Didn't have all the side stories so probably missing some stuff but anyway
Tldr happy ending
Plot points I remember
-mutual pining confirmed. Seoin fell during the jeju trip, Minho been in love for like 10 years
-the good luck charm is the email he wrote on Minho's cast. It's a reference to a line from a french poem that roughly translates to "the wind is rising! we must try to live" (same one the ghibli movie references btw). He followed them to the mountain to see Muyoung one last time before killing himself but seeing Seoin's resilience + the email made him reconsider.
-his mixed signals about Muyoung were intentional, he was trying to make Seoin jealous to see if he was interested at all, he doesn't really gaf about Muyoung (he's actually really cold to him). But he wasn't acting out of innate manipulative tendencies either, he was acting on love advice he got from his sports sponsor/coach/aunt who all wanted to help him with his crush lol
-Gitae tries to recreate the event from 10 years ago by sending Muyoung to seduce Minho. They go up to his room and hear Muyoung moaning and Seoin thinks the worst is about to happen but notes that he won't stop loving Minho even if it's true (!!) but they walk in and there's no Muyoung, only Minho watching Gitae and Muyoung's sex tape with a stone cold look on his face
-Gitae's wife set up hidden cameras and had tons of dirt on Gitae, she sent the files to her cousin and the club members through that fugly Christmas ball wine thing, it was supposed to be Gitae's humiliation ritual (?) to get him into the club but it didn't work, he was never gonna get in (this part kinda didn't make sense but I'm guessing it's better addressed in one of the side stories...)
-Muyoung was waiting in the room to drug Minho to sleep with him but he was actually in the uncle's room who swiftly called the police on his ass lol. He gets exposed in the media for being a drug abusing home invader.
-Muyoung's not a good person but I felt bad for him ngl, he's obviously delulu and there was a clip of Gitae choking him, cursing him out... Seoin watches it and thinks back to all the sus things Gitae said about Muyoung and feels bad for him too, our big hearted mc....
-Minho finds Seoin's dad's friend who scammed them and gives him money to give back to the family so Seoin doesn't have to worry about them anymore and can live his life freely.
-the whole thing is pretty much about people who accept themselves as they are aka Minho and those who are duplicitous and unendingly greedy, using others to get what they want aka Gitae. Gitae tries to use his social circle that's full of shallow connections to selfish people to crush Minho but Minho fights back with allies who are loyal to him because they like him as a person.
-Minho knows his obsessive love is a fault, when he falls for someone he's willing to do anything for that person so if it's a bad person like Muyoung he will do bad things. Luckily Seoin is a good person. But he puts others before himself constantly so Minho protects him from those who abuse his goodwill.
Pretty satisfying imo, I was ehhh on the thought of Minho still having feelings for Muyoung cause it didn't make sense so glad that was cleared up.
