Though I dont think that only the men are at fault but several reasons, I agree with you that Sooahs behavior isn't just being evil but a character development because of her past and her wrong way of thinking. Therefore I'm looking forward to her development. Also I guess a friend made under such drastic circumstances are mostly the best friends possible.
Look how they judge all the girls....and then the girls internalize it and judge each other. It's not just Korea, either. The FB guy had a site to rate hotness. It was a cruel thing, a public humiliation ready to happen. And the kind of thing that creates the Mirae and Sooahs of the world--value based on looks.
Clearly, Mirae is painted as a saint as a heroine, so she's EXTRA patient, EXTRA kind, EXTRA thoughtful. And that's why she's a hero, not a villain.
some men are gross, that's not misandry it's a fact.
everyone hating on sooah is part of the problem and part of the reason thing manhwa was created. you're blaming the women in this situation when it clearly the gross males who create ideals women are expected to abide to. what sooah does is fucking shitty, her actions shouldnt be forgiven - but they are justified. shes scared of losing her place in the hierarchy and being treated just as she is treating marae, its the typical story of a bully. i personally really want to see her redemption and coming to terms with her mistakes and growing, i want to see forgiveness and women working together to combat the societies ideology. power to women!!
