I was worried Yuri would be toxic but I honestly didn't expect him to be so bad he’d become abusive. Gaslighting, manipulating, controlling where and with who Lee goes, requiring constant contact, love bombing right after his outbursts, thinking he can do no wrong, slut shaming him at any given moment and deciding that because Lee fucked around when he was horribly depressed(would be okay even if he wasn't btw), that means he has no right to create boundaries for their sex life. Honestly I'm glad that at least Yohan and Mukyung could see how bad it is and tried calling it out, because Seonwoo still seems to be in the denial phase. However, acting like they're similar is insane in my opinion, Lee obviously isn't perfect, but he's nowhere near Yuri's level and him manipulating Yuri to calm him down is clearly self-defence, and happens so often in abusive relationships. You learn to redirect and you use their moods against them all to not make it worse. I think the jokes about the location app and chasity belt also make it pretty clear, the fact that Lee didn't trust Yuri even after Yuri said he was joking. My favourite part was when Lee basically said “I’m glad Yuri has such extreme anger outbursts because my students' tantrums are nothing in comparison, so I can deal with them easily uwu!” He’s so deep in denial I’m going insane ngl. "His abuse makes me stronger" type beat
