I know his father is abusive but i still shed a tear when they showed flashbacks to when Jinhyeong was a child... he wanted best for him in his own twisted way. He is wrong but it is probably the only way he know. That's still his child. Their relationship is complicated and the way it is written is so real.
Of course he would have swayed! That's his dad. He is the reason why Jinhyeong is so educated in so many areas and lived under a financially nice house until a certain age. That is the only safe place he knows and he hasnt been out of his comfort zone since he was a child. That's why in all parts of story he is so unsure. Because it's not like his parents starved him or beat him up or worse. They are emotionally abusive because of their own issues. If his father were to show his emotional side i think he would still be in touch with them but with personal space maybe... i honestly dont know cause this hits a little bit close to home for me lol idk
Yeah ik that Jinhyeong still loves his family in his own way and he's choosing to live independently because it's that or his mental health and he chooses to end the pain of being under their thumb even tho they gave him a privileged life so far. But he also knows he can't give in even an inch or his father will take everything and manage to separate him from Uyun, so the fact that he thinks he could have been swayed had his father not just talked about money made me kinda sad for Uyun bc it means he might have been convinced to go back? Idk
And he's still kinda in contact with them, at least with his mother and he keeps a seeing to his father's phone calls and he has some respite only bc they're waiting for a grandchild lmao so he didn't fully go no contact either
