Same! I can't get enough of this manhwa it has so much depth
The first time I got into it i thought it'd be another borderline cringy yandere type shit manhwa but not at all holy shit. They're both really well written and both their actions make sense if you put yourself in their shoes
Great analysis btw!

Dude their whole dynamic is so nuanced and complicated, I can't get enough. I know some of yall are making comments about how ridiculous it was for Cheol to say that Minyoung hurting him was worse than anything his family did but it actually makes a lot of sense. Cheol had no intention or desire to fall in love with Minyoung.
Minyoung deliberately and constantly inserted himself into Cheol's life in more ways than one. Not only that, but he actually would stand up for Cheol, made him feel like he mattered and took him out on that date where he made that whole speech about how special their connection is. And most importantly, Cheol told him about his family's abuse. This is all deep emotional stuff and it all goes completely down the drain when he watches Minyoung out him to his father.
Now, I completely understand why Minyoung did what he did, but I feel like we need to keep in mind the type of damage that Minyoung left on Cheol. Yeah his family was physically abusive but this was a betrayal from someone he never would've expected and loved deeply. It's a serious emotional scar that I'd argue hurts more than physically abuse, especially since Minyoung never came to him afterwards and never apologized or explained, even in the present.
I still love both of my divas though, this is some of the best shit I've read in a hot minute.
