### Summary
A significant reader realization is reshaping the narrative's core dynamics, as many now understand that the leaked sex tape involved CEO Kang Junil, not Nokyoung's manipulative ex-lover, Jang Hyunjae. This clarification has firmly shifted suspicion onto Hyunjae, who is now widely seen as the primary villain who controlled and exploited Nokyoung before orchestrating his downfall. Consequently, Kang Junil is being re-evaluated not as a perpetrator, but as a fellow victim, with readers speculating that his visit to Nokyoung in the hospital during the original timeline was an act of sympathy. Han Nokyoung's rapid personality change post-regression remains a central point of debate; while some find it jarring, many justify it as a trauma response and a genuine effort to honor his mother's sacrifice. His past cruelty is increasingly attributed to the abusive influence of Hyunjae and a toxic upbringing by his grandmother. As Nokyoung focuses on rebuilding his career and character, readers speculate that his newfound self-determination will spark a genuine interest from Junil, all while the central mystery of who leaked the tape and threw the acid continues to fuel theories.
