ML is really committed, not to dating, but predatory behaviors lol. It's apparent from the start, irl what he has done to this point can be considered assaults. I imagine if MC were to be separated with him for some months-years and gain more (healthier) relationship experiences, he would probably gradually realized he was manipulated and taken advantage of.
I'm talking about characters here, I'm not saying the story is bad, art is complex, no beautiful arts can be produces based only on morally sound materials. The fact that i found feel the ML predatory vibes from the start just mean the author done a superb job at characterizations, I could even do psychology study here lol.
Now we can only see how it unravel, will MC fall victim and chose to be happy with it, or will he be realistic and let go for healthier relationship, or well... See how ML develop with his redemption arch and be happy with each other
So i catched up with the latest chapter and hell nah, you do realize this ML is straight up manipulating MC to do what he wants, while he didn't want the bothersome stuffs dating comes with? Sure his opinion is a real issue in a relationship, but to say that while knowing that MC is catching feelings and putting up lines not to cross just so he can keep his fun? The real ones would stop and discuss properly whether they're on the same page or not, but not this guy. He didn't want anyone to "own" him but he's already pretty possessive about the MC? Wow talk about real ass here, he's smooth in ways that he take control over the naive, awkward MC so much that not even the MC realize it, yet.
This is why I said that Woori is only a plot device, he's gonna be that thorn on his side in the future that ML gonna realize he might lose MC or so jealous to the point he'll go on his redemption arch and forsake his no dating rules. I called it. MC gonna go on a path full of suffering just for this ML to be a 'decent' human
