The way Su Hyeon thinks he is gaining agency and going against Jae Min and his manipulation, when in fact he is doing exactly what Jae Min wants him to do is just crazy.
Jae Min was not that scared Su Hyeon might be a rival now because he knows Da On more or less moved on and does not have any feelings for him. He is not scared Su Hyeon will ever spill the tea about the contract, because he knows it would also ruin even a 0.0001% chance of Da On staying in contact with Su Hyeon (let's be real, everyone knows Da On would not be thankful to Su Hyeon for telling him the truth, he would just cut them both out of his life - it does not really matter who suggested the contract, they both agreed to it).
Now Jae Min's problem is our puppy best boi Seong Hyeon. So what he does? He instigates Su Hyeon to do something about it, by telling him about how close they are and how blind he is about it. He kills two birds with one stone - Da On will dislike Su Hyeon even more witnessing how aggressive he is towards Seong Hyeon, while also leaving Seong Hyeon as a mean to protect him from Su Hyeon.
That leaves Da On yet again alone. And that's when good hyung Jae Min shows up to care for him and help him deal with the situation. It would be so much easier to clear the situation between them about the rejected confession and move on from it, when Jae Min is the only person left in Da On's life.
WILD π€―
He could just be a kind, supportive friend, even if that side of his personality is mere dissembly. < he CANNOT because he is a psychopath π€‘ He is not kind, he does not have much empathy. You look at his situation from a normal person perspective, but he is not normal.
The last part was literally flashback from the past.
He does not think like a normal person π For him it's easier to keep Da On in his life like they are now, while making sure he does not get close to anyone else. Not to mention - longer term relationships at some point would mean them living together, and I honestly think he knows he would not be able to fake his kind persona that much... π€£
From what I understood since kind of episode 2.
First Da On liked Jae Min. But it was just his crush and since Jae Min was this cool hyung and Jae Min never crossed the line to make Da On think he might have any feelings, it was left just as an unrequited love.
Then he met Su Hyeon in university and they started of hand out. Seeing how he understood he has no chance with Jae Min, he was able to slowly move on and started to have feelings for Su Hyeon.
Don't know if the beating up the dude happened before or after the contract, but both were the result of Jae Min seeing Da On likes Su Hyeon and trying to stop them from dating. Su Hyeon was an idiot because he did not see Da On likes him, he was sure he has feelings for Jae Min (which is not that dumb, I am sure Da On still had feelings for Jae Min at the beginning when he met Su Hyeon).
Then Su Hyeon left to US. Da On was left with just Jae Min supporting him, so naturally his feelings started to grow again. But with the rejected confession I guess he understood that no matter how much he wants Jae Min and likes him, it will never happen.
That's when we get Seong Hyeon being nice and carrying and SO loveable, Da On starts to have feelings for him.
It's not a lot tbh. The whole plot starts when Da On was in high school picking university and now working for quite some time in the company after graduation - that's years of life. Having 3 crushes is quite normal.
The way Seong Hyeon truly switches from puppy to guard dog I cannot π
Also that moment when he puts Da On behind his back more - it was not a reaction to Su Hyeon threatening Da On, it was a reaction to Su Hyeon threatening harming Seong Hyeon. I think Seong Hyeon understand Da On is willing to put up with a lot to protect people he cares for, so him pushing him more behind his back was not only to protect him, but also a way to reassure him he does not have to give in and that Seong Hyeon is willing to stand up for him. That the threats do not work on him, and they should not on Da On.
But also Da On knows with Su Hyeon it's not just empty words, and he is in fact aggressive and dangerous. He truly is scared for Seong Hyeon safety. So his priority is to separate them, even if it means letting Su Hyeon in and letting Seong Hyeon go.
The way Su Hyeon grabbed Seong Hyeon collar, but the baby boy best boy did not move an inch! π
But then Da On remembered how Su Hyeon literally almost killed someone in the past and he decided to get between them. BUT ALSO THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE!
In the past when Da On told Su Hyeon to stop, he used force to push him away, not caring if he hurts him in the process. Coz all he cared about was just his anger.
And now Seong Hyeon does not lash out, just asks Da On not to leave - not because he is "choosing" a different man, but because he is scared for his safety. For Su Hyeon his feelings are the most important, for Seong Hyeon Da On's feelings and safety are priority. If he was the one to find Da On in that situation in the past, he would not beat the dude up, he would get Da On out of that situation first to make sure he is safe.
Both Toxic Oppa and Psycho are trash, just different flavor π I actually like Jae Min as a character. I feel like they did such a good job with portraying how manipulative trash is. It's in the details of how he behaves with others. Even "in private" he makes sure he is not "blamed" for anything - like the chat with the "friend" of Da On, how she made it clear he did not ASK him to find out anything, he had to verbalize he did it on his own.
But yes, the acting was perfect, and I think it's the first time in a Chinese modern show I have seen someone actually cut ties with their awful family. Usually the "forgive" approach is the one the writers go for.
