## Chapter

### Summary
The current chapter intensifies the psychological drama, shifting focus to the antagonistic presence of Inha Baek, whose appearance elicits overwhelmingly visceral and frustrated reactions from readers. Parallel to this, a significant debate emerges regarding Yoo Jung's character. Countering previous criticisms of his manipulative tendencies, many readers now defend him, arguing he is a genuine victim of his environment—specifically parental neglect and flawed childhood analysis by a "Professor Baek"—rather than someone with a victim complex. This perspective reframes his actions as justified reactions to being constantly wronged. Amidst the turmoil caused by these complex figures, reader empathy for Hong Seol remains a powerful undercurrent, with many expressing deep frustration over her continued emotional exhaustion and wishing for her to find respite. While Inha is widely reviled, a minority of readers find her "crazy" and selfish persona to be a compelling character study, underscoring the series' strength in creating polarizing and psychologically complex individuals.
