some comments here are a bit weird. it's okay for characters to be complex. yes, kang mincheol is an abusive, cheating piece of trash, but he was not always this way. and that's okay. it's okay to appreciate the old kang mincheol, the author intended that to happen. the author did not "ruin" his character just for the sake of it. she showed us a ruined character first, and then delved into how he became that way. of course, that does not excuse his behaviour.
