Short answer
The main Mountain red flags are staying out of duty instead of love, showing feelings only through actions, and stubbornness about small things; their loyalty is real, but so is the immovability.
Every birthday type has red flags, including yours. The useful question is which ones are habits you can talk about and which ones wear a relationship down. Yeon wrote the list. Bom made her add the green flags.
