This was a wild ride. Idk how they managed to be so insanely toxic and problematic and then bounce back to being really wholesome. Eunho especially was such an interesting character because he went through such distinct arcs. Like, he seemed very princely and mature, then he showed his darker side but still seemed mature, but by the end he was really sensitive and needed comforting yet none of those transitions felt forced or unnatural. It was just revealing more about him.

I honestly liked Hansol and Woobin, even with any bullshit they were cute and sweet. I really want them to find out Eunho and Rakhyun are dating lol

Anyways, as much as I enjoyed it, sheesh there was too much lighthearted sexual assault. I'd be feeling bad for Rakhyun but then remember he repeatedly tried to rape Hansol. But then, I lost any respect for Eunho when he did exactly that, too??? I really had to jump through a lot of hoops and shit to not write this off. It wasn't sexy. There's nothing hot about someone crying and saying "it hurts, please stop" like wtf, that's horrific, actually. They still could have shown them as being fucked up characters who are toxic and dominant without resorting to such horrible shit.

Setting that aside, though, like I said, Eunho was an interesting character. His story with his mom leaving was genuinely really sad especially when you realize she might have fully intended to come back if she hadn't died :( and the whole story with his ex is just so... Hearing "if you want to be loved, then never love anyone" is such a horrible thing to say. To imply that his love is at fault for driving people away when at that point he'd never done anything horrible??? That's cruel and I can really understand the way his insecurities developed. Pushing someone away on your own terms hurts less than getting abandoned, but it doesn't make you happy nor does it make you right.

I think it's honestly weird that Eunho would be so forceful with Rakhyun, because Eunho said to Hansol that he had no interest chasing someone who has no desire to be with him. So why would that then be followed by him sexually assaulting someone???

So yeah, I'm very conflicted because I like where their relationship ended up and think the development was very cute and sweet but then I remember they're both horrible people :/ matched each other's shittiness I suppose?
