Seo An did the right thing even if it upsets Woo Won when he finds out. If you love someone, you don’t want to see them hurt and cornered and, thankfully, Seo An can comfortably afford the resources to help him out of that situation. Piece of shit leeches like the dad don’t go away just by persevering and continuing to act as a cash cow.
If seo an’s only goal is to get rid of the dad then I agree it’s counterproductive. If seo an’s goal is to have a good relationship with woo won then I think going through his phone without permission, having him followed and doing all this behind his back is counterproductive ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ . Woo wons reluctant because they haven’t had time to build proper trust in the relationship yet and instead of trying to foster that trust by either waiting until Woo won is ready or trying to broach the subject himself and letting him know that the support is there if he needs it, seo an’s broken what ever trust was already there. From a purely consequential ethics POV seo an is doing the right thing yes, but for a relationship nah uh haha so if woo won is incredibly upset it is valid and if this whole thing blows up in seo an’s face in terms of their relationship it wouldn’t be surprising
While the dad’s attitude does cause a lot of frustration, I am happy that the author decided to depict it. While in an ideal world, parents would be more accepting like Kirishima’s mother, unfortunately the bitter truth is that not all are. In fact, Toudou’s father being so stubborn and unchanging in his ways even after 12 years really serves to add some realism to this story.
Wow it’s been a while since I’ve read a love triangle that’s so well written and fleshed out. Something about the author’s writing really evokes a bittersweet feeling at either pairing being endgame ╥﹏╥
It certainly does seem that the friend isn’t truly happy in his current marriage and has lingering feelings for MC…part of me just roots for these feelings to finally be requited and to see him and MC happily together.
Kinda disappointing to see Mugyeong be so dismissive and nonchalant about Yohan’s visible distress and insecurities. While I understand he’s not going to be his therapist, being Yohan’s partner is his choice and making your partner feel sidelined and blocking clear attempts of communication just doesn’t seem to healthy. 7 years of a relationship and we’re still here is almost pitiful.
