and don't tell me that this isn't relevant because they're together anyway, because it fucking is. The entirety of the manhwa was built on that conflict but the way they resolved it was so anticlimactic you can't help but feel like something's stuck in your throat because it wasn't addressed properly. The only person to apologize to Hakyung was the SIL and she wasn't even involved as much as the other two. Fuck just thinking about it pisses me off
SAME! You took the words out of my mouth! This is what’s pissing me off so much as well. AND although the mother is on their side at the end saying she doesn’t mind even if he’s dating an alien? Like ma’am why can’t you be like that from the start?! SIL was right: their family is the one to cause the despair and there seem to be no remorse nor apologies to both Hakyung and Yoonsung.
Good relationship between ML and MC. The resolution to the conflict though, is the reason I'm giving this a 3/5 stars. The father was not remorseful at all despite being the cause of the two's suffering (to the point that even though Yoonsung tried to kill himself, he still kept it a secret. don't tell me he did it to protect Yoonsung because there's no evidence that would support that).
They (father and first son) threatened Hakyung with his family from the very first day, and used them as collateral to keep Hakyung on a leash. "Your mother or your lover? you pick." as if they didn't work him to the bone while withholding his payment. "You have a younger brother, right? be careful with your actions."
And then what? after all of those, we're supposed to just forget it because the father cried from the grandfather's video and the mother shouted at them in the end? They didn't even apologize to the one they hurt the most with their action (Hakyung and Yoonsung). They protected no one but themselves and you can't convince me otherwise. Selfish bastards.
