It doesn’t bother me that Ilay is so adamant to possess Taeui. This is the first time Ilay has felt this way and his character is set up in a way that is inhuman. He has so much power and ability that no one is realistically going to stop him from doing whatever he wants. He’s essentially a demigod and is treated by the cast as such. Of course someone on his level will take whatever he wants. Who will stop him? What consequences has he ever suffered from doing whatever he wants?

Taeui is the only person who can teach Ilay how to be human because Ilay wants something from Taeui that he can’t just take from him, his love. This is almost a ‘beauty and the beast’ type of story with Ilay being the beast. As Ilay becomes more human he will develop human vulnerabilities. This is the slowest of burns and I’m here for it. I never feel like the story is dragging, and it would realistically take a long time for someone to complete the character arch it feels like Ilay is on.
