Hating Ari feels so stupid. Ari doesn't know the whole history of mincheol. She is just a ...

Yep. I can't hate her. She is victim of patriarchy.
I hope she won't go through the same path as Haesoo's. It is too cruel and i will never wish it on any woman and girl

Unlike Heasoo I think Ari has her parents as backup. If her mom could send her allowance every month with 5 million as savings she can bounce back Unless mincheol drag her in too much. It's guaranteed that he's gonna lose his job cause Taeha is the one who is keeping him

In this economy, everything is unpredictable.
Her parents could cut her off or cut her allowance off and bring her back at their house to teach her a lesson that money present grow in trees.
Even if there is no financial damage, the emotional one will be bigger and deeper

That's true however as long as she has financial backup she won't experience what heasoo went through which is brutal. But you're right the incoming trauma is gonna be worse for her

For me two things can be true. I don't hate her for not knowing their history, I hate her for being a male centered pick me that refuses to go outside of her per view. Evil Elmo never hid the fact that he's a selfish,OLD fart, hobosexual. She just refused to see him that way. She willfully chose to hate the female lead because she deemed her easier to push around than the OLD FART who's clearly taking advantage of her, comparing her to his ex, and telling her no whenever she pushes his homeless self too far. Even in the latest chapter he acknowledged she dressed up for him, but instead of thanking her, he insulted her. Rather than focus on the insult she focused on the person who isn't even privy to their conversation. Yes tons of young women get taken advantage of by disgusting old men, but not all of them are vindictive against the old man's ex who has nothing to do with anything. Especially considering main character lady never appeared in front of or talked directly to young miss

I think she spent all her savings on Evil Elmo, so she'll really be looking like a raccoon digging through garbage if her parents cut her off. Yeah, so hopefully her parents get her before it's too late, but from how the story's progressing she might become preggers fingers crossed she's not though.

*doesn't grow in trees

You're right

Ari clearly has a savior complex, she feels like the chosen one who mincheol choose, even if she doesn't know Haesoo she only know her through mincheol and from his narrative Ari choose to hate her. How many of us started hating people because other people told us they're bad guys? Ari trust mincheol and she feels this sense of superiority that she can make mincheol a better person, that she can save him. Mincheol being the shit he is, already told her that he's not a great man that he's problematic. Now how many women corrects or don't believe when men say they're a bad guy? They refuse to adhere to reality and believes in the person they imagined them to be. Mincheol has a halo effect on Ari because he is good looking and smug.

I don't get what you're trying to say...are you saying I shouldn't hate her because she has a savior complex for a guy who treats her like trash and can't truly see him for who he is? If so then I guess we agree except that doesn't excuse her being hateful towards another person who hasn't done or said anything wrong to her specifically. That girl's behavior is not normal and I don't sympathize with someone who thinks they should harm others. The fact remains she is an outsider to ex wife and Evil Elmo's relationship and it's indefensible that she sees main character lady as her enemy regardless of savior complex. It's weird to die on a hill for someone else's cause. I do not disagree she is a young woman being taken advantage of by an older man but two things can be true. Wanting to harm someone is crazy, he didn't tell her to do all of that, at some point it becomes she's taking her jealousy and frustrations out on an innocent bystander. Like in the latest chapter where she's writing her own narrative and mumbling about harming this lady she never talked to directly. This is extreme behavior
