I love Do-san!!! It seems to be some sort of crime to love him. I truly don't understand how people have decided to villainize his character. It's so unjustified. You don't need to assassinate his good nature just to prop up ji-pyeong. We allow ji-pyeong to have flaws and have a million reasons to empathise with him but can't seem to do the same for Do-san. Like Do-san is selfish for having two loving parents even though they too had their own issues. It's always poor Ji-pyeong this and that like he hasn't made himself a successful career and persevered. I do adore ji-pyeong. I get it. He's the type of character people are drawn to. He's imperfect, cold at times, distant handsome. He fits the bill right below 'hot bad boy'. He's has a 'damaged' soul, tragic past and there's this inate need to fix him. I get it. We love when a girl like Dal-mi can bring the best out of a guy like him. Warm his heart. I see the appeal. Im not reducing his character to a cliche btw because both love interests technically are and at the end of the day, they're portrayed so well. I would actually be fine with a ji-pyeong endgame im mostly annoyed with the way people excuse his actions and make Do-san out to be a person he isn't. He's not some manipulative 'good guy. He's genuinely a good guy. He doesn't have low self esteem because he has some sort of agenda. He just is. He's grown so much during the course of the show and I wish people would see. He and dal mi are so good together. Amazing chemistry. I feel like another me wouldn't even be team do-san. I know people are suffering from 2nd lead syndrome and I get it I do but my heart is actually with the lead here. I was confused at first but the more people undermine do-san the more I love him. He's not some dud. He's not an annoying goody two shoes. He's not boring. His heart is pure and I'll take him in a heart beat if no one else would
