OMG! Finally someone who gets the essence of Carcel’s character. This is so rare. This is exactly why I thought the author did a marvelous job with the ML. Just wait until you see more about how he is with his younger brother, in his past lives, his responsibility as an heir and the way he protected his mother’s hurt heart even when he was just a little boy of 6 years old. He always say sorry even when he did nothing wrong. He doesn’t hold grudges at all against people who do him wrong. Like Ines said last chapter, he doesn’t care about endangering himself but cannot bear to see her hurt in any way. That’s the kind of person he is for the people he loves.
Love this
Thank you for this analysis, it made my day. You explained it so well and voiced my thoughts exactly. There are so many people bitter about Carcel, but I just consider he did the best he could and made mistakes along the way, like the human being he is. The pressure of an arranged marriage and all and the way he never hold resentment to me is just a demonstration how thoughtful he was. Thank you (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I’ve felt this for a while now, but I feel like carcel’s such a breath of fresh air in the story. All the characters are great, but since a lot of the main characters in this story are very headstrong or pessimistic, carcel’s optimism and easygoing attitude makes him very refreshing in my opinion. He can accept anything without being stubborn, egotistical, or sensitive about it.
For example, a moment that really stuck with me is carcel’s teenager years. Most people would probably focus on the cheating, but I viewed him as admirable. He was an individual who was aware they were forced into an engagement against their will, yet he eventually sucked it up, moved past that and accepted it with no ill will towards ines, even going as far as to court her back. Yes, he eventually realizes he loved her, but at that moment he didn’t know it, but still acted so easygoing which I found impressive.
It’s done very subtlety and not really emphasized on, but if you pay attention to all of their small conversations together, Ines is quite tactless in the way she addresses and talks to him, yet he always just lets it go. It’s not even like he isn’t hurt, you can see he is, but he just decides to focus on the positive. His easygoing personality that is willing to accept every criticism makes him insanely likable in my opinion and feels like a trait that makes him more of a “good” character rather than a gray one because it’s a trait that allows him to easily fix any flaw he has in literally a chapter. He doesn’t need a long character growth arc. Someone telling him he sucks and he should fix himself is enough for him to be like “okay I’ll fix that” and he actually does.
