@kyoonchuu I think the author is onto something. Because I've met guys like Jihyun, and they're super attractive. My friends and students who date these type of guys don't know they are being manipulated until the trauma has been done, and they've had to undergo therapy. (They thought all these jealous outbursts were romantic.) They've been isolated from friends, gaslit to death, until they start questioning themselves. It takes a steady self-esteem to be able to shake yourself out of that. Oh, and these guys tend to be extremely popular, so yes, even IRL people will defend them.
@Doc B Lapa (skysenshi) I accidentally read a few of your comments and it’s funny that you don’t write all this when someone in the comments defends the blond guy who obviously ignores the personal boundaries of the main character, harasses him, touches him without permission, manipulates him and guilt trips him. Although apparently if all this is done by an ugly guy, then everything is fine and his fans are not “children”, yeah? What kind of hypocrisy is this?
@Adult i'm not justifying what the blonde guy has done but the black hair guy doesn't just harrass chiwoo but also everyone around them, he also has sexually harrassed chiwoo 3 times (that we know of), is obbsessed with him, stalked him, went to his school so he can watch chiwoo, and has done many more stuff now compare that to what blonde guy did, which one do you think should be more discussed about espiecally when there are a LOT of people defending and simping for black haired guy
