I dislike how the plagiarism case against the myunghoon was resolved since it doesnt utilize relevant details and was rather brushed off to not only rush the manic episode of Myunghoon but then fail to properly handle Myunghoon's suicide attempt and mental state. ABLEIST is so right to the point that the Malice ARC pissed me off so much. Like, pointing out Jaegun's tunnel vision as an author fixating on the character rather than the plot is good but the same guy who supposedly graduated in creative writing and learning about ROUND characters saying human nature doesn't change is like... SIR, YOU'VE LOST THE BASICS OF CREATIVE WRITING! If the main character just dies off, there's no character development, it's flat and BORING. Plus treating Myunghoon so carelessly after mentioning that he went to therapy is just so half assed and insensitive. The guy had problems, yes, like i dont even blame sohee being harsh on him and adding on his suicide attempt but I just expected more from his brother and the AUTHOR to at least deal with his character instead of always using him like a cannon fodder with a heavy traumatic role on Jaegun and then a brief congrats in the end as if that's enough of a caveat that "oh, that guy who traumatized Jaegun and was treated like shit by his father despite the seemingly good family and normal inferiority complex but turns out he is needing medication and gets abandoned so damn easily...? Yeah, he's fine. He finally congratulated jaegun without the biting remarks". But of course, his dipshit of a dad gets a whole arc of forgiveness when that dipshit treated Myunghoon like trash then goes on committing the same crime more than once.
I seriously lost a lot of my positive feelings with how Myunghoon and his "dad" was dealt... and that's just the one emotionally charged critique i have coz there's a lot of parts I wish were better or focused on and some scraped coz they felt more like fillers.
