I feel like the author tried to portray a self-destructive mc but swerved and went the safer way. In the earlier chapters, he has misconceptions and very pessimistic, he stays with a "friend" that obviously won't do him any good, tolerates abuses and harassment, he fights back but also isn't decisive enough to do something to stop it completely. And really, when he heard his sexual harasser boss got into an accident, he went out of his way to contact his family showing even more concern than the other employees? That really bugged me, I hope it really wasn't meant to portray as a good trait (seme said it was cute lol). As someone said, compassion for your enemy is cruelty to yourself.

their relationship is healthier than FYJT but the mc doesn't seem to be too bright or just too careless? lol. He forgot such an important plot point and made no preparation. It just doesn't make sense since he remembers everything when it comes to the ml but when its a dangerous situation he actually forgot..
hope he makes more contribution in his country and not just worry abt the ml

that's his reaction on mc getting rped? and now we're supposed to feel bad for him...

what did you want him to do? punch a hole in the wall? and dont say go to the police with the video…cause its not his place to do that if MC doesn’t want to be exposed/make a fuss. and yes, we are supposed to feel bad for the ML. its been set up that way since the beginning, not sure why you’re surprised.

he can start by correcting his mistakes that night. he can come clean about the video to yeonoh. tell him sungho is no longer a problem. the video too has been secured and will only see the light of day if yeonoh wishes to punish the blond actor and his rapist pal. unless he got rid of it himself? i dont think thats his place. it can also be used to get rid of the rest of sungho's men, legally, if theyre still alive. and finally, maybe jaehyuk can retract his ugly words from that night? and another apology for sexually assaulting yeonoh wouldn't hurt. is that asking too much? has these things never occured to him? well of course not. yeonoh deserves better.

you are so desensitized aren't you? if you think the only thing a person can do after shaming someone who just went through an assault is to punch a wall, you definitely lack sympathy. and yes, I am surprised with how painfully predictable manhwas are in their subtle way of undermining the mistakes of the character by telling their sob story before they even try to be responsible for their past actions and suffer the consequences.

the only good thing in the redemption arc was that he atleast knows how to run away properly, better than kiss me liar (not a good comparison but it counts), the alpha did not suffer that much just that he wasn't able to bathe for 3 days which they made a big deal of. haejin didn't seem like he'll forgive easily but he did, the fast pacing of the author is also part of it.
I'd like to suggest gold gray if you want characters that takes the situation seriously and not suddenly become a comedy manhwa
This wasn't the story I thought it would be, I feel like the mc was made to be a self-sacrificing fool instead of making her wiser. I feel like all the events leads to just her making selfless choices, without considering other ways to make her as smart as she is supposed to be. In the end, it is justified by making her the "cause" of the war. All her efforts just ended up being compensation for her forgotten mistake, which filled me with even more disappointment. Maybe its chinese author's love for drama. Or maybe I just feel scammed by the theme of lovers to enemies to lovers where I thought the mc would face her lover and all evils in an equal footing (or making it up with her wits and secret background) instead of being a tool with hidden motives.
