youre so funny. check again from where you found the point in #1 and wonder why it disappeared
huh? i literally have the article where she says that, its an italian article by wired.it
no. I know exactly where you got the interview from. and clearly you cant read because thats not what shes talking about
google it and its gone
its not lmfao, google "wired.it killing stalking" and its the first result
it is..she literally says "Koogi: "I had only one, which was to not fall into an easy romanticization of the victim/tormentor dynamic, as often happens in other works, from films to comics. Rationally I didn't realize it right away, but subconsciously this thought - "I must not fall into that mistake!" - followed me from the early stages."" and in the title she says she didnt want it to feel romantic.
yeah and can you tell me what they were asking her?
thats not what i meant
"***Killing Stalking *** is explicit, violent, and it is also honest in showing a certain type of dark feelings and impulses of the human being. Dealing with very complex and delicate themes, a superficial approach, or even just naive, would have been enough to transform it into a mediocre product. Did you have any concerns about this when you started?"
I know this is an old comment but do you have a link to the article by any chance? Or can you point me to where I can find it translated to English? Also completely agree with you. Even if the author came out and said Sangwoo was in love, he wasn't. I couldn't find a hint of love in him in my reading experience. The only reason this story gets such a bad reputation is delusional BL readers desperately trying to spin it into a love story. If a man kidnapped a woman, broke her legs, confined her, assaulted her, and kept beating her until the day he died no one would've tried to argue that he loved her because he played house with her for a bit, at least no sane person would.
Even if the author came out and said Sangwoo was in love, he wasn't.
Do you even hear yourself. You literally make zero sense
Girl, lay off. This is not the hill you want to die on. Also no. It makes perfect sense. The author might say that to appease psychotic fans but she explicitly says: "From the very beginning Sangwoo never saw Bum for him." He couldn't have possibly fallen in love with someone he sees as nothing but a proxy for another. His behaviour in the end is typical for someone with NPD. If their victim opposes them they become obsessive. I hope for your sake you're able to recognise Narcissistic Personality Disorder symptoms.
Thank you. I guess it means there's no English translation so I'll make do with machine translation
to appease fans? shes literally not doing anything like that and you just made it up. She CONFIRMS its a BL because she wanted it to be a BL. you pick and choose what you want to believe. https://imgur.com/y4Xtdge
What about this interview then? can you read the title for me? https://www.meganerd.it/koogi-intervista/
I will die on this hill because I can think for myself.
not even the same article *I* was referring to LMFAO. she still said she didn't want it to feel romantic, even if it is about "love", Yoon Bum is obviously delusional and has Stockholm syndrome.
Yeah KS explores love as a theme. The author doesn't even mention love between whom for all we know she's talking about Seungbae's love for his dad. Also no one claimed KS is not BL. BL is an umbrella term for anything with homoerotic undertones/overtones. Anything with two men fucking by a Korean author will be classified as BL for lack of any other generic classifications. Can you tell me with conviction something like Sheep's Mask is romantic because it's classified as BL? No one even said anything about BL you can't even stay on topic. You willfully ignore the article OP posted too. Girl it's not too late for you to leave your goon cave, the rape porn you goon to is eating up your brain cells.
Yeah so I was linking a new article for you to see. So Koogi says she also portrays a story of love, but you don't want to listen to that and make up an excuse "Yoon Bum is obviously delusional and has Stockholm syndrome". sure but Stockholm syndrome is something that is never even officially talked about
1. the author (Koogi) said she didn't want it romanticized in a Wired.it article.
2. it's about stockholm syndrome.
3. Koogi quite literally states the meaning of the story in the final Q&A
i dont want to go into a whole essay about why it should be removed but:
The two main characters of Killing Stalking have mental illness representation, which plays a key part in the series. Yoon Bum struggles with hypersexuality, Stockholm syndrome, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and derealization. Sangwoo is a sociopath/has Anti-Social Personality Disorder (ASPD) and a narcissist.
Moving onto the romanticization and glorification of the relationship between Sangwoo and Yoon Bum, and how the reasoning behind their relationship is foreshadowed. Sangwoo says in one of the last chapters that he should’ve killed Yoon Bum from the start and he regrets not doing so. The reason Sangwoo kept Yoon Bum alive is for sexual pleasure and the fact that Yoon Bum resembled Sangwoo’s mother, Eunseo. This is foreshadowed multiple times within the series.
