again we’re seeing the story from minimarts POV. Minimart was always portrayed as a depraved, loser, pervert with the most unhinged mindset. The author has nothing to gain by making him “cute” so the fact they did proves some level of intentional planning

I was gonna read this bc the art style was pretty and reminded me of some of my fave manwhas but I’m so glad I checked the comments cuz from what I gathered the male lead is an awful piece of shit, I’m skipping on this one. I really can’t stand awful male leads who never get repercussions for what they do.
I love how upfront the MC is about his feelings and what he is thinking, any misunderstanding he tries to correct and he’s always there to ease the mind of the ML. Unfortunately the ML can’t do the same, and causes unnecessary trouble for the MC, ugh he makes me so mad sometimes.
