People don’t hate on Dojin. Yall need to stop depicting the ML as the forever victim it’s tiresome and it giving pick me behavior. The truth is : by not telling Hyesung the truth, it’s trahison. Imagine if your parent reject you, totally abandon you and years later break your heart on a meeting you didn’t even want in the first place, how would you react if your husband and your child lie to you. Stop making this trauma bonding into a Dojin problem, it’s not the center of this plot. Hyesung should have the right to cut any links with his mother without his family implying that they want him to met her because « the grandma you describing me it’s not the one I met » like duh you were not the one suffering from her actions.
Uh…no I mean they were rightfully hating on Dojin, hating as in ‘as they should’. I have made several posts about hating Dojin. I don’t think I read the last sentence or OP edited it after, I don’t remember seeing that part. And it’s not about closure as in forgiving the mother, it’s about talking and moving forward without her. I have said many times that I hope he doesn’t let her in their life. And in regards to OP’s last sentence, they are wrong and stupid.
Hyesung did move on from his trauma by focusing on his family, but is now forced to revisit it against his will because of Dojin keeping her and inadvertently paving a path for his son to form a relationship with her, when he very explicitly didn’t want her in his or his family’s life.
So no, it’s not Dojins fault that his mother abandoned him and left him with his abusive father but it’s his fault for knowingly supporting the woman that never loved him, that left Hyesung, a defenseless child in the hands of a man she knew was violent and unforgiving. Dojin forever deserves hate for what he did and what he’s doing, I meant to give you a dislike for your comment.
Thank you very much, this part. “but is now forced to revisit it against his will because of Dojin keeping her and inadvertently paving a path for his son to form a relationship with her, when he very explicitly didn’t want her in his or his family’s life.”
Some say Dojin didn’t force him (which force isn’t always physical), but the choices Dojin made by keeping the granny in some form of contact says a lot. I don’t care if he didn’t see her every day, his actions in providing an abuser a nice shelter and living expenses paid…is disgusting to say the least.
Imagine overhearing your child and husband talking about this, of course I would feel the need to go and talk, he was pushed by that.
Exactly. Nothing about this decision is made in isolation, he wouldn’t have made the decision to seek out his mother on his own if he wasn’t influenced by the pressure both Dojin and Byul are pushing on him. They both are selfishly making Hyesung confront a past he had already made peace with, regardless of what the author writes these next chapters I’m just under the belief Hyesung would’ve and should never forgive his mother for what she did. It’s sad that nobody in his life seems to respect his autonomy and decisions but especially Dojin.

It just looks like Hyesung trying to move on, why were y’all acting like they tied him up and forced him to meet up with her
Can one not try to move on from their trauma? It’s very clear that he’s just trying to get closure.
Also why are you guys STILL blaming Dojin? It wasn’t his fault that Hyesung’s mom abandoned and left him with an abusive dad
