Distorted view of gender bender

The story is supposed to be a romance between a rich playboy and a tomboy, where he's questioning his gender identity. It doesn't work, and leads to severe gaslighting -- teaching girls that it's not OK to dress like a boy. Everyone knows she's a girl, and there are lots of open comments to that effect. He gets freaked out that he's attracted to a girl who doesn't like to wear dresses. It's creepy and bad teaching.

ML is weirdly empty, FL is good. 2ML is the strangest "nice guy" I've ever seen.

I haven't seen the original Korean.
