In this special case, I fully condone MJ committing arson with the intent of killing. They deserve it and their world is better off without those people.
You won't hit him? How generous of you, Won. I feel, like he would prefer you giving him a bloody nose over you raping him repeatedly like that. But hey, I might be wrong about that. What do I know?
Water is something he wants to conquer?
Lol. Dude is so obsessive possessive, that he even tries do dominate all bodies of water now, because Seoyo committed suicide by drowning in a lake.
Ibitsu definitely is a sadist and poor Aya is his new favorite victim I guess, he does kinda deserve to get some comeuppance as long as Ibitsu doesn't go too far lol.
I wonder, if we'll ever get an explanation for why Kangwoo is so obsessed with Heewoon. He may be an abusive and obsessive little bitch, but in his own twisted way, he clearly cares for Heewoon and so far there has been no explanation as to why.
Kangwoo clearly new, Heewoon used to stalk him all along and yet never did anything about it until he couldn't ignore it any longer (pretty sure, in the novel, he even states, he liked Heewoon stalking him and gives him permission to continue doing it lol) , so there must have been SOME positive feelings there before the start of the story.
It's funny. Kangwoo's love bombing even works on me as a reader, who knows exactly what a black flag he is and always will be. He is an abusive bastard (and more) but then he has this cute moments and I catch myself going 'Aw, how cute.' And right after, I remember, that, no, he isn't cute in the slightest.
I don't remember it being this bad in the novel. It was never good, don't get me wrong, but ouch. Maybe I have just repressed how bad it truly was (has been quite some time since I read the novel), or maybe actually seeing it just hits harden than reading about it.
I also feel, like the way he's going about the rape, makes it worse than just using brute force. If Wooyeon did that, at least Inseob could tell himself, he truly did not have a choice. This way, it'll always feel like he had one and chose the rape for himself. That might not be how it works in reality, but humans are prone to blaming themselves if stuff like this happens to them.
A wanted arsonist and someone, who had to have the difference between rape and consensual sex literally spelled out for him, but still much more of a green flag than most other ML's, who don't have a criminal record.
From some, I don't expect anything different/any betterr, given their jobs/family/environment (Zhenya and Ilay for example, but many more come to mind), but there are those, that should be a lot greener than MJ but aren't (totally not looking at you, Jaekyung).
At this point Youngwon should just tell him the truth. It would explain a lot even if any normal person would have difficulty believing it at first and he can kind of back himself up by all the stuff he knows, that he shouldn't be able to know otherwise. At least it might give Hohyun a reason to stay put instead of putting himself in any more danger than he has to be.
But I guess, the author feels like we need the drama for the story to be more interesting.
In universere if you look up the word 'menace' in the dictionary, I swear, there is a picture of Zhenya next to it...
ML's so smart normally. How could he not have seen this coming from a mile away?
Love really is blind sometimes.
Other red flags should take notes from Doha. He IS still a red flag but at least he is smart enough not to rape Bada. Although I am pretty sure that's just because, just like he said, if he did, he'd destroy any future chances on some fun with Bada, not because of his moral compass. If he even has one is still open for debate after all.
