I know guys, crazy take, but you can sympathize with Mok yeong while still aknowledging his wrong doings AND without villainizing Nanjo.
Also I don't get how anyone can make Mok yeongs inability to manage his feelings Nanjos responsibility.
Like Nanjo was finally sensible and made the mature decision in their talk where Mok yeong confessed.
I do feel really sorry for Mok yeong and relate to him as well. But just because his current condition is due to their talk that doesnt mean its Nanjos fault.
Imagine I reject a guy and as a result he gets aggresive and beats me or other people up.
Even if I couldve let him down more gently, it wouldnt make that behaviour excusable or my fault.
In that context its obvious, but as soon as he „beats himself up“ its suddenly the other persons fault??
Nanjo doesnt owe Mok yeong anything and I can still be sad for Mok yeong.
Honestly speaking, I don't even like nanjo nor mok yeong. Both are problematic and stupid in love and I think mok yeong should do something else instead of seeking validation he is never gonna get imo
Things are just happening disjointedly.
I would be confused as well If i hadnt read the novel before
