@TeamLeewon i get where you are coming from but like from sejin's view point i think he doesn't know how to express his emotions well because all his childhood he was never allowed to be greedy or selfish causing him to be the way he and the things you start doing from childhood till adulthood are engraved in you and are really hard to change so i don't think that this arc was useless as it shows how slowly but steadly sejin is learning how to express himself better and to figure out what he wants. This arc shows sejin's character development rather than kwon ido getting him back.

@desperate 4607 True enough. At some point I even wondered whether Sejin was capable of showing and giving love. He craved so much for love he looked like an empty vase. And he has such a peculiar way to tell what he wants. In short, what he wants is for Ido to tell him what he (Sejin) wants to hear! Furthermore, what's with all this speech about what Ido should have said and done? I won't judge but it was unexpected and out of place. You can see the contrast between both approaches. Ido's approach was entirely centered on Sejin, whereas Sejin's is centered on himself. Meaning, Sejin is not ready to give and still has a long way to go. Maybe I am wrong but the way he brushed off Ido's suffering like some child's tantrum demonstrates a total lack of warmth and empathy. Such disregard is shocking towards the man who gave him so much and gifted him with something really priceless. I truly expect further progress and that Sejin will realise and aknowledge the lengths Ido went to for him.
@desperate 4607 Sejin is on his third life. 3 lives, 3 memories, 3 different perspectives. He's had time and the opportunity to understand and process all that has happened including his own actions. This arc would have made sense if Sejin decided to leave Ido and start a new life of independence and to explore himself and his wants. I would have supported that choice. Considering that Ido was always end game the author could have done better for Sejin. He needs to speak up for himself, to share his thoughts and feelings. The first life path ended in absolute misery. He's never really expressed that to Ido. He hasn't talked about the impact or anything. Ido did the best he could to make amends (if that's even possible) and still no real feedback from Sejin. I understand where Sejin is coming from but we're on the 3rd life path. What has even learned? Has he even changed? Has he tried something different? I like him but this doesn't feel like reconciliation.
