The biggest reaction? The heartbreak over little Hyeon's eyes 💔. Readers were shook to see that he wasn't born with those famous "dead fish" eyes, but actually had a sparkle of light before trauma took over. It makes his current cold demeanor sting even more.
Unsurprisingly, the fury towards the stepbrother, Yoonkang, was palpable. Trying to orchestrate a murder-by-accident on a 7-year-old who had no say in his birth? Absolutely villainous and pathetic, according to the comments. Readers were quick to point out that the real blame lies with the cheating parents, not the child caught in the middle.
This chapter solidified a lot of sympathy for adult Hyeon, with many declaring themselves "Hyeon apologists." Seeing what he went through at such a young age—almost killed by his stepfamily—makes his manipulative, badass adult self totally understandable and even lovable for some 🖤. There was a slight debate about whether he was *always* a bit creepy, but the consensus leans heavily towards him being a product of his harsh environment.
A small detail that surprisingly got love? Young Hyeon saving the truck driver! Even amidst chaos, that small act of concern stood out to readers. Overall, **Traces of the Sun Chapter 45** explained *a lot* and turned heartbreak into validation for Hyeon's character.
