Yeah I definitely don't like the ML as an ML. As a character and if he were the MC, I might've liked him or if this wasn't going to end in romance between him and the MC, I wouldn't have minded but seriously the prospect of them being romantically involved is so weird. I wish the ML was someone else. As I said, his character isn't bad seeing as he was raised to be the next family head and in that regard, he is fulfilling that requirement but as an ML, God, is he making me dislike him. I know non of the romantic stuff has started yet and even the MC has 0 romantic feelings for him but at least she likes him as a person and would probably worry about him but him putting her in that position where she could be taken advantage of is too much and is unforgivable. He says he had it under control but I don't believe it. Baiting your enemies with the bait being willing to participate and knowledgable of the plan is bad enough but using an unaware vulnerable drugged woman as bait crosses the line for me. I have to admit that yes, it's a good strategy if I'm being honest but for the ML to do that erases any thought of supporting him as the MC's partner
