### Summary
The conflict between Noah and her ex-boyfriend, Guwon, intensifies into a mutually destructive feud. Reader commentary indicates Noah’s actions have escalated from grief to retaliation, as she is now making public scenes at his school and spreading rumors that he cheated. This has reportedly prompted Guwon to spread his own negative rumors, turning their private breakup into a toxic public battle. The audience remains sharply divided over the situation. Many readers condemn Noah’s behavior as delusional, unhinged, and stalker-like, arguing that Guwon did not physically cheat and was honest about his feelings. This faction believes her aggressive actions, including confronting his family, are an unjustified and unhealthy response. Conversely, other readers vehemently defend Noah, asserting that Guwon’s emotional infidelity and cowardice in prolonging the relationship constitute a deep betrayal that justifies her lashing out. They view her attempts to expose him as a valid response to his actions. Amid this polarizing subplot, a growing sentiment of reader fatigue is evident, with many expressing a desire to move past the Noah-Guwon drama and return to the main storyline featuring Jiyoon, Manager Kang, and Gaeul.
