Jay is still the most irritating kind of brother/friend the type that knows things but pretends he doesn’t. That fake calm attitude when everything is burning? Toxic.
But what really shocked me was fai telling Jay to decide whether Champ or cher should die first. That moment was very annoying.
Because fai isn’t just a victim anymore — she’s carrying trauma, anger, and revenge in her voice. You can feel how broken she is. And Jay being the one forced to decide? That tension was insane. And Cher… the tears, the confusion, the switching energy — messy. I was so annoyed I had to skip some scenes. I’ve never reacted like that to an episode before. But here’s the truth: The fact that it made me this angry means the writing worked. The characters are flawed. Morally gray. Frustratingly human. And the rest of the episode? Actually good. Just remember: Hate the character, not the actor. This drama will make you question everyone’s morals — and your own.
“Please remember — Ah‑jin is just a character. The actors and actresses portraying her are real human beings. You can hate the character, but don’t confuse that with hating the people playing her.”
Trauma explains some behavior but doesn’t automatically excuse all actions.
Ah‑jin clearly made conscious, manipulative choices even as a child and later as a grown-up.
People who only blame trauma miss the fact that she had agency — she acted deliberately in many situations, like framing her stepmother or lying about her mom.
“Even as a child, Ah‑jin was already manipulative — she staged a fall from the building to make her stepmother look guilty. Trauma didn’t make her do it; she chose it.”
