I just read the spoilers and I have to say that for that shit ending, Hawon suffered for nothing.
So, basically from what I read on the novelupdates forum: Hawon gets away from Taeha with the help of taeil (that other millionaire asshole), whom he struck a deal with. He gets raped from taeil who films it and sends it to Taeha. Taeha recaptures him and rapes him again after he tries to run away.
After some shit, Hawon posts the wikileaks to save Taeha from an ongoing investigation? At the end Hawon gets kidnapped again from Taehas father(debatable on the father info) and gets shot in the lung and thrown out of a yacht. Taeha saves him but Hawon gets into a coma.
After he wakes up, he’s left with permanent lung damage and Taeha starts treating him softer because of the fact. They get married, Hawon starts working for Taeha as his secretary.
Anyway, that’s what I read. Hope you understood everything.
Permanently disappointed if you ask me.
Both brother and sister are pieces of shit. Especially that bitch that abandoned him
Yes. I know. But he's still a good person in that he didn't abandon him. First of all, if no one had been there to take care of him, without paperwork and hospital bill, I'm sure the hospital would probably stop his life support or maybe just idono, dump him somewhere? Once he's woken up (if he ever does) he doesn't have a place to go. Without let's say social workers or whatever to take his case he'd be homeless and or penniless. His mind kept resetting each week so he can't even retain new memories. The brother is good in my book. If you can't for new memories you can't even work. After you've been comatose for awhile you need to be rehabilitated too (all your muscles have atrophied) and you'd need to learn to eat again and speak again and walk again and just any kind of movements in general. Who do you think would be there to take care of him. He was comatose for 6 months. I don't know when the sister had abandoned him but it seemed some time before he woke up. Then fast fwd to present time, it's been almost two years, one week shy, of the accident. JuYeon was willing to put up with this whole charade even though it's replayed 79 times. If he's lucky, the MC would have ended up in a mental ward somewhere. Stuck in that loop. The "rape" forced his mind to finally leave that loop. Though that itself may not be the entire stimulus but the physical act forced him out of that stupor.
I know you feel the need to excuse his actions because they didn’t hurt the protagonist in the end and because you feel that he’s not a bad person. But, objectively speaking, his actions were entirely selfish. Putting aside the rape, which in no way can be taken as a “good” action, he was serving his own purposes, namely self pleasure for one.
Considering someone as predominantly good or evil is generally subjective but trying to defend a rapist (who premeditated his crime mind you) is extremely harmful in my opinion, even in literature.
Anyway. That’s my view on the topic.
Rape is a means for a person to subdue/hurt another person. Whatever excuses he’s giving are just manipulative bs.
I'm not forgiving him, but he's not really saying excuses to me, he's saying exactly "I'm a bastard that can think only about what I wanna do because I don't always know that what I'm doing is wrong". His mental disorder prevents him from knowing what should be right or wrong. So as he said, he keeps hurting Inseob and will continue to do so because he's not dignosed, he's not seeing a therapist and he will keep doing bad things because he literally knows no better.
i hope you don't get into any relationship with a person with apd bc these are excuses. he's saying "hey i can't help i'm an asshole, i have a disorder is that so bad???" he absolutely knows better, he just doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. do not give him the benefit of the doubt, he is only explaining his disorder to gain sympathy from mc. he said he had APD not that he's stupid, he knows right from wrong.
Finally some plot. Can’t believe I said this…
