Lol yuri isn't a door mat in general. He looks at Xinlu with pity. It's more like seeing a child throwing a tantrum and hitting and breaking things because they lost something. Not to mention his personality is passive so his response to the pity he feels is just letting Xinlu vent and this only happens in the beginning when u s condition was really bad and he lost his eye
oh yeah a child will constantly put you down and beat you to the point of sending you to a literal hospital with a head injury and then shoot you with a gun in the chest while thinking it had real bullets. and wtf you talking about xinlu's mental state doesn't excuse his abuse I literally relate to him mentally-wise and yet I'd never allow myself to abuse those close to me whenever I've an episode

I wish yuri would stop being a pushover and a damn doormat even if he's obsessed with xinlu it gets tiring at some point. the constant beating, humiliating and walking all over him like that's insane
at least now that Taeui rejected xinlu for the 7372828672 times he finally seems to be a little more rational
also y’all stop fucking comparing this to passion, the two are literally whole ass different plotlines even if the characters and setting are connected. one is literally plot-driven while the other is entirely feelings and human complex-focused while both carrying different personalities and relationship subtypes.
hating on passion randomly really not gonna make it any less popular or less any less superior
