the fact some of you are normalizing being a psychopath is... yikes
just because someone had a rough childhood doesn’t excuse them of criminal acts, not every people who had a bad childhood has turned out to be a criminal, there IS a choice
edit: re-phrased - rather than normalizing criminal activities, these people should address that people with mental illnesses should get treated so that they dont kill others
Agreed
You shouldn't take domestic violence lightly. Saying he has a choice? Say that when you have exprienced such life. I am definitely not normalizing anything but he is definitely a victim. He is sick and he needs help and treatment and you're the one normalizing that all people have the same mental stability. Everyone has their limit. There's a reason why mentally ill people doesn't get the same penalty as the sane ones. What he did is obviously wrong but people should not miss out the root of the problem. It's how he was raised and i believe that most people raised in murderous environment would think that it is normal to kill. Study harder and understand things. There are exceptions, of course, but if people dont learn to distinguish what the real problem is, there won't be any change.
Thank you so much for saying this. This is true and nuanced and needs to be heard.
I KNOW THAT, but i’m addressing the ones that are justifying him regardless of him having a rough upbringing or not, to the point of fetishizing him murdering people as if that was ok
THE SECOND COUPLE WON ME OVER
ME TOO!!! I wanted to see so much more of them bc they were so cute and Taguchi was so cute and patient and Morisaki was a lovable tsundere marshmelloowwwww
this is supposed to be a comedy lmao why are people getting all serious about it? lbr some girls behave like the MC so it’s entertaining to see this scenario
I knew that dude was after jiwon's brother.... it’s understandable that he acted that way towards DG (though it’s NOT excusable), i mean yeah all he wanted was validation, he always yearned for someone that would love him for being himself and when that someone came Into his life he hurt him :(
was after his brother but since he's hetero, he took advantage of alex instead..... that would crash anyone
if we rely on sangwoo's earlier flashbacks we could think the dad was the fcked up one but it was the mom, the one he has issues with :-) and the one he got all those how-to-get-away-with-murder tips from but you all claimed i was wrong for saying sangwoo is unreliable, when he clearly was protecting her mom by painting his dad as the bad guy~
so in chapter 47, we see what happened after DG left from alex's pov... he even does the broadcast and searches for DG's username and he finds out he’s deleted the account... then alex is basically trying to convince himself that he only likes DG's body, because the sex is good, that it’s pure lust... then he’s at the gym and sees a dude as DG (because of how eager DG used to talk to him) and he realizes that.... he actually likes DG more than just his body (and he realized it after DG 'left' him (those are his actual words)) and at the end of the chapter he’s actually phoning DG...
Alex please....
What's the point of posting this
*squeals* my heart~~ (≧∀≦)
And here I was hoping for some jealousy
wait for ch 48, it's gonna be so good!!!
ive been wondering about the cats' breed because they look like caracals but i’m not sure...
I think it's the savannah cats ! I'm not sure but I wish I had cats like those ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
ooh you’re right! i forgot about the savannah breed, which is also an hybrid breed like caracats
Unless they ar not properly cats, but are servals, which is a feline bigger than a cat, and the patternd on their ears looks a lot like serval's.
In the first chapter of Secret XXX it is stated that they are servals
ohh sorry
!!! thanks
what i'm actually concerned about is that neither bum nor sangwoo are reliable narrators, both are unstable so how can we tell if what we’ve seen so far it’s actually all /reality/ instead of /illusions/... i’m not denying the whole story, just some parts that could pretty much be explained as made up, especially considering how sangwoo has mistaken bum as his own mom (he could pretty much have a distorted reality)
the story isn't really being told from either of their perspectives, so that would kind of be a very lame twist....i don't think we have to worry about that
It wouldn't be lame at all. She's absolutely right. The narrators aren't reliable and so basically any weird outcome is possible.
why do you think they are the narrators? if that's the case then the cop is also a narrator...it's not really being told from anyone's perspective in particular
You're right. But I also think a lot has been shown from Bum's perspective, especially in the first season. Sangwoo's perspective is still a bit sketchy because I think the author doesn't want to reveal his motives just yet. It's sad if you re-read from the beginning and see Bum's mental state steadily decline. As readers, we don't know if what we're seeing is real or a figment of someone's psychosis. Maybe that's Koogi's intention. All we know is that they aren't right in the head. Seungbae has even had his moments where he seemed out of the loop. At this point, any theory is plausible.
not really...it's been pretty consistent so far. there's no chance of that happening...everything is being told from a third person's pont of view (as an outsider looking in). the moments you describe (when we see what Bum or Seungbae see) are just used to buid suspense or to shock us...there's no way that some parts of the story are sudenly gonna turn out to be illusions or made up. that is clearly noot this author's style...
It's a psychological thriller and I'm not saying every psychological thriller needs to have an epic twist at the end but our main characters have all had illusions up until now and it's very much Koogi's style to make the reader question what the characters are seeing.
I'm not saying that halucinations don't play a huge role in the series and that they won't have an important role in the future, I'm saying there's no way that the stuff we've seen so far is gonna turn out to be just part of someone's illusions.
well damn you went off... i think you took my point the wrong way, considering i was just talking about sangwoo's hallucinations, it wouldn’t be too far fetched if some of the stuff he has shown us via his memories are made up or distorted
mental illnesses is a theme very apparent in this story and some MI include having hallucinations as part of the symptoms so yeah me thinking about it isn’t lame or stupid like you’re claiming
you can disagree with it, the name calling isn’t necessary
thanks for supporting my point! what i said in my previous comment is that it’s not far-fetched to think something doesn’t add up, because honestly both sangwoo and bum aren’t 'normal' people, so they could be sugarcoating stuff (bum) or just imagining things are x way when it wasn’t exactly that (sangwoo)
if the author wanted to make something realistic they should take into account the symptoms of mental illnesses, because yeah no normal person would be into killing or stalking lol
i keep coming back this story over and over again TT i just love how pure it is and the fact it started with unrequited love between the MCs and other people and ended up being required between them
