I’m half-way through episode 5 of IOTNBO. One of the fascinating things about this show is how Kang-tae, the person who doesn’t have ASPD, is the one who consistently tramples on the feelings of Moon-young, the person who does have ASPD. Between the two of them, it seems to me Moon-young has been more honest about her own feelings and, despite some clumsiness, been more careful to avoid hurting Kang-tae (especially not gratuitously).
I think he has only politely refused her romantic advances? Meanwhile he has also helped her a great deal and I don’t mean that rescue from the rain kk, I’m talking about stopping her from stabbing a mental patient and trying to stop her from attacking the other guy, he wasn’t as fast there but he tried.
I think he’s done more than refuse her romantic advances though. He’s gone out of his way to hurt her in his rejections (at the hospital, for example, or after Moon-young’s tiff with Joo-ri).
I don’t mean to say he’s been totally rude or clueless towards her. They’re cute together and he’s definitely helped her a lot! My only point is that, between the two of them, he’s gone out of his way to hurt her more than she has him.

It’s more about his words than his actions. I understand, she becomes so pushy that he answers with harsh words sometimes.
