it was also kind of nice to have a different ending for the side-characters though, since the bad ones usually get redeemed or find someone they can be with. this time it was different and a little refreshing! :)
I agree!
I think the biggest flaw of this webcomic is how it handled its side characters. I was half-expecting for Han Jiwook to be redeemed because of the backstory provided. He gave a horrible first impression in the beginning of the series but as the story progressed, the author wrote him as if the audience were made to feel sympathy for him. And I did. I saw him as a redeemable character, which was why it felt shallow and empty when the story had its climax where they got back at Jiwook and left him like that.
I guess I could say the same to the rest of the characters. Joohoon, Minjun, Hoon, and even the real Siwon. All had the potential. Maybe someone would say if these characters were explored further, it would have dragged the story further as well and I don't agree. Most of the side characters affected the plot heavily, especially Joohon and Jiwook so it became bland when they were handled like that.
