I feel so sorry for the dad. Like shit life is so unfair like it just wanted throw any kind of suffering at him. His mistakes were because he was too trusting, gullible, naive and ignorant but damn did life fuck him up
I feel for him, too. First, he loses everything because his best friend and partner took all the money and skipped the country. Then a serious medical issue develops making him unable to work. The freaking medicine is almost $900 a week, apparently there are no programs to help with medical disabilities. He couldn’t cope when the world came crashing down all at once. He made a huge mistake and at this point it seems all he wants is to know his son and be forgiven by both of them. It all just sucks.
Ah yes the “I love her so I have to let her go” phase. Don’t worry they’ll got back together

They’re not complete raws tho. They’re more like just a sneak peak of the chapter ig? They’re back together in chapter 6
Can yall stop choosing sides and blame only the male lead? Lol. Both are shallow but understandable. Biologically speaking, it’s in the male’s human nature to choose attractive females especially with good bodies as it signifies youth and fertility. As animals a man’s role is to procreate and spread their genes as much as possible. On the other hand, females need to nurture their child when they’re pregnant thus leading them to seek out males that can protect them and give them security. In ancient times, this would lead them to choose larger and more aggressive men but in the modern times security is now found through financial security.
Funny how most of you are agreeing that there’s nothing wrong with the fl choosing only rich men but then get pressed that the guy is equally as shallow and only want women with nice bodies. Lmaooo the hypocrisy
It’s like the female equivalent of a male incel who thinks they’re entitled to hot women (in this case rich handsome guys) when they have nothing to offer aside from being a “nice guy (or girl) with a good personality”
Here’s the reality check: Just like the manga’s title, “Love is Self-serving”. Most people enter relationships for their selfish desires or to boost their ego. That’s the truth and that’s just how most relationships go. So it’s only natural to bring something to the table (whether it’s money, looks, companionship, etc.) and have someone want you for what you have no matter how superficial it is.
I agree with the choosing side part, but people are not solely mad at the ml for wanting women with an attractive body but his whole attitude while dating the fl. Whilst dating he is still talking about other women's bodies and 'missing out on them' and it comes off scummy and insincere, it makes the audience question if he actually does like the fl as much as he says. On the other hand, the fl case her arc/troupe with wanting a rich man is less severe than the ml, almost all the 'gold-digging tendencies' were gone from the ml later on when they got into an official relationship. In the past, it is shown so far that the ml have been sleeping with multiple women for their bodies which obviously doesn't appear very favourable in a josei manage which is targeted towards older female readers. Also in contrast it is shown that the fl has dated a guy with a low income which makes her appear more favourable and gives off an impression she's not entirely some horrible gold digger to the core. In my opinion, both main leads are selfish and superficial but from the story so far, the fl seems to be the more redeemable character ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Ah yes I love a proactive queen
