But that doesn't explain why he wouldn't kill in self-defense if, up to that point, it never showed him feeling any remorse or regret for killing out of revenge

In this case, the "blind fans" would be the screenwriter himself, because that line was said by a character to the protagonist.

Why didn’t the protagonist kill the other players in self-defense if just a few episodes earlier he had strangled a man to death out of revenge? How can you say he’s “not that kind of person”?

It’s somewhat understandable, this slightly childish behavior, considering that Koreans see this kind of attitude as charming when they want to portray someone naive. Even more so for a 25-year-old woman who had to drop out of college and spend all that time in the hospital undergoing treatment. It’s important to understand this cultural context because she’s not American.

These ratings are really bad. Childish dramas with silly stories get high ratings, while dramas with truly good stories don’t get the rating they deserve. I would give this one a 10. I liked it because it was easy to understand, the story was good, and there was no filler (mostly because it only had 6 episodes). One lesson: try not to care too much about the ratings. People here don’t know how to rate.
