I mean the ML hot but his personality is trash and it never gets better. People overlook the entire premise of him sexually harassing his employee who once he begins a sexual relationship with still treats him awfully because as I said before he’s hot. But that’s par the course in a Korean manhwa it’s just comes standard now whether it’s a BL or straight plot manhwa it’s kind of the default. I’m just reading for the mystery aspect of the secret magazine otherwise the plot is honestly pretty bad.
Supposedly the webtoon cuts out a lot from the novel, and they were much more lovey-dovey in it. But putting that aside; I personally like it. Is Zeo an ass? Yeah. But he's clearly cognizant of it; and so is Rawon. Their personalities are compatible, and their banter is enjoyable. Rawon knows his time with Zeo might just be a fling and he's being adult about it.
As for Zeo, his relationships with people outside of Rawon are mostly professional; and it seems like he otherwise treats his employs well and is good at his job. It's not like he goes around harassing everyone. He knew about Jiwon and Rawon from the beginning and is simply just compulsively blunt to Rawon and vice versa.
I think it works precisely because Rawon is the way he is. Zeo is a schemer. He's not a good guy but he's not a bad guy either. Comparatively, I think he does treat Rawon well, and despite how secretive he's being, is very serious about him.
I'm not saying to excuse the fact that he has a personality and action course that's smackable, but I think if Rawon accepts him as he is, then that's fine?
You defined their relationship so nicely and clearly. Zeo might be an ass but that’s only to Rawon. Cuz I don’t remember him harassing other employees . I guess he is kind of the dude who harassed people they like. I only think I liked about this story is their push and pull relationship and I like how they are practical about their life, goals and work
I think saying the word harassment is the key here due to its negative light for zeo....more so like he loves to trouble or cause some sort of irk in rawon so as to make him think about zeo(?) honestly while it may not be something that rawon liked at first he sure knows that it's just a personality trait that comes out for him specifically. Oh and I firmly believe that if zeo was even a bit lenient in his persuing or bluntness then rawon would have never given 2 fucks about him at all
Should I keep going cause it seems people like it but I'm around ep10 and I kinda hate the ML because I've had superiors before saying really inappropriate stuff to me and some other girls and passing it off as jokes and that exactly what the ML is doing
