Did Taerim's older brother have incestuous feelings towards him? At the hotel Taerim asked his brother if he's going to give him an aphrodisiac again. Why would a brother do that? Also, author mentioned in the afterword that he used to sneak in to Taerim's room at night.
This situation alone is a reason why the story doesn't work as short series because it's not like Taerim and Ijeong can live happily ever after when that kind of brother is involved. He wouldn't just let Taerim slip out of his grasp. I hope, someday, when the author feels more confident in their skills, they will pick up this story again.
