This is such a good psychological story with great utilization of its medium. Every drawing and black shot is done purposefully in a way that makes you almost forget you’re reading a manhwa and not a thriller novel or film.
I just don’t understand the comments of people disliking it because they thought it’d have a happy ending. BLs that romanticize rape have rotted your guys’ brain if you‘re upset that a manhwa that opened with a rape scene wouldn’t have a happy ending.
Anyway, onto my actual thoughts on the story so far: I honestly don’t think a 100 years of therapy and meds could fix this. I usually always root for the victim to get out of the situation in these type of stories but I don’t think that’s even an option here. Even if he got out by some miracle, I don’t think he could ever recover. I genuinely think the “best” ending this could have is for Yuwon to get delusional enough to think their relationship is a happy one. Developing Stockholm syndrome would be the best outcome for this story to have which feels CRAZY to say but yeah. Poor Yuwon, they didn’t show us what his family was like but I feel like something must have happened for him to have such low self-esteem. I really hope they expand on that in season 2! I’m really excited.
