I do agree on some part but it's important to not forget, this is fiction, an imaginary story, do not expect to see "reality" in those stories because you will find none. Even if you put reality in those stories it's gonna be somehow boring, yes the plot is "whack", yes it's annoying and frustrating sometimes but do not expect that can not be done.
Folx expectations of characters acting like "mature adults" and acting like "real human beings" always come off as incredibly naive to me. Have you stepped outside and looked at the world lately...? Don't you have friends? Or just exist among different human groups. I wonder if you realise that if your own lives were made into a webtoon how contrived and "immature" and stupid many of your actions would seem to the reader. (I know mine would. But also he's got crazy untreated trauma and history of abuse. Of course, his decision making skills are whack.)
From a different angle, sometimes I think those kind of critiques make sense and sometimes I wonder if we don't realize how completely bonkers these plots are and the line we draw on what's "contrived" is hilarious . If Sejoon was the sensible adult human mature wisdom titan there's no way he should have allowed some random mafia dude to take over his life in the first place...and certainly *after* the reveal he shouldn't ask for *time* he should maybe plan to leave the country to escape all these obsessive psychos, one of whom takes a pledge of love to 5 year old seriously.
