All these psychologists psychiatrist etc saying psychopaths can't love. I don't believe that there's a heart incapable of loving. I'm pretty sure that Kang Moo has feelings for Kirin.

Cannot feel love I do believe Kang mo cares about Kirin may be loves him but he is just not sure how but I can feel it whenever they kiss Kang mo expression Don't seem like he is actually aware tht he has to do and need to do tht but he just do tht cuz Kirin wants to feeel little connected to Kang moo , he is just denial type guy or more like not aware or never had any relationship with anyone he was just busy his whole life to cure himself from psychopathy

If he doesn't love Kirin he will never go out of his way just because he's a psycho whatsoever. Yeah, it's all new to him and he's not even sure what to call of what he feels towards Kirin but I'm certain he loves him. In criminal minds, I have watched a lot of them, those psychopaths hurts their vrry love ones when they get hurt by them. In kang Moo's part he never did.

Ysh i also saw tht in hannibal thts why it's just lite version of hannibal in my view since Kang mo and Kirin are partners in crime and where as in hannibal Hannibal and will was murdere husbands ... Since Kang mi did harm Kirin in extra chp don't wanna give spoiler just telling we r far from tht anyway just saying he care about Kirin but his urge to kill will never stop

It’s not that they can’t love it’s more like their version of love is not the same as that of a regular person they can’t experience empathy so it’s almost impossible for them to understand or relate to their parter. They can be obsessed with a person and even extremely possessive of them and I would imagine that their brain experiences same exchange of dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin after sex as that of a normal person so they can probably experience attachment but I can’t imagine it being healthy ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

There's no clear definition of love, it's entirely subjective. If you think of it as entirely physical then yes but if you add an emotional factor or what we would call "connection" with another person then you'd have to consider that what allows us to form interpersonal relationships is empathy and in psychopaths the part of the brain (supramarginal gyrus) that allows us to feel said empathy functions differently compared to a regular person.
BTW no self-respecting and credible psychologist would ever make a claim of such a radical degree because there's no yes or no answer. ( ̄∇ ̄")

I don't think that I fully understand what you said. Yes love is way more than just physical, no one said otherwise and it does involve having an emotional connection, like you said. But I don't think that just because someone has a emotional connection with someone it immediately means that they love them. There's a lot of different types of emotional connections a person can have in their life, friendship or obsession are examples of that.
BTW no self-respecting and credible psychologist unlike us that often use it in common speech would even use Psychopath per say, since the mental health professionals instead prefer to understand psychopathys as part of antisocial personality disorders (APDs). One characteristics associated with APD is exactly having a pronounced lack of empathy and among those who display APD, the ones called psychopaths are distinguished by a nearly complete inability to form genuine emotional attachments to others.
You're right, love is subjective.
I just don't think that is healthy to think the way the most of the people in this comment section (general, not only this specific comment) seem to think, like that everyone would change because of love, that everyone is capable of love, that story's like this are somehow an " relationship goal" or that it doesn't matter what, if that person loves you everything is okay. It's scaring that some of these people may end up in a toxic relationship because of the way they think, it just make me want to scream you're puting yourself in danger if you think everyone will change because they fell in love, some people are terrible and it doesn't matter if you love them or if they love you, they will probably remain the same and hurt you or even horse. The amount of cases inside couples relationships about rape, violence and even murders should made that clear.
In a complete random note, I do believe that Hollywood and Disney usually explore this type of "Falling in love with the Bad Person" plot creating an illusion that they would change for the right person or would change only towards that only person and manny girls and boys out there only realize about it not being true when they're get caught in an abusive relationship.

We're arguing the same point lol and I was just trying to explain that if one's definition of love is purely a physical expression of it then you could say that "psychopaths" are capable of experiencing it as much as anyone. However, forming a healthy relationship on an emotional level would be impossible for them. And yes - you won't be able to find "psychopath" as a diagnosis in DSM-5, but the term is used quite often in the literature (studies/journals/articles) to address specific characteristics that are associated with this personality type. Also, couldn't agree more about the whole "changing for love" mentality.
The fact that we're having a more profound and in-depth argument about the APD and its classifications on this site than I've ever had in any of my psych classes is truly fascinating.

Oh, now I understand, thanks for explaining for me, it did made me feel like we discussed the same point, sorry about that. The term is really used in literature, i unfortunately forgot to add that part but I'm glad you got that what I was saying is that the term isn't the diagnosis.
I always been really interested in Psychology, even though of studying it but unfortunately in my country public health works barely get paid and I don't really have the money to open a private one (besides most of the private Psychologists here are extremely expensive and I wouldn't, personally, be comfortable with that) so it was good to talk with you.
Hope you have a good day. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
