### Summary
The central conflict deepens as Gonghyun's attempts at reconciliation continue to be perceived by readers as arrogant and controlling rather than genuine atonement. Frustration mounts over his failure to offer a simple apology for the past, with his actions seen as a direct continuation of the toxic power dynamics that ruined their relationship ten years prior. This established tension is significantly disrupted by the introduction of a new character, Mr. Park, who has been met with immediate and widespread enthusiasm from the audience. Reader comments overwhelmingly champion him as a "second male lead," expressing a strong desire for him to become a romantic rival. This "second ML syndrome" stems directly from dissatisfaction with Gonghyun's lack of growth, contrasting his selfish behavior with Cheongsun's admirable resilience and self-prioritization. The arrival of a compelling new potential love interest has crystallized reader sentiment, intensifying the demand for Gonghyun to face consequences and fueling the hope that Cheongsun will find a healthier relationship.
