I so much hate the fact that everyone's problem got solved, whoever was dealing with whatever difficulties found their solution or a way to overcome it. Even chowon also got a character development and came clean with his emotions. But what about hyesung??? He had the deepest wound among them but it was all buried under a happy family and a child. They time to time remind him what he did back then and how his actions wronged others but no one is even ready to acknowledge the fact his actions were all forced by them, he never got to do things or live the way he wanted. I felt like I was suffocating in place of hyesung.
The author letting Hyesung's mom off the hook while still lowkey villainizing him makes me mad. Hyesung got pregnant when he was in heat - it wasn't his choice in the slightest. Hye-sung was well within his rights to have an abortion, but he gave birth because of Dojin's pushing. He was also within his rights to not stick around once Byul was born, as that was what they had agreed to. He did not have to carry Byul to term but chose to do so for Dojin, in agreement that he would not be responsible for the baby. Pregnancy is so hard on the body, and he sacrificed a lot to give birth to Byul. He also literally came back in a few months. It's not like he left for years, and you could very clearly tell he felt immense guilt over leaving Byul. He wasn't the best at childcare, but he was still a kid himself and did his best in that situation. Like, could you imagine? In less than a year, he found out he was omega, got pregnant through non-consensual sex, endured a pregnancy, gave birth, and dealt with all the hormones that come with being postpartum. He also grew up in a terrible environment with no parental figure, leaving him with a lot of self-image, emotional immaturity, and abandonment issues. On the flip side, Hyesung's mom abandoned him when she chose to have him and had raised him for what, like 5-7 years? While it wasn't all her fault, as she was in a terrible relationship and suffering from abuse, she still never went back for Hyseung when she could do so, despite knowing what type of situation she left him in. Also, when she did finally reach out to Hyesung, in love is an illusion, she literally treated him poorly and partially blamed him for what happened. It's just such a no-no for me. I have just seen a lot of Hyesung hate over the years, and I don't like it :( It's frustrating
