I'm really angry with him, but at the same time I can't find fault in his actions. He doesn't even want to admit he loves Ah Zuo although he admits she's important to him. Not only that but since forever he's seen JB as something to obtain and prove his mother wrong. He's still hung up on his mom, and the trauma she caused. So much so that he doesn't even realize he's doing exactly what his father did. He's following in his father's footsteps, in both politics and his harem members. But at least his father was up front on favoring the concubine...
