if she was smart enough she would've broken up with her
Min could’ve let go if she was “smart enough” when the professor broke up with her. She’s the one who held on. And dares to get jealous when Yuma hangs out with someone other than her
Being smart has almost nothing to do with it. The kind of manipulative bullshit the professor is using messes with your mental and emotional state, and it can be very hard to break yourself out of the loop of that kind of abusive relationship even if you are familiar with the behavior, and Min isn't. I explained why Min doesn't and shouldn't be expected to understand just how toxic the professor's behavior is, because it is *manipulative*. None of it is obviously evil to an untrained eye, that's the point.
What about "You all are victim-blaming and you shouldn't do that because it's awful" did you not understand? Or do you just not care?
But the professor didn't stand her ground and push Min away when Min came back. She got drunk and pulled Min back in because Min misunderstood her initial attempt to break up. She's the one with the experience, she's the one with the power, the onus is on her.
For fucks sake, she even acknowledges that what she's doing is wrong at the time!
It cracks me up that the first two responses to this are THE MOST stereotypical victim-blaming comments you could imagine.
You might as well say "She was asking for it".
I agree with you. The professor is really manipulative if you realize it. The professor is older and she knows better than to be in a relationship with her student. But she does anyways. If you actually read it, you see how she attempted to break up with Min and min becomes compicted and now professor comes back messing up mins feelings again for her own selfishness.
Min is the victim because she being manipulated by the professor. So you guys can't blame Min on how awful she is. Smartness is not something an individual think about when they are manipulated by someone. Maybe it would've been better if a person thought about what to do before getting manipulated.
However. The professor should just said straight up instead of crying tears. Those tears made Min think and feel that the professor was still having lingering feelings for her. But the professors ignores her and then later comes back and cling onto her.
I dont know if anything I said makes any sense. But I always read comments after I read a manhwa or manga, and these opinions stick onto me and I realize a lot.
So I'm glad someone commented this.
I think we all should try to understand what is happening in a story, how it started, who caused it, what caused it, whats the problem, who's the bad, who's the good?
ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I understand that we don't always know these things. But maybe before we judge a character or a person, In general, not just in webtoons and mangas or manhwas, but in real life too.
If you notice, many manhwas and mangas show our reality we live in and I think it is very important and critical that we think things through thoroughly before coming too conclusion.
It's kind of harsh how we depict a character in a way and then in the end they were the victim and then people are going be like "awe, I love u, like u," towards the character.
There many things like that, that happen in society. People are judge based on what they do and look, but everyone has a backstory that brought them there. Maybe some do it for fun or intentionally. But of course, we can't tell if a person is good or not. Anyone can be good anyone can be bad. There's no way of telling until you get to know them and their story.

People go through
Trauma
Manipulation
Abusive families/relationships
And much more that we don't know. People who go through these things sometimes change. And you won't know anything unless they tell you. But people who have had things happened to them rather not talk about it to anyone because they can't trust anyone, no one's going to understand, and if the people know, how are they going to help?
I just wanted to point this out respectively. Please take no offence. I just wanted to say what I thought. Have a great day!! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
...by the number of people just casually victim-blaming Min in the comments. What part of the fact that she's trapped in an abusive relationship with a manipulative *predator* doesn't click?
Look...
- The professor is the one with power and experience, so rejecting Min was her responsibility.
- Because Min lacks experience with relationships, she fails to grasp the ways in which the professor is taking advantage of her without an outside viewpoint.
- By the circumstances of the relationship, Min cannot speak to anyone about it, preventing her from obtaining an outside viewpoint.
At worst, Min is wishy-washy, but literally all of this is the professor's fault in some way. I know it's a comic, but I sincerely hope you all don't interpret real-life abusive relationships this way. Victim-blaming is really shitty.
