### Summary
The trend of shifting reader sentiment has intensified, solidifying the rise of the second male lead, Nam Soo. Building on his recent redemption arc where he apologized for his past as a blackmailer, audience perception has undergone a dramatic reversal. Current chapter comments are overwhelmingly positive, with readers finding him "adorable" and "cute," particularly when he blushes. This reaction marks a stark contrast to their previous disdain, with many fans acknowledging their surprise at "simping over him" now. This surge in popularity is directly fueling a strong case of "Second Male Lead Syndrome," as readers actively ship him with Soohyun and express a desire for him to "win." The preference for Nam Soo is further strengthened by a critique of the main pairing; some readers note that he and Soohyun are closer in age, which they prefer over the increasingly paternal, "dad"-like dynamic observed between Kibum and Soohyun. The shift is so profound that it has led some to question who the actual male lead is, cementing Nam Soo's successful transition from a disliked antagonist to a fan-favorite romantic contender.
