I love the realism of this story so much. The way the ml can suddenly change after something small doesnt go as he wants, how mean and toxic he can get in a split second is so realistic. The way the ml doesn’t understand his own ‘greed’ as to why just having him physically by his side is not satisfying.
And ofcourse that Inseob holds onto the nice memories as he is in love but still tries to rationalize the relationship, forgetting he is a victim.
As a person that’s extremly sympathetic and emotional, I don’t think I will ever be able to wrap my head around how some people truly don’t feel any emotions or sympathy for others. Seeing Inseob struggle to figure him out and always having mixed feelings is so relatable. As a person that always tries to understand other people it is hard to not ‘cut slack’ on those who have a difficult background (plus the fact he couldn’t leave the situation even if he wanted to bc he was literally being blackmailed).
