I don’t know why everyone feels the need for characters to be good or bad when people in general are way more nuanced than that. All these characters have a nasty side, I’m tired of ppl seeing the second ML as an angel when he was manipulating the MC to do things with him as a guise of ‘this is what friends do sometimes’ and was led by jealousy every time he did things with the MC, in the end it was a betrayal of friendship because he knew he liked the fist ML and was forcing closeness. But then after he confesses he finally steps away from his jealousy and respects the MC leading to him being a lot more mature when talking to the MC at the park which was pretty big growth for him.

Now the first ML is an ass…. Most of the time. throughout the whole thing he messes with the MC and his whole thing with having a sensitive head. But he tends to be pretty clear about wanting to have a sexual relationship with him with no strings attached. And despite all the weird misunderstandings they do end up having pretty strong feelings for each other. I hear a lot of people saying he just jumped the gun with becoming official with the MC because he was scared of the MC leaving, and honestly yeah, but he does want him as more, he just feels inadequate and scared. The whole scene where ML is talking to Yoonwoo and Yoonwoo punches him proves that he does want more with the MC but he can’t bring himself to do more because he’s scared he’ll get hurt. Also above all else he’s pretty nice to MC and encourages him a lot, like Yoonwoo is there to show the contrast of someone he feels like he has to deal with and someone he actually likes, the MC.

Idk the characters are pretty unpredictable I really like the way this was written, I feel like people are being really hard on the writing bc it’s hard to understand the characters, even though they’re so complex, the whole series centers around jealousy and how it affects people in different ways and how stepping away from it and making decisions out of it will bring real growth. Every single character with a significant plot deals with jealousy and deal with it or use it to justify their actions. It’s a nasty feeling and it makes people do awful things.

I honestly thought Yuwon was more mentally stable than Dohun, even with his hallucinations and delusions I assumed he could still tell what was real and what were hallucinations. But now with Dohun telling his side we now know it isn’t true, Yuwon lives in a whole fantasy world in where Dohun’s at ultimate fault, when in reality everything around him was wrong and it wasn’t just Yuwon who had a screw loose. This is also leading me to believe that if his mind changes what he’s going through so doesn’t seem like a victim in his own mind, what if it’s also changing when he does other things…. Like kill people. We do see him start lose his mind from stress to the point he dissociates so hard he agrees to what Dohun said about what he was going to do with the bullies, but since his mind keeps switching up who said what it might as well been him saying that and Dohun could’ve just said that he did it to ease Yuwon mind since he never cared about taking the blame. It could also show how subconsciously he feels the guilt for it and lets others mistreat him like at work because he feels like he deserves it. There’s so many things mentally wrong with both these characters but Holly I didn’t think Yuwon was THAT bad of a narrator.
