I'm sorry but... what???? It didn’t “turn toxic” it’s always been toxic. I dropped the story because of that. I only came back to see what was going on since I’m nosy, but seriously…
From the very start, Tae seo has been manipulative, possessive, selfish, and controlling. But because he’s rich, people just gloss over it, framing it as him “spoiling” Yeomin instead of deliberately trying to make him dependent on him. I get that economic stability is attractive right now, but still. I can’t understand how readers just keep looking at this through rose tinted glasses.
I had just mentioned that Tae-seo raped Yeomin in chapters 23–24, and some people responded with, “I had to REREAD those chapters and you were right, he SA’d him!!” WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T NOTICE IT THE FIRST TIME????
Eh? Its been toxic from the very beginning. In early chapters ML had said that MC is easy and called him an easy lay. He always impatient and saying that MC is very chatty. He dont listen to MC and always look down on him, like when MC told him about his situation and ML just think that it doesnt matter since he is just there to dick him.

whyd it turn so toxic
