I guess it got a high rating because it’s psychological so it wasn’t supposed to have a fluffy ending
But dang why make the red head suffer in the end too. The MC and ML are the ones with psychological problems (MC not being able to have a healthy relationship and pushing away those close due to fear, ML’s whole living in fiction thing caused by his mother) just let them have their problems keep the red head out of it and give the man some peace
Topic of manhwa was " Hwang Young's Misery" but it turned out everybody's misery . Whole manhwa miserable

Won-Il also made mistakes and that's what helps him fit into this story so well imo. He's a helpless bystander while also being the closest person to Hyunjae. He decided to put up a front to stay close to Hyunjae when Hyunjae was too insecure to accept him, digging himself into a deeper hole surrounding Hyunjae. Won-Il is self sacrificial and that is his own misery. He let Hyunjae stay with his kidnapper more than once, and repeatedly mentions that he's entirely weak to Hyunjae's will, even if it's irrational. The peak of his "role" was when he was tied up and nearly forced to wake up to two dead bodies hanging. He is deeply intertwined into their story, he's got some problems too LOL
Before starting their fwb relationship (present day), Colton and Jinwoo had slept together twice: 1. 10 years ago at the bar, which Colton forgot / 2. When Colton punished Jinwoo for SAing his employee, the omega Jinwoo was in an fwb relationship with that caused his slump (? I read this after gathering comments from the prequel).
So why does Jinwoo care that Colton doesn’t remember their 1st time sleeping together, and the whole little merman (mermaid) thought process?
The ending of the main story is that Jinwoo thinks Colton dropped him from the exhibit when Colton was planning a solo for him instead. So he destroys his works. But then Colton appears and BEFORE Colton clears up the misunderstanding about the solo exhibit, Jinwoo reveals his feelings anyway, and is happy when Colton says he wanted to be the one to cause his lowest? Hows he happy when he’s just destroyed all his works thinking Colton betrayed him by dropping his exhibit?
I think the creator is a great artist and the plot they came up with should be good but they really have problems trying to express the timelines and character’s thoughts/interactions in a way that make sense.
im genuinely confused if we’re reading the same story
