In the webtoon itself, Hagi falls in love quickly but takes a while to realize his feelings.
Regarding Kang Hoon's acting (I'm a fan, by the way), his strength is micro-expressions, though that can also be a bit of a weakness(?). This is highly praised by Korean viewers, but for international audiences relying on subtitles, those micro-expressions sometimes go unnoticed.
If you want a bit example, look at the epilogue in Episode 1: when Dareum is asleep and turns toward Hagi, you can see the muscles in his cheek move.

As a fan of Kang Hoon, I watched his steady, gradual rise as he took on numerous supporting lead roles across different genres.

If Woomin continues to prove himself to the industry, I am confident he will land a lead role soon.

I hope this helps explain things a bit! 🥹
Yes, I think it happens a lot, but not happens a lot, so we can't just generalize that
And for me, who read that, I think it's a bit rude for both actors, even before the drama aired and knowing the storyline
I wonder if all CWM fans are like this every time he gets a 2nd-lead role?
I feel sorry for every of his co-stars, as if it’s their fault for playing the male lead
