You are so right. After reading the whole manhwa again, I realized how lacking was Tundra as an ML because he doesn't want anything more than be Viola's dog and yeah i get that he is starting to realize some of his feelings but nothing really changes. Viola only took care of him because he looked like Hajun and it's really forced every single time they meet. Now I only want for Viola to grow up independently without an ML if that doesn't happen I wish the author would make a better ML because Jeremy is obviously interested in Viola as a person and a friend and he clearly annoys her and the others due to his playful personality rather than out of a romantic true feeling.
That's pretty much it. Good day ♡.

I wish the author would stop shoving the Tundra is Hajun bullshit and focus more on the story instead. Like yeah, I get it. Viola misses Hajun so Tundra is definitely the ML but man does it feel so forced. And also.. I genuinely think that Tundra is such a lackluster ML for someone as girlboss as Viola. Like, without the Hajun-Tundra thing, he's really nothing special.
In fact, he's a total bore cuz not once has Tundra acted like a proper ML – Hell, he isn't even acting human since he wants to be Viola's dog. Neither has he made any effort to learn more about Viola or to stand on equal footing with her. He even lacks maturity and common sense to the point that Jeremy had to teach him a thing or two. In my eyes, Tundra doesn’t deserve to be the ML, at least not any time soon.
The story of this manwha is good enough that the romance feels completely unnecessary, BUT if there has to be an ML, Jeremy has better potential. While I get everyone's concern about Jeremy and Viola's age gap, I think it's weirder to pair Viola with immature people considering her real age. And at the very least Jeremy shows some common sense and is genuinely trying to get to know her. He's even the only male character who’s seen her helpless and thought about her inner feelings (correct me if I'm wrong, it’s been a while since I read this). Even if Jeremy's interest for Viola isn’t entirely pure and is fueled by fun, he's still better than Tundra, whose only ML-worthy quality is being Hajun.
