### Summary
Readers are eating their words and seeing red after a devastating flashback finally revealed the full extent of Taewon's sacrifice. The chapter's bombshell revelation—that Taewon secretly borrowed a massive sum from the universally despised executive, Mr. Kim, to save Yusung's family—has completely recontextualized his past cruelty, cementing his redemption. The fandom has done a collective 180, flooding the comments with apologies, fury at the injustice, and overwhelming sympathy for the characters, who they now see as "just kids" crushed by a predatory adult world. While some frustration over the original timeline's lack of communication lingers, Taewon's status as the tragic main love interest has been solidified for the vast majority.
