I fucking hate the ML. He can go die for all I care. In fact, I hope he does. Mokhwa deserves so much better; love, care and cherishment. Not some psychopathic bitch with fucked up morals that revels in other people's misery.
I read dark romance stories as much as the next person but this fucker does everything knowingly and with the desire to hurt. He knows its wrong and fucked up but he doesn't care because "he lives by his own rules". For example, with Roses and Champagne - Caesar is extremely violent, neurotic, a rapist and murderer but he IS a mafioso, child soldier and completely unaware of how to show love without violence and how to treasure anyone. I'm not saying that makes his actions better than the ML in this manhwa but it's easier to stomach.
This fucker is just downright evil and corrupt. A psychopath disguised as a law enforcer. He's gross.

Dunno why everyone is shocked. The whole plot point with Eugene was unresolved and honestly, I get him but he should've targeted Luke not Erinda. I mean, yes she's an anomaly in the world but Luke is the one that turned back time that led to your grandpa's early death. That's why Luke always looked so guilty.

Well, I've never given them any "chances". It's a mafia story; not saying it's based on the truth but some irl stories of ex-mafia/gang/yakuza members are horror stories that are just much worse. Like the father who conditioned his daughter to sleep with other gang members/leaders for business relations, but somehow the bond between father and daughter is extremely tight but also messed up. Like he would kill anyone who hurt her but he also puts her in harms way and cut off her finger once.
I think for a lot of us normal people, we just can't comprehend fjckrd up stuff like this.
In Caesar and Leewon's case, honestly? Leewon has a powerful mafia father who would pull out all the arsenals to take down Caesar if Leewon just said the word. Caesar on the other hand needs a psychologist cuz he's obviously got a mental disorder of some kind. Their relationship is straight up toxic and it's not trying to be cutesy, although we all seem to forget sometimes with some light hearted/funny chapters.
It's a mafia relationship and the author is envisioning it as being the most toxic fxxed up shit ever and considering the context we can't even blame them. It's not like sa and violence is being normalized in the manhwa. It's definitely shown as being negative, but Leewon also has some kind of weird attachment/stockholm-esque love for Caesar for him to forgive him every time.
It's actually quite easy for him, a famous actor, to claim he was assaulted by a crazed person. Totally believable too.
