Every time we get more details about Cheol's family, we find out some new horrible thing about them. I was rooting for the uncle until I found out he knew the entire time that Cheol was being abused and did nothing about it. I thought that maybe he didn't realize there was abuse until Cheol was outed since this incident was mentioned a few times, but nope. He knew the entire time.
I know he's easily manipulated by his brother because he feels guilty for receiving favoritism. However, that's such crap. His excuses are so flimsy. He doesn't deserve Cheol. In fact, everything the uncle said about love and blood ties seems like a curse now. Because what have blood relatives done for Cheol? Nothing. Not a single person stood up for him. Loving these people cursed Cheol.
Cheol's father also becomes more and more pathetic every chapter. It's so obvious that he sees himself as a victim. He favors his younger son because the younger son is a loser. He sees his younger son as a victim and sees himself in the younger son. It's so funny because the younger son is painfully aware that only his father sees him as worthwhile. Everyone else sees him as the loser he is. He can beat on Cheol all he wants but it doesn't make a difference because everyone else recognizes him as a waste of space.
It's ironic because the father coddled the younger son to spare him the pain of being the inferior brother, but by doing this, he gave his son an inferiority complex. Because the younger brother knows that he will never be able to compete with Cheol in the real world. The favoritism only works in their household.
And don't get me started on Cheol's mom. She is such an enabler. This entire family is so obsessed with reputation that they'll hide the abuse just so they can look good in public. It makes sense why Cheol is so easily manipulated by Minyoung. He's starved for love.
YOU SAID IT ALL!
Cheol's uncle had me in the first half, I really thought he was going to be a good guy, but nope. He's as trashy as literally everyone else in that family. A table full of people saw Cheol get attacked and not a single one did anything about it. We know this because Cheol's dad still continues to abuse him in the present day. And Cheol's uncle keeps acting surprised that his brother is still abusing Cheol.
I hate that Cheol loves his uncle so much. I hate that Cheol thinks his uncle is someone he can rely on because he's not. Cheol's uncle is as useless as any other adult in Cheol's life.
The saddest part is how much Cheol loves his family. No matter how many times they hurt him, he still loves them. Instead of hating them, he just hates himself. Cheol would never let someone he loves be treated the way he was treated.
Yes my friend and that is why I love our ml. He said at least there need to be someone like him beside cheol life bc he know that his uncle can’t even help cheol. And that is why I will always support ml with cheol. No one can accept the broken and pitiful cheol and care about him forever like ml and people who said cheol is best go with other just like people who skip and not read at all. Do they think it is easy? If it is so easy then cheol wife wouldn’t divorce him. And I know you all will say bc he won’t let go of the past, so does that mean only people who let go of their past can truly have happiness? Does it just mean that the other person can’t accept who they are. That is why our ml is the best ml for cheol (╬￣皿￣)凸
Cheol needs someone who will stand up for him. Only the ML has ever stood up for him. They need each other.
Yes my friend happy that we can both agree on this ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Yessss! Hate how much Cheol loves his family (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ Happy we all agree the ML's insanity is needed in this series cuz AT LEAST he's devoted to Cheol and thinking of him ;(
Exactly! Only Minyeong stood up for him. Even in present time MY said that now he has power to protect Cheol.
