Nooo, my baby Yeomin just can't catch a break! Even though he escaped poverty and no longer has to struggle just to survive, now he's about to experience an even deeper kind of pain, the betrayal of the one person who saved him from that life, and also his first and only true love.
I have no idea how Taeseo is going to win Yeomin back after this. He really managed to screw up absolutely everything!
I'm genuinely obsessed with how this story is building its future drama, every chs feels like another tiny crack being added to the relationship and nobody seems to realize how bad it's gonna get.
I can totally see Taeseo hurting Yeomin way more than he ever intended and then standing there confused when Yeomin actually leaves. Bcs look at things from Yeomin's side for a second. He keeps reminding himself that they aren't dating. Taeseo was the one who drew that line. So Yeomin constantly lowers his expectations, doesn't ask for anything, doesn't demand commitment, and tries not to cling too much because he thinks that's the right thing to do.
Meanwhile Taeseo is over there acting jealous, possessive, getting involved in every problem Yeomin has, rearranging his life behind the scenes, and somehow still hasn't realized he's completely in love , this's so fun to read.
And Yeomin is such a refreshing character. He's sweet and vulnerable, but he also knows his own value. He puts up with a lot because he genuinely cares about Taeseo, not because he has no self-respect.
That's why I don't think a breakup would end with Yeomin running back after one apology.
If Yeomin reaches the point where he decides he's done, I think he'll really be DONE.
Honestly the secretary is the only person in this story who's looking at Taeseo like "sir... you're digging your own grave."
And that's why I'm so invested. The author isn't forcing drama out of nowhere. Every secret, every lie, every controlling decision is slowly stacking on top of each other.
The day everything finally blows up is going to be insane!
I already know I'm going to love the regret arc. Watching Taeseo realize what Yeomin meant to him after losing him? Watching him desperately try to earn back trust that he took for granted?
Yeah... inject that directly into my veins author nim!
If you're gonna reopen a character's deepest wound, at least have the guts to treat it like one! The tone of this scene genuinely disgusted me.
But the author went for a cruel reality and didn't bother building any real redemption around it, and we're the ones left suffering through it.
And the ending made it worse. We're not seeing a remorseful mother looking at the sky thinking 'when will I see him again?' it's just shifted back to her desire, not her son's pain.
If this was real remorse, it wouldn't be about when she gets to see him. It would be 'how do I fix what I did?' or 'what did he go through?' or 'I don't even have the right to ask anything from him anymore.'
