when i started this manhwa, i realized i felt similar outrage before, and oh it’s the pride and prejudice dynamic. the kind of dynamic that you cannot execute without a good understanding of power. and the author gets it.
the core of it is a clash between pride (ml) whose arrogance became his downfall EVEN when he doesnt mean it and prejudice (mc) whose struggles led him to have ideals that created prejudices. mc was initially cornered, as he was helpless against so many structural injustice. ml perpetuated mc’s terrible situation because of his lack of understanding towards the power dynamic and pushed mc into a corner.
their relationship started to bloom when ml learned to lower his ego, see things from mc’s pov and discard arrogance (which often is unintended) while mc learned to see things differently by not leaning on his prejudice. his prejudices have helped him to survive, a guard as a package deal with his ideals. yet he must be able to lower them for this to work.
at its core, this dynamic can only work well with struggles against injustice, it’s essential in elizabeth bennett, and it’s essential here too.
