Usually I feel like they just throw some sort of heartbreak to justify why the ML is an douche. But here the emotional depth is well captured and the moments don't feel artificial or forced when they show them. In another show it is absolutely possible that we would have seen him go off on her and then they would have just thrown this scene in to make us be like aww but he's broken. I think in this show they struck that balance really well where it doesn't feel like they are showing us his emotional vulnerability just to whitewash him or as a cop out of actual growth!
I agree.
ML with mother syndrome is like in every other show.
But it's how the character is written and actor conveys it that makes them stand apart from the rest.
Also, so far the story is not being tampered with till now.
Let's see what Apshagun Shagun brings to the show
Watch Korean - you'll cry more for the villains than the leads 🤣🤣
