and thought "omg i'm so dumb at least my boyfriend is not selling his soul to an evil woman gotta support him and be grateful"
his mother is dying. Mia isn't just dangling the new medication over his head, she's funding his mothers' treatment entirely. we only see her refuse the new treatment because she realizes something is awry, but he is still dependent on Mia financially and this is her bargaining chip
this is not ego; he is not thinking of himself in this. it's inconsiderate at worst but it is clearly just a child's desperation for their parent to live, as well as a poor mans plight against his circumstances
and how do you even expect that conversation to go? he clearly feels backed into a corner and is being taken advantage of both sexually and financially. she pissed in his mouth to scare Jung-Woo away bro, she calls him Myung-Ha's 'little boyfriend' and gives Myung-Ha an ultimatum, demanding they break up or else she'll stop paying for his mothers chemo. he's a possession to her. no shit he didn't try to 'talk things through'
i have a problem with myungha being immersed in his sorrows and carrying burdens on his shoulders as if he's someone's hero and completely forgetting to consider the feelings of the ones around him and how impulsive jungwon tends to get when things get suffocating, see how going to a loan shark went through his mind at least 3 times since this marriage with mia thing started. i wanted to see them changing and getting better, because the way things are rn it just doesn't look like anything other than a toxic relationship. i can't get into it, they're so annoying to me +myungha is crazy, exposing your sick mother to a psychopath is he dumb i can't
