here’s my thoughts — 1. altho i was rooting for gido and mc, i think the author’s choice of making them past crushes was a good choice. Not only was it a beautiful representation of ppl being too scared to make a move and eventually moving on, it was an integral part to the mc’s development of where he believed he stood in society. Since he thought gido rejected him, i feel like that was when he began to really feel like betas and alphas/omegas couldn’t intermix. Also the super late confession was a nice touch. It was a great way to show the finality of their romantic feelings cause they now were both platonic enough that they /could/ confess to each other. their relationship was so good 2. okay so for the side couple side stories, i was disappointed that the main couple didn’t get more side stories instead. HOWRVER, i do understand why the author wanted to put them in considering how much tjey showed up in the main story and how they played a part in the plot. As much as i hate their relationship bc of it emotional and physical abuse, it was refreshing to see it portrayed as bad and toxic rather than being sugarcoated or dismissed entirely. It was a really good show of someone eventually coming to terms w the fact that their relationship was toxic and getting the courage to leave. it wad also great to see mr.lee not go back to heetae after the man begged. despite all this, i am kinda annoyed that mr.lee forgave heetae in the end, but honestly if that’s what he thought would be best, there’s not much that could be done. tbf we do see heetae improve slightly so maybe there was a character development we didn’t really see. either way it was an interesting side couple.
