Sorry for the late reply! I think I might’ve worded it wrong, but what I meant was that Sangwoo never had a redemption at the end. A lot of readers wanted Yoonbum and Sangwoo to have a happy ending, but that didn’t work out of course. It’s the same for this manhwa. Seungho might not have a redemption and might not end up with Nakyum. I feel like that outcome is more realistic, considering how these past 60+ chapters have gone.
Koogi actually made it very clear that Sangwoo and Yoonbum were a horrible couple. It showed a pattern of abuse. Painter of the night does that similarly but it feels like the creator isn't going fit the whole abuse angle. She includes SO MANY s3x scenes and it feels like it's glorifying rape to me and just trying to be dramatic but leave enough room to suddenly make Seungho a totally different person who Nakyum loves (even though their relationship is horrible!)

I don’t want to drop this, but Seungho is such an unlikable character. I was hoping to see his character develop, but it looks like we’re getting a Sangwoo 2.0...The sad thing is, I love the art style and I do support the artist on Lezhin, but I just don’t enjoy the direction the story is taking ://
