On one hand i get the revenge. Like go get him gurl that’s ur rapist make him pay, let him have back what he did to u. But on the other, jiwook legit doesn’t remember anything. A clean slate if u will. And of course that doesn’t erase what he did and doesn’t guarantee that he would feel any guilt if he knew, but i think the whole torture thing would’ve made more sense if he actually knew why this was happening to him. The fact that juyeon knew the whole time that he lost his memory about it makes me question if he was ever doing this for revenge or just to satisfy a sadistic side he developed. Because at this point, and i know it’s probably triggering for others to know it, he’s simply torturing an innocent man.
Spoiler
I think juyeon must’ve been 15? He was a first year if I remember. And jiwook a couple years older. Jiwook and his friends terrorized him for a year with gang rape and bullying. They eventually took photos/videos and sent it to juyeon’s mother who then had an attack from the shock that left her in the hospital
As much as the dad was an asshole, i can’t help but sympathize with his situation. Obviously what he did was wrong but judging his situation, it seems he just broke. One day everything was fine and suddenly it’s all gone just like that. By the looks of it he was an actor and probably an up and coming one. Of course any scandal involving an actor will be blown into exaggerated proportions, and that includes a mentally ill wife. All of that happening at once really takes a toll on anybody. Blaming his son was most likely the only way he could channel any grief and guilt he had. Doesn’t justify any of the shit he did but it does give a better explanation as to why. Hurt people, hurt people.
This was definitely one of the weirder ones lmao. But ngl, i did feel a little tinge in my chest when the dad said noone appreciated his books like his wife, because there always was someone that did. And then you just see the letter (or book review) from the mc like damn. I’ll try to be more appreciative and notice the little things like that from now on










Yall ngl this waaayyy tamer than their other work with the dad and the son lmao
