The manwha itself does not romantisize nor glorify anything, the creator herself, says that it simply should not be shipped! But some immature children (no offense but come on, I hope no adults would commend something like this) decide that a rapist x victim would be cute. It is getting a hella cool 3D anime btw! Though Sangwoo's past does let me empathise for him in some aspects, I simply won't use his past to justify his actions, as the past can never do that, I hate it when people shift the entire blame onto his mother, as if she forced him to do such acts, yes, she did contribute a fraction of what made him the way but letting sangwoo get scot free is disgusting. Justice for Bum and the other girls he hurt ~!
I'm glad the creator mentioned it and doesn't condone a romantic relationship between them! I've seen some people on here sad that they didn't end up together which I have been side-eyeing because who would want that for Yoon Bum? That's great, I'm really excited to see this in anime form this particular story would just look great on screen. Exactly, I see the past as something important it should be a reminder of what not to do just because it happened to you. Anyways, I am glad Sangwoo got what was coming to him he reaped what he sowed.
Yeah the people who want them together are messed up in the head
Gonna be honest if this was some abusive shit romanticising a relationship (i.e. they end up together and be all cutesy after) I was gonna scream. This was the opposite this was so good you feel for Yoon Bum who is in love with a guy who is not capable of love. Sangwoo abuses and takes advantage of Yoon Bum on several occasions. One fucked me up though is when you find out he's a murderer. Ngl I feel for Sangwoo on some occasions (tragic backstories lol) but you also don't root for him cause he's irredeemable.
These two characters are so messed up it would be great as a horror movie on screen!!
Best ships are...
Yoon Bum and freedom.
Sangwoo and jail/death
