I feel like minyul was just a punching bag through this whole series, like mc x hyun pairing ain't bad but all the crap that happened to minyul makes me more sad and frustrated then happy with the ending. And what's with the just find someone who will love you unconditionally, he should have said you've been abused and need some healing/therapy. Like look at how the brother turned out, I'd say hes been doing pretty well for himself despite those awful parents. Mc never even tried to work on the issues, not like it's his responsibility, but he at least shouldn't be encouraging him to just find someone who is okay with his emotionally unstable behavior. No one should be okay with that. He needs to spend time healing and recovering not dating. He has some serious trauma and I feel like they downplayed that a lot with a well 'you'll find the right person eventually' line, ugh, I want my emotional investment in this story back (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
Right?! Its feels like he just likes that hyun supports him, not that hes really in love with him, besides hyun's attraction started from guilt not affection. So why wouldn't the same logic be applied to minyul? First off, if mc thought Hyun was more important than a relationship, he shouldn't have gotten in one in the first place. If you prioritize your friend over your lover then you shouldn't have a lover. I also feel like Hyun is just like mc's mom, hyun was even reporting back to her, so it's cool for you to date someone like your mom, but not minyul?

I know there is a very strong negative prejudice, i didnt mean he needed to go to a psychiatrist, I just think telling him to find someones else, is wrong, a different person isnt going to change or help his trauma even if they dont know his past. A relationship isnt supposed to be therapy, I'm irritated that the author just made it like he should find someone else and his relationship would be better. I dont like the Hyun relationship because it feels like mc likes him more because he acts like his mother and always takes care of him, not love but dependence and convenience. It seems unhealthy to me. Healing also doesnt necessarily mean counseling, he should focus on himself and stay out of relationships for a while, maybe build friendships. Idk it just seemed to downplay the seriousness of the issue presented. I also didn't see mc try to help minyul? Maybe I missed it though, it just seemed like all he did was run away without having any sort of discussion which would have been the worst thing possible for him. I'm also mad at mc for saying he would put hyun before his relationship and minyul wouldn't be okay with that, like that means there's something wrong with minyul, no one should be okay with that. They both know hyun's in love with him, that would definitely not be okay for him to prioritize him over his lover regardless of who is lover was. I think hyun and minyul deserve better and mc should have gone back into sports ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I said initially that mc is not responsible for helping yul. I have no expectations for mc to help yul, just that the stories solution is unhealthy. By saying that mc just isnt the one and someone better is out there, is undermining how bad the situation is. Yul was controlling, manipulative, suicidal, and emotionally unstable, wanting someone to put him center in his life is not the issue. His self worth and insecurities are not going to be fixed in a relationship, this isnt something a lover should be fixing. He needs to work on himself, sounded like he was suicidal for months after mc broke up with him, and is still emotionally unstable. I dont like that the author doesnt address the severity of this, he could easily end up hurting himself or his lover if he jumps into another relationship, yet its stamped with a 'I'm sure there is someone better for you out there' ending. It's amazing he didnt jump out the window after mc broke up with him, they should have called cops then. It's a very dangerous situation and could easily escalate in his next relationship.
I felt like mc spun in circles a lot, like telling him he wouldn't talk to the girl he first liked, and then yul walks in on him saying he'll be friends with her. Then hes mad that he got mad about it, and justifies his actions with, well he shouldn't be mad about something like that. Wrong, you should have talked to him in the first place and discussed why it was okay to keep talking to the girl, instead of changing your mind later, then getting upset with yul's attitude. Or like saying you were going to drop the study group, I was so confused, like how was that the conclusion you came to? This would have been an opportunity to work on your relationship but he just ignored the issue. Just like with his amnesia, he seemed to ignore/avoid things he didnt like, he didnt try to help him, just wanted to avoid anything uncomfortable so he caved several times. When he got mad was the only time he talked about the situation and confronted yul, but that was just because he was mad. That's how it looked to me anyways. My only expectation was after promising not to leave him alone, and knowing all his messed up past, he should have been more considerate when he started avoiding him and just broke up on the spur of the moment. He just seemed pretty selfish which was why he ended up with the guy who was always paying attention to him. The only reason he broke up is because he thought yul wasnt 100% in love with him, but it was partly because he looked like the mom. Locking him up or whatever didnt bother him as much as this. He wants someone obsessed with him, which is why he went back to hyun.
Going forward I dont think there was a problem with him putting hyun first, my issue was that mc put it like yul was the one with the issue for not being okay with it, he should have said sorry I have issues so I cant separate from my childhood friend, or something like that, like hey we both got issues, and I just realized this is one of mine, sorry for hurting you in the process of realizing this. He just put it back on yul though, like it was because of his posseivness that it was a problem.
Basically my issue with the story isnt about it being a happy or sad ending, or people being moral, I like dark realistic stories, but them acting like they just weren't compatible. Compatibility had nothing to do with it, they both, well actually all 3, suffered trauma and need to work on themselves, not be in unhealthy relationships. I'm worried for yul, and have no confidence in Hyun x mc relationship. After reading the story for a couple years it just seems like such a letdown. I do see where your coming from though, I'm glad some readers appreciated the ending, so everyone doesnt feel like this ( ̄∇ ̄")
yeah some people dont even the solution given by mc or mc to responsible for minyul but still he etleast give second chance . even a real person like exist they could consider minyul cause there is still feeling and why mc need to ignore him . that so mess up like he try to wait to answer but in the end its still hurt . huh i hate your choice mc but not you (/TДT)/
I wonder if it's not higher rated because it's not a 2P, it's so freakin funny though. It mocks common tropes while showing the trauma and addiction of a fu-danshi/joshi journey. Like you start seeing it in real life, if you want to or not (⊙…⊙ ) and him being an idiot makes it that much better (⌒▽⌒)
