Ji-an has been tragic from the very beginning—being made addicted, exploited, and controlled in so many ways. Now, the revelation that he has no real status or identity is just another blow from the author. And this might not even be the main plan of Jin and Ji-tae? What more pain await Ji-an? Will Ji-an x Happiness ever be canon, or is he just the punching bag of the story?
I like Ji-an, but I can’t completely absolve him. After all, Ji-an was the one who kidnapped Mi-eum’s father, threatened him, and pushed him toward Ji-tae in the early chapters. Even though his motives weren’t clear, those actions made Ji-tae go from having no ill feelings toward Ji-an to outright hating him…
But still, it’s not bad enough to say he doesn’t deserve a happy ending, right? T_T Ji-tae’s frustration with Ji-an is understandable, but please don’t torment Ji-an any further. He’s already suffered too much…
Out of all characters, Jian is the saddest one. Nobody really cares about him. At least Jitae still care of him as brother but not as much since they are half-siblings. Not to mention his witch mom just give him birth just to get power from Baeks. Not an ounce of care. Jin the same had some selfish love-hate relationship with Jian. And now, knowing Jian wasn't real blood-related with Jitae??? And his real dad probably some president of enemy? What could be worst for Jian???? Poor him. Atleast Mi-eum still have his father and Jitae that love him. But Jian?? Literally nobody...
