Definitely a psychological read. It took me three tries at (three) different points in time to finally get past the first ch. I'm so disturbed by it. I just wait for the show to drop EVERY SINGLE FUCKING chapter!!!
The thing is TaeKyung dug his own hole. He knows the kid has psychological issues, but INSTEAD of bringing him to a COUNSELOR and MAINTAINING APPROPRIATE DISTANCE, HE HELPS in ENABLING THE ADDICTION.
Having sex with him without giving himself fully ... Like why did he EVEN DO that?!? He would NEVER introduce the kid properly but keeps hiding in and their relationship. It's TOXIC to the MAX. When ppl are hoping their relationship won't end TOXICALLY....I'm like, um, hasn't it BEEN THAT WAY FROM THE GET GO???
I totally agree. That's why I think their chemistry fits well in this psychological thriller-ish: they're both fucked up in their own way and feeding on each other's problems.
Yeah. I used to think he's reasonble.
This story deserves higher rating cuz plot is very interesting,
True as for me Haesoo character is best made by author his behaviour is unpredictable he has other issues best fitted for psychological and thriller. I love about it that .
I know a lot of you will disagree with me, but this story is heartbreaking yet quite touching. I think it's well-constructed.
Hee-seo is a classic case - albeit extreme, I admit - of abandonment issues turning into obsessive behaviour. The author made a fantastic job in depicting his thought process and the reasons why he behaves like this. Agreed, it is excessive and reeaaally toxic, but given the plot and everything, I find this character quite well-written. I find myself feeling bad for him at times, althougt I never and will never condone rape.
Taekyung is also a touching character in his own way, also displaying some obsessive behaviour towards the mum, although not channeled exactly like Hee-seo. He nevertheless allows for Hee-seo's toxic behaviour to happen, always letting himself be put in dangerous situation. He feeds Hee-seo's obsession by telling lies that Hee-seo's want to hear, always keeping him at a certain distance while indulging him in others (sex) and never pushing him away completly. He gives Hee-seo just enough so he thinks that his delusion might be real, while still making him want for more, which is the perfect combination to keep him addicted.
Yes, Hee-seo is exhibiting very problematic behaviour, but so is Taekyung. They feed each's other's toxic obsessiveness, which fits quite well with the plot of the story. Can't wait to see how this whole thing unravels. This story deserves higher rating. Hell, I've seen more toxic stories that didn't even have a plot with better ratings.
