Byeonduck is so good at drawing expressions and Yoon Seungho's (ML) crazy eyes were shocking the first time I saw them. YSH is a violent and insatiable deviant who has set his sight on Baek Na-kyum (MC) and BNK has not had a peaceful day since. I like the pacing of the development of their relationship though, with S1 focused on building the foundation of whatever it is they have - a master-painter relationship with potential for something deeper.
I have no doubt that what BNK feels for YSH isn't love at this point but after being burned by Jung In-ho (who's a bastard in his own way), something in him broke and it was interesting to see how his attitude towards YSH changed. While YSH, well he's a walking red flag in short and his possessiveness over BNK isn't surprising but even more surprising is how he treats BNK better than his servants. They're both kind of messed up and there seems to be something brewing underneath it all so I'm curious to know how the story will unfold in the following seasons.
