I also said it before, jihwan is SCARY AF!! Even more than many popular red flags because jihwan is weirdly unpredictable and seems even more delusional and insane.
Like for example - Jaekyung is a red flag but not scary at all. He’s (or was haha) just an asshole. Or Caesar/the guy from Codename Anastasia, they are both capable of violence and killing but they seem both quite clear headed, while jihwan is like a possessed man. Idk to me he’s one of the blackest flags out there haha
I think Sangwoo was crazier. In jihwans case, his genes and backstory, his view of love is directly connected to his actions. His obsession with mc makes sense. Why he thinks its okay to this far makes sense. I think he is deeply disturbed but there is geniue emotion in him too. Sangwoo was rxpist who kidnapped people. He didnt just punish people who 'wronged' him like jihwan. He did it for pleasure and he psychically tortured mc and again, he didnt love him at all. There were sweet moments between jihwan and mc at least but with sangwoo, every scene was terror.

Does anybody else see it??? Jihwan is crazy like Sangwoo or maybe even crazier. He hasn’t unalived anybody yet, but he basically has left people with permanent injuries intentionally, threatened, and paid people off to isolate Sooyoung. Jihwan seemed to be on track with his psychiatric medicine previously, but his obsession with Sooyoung is the catalyst to his mental health deteriorating further, no fault of Sooyoung of course! This mental illness he has is genetic as we know, coming from his father’s side of the family.
