NOO! I wanted to hear more yapping T v T (This is simply an expression that reading your comment has been veey lovely.)
It's clear the artist/author is a cinephile given the whole story is drawn like a movie and every panel could be a movie scene, the compositions are exquisite! I'm trying not to read it to let it marinate, but comments like this make it so tempting. Great analysis, and great predictions.
I wish I had your patience to just let it marinate, but I’m completely obsessed with this series. The second a new chapter drops, I sit down and analyze every single panel like it has a hundred hidden meanings
If anyone cares to go into deeeep analysis, posters in Ahn's room are from movies: punch drunk love, trainspotting, attack on the gas station, the bittersweet life, kids return and mysterious skin. I feel like the author is a massive cinephile and the posters have some kind of foreshadowing purpose of indicater of Ahn's identity. A lot of tjem are about youth, those are kinda dark themed. And bittersweet life come on, if you've watched the movie it's pretty obvious it's foreshadowing Joo's journey. Trainspotting- focus on addiction - Ahn's weird addiction of pain that's goes being kinks. Also mysterious skin... childhood trauma implication maybe? Honestly both ML and MC are likely to have some kind of trauma. But one thing that all these movies have in common is connection and i think that is the central theme of this webtoon or at least what it's heading towards. Ok done yapping
