Ive been putting off reading this for about two whole years now because of the amount of hate it gets on Tiktok. I came in thinking that this was going to have the shittiest writing ever but i am surprised at how much i liked the story.
Im not going to excuse jaekyung of his behaviour, he would be an absolute nightmare if he existed in real life. But compared to other manwhas on here he’s not as bad as i expected.
Not to say just because there are worse MLs out there that he is excused from his actions though. It’s crucial to understand that at the end of the day this is a Story, and Kim dan and Jaekyung’s choices are the main centerpoint.
To show Jaekyung’s growth, he had to have something to grow from. The author had to show his narcissistic behaviour in order to start writing his growth.
in my opinion though, i do think the redemption arc of Jaekyung is moving too fast. I havent seen enough repentance from him to make the apology satisfying. I want to see Jaekyung crying and begging for forgiveness.
