### Summary
The emotionally volatile and toxic relationship between Yuri and his former teacher, Seonwoo (Mr. Lee), remains the central conflict, leaving the audience emotionally exhausted but captivated. Reader perception of the characters is deeply divided; while Seonwoo is seen as a pitiful figure, Yuri's aggressive and forceful advances are increasingly condemned as creepy harassment, even as some readers justify his anger over Seonwoo's fixation on the groom, Jungho. The role of Yuri's step-sister, Heeju (also referred to as Heejin), continues to be a point of contention. Despite overwhelmingly negative sentiment in the past, with many readers calling her "ugly," some now view her as a good sister. However, the "incestuous" nature of Yuri's feelings for his sister figure remains a source of discomfort for the audience. This theme of harassment is mirrored in a new development where another girl, possibly Yuri's other sister Yunju, aggressively grabs Yuri for his number. While some readers feel the narrative is becoming clearer, confusion persists regarding Yuri's past motivations and whether the story is BL or straight, with the raw portrayal of shared anger and hopelessness keeping the audience engaged in the characters' messy feelings.
