What people think that male gaze is in the handmaiden: a man directed the film and there's 2 women explicitly having sex on screen

Why Lee Soo Hyuk and Kim Minhee broke up π ....
Lee soo hyuk side of the story:
Idk if she's older than him but I do know she was more popular and established in the industry around the time they were dating. So LSH felt like he learned everything he needed from her, like the relationship ran its course so there was no reason for him to stay
He saw her as a sort of come up, a person that could put him on to bigger and better things and she did. Once the opportunities started rolling in, he moved on and so did she
He wasn't in love with her, he liked her but there was no love. He believes they both mutually ended the relationship
Kim Minhee's side of the story:
LSH wasn't what she thought he was. She may also have known he was using her to advance his career but in a way she's was fine with that. I see that she kind if was playing captain save a hoe to LSH
She knew he was in a more rough spot than she was and she was content to help him through it in the beginning. It likely began to be too much for her, where she felt like she was giving her all and he was just receiving (I've already mentioned in other readings LSH has a problem with reciprocating love)
She also didn't see a future with him and knew he felt the same
The truth:
Kim min hee was just on a way different level than he was. She had more job opportunities, more stability, better mental health so she of course wanted that for her partner but LSH was no where near that level
LSH was suffering from mental health issues at the time and also trying to make a name for himself
Also, I see a big fight may have occurred that was the finale of the relationship
But once again I'm seeing material things and careers being put before love so it ends up not working out
