### Summary
The recent arc concludes with the public humiliation of the obsessive copycat character, Minsoo, an event readers found deeply cathartic and satisfying. This downfall is revealed to be another masterful scheme orchestrated by Yoo Jung, who, with his friend Kyunghwan's help, exploited Minsoo's fixation on Hong Seol's brother, Joon. The incident reinforces Jung's core nature as a manipulative "puppet master," a trait that persists even within his new relationship with Seol. This has sparked a debate among readers, with some theorizing the arc serves as a parallel to make readers empathize with Jung's methods by reacting similarly when faced with a similar problem. A strong counter-argument dismisses this, suggesting the parallels only highlight Jung's potential antisocial personality disorder and that his manipulative actions are not justifiable. This core conflict in interpretation underscores the treacherous foundation of Seol and Jung's bond, where acts of "protection" are carried out through the same covert psychological warfare that once defined their antagonistic relationship.
