She was at distress/panicking in the museum. He not only brought her there, meaning they were intimate only physically, she never told him about her trauma, but also his luck of caring about her emotions. When he saw some signs he just pushed her to keep going. When she told him she has bad memories linked to the place, he was so self-absorbed that he carried on talking saying whatever he wanted to say, instead of listening to her story or at least saying he's there when she will need to talk about the traumatic experience.

I think that the worst one that shows how selfish he is and how dysfunctional their couple is happened in the last episode:

I'm curious. What do you think is the worst j*rk action Jae Eon has done to Nabi? (remember to tag it as a spoiler for those who haven't seen the eps yet, but are reading the comments for some reason)

Like I've said before I think Na Bi might have a not cured PTSD, lacks self esteem so much that she jumps on any guy giving her minimum attention (and tries to keep all of them, without saying a straight no), thinks with her vagina, instead of working harder. Jae Eon has a very wrong idea of a relationship, that keeps hurting people around and himself and also acts obsessed and manipulates girls into sleeping with him. Do Hyuk is sweet, sure, but he can be manipulative when it comes to Nabi. He does anything to conquer her, even some wrong things. Seol Ah also is obsessive and jealous. NaBi's aunt is dumb for letting a stranger in her house and believing his words just like that! He might have been Nabi's stalker she ran from to another city! (Well, he kinda is). Bit Na is probably aromantic, which is fine, but she need to be more considerate of Kyu Hyun's feelings (or even other people's ones since she enjoys the gossip even if that makes people uncomfortable/hurt). Kyu Hyun on the other hand didn't even give her a try and just broke up because she didn't meet his expectations. Seo Ji Wan needs to figure out how she feels. She's been in a comfortable zone where she can keep Sol without being open about who they are, that's not ok. At the same time Sol was angry with her, but it's her fault too for not have been open about her feelings and orientation in the first place. How are people supposed to know you might like them not just like a friend? They don't read you mind. Sure, there were signs, but it's not one sided fault. Same for the pair with glasses. JUST TALK. Jeez. It's not like you're 10 yrs olds, you're adults! Do you agree?

It's not like I simply don't care, I straight up dislike him.

Indeed all of them are, but maybe that's the point? Make us reflect on people's flaws irl?

I agree. All three of them are toxic actually. I just wish she stayed alone for a while to put her life and emotions in place.

That would be a nice message and a kind of commentary/critique of all those (now old) dramas there toxic male leads are romanticised. Hell, even now there are some people liking and defending Jae Eon!

Would be a nice ending. They need some time alone to grow.

Yeah

I agree. We need to see what feels wrong , to understand what is right for us. My only wish is that at the end the unhealthy behaviours will be somehow addressed. Maybe with a change for the better or with the price they will have to pay to give the audience a moral lesson, BUT it's not something the author is obliged to do. Yes, there are many young people in the audience who fail to see the flaws of the characters, but that's not the author's job to teach them, but their parents, school and society in general.

Can't argue with you. I feel the same way. Just wished more mature talking for the live-in couple.

I'd like to know too!

At their age the hormones are crazy. That's why both leads are so lust-driven. XD

I've seen a lot of people in the comments saying "he's ready for monogamy" and that he's poly so I guess that's the general idea about poly people, but he's really just being shallow.

Saw it in RAW and it seems interesting. Too bad the subs are not available.

No problem. Also I think that unlike Jae On he's not doing those things on purpose knowing it's manipulative. It's probably because of his luck of experience.

Nothing. That's not what I've said. LMAO

^ THIS

I'd have to rewatch to be more precise with the example, but there's what comes to mind overall: When you're pursuing someone it's a norm for guys to being gentle, doing things for them and stuff, right? But there were scenes where he crossed the line. He gave her the umbrella in the rainy day, nice gesture, but also an excuse to see her again (was used in More Than Friends too). He does everything to make her have good time, being positive, smile in his presence and while there is nothing inherently wrong with it, it can create a psychological and chemical bound when you associate the good feeling with the person. (Jae On uses more of this psychological manipulations tho, like touching the bare skin, smells, smiling a lot, gazing ect, so it's hard to beat him in that). Life is not only about feeling good tho. I think that a good partner needs to share also bad moments with you and being more open with each other about each other's flaws. He constantly over prizes her, despite knowing she lacks confidence and makes her feeling indebted to him with his attention and presents, which is another way to bond her to him. He said she was his first love in front of everyone, that pressures her into taking him in consideration, because now her friends know and will ask about him. Most importantly he lied Jae On about how she feels about him. It was never his role to say that to him. Even if they started dating, that's something that she herself needs to say.
