Jitae defense

Honestly, I’m not too invested in the main couple, but seeing people criticize Ji-tae makes me want to defend him.

First of all, the reason Ji-tae treated Mi-eum poorly in the early chapters was because he thought Mi-eum was involved in his mother’s death (due to the video he received from Jin). He was secretly seeking revenge, not simply upset about Mi-eum forgetting him. (Ji-tae decided not to mention the first reason, but reading Chapter 44 makes it clear enough). On top of that, Ji-tae knew Mi-eum had been sent by Ji-an. Despite all that, his feelings for Mi-eum eventually overcame everything. He went from wanting to toy with Mi-eum to wanting to push Mi-eum away for his safety. But when Mi-eum regained his memories and even promised to make Ji-tae happy, Ji-tae decided to change his plans. He wanted to end everything quickly so he could be with his beloved Mi-eum.

Whether Ji-tae is a bad person or not, it’s clear how precious Mi-eum is to him. The reason Ji-tae hid the truth from Mi-eum was that, after regaining his memories, Mi-eum constantly blamed himself and felt unworthy of Ji-tae. No matter how much Ji-tae expressed his love, Mi-eum kept believing Ji-tae hated him. So what other choice did Ji-tae have to keep Mi-eum by his side?

In any case, the author has already confirmed that they will have a happy ending together. If you don’t like it, you can stop reading, since this is, after all, a story centered around their love.
