I’ll preface by saying I do not agree with the professor going so much faster that Naeun couldn’t keep up. It’s unprofessional and wrong for a teacher to outshine their student in a duet. However, Naeun already made the finals performance unfairly skewed in her favor by making that deal with youngjo to distract and disrupt Garam’s focus during finals. She made it no longer about the music, which she even admits, and before the Orpheus audition she even says again that she wished youngjo could have helped distract garam for this performance too. She doesn’t feel bad for what she did to garam, she only feels bad that her Orpheus plans have failed. As the professor said, Naeun has every resource at her disposal; highly connected family and social circles, money, all of her previous training, a personal bodyguard, etc. She will still have a musical career even without the Orpheus performance, if she chooses to. Her life and future are full of opportunities. She also behaved like a spoiled child with that tantrum afterwards and risked damaging her hand, because she didn’t control herself and manage her anger. She is rich and spoiled and it shows. I don’t feel bad for someone who was willing to continually sabotage their competition, especially when she has far more life advantages. She can’t have it all, even if that’s what she’s used to.
