He's not evil but can be cruel. I didn't see this as redeeming him but more giving context of what made him who he is.
There's nothing for him to redeem, he's playing his role. He could apologize but I see him as a man who knows words are wind, especially to someone like MC.
I enjoy seeing the lovestruck yet cautious side of him. Will make MC's betrayal actually have some hurt and not just celebration.

People saying he's giving green flags all the time but he didn't have enough restraint for my liking. Also doesn't help when Lou continues to talk like he's 8 years old.
Meanwhile, Shahid has been keeping his distance when he's known to be "open". And Yesing acts like a grown man with responsibilities and talents that contribute to the "plot".
It's definitely working for me.
