. . . . . . I know he's been relatively great until now, and he truly is husband material by the end of the novel (It caught me off guard but they actually ended up together, if not basically married, and changed the genre from action to romance), but he is such a bastard until almost chapter 500.
Like u have your hopes up for him to be Kim Giryeo's knight in shining (covered in blood tho) armor for the first 100 chapters but by the end of this arc he is kind of trashy, he acts horribly and bipolar from the 100-300 chapters and somewhere there is the blue-yellow arc which is another hell in itself. If u think this is the start of the divorce arc, u r wrong, this is the start of the "situationship break-up" arc, followed by the "the toxic couple u know breaking up and coming back together again and again" arcs, and followed finally by the "atomic bomb divorce" arc.
I stopped reading the novel four times because of everything he did and how much he hurted Giryeo, and even if our alien told himself and the audience he didn't feel betrayed or hurt because of everything Kang Changho did, he totally was (at least the first times). Kim Giryeo is THE unreliable narrator.
I love him now tho, don't get confused. Even when i hated him (which was like until chapter 500 and only because Kim Giryeo was like: omg he could be my friend too like Seonwoon OwO and i accepted him as if he was my hateful son-in-law) he was always a greatly written character, and affecionally nicknamed "the wildcard" bc he totally is, even after 515.
But that is, don't expect much from him, he is awesome and by the end of the novel u can't say he is not irrevocably in love with our dear alien, but timeline-wise he is still only a prick.
