choi jeongyo deserved better

I've several complains regarding the story and the plot of this drama. Notwithstanding the obvious plot holes in the writing, we're just forced to believe that certain characters behaved a certain way in some situations since it was convenient for the plot even if it was out of character. The character that oscillated the most was pio's grandma. I couldn't figure out whether she liked him or hated him. Then we have pio's grandfather pulling a full 180 in the last episodes of the drama just so that pio could get a closure and the drama a satisfactory conclusion. One of the most frustrating part of the story is pio taking the blame of abduction just to brush his evil mom's deeds under the carpet not caring about whether jeongyo deserves justice and fairness despite being his friend. I really could see the bl potential and the chemistry before the time skip but after the narrative manipulated jeongyo to feel guilty just for wanting to seek answers and revenge for what was stolen from him I really dont like the idea. Also the power dynamics between their family backgrounds just makes it uncomfortable and unfair. Overall I hated it except for jeongyo's character, it was just disappointing how underutilized some characters were especially jaein she was a part of the main trio but she doesn't contribute anything significant to the story. Overall 6/10.
