nightmare

I imagine that Eunseong's 'ulterior motives' are simply genuine guilt and love (as opposed to Kang Jaeha's abusive power and control), and he's approaching Taegun via a supportive method (guiding) rather than a coercive one (holding the purse strings), but Taegun is right: the situations are remarkably parallel. I think for resolution we should look at what Eunseong said: no one can function in this world completely independently; we need others. We all exist in a complex web of interactions with others and we're going to be connected to other people whether we like it or not--the best we can do is make sure as many of those connections as possible are bonds of mutual care and trust with people who have our best interests at heart.

... btw, is the director protecting Taegun from reliving his trauma in nightmare, or is he shielding Kang Jaeha from being publicly exposed as The Worst? Hmm, por que no los dos, I suppose. Lord save me from minor characters with fox smiles. Why do I have so many weaknesses. (≧∀≦)
