Hmm I was convinced it was basic but.... maybe its not!
Did the dad attack Jinwoo? The image of him hitting someone was facing the audience like when he was tending to jinwoo... Why did Jinwoo move from the wall to face down on the floor? Was he trying to get away? Did his dad mistakenly hit him then try to fix it? Was this a memory of a beating? Why was his foot injured as well as his head? Was he doing something where he deserved being hit? Is jinwoo part of the whole maggot thing?
Does guwon killing people not turn them into maggots?? I really wanna know this one... cus then surely killing all the people he has even with his reasons would be creating more problems? Or is there a need for disposal like vampires etc? Have they ever mentioned that?
Im on board with everyone saying Guwon has his strict rules and would follow them. I don't really see why he would step in to save jinwoo unless the father was a maggot, but that's remarkable timing, but also is any of this even real?
Unreliable narrator... it's clever and a good way to write a psychological thriller. Just personally don't find them satisfying as there is no true conclusion - everything could be lies and wrong. Hurts my completionist brain could get to the end and jinwoo is rocking back and forth in a padded room or just wakes up from a dream. That kind of shiz. Reminds me of shutter island, up to interpretation.
Urgh, yeah, re- reading the first couple.of.chapters is so sad now.
Sp9ilefs for the latest chapter below I guess
In the first version of Guwon coming up behind someone and killing them, i think mc's mixed it up with how he got injured in the first place. So the figure is just a shape really and talking about robbing him, but then when he's hit, he's wearing the dads clothes from the later chapter...
The bit in the truck after he's given him water and Guwon says ' someone was thirsty' that's probably the water his dad brought to him... got me so sad...
The bit with Guwon saying 'i almost killed you for.no reason' isn't he killing everyone for no reason? Also, how does this zombie thing work... are the people Guwon kills not coming back? Or is he killing so many to make the problem worse on purpose?
Also had a random theory that Guwon might be connected to the first suicide/zombie occurrence.
No, Guwon does not kill "for no reason"
All his confirmed kills have a just cause to him.
1st kill were the maggots in/near his town
2nd the kid's dad stole medicine, broke the law
3rd Doc pointing a gun at him/trying to kill him when he thinks he didn't do anything wrong
I can see your point that Guwon feels justified in his choices to kill.
I believe he also killed the drs family and mcs dad, but since you suggest they are unconfirmed, we'll leave the reasons for those killings out. (It checks out for his character that he probably did but nvm)
But what was his reason to kill mc before finding out he was useful? He was dying on the floor, a threat to no one. What justification did Guwon have for that?
So still a shame/hate kink? No development at all? Cool, I'll be back in another 50 chapters
Honestly the entire premise is questionable, she's lying about who she is to most of these people. She's a bit mental and it's pretty scary to consider irl. The safety aspect of going into that guys home and of him letting her in! It's all so far fetched.
It's just reverse harem hentai right? Suspend all disbelief and it's a... fun? Time? I dunno, makes me all uncomfortable but turn your morals off and it's fine I guess
I mean what do you expect this isn't real is fictional lol and I love it cus anything can happen
just think of it as one of those harem porn manhwa created with a male protagonist for decades. this is still tame in comparison to what the worst of porn manhwas can contain. and agreed, turning your morals off is the way to go because honestly who are you even expecting morals from? a harem porn manhwa on the internet? tough
I mean, I did say this in my post? It just makes me more uncomfortable than I expected I guess? I'm not ragging on the story or anything, for what it is it's entertaining. I've read much much worse. It's just one of those where it had me fooled with the tone at times I think. Then I have to remind myself I read the synopsis, I know what this is. It's just so light and fluffy that the lying and creepy stuff is jarring I guess? I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say anymore!
Fair, and yeah I didn't expect morals from a hentai porn, I think it's that at times its so fluffy in tone I forget what it is
I know he's a good actor and he loves it, but is it worth your peace and being controlled by your adopted mother? I dunno, people.stay in these awful positions being held to ridiculous standards (I never understand the whole 'you're an idol, no dating or drinking, must be pure and perfect' it's obviously a cultural thing). But it's the same tropes in all these idol/actor stories. Dating, drinking drug scandals, bully at school scandals, that stem from defending themselves against the actual bullies because of gayness. I've lost what my original point was but I would assume he's got enough money and talent to develop a career doing something else? I would so be ditching everything to just be alone with yeongwon.
Like sure decide they can't come with you but he didn't have to kill them.. just leave them there. Honestly I always found him a bit too creepy and this is just making it worse. I realise the Dr could be lying but he did also beat a guy to death... it's quite a level of righteousness to thi k it's OK to murder but not steal meds so long as everyone agreed with you. Insanity and I'm not sure I can enjoy a 'romance' here.. not even that interested in the story as teach is a bit of a wet lettuce and guwon is just creepy. I don't personally care for either of them anymore which makes it hard to be invested. I'm not judging any who are into it and love the story, just adding my thoughts.
To any who say 'don't like don't read' yes, when it gets unbearable to me I will stop - thanks
Lol I've never seen someone being described as a wet lettuce although it does fit him.
Classic British phrase, I'm glad it makes sense even if you don't know it
This is so over the top, top tier drama series
Soap opera! That's what I mean.
This is still going eh, I can't even remember when I stopped reading. Is it worth it a re-read?
YES!!!
Urgh, I dont like the hounds... just massive bullies it seems like. I could be wrong but they seem... annoyingly up themselves and I rarely enjoy characters like that, even the bad guys. Predicting power struggles, teach vs hounds for who guwon sides with, shit like that. I also presume teach and guwon will be together in the end. I personally think teach will be more of an issue than guwon but maybe I'm just hoping for something more interesting?
As a grown ass woman I don't find 'quirky violent murder hotties' a fun concept so I really hope that's not what we're going for with the hounds, please please let them not be a cliche
When this is back i might let it marinate, if i can contain myself
