Episode 12 and 13 ruined the entire drama
I stopped watching the show after episodes 12 and 13 when the male lead chose to protect the man involved in trafficking women as sex slaves, despite the second male lead wanting to kill him. Up until that point I had been invested in the characters and the story, the show had built a strong emotional pull with sympathetic motivations, tense confrontations, and relationships that felt meaningful. But when the plot reached that turning point, it betrayed what I had come to expect from the characters, and it made the series impossible for me to continue watching
The decision by the male lead to defend someone who participates in such reprehensible crimes felt like a profound moral misstep. It wasn't just a minor lapse in judgment it was a choice that fundamentally shifted my perception of him. For much of the series the male lead had been presented as principled or at least conflicted, someone whose flaws were balanced by a clear sense of decency. Seeing him shield a trafficker undermined that foundation and left me feeling like the writers had cheapened his arc. It read less like complex character development and more like an unnecessary plot device that punished the audience's trust.
