I couldnt agree more tbh
You can’t compare this to killing stalking, they are genuinely so different, even the characters are different in personality, yes the sadomachism element is here too, but it’s really hard to see how this story is going to progress, especially if they are going to catch feelings for each other or simply keep this as a cold exchange. Tbh people are free to feel uncomfortable to scenes like this and with the story’s trajectory
yeah! i didn't finish, but I read enough of killing stalking to get the gist, and I'd say there's more ambiguity and uncertainty to where pyeonghwa and incheol's relationship with each other could end up compared to that. so it's not at all farfetched to come into this expecting a different dynamic.
Im very curious about the impact the older’s job will have in their dynamic, since he’s doing this due to loyalty and pressure from a higher up. If the link is going to be broken, will he fall in miserable circumstances or will he have the strength to leave and start over with a mind of his own? I’ll definitely wait for more, they are very interesting characters and their dynamic is a complex one, I hope the author will be able to handle it well
the fact that anything at all is happening is due to incheol's job and devotion to the congresswoman, so it'd be a real shakeup to take that away from the equation.
I'm kind of obliquely hoping for/wondering about the potential for a psychosexual attachment incheol has towards her, and if a sexual relationship with pyeonghwa is/becomes the means for him to get the fucking he never knew he wanted. or something.
Some of y'all never read Killing Stalking and it shows
Was this toxic as hell? Yes. Was that a surprise? Literally nothing could have more clearly led up to this lol
