awesome premise & potentially cool characters wasted

Ian's a fucking idiot. Wow. He had a way to contact "Jack" but refused. I can't stand characters like this. I mistook him for an action oriented dude but he just goes and does EVERYTHING "Jack" or that blond Cardinal says with zero attempt at intelligent self agency.
Even that last bit of saving "Jack" by jumping out of the wagon was stupid beyond belief. Even after being told his magic can do pretty unbelievable stuff like MAKING PHYSICAL OBJECTS or obscure things and so on and so forth he just keeps doing dumb shit instead of proactively training his abilities so he'd know what he's capable of.
Like, if "Jack" can change his own appearance then so can Ian, and so many things can be fixed with just being clever with his abilities. He's a disguised damsel in distress! So useless! The worst part is it's not even his fault. It's the writer's! It's so frustrating when characters have awesome potential in these dynamic premises but are written horribly so their character growths never happen. Ugh.

If you are looking for a very plot focused series where the two main couple (Ian and Soleite) slowly get together and show care for each other throughout the series then please read this lovely manhwa. Political tension between two kingdoms(?) plays a key plot role throughout the series. The art is phenomenal, the story has depth, the characters are memorable and I love their character designs.
The main protagonists (and technically the Cardinal) are linked with each because of a major reason that is revealed later in the second part of Season 1.
The part 1 of season 1 is focused more on Ian's and Soleite's meeting and their feelings developing for each other, exploring the 'curse' that Ian has and dealing with the issue of the kidnappings. But also the first arc explores the Cardinal who is more than meets the eye, where the story slowly reveals that he cares for Ian deeply because of reasons (big spoiler).
Part 2 Season 1 seems to focus heavily on how the three main protagonists are related to each other. More emphasis is given on how Ian and Soleite relationship and the reason why they are linked to each other (I like the fact that end couple is clear. It's not really a love triangle between the three).
I am only 30 chapters in but I know that it's going to be one of my favorites.
I was not a fan of the author's previous work but I find this a phenomenal upgrade and is such a great improvement. (edit: i will give the author's previous work a re-try).

I love that reincarnation is how they are related to each other between them three and why Cardinal Brixton is obsessed with Ian and has tension with Soleite
