I’m not really feeling where the story’s going. Stuff happens, but none of it leads to anything meaningful. Honestly, I’m not even into the romance between the leads—I came for the revenge. I want to see Rachel setting the stage for Liz, but that payoff just isn’t coming through. The recent chapters have been kind of a drag.
Sure, Theo’s slowly realizing his feelings, and Liz is finally seeing that her sister’s been putting on a brave face for her. But they’re wasting time while Rachel does all the heavy lifting. And let’s be real—Rachel’s too soft for me. Her way of handling enemies just doesn’t hit. I wanted fire and strategy, not this low-stakes, slow pacing.

FL’s got solid support—except for that awful mother-daughter pair. But she’s way too naive… like, how do you go from a one-night stand to pregnancy and still have zero awareness?
Her dad and brother spoil her (since her mom’s gone), so no surprise she’s so sheltered. Some moments had me rolling my eyes hard. Really hoping she toughens up, grows some backbone, and cuts those two out. I’ll sit on it for now.

That’s it? The least you could’ve done was land a punch!
I’m genuinely speechless.
I honestly can’t stand either Da Jeong or the boss. I just don’t get Da Jeong’s logic—why seek closure from someone who’s hurt him over and over again?
You walked away from a man with a vile, twisted nature—someone who strangled you, manipulated you, and broke you down—and still thought, "maybe we can end things nicely?"
Be for real.
He’s not misunderstood; he’s malicious.
He’s not going to give you peace—he feeds on your pain.
Meeting him again wasn’t brave; it was walking back into the fire and expecting not to get burned.

Can someone explain this to me? I think I’m too confused to understand this toxic love. Does the boss actually like Hyeok, or was everything he did just a mind game to manipulate Da Jeong into submission?
Or is he one of those people who thinks he's so different from the rest of us, someone who's hard to love, and that’s why he did all those things to test Da Jeong's limits?

The boss wanted Hyeok. He was attracted to him but that's it. There were no real feelings there. Whatever the boss feels for Da Jeong is mixed up with manipulation and the trauma he has from childhood since his father was a predator and a fucking creep. The boss is psychological fucked up in serious way.

There might be a redemption arc for JK, but right now, he’s nothing but trash.
He doesn’t even pretend to care.
What Dr. Dan needs right now is to meet someone else – whether it's a friend or a potential lover, someone who can bring positive energy into his life.
Right now, all JK does is add more pain to Dr. Dan's already broken spirit.
Tsk. So unsatisfying.
Almost every chapter reminds us that Renatis is stronger than most men in her village, yet she doesn't know how to use that strength. She can't fight back because she's so used to being protected by Astella. I get that she's traumatized and feels helpless because of her father, but still, when she shot that arrow, it didn’t feel threatening at all. Just a weak attempt to scare him. Both Renatis and Theo are too naive. Honestly, she should’ve smacked her father with her full strength.
I’ll need to marinate on this story a bit longer.
The character growth for both the ML and FL is just too slow. Right now, neither of them seems ready to actually confront any antagonist in this story.
