jihwan is literally sociopathic (not surprising considering his past) but as long as he doesn’t force himself on sooyoung, i couldn’t care less. he’s actually put in the effort to get sooyoung to like him without just doing as he pleases like gyujin did. i just want them to be happy together, i hope this doesn’t have a bad ending
i enjoyed this webtoon and liked the dynamic between the main couple but the way the mc behaves… how does a s tier secret agent who is supposedly the best of the best make so many mindless mistakes throughout the story he was almost ridiculously clumsy and clueless to the point it was a bit silly. he was not smooth at all, i’m surprised the ml didn’t catch on sooner
i’ve seen some people in the comments worried about the lack of progress between jian yi and zhen xi and are thinking that they’re just a one sided couple but if you read back to the christmas special in chapter 224 (which is set in the future), it’s clear that zhen xi feels the same way about jian yi. it’s just that they’re going through the slowest of slow burns
i’ve been reading this for so long (like 6/7 years now) that i forgot that this is all meant to be a flashback and that we still have to go through a time skip to the og plot lmao
i can tell this is going to be a story where the ml is super toxic because of some childhood trauma (he implies he doesn’t have a good relationship with his family based on how they raised him), will treat the mc like a sex toy for him to use and then over time he will slowly fall for him and then start acting nice. i imagine the kid will make him soften up too and help him get over whatever trauma he has that makes him such an asshole. it’s almost too predictable. the art is really pretty but i don’t know if i can sit through this when the ml is obviously going to just force the mc to have sex with him all the time. everyone hates him now but this isn’t the first webtoon i’ve read on this site where the toxic ml is dragged in the comments at the beginning and then when he falls in love people will forgot how he behaved before because “he changed for love “
is there any need to make the ml this toxic? their conversation sounded so overly melodramatic when it was fundamentally just a matter of protecting the mc and their child from the rest of his family. he could’ve just taken the kid from the mc without marrying him and carried on living his life regardless of them being mated but he didn’t so i don’t think he’s got evil intentions.
