Somebody tell these authors a character doesn’t have to reach rock bottom to decide to be a better person or realize their actions were wrong… And alternatively, you CAN create an unredeemable character or a situation where what they inevitably do for their redemption does not make up for all the horrible things they actively chose to do. And when you make these situations it’s worse for the characters development if they decide to change for any reason besides realizing they suck. At this point, I’m certain whatever reasons Jaegeng decides to take better care of Dan are gonna make me feel unsatisfied with his redemption because it will be hard to believe he’s changed and isn’t just doing whatever he needs to, to get Dan to come back to Seoul and keep his arrangement
