.

the shi is suppoesed to be messed up and it is

The author never said so. Prove me she said it's not a BL, when I could easily prove it is labeled as BL on the official site and Koogi even explained why she chose this genre. (She also said it's not just abuse but also love)
Also...did you read the story? Sangwoo didn't even kill his mother lmao

https://www.wired.it/play/fumetti/2017/11/03/koogi-killing-stalking/ hope u can read italian <3 or u can just translate it. but the reason why lezhin labeled it as a bl is it was just for a marketing ploy who said she chose the genre? literally just search up is killing stalking a bl and the first thing that pops up, short answer "no". so idk where u got where she said that. and yeh i got a few things wrong ig, bad memories my bad. but that doesnt change the fact that killing stalking is not a romance story sheesh

if you ship them you're romamticizing the abuse of yoonbum and the author said not to do so

https://m.facebook.com/lzhncomics/posts/go-behind-the-scenes-of-killing-stalking-in-koogis-first-interview-featured-on-w/1290097237789364/ they posted this but still labeled the comic as a bl, why? women are the main targeted readers of bl, n since its a homosexual relationship it would be easier to market it toward women. The reason why it is not romamce is bc they relationship is fcking unhealthy and toxic. how r u going to hate yoon's uncle then go and ship sangwoo and yoon together.

if u want more links just say it bestie

I am Italian :P
And nowhere in the interview she said it's not a BL! She actually said she was afraid she wouldn't have handled the relationship between captor and captive poorly! Since you are at it with interviews, read this https://www.meganerd.it/koogi-intervista/
No, if you read killing stalking on the official site lezhin, in the first q&a (I think you can find it here too?) she said she chose BL because she was really influenced by this genre as a teenager!
I follow Koogi since January 2017, I met her twice in person and I read all her interviews and q&as, and she NEVER said that. Plus, during a comic convention (I personally attended) she said KS is a BL thriller.
Moreover, during the same convention, she confirmed Sangwoo loved Bum (for Bum and not for his mother). You all stop at the answer he was straight, but blatantly ignore she also said that in the last chapter, you can actually understand Sangwoo realised his feelings for Bum. He kept calling out Bum's name on his deathbed. The most painful death was dying without Bum by his side! Koogi is not against shippers, look at her twitter. She doesn't want the abuse to be romanticised of course, but the relationship between Sangwoo and Bum is very complex, it's not just abuse but also love. Unhealthy love but still.

Also, if you think unhealthy and toxic relationships can't be labeled as romance and you read a shit-ton of BLs I have bad news for you. Go tell to Painter of the night fans that story is not romance

Btw yes, I want more links, but official links thanks and anything i haven't already read that can prove your point! ;)

Sangwoo killed his mother because she RAPED AND MANIPULATED him at a young age and she even killed his father and forced Sangwoo to help her hide his body. Sangwoo doesn't get much sympathy because of what he did to Bum HOWEVER, he is a victim too. Due to untreated mental illnesses and lack of trust he never fully loved Bum, on another note Bum did some wrong things too and the situation could have been different had he did something different.

Ok i get it, sangwoo could have feelings for yoon whatever, but the thing is some of you would think that that justify his actions. i dont like shippers bc i feel like thats what yall are doing. Yeah sangwoo could have feelings for yoonbum, but what about Yoonbum? He has NEVER experienced what real love is b4. Someone who would be kind to him, or someone who would love him dearly. The reason why he stayed w sangwoo is bc, he thinks sangwoo "love"

wow they rlly cut my shi in half, anyways
The reason why he stayed w sangwoo is bc, he thinks sangwoo "love"

The reason why he stayed w sangwoo is bc, he thinks sangwoo "love" him. He stayed bc he didnt know, sangwoo was prolly the only one that he have met who would actually talk to him. That's why it irks me when someone's say that its a bl, even if its the author who said so
And if it's unhealthy "love", is it rlly love? Both sides are mentally fcked, so do u think that, one day, if given the chance to, will they changed? or would yoon bum still continue to live in sangwoos abusive home and endures the hits and punches from him?
if u were a mentally ok person, and some one breaks ur ankles, but they say they love u, would u stay w them?
We all need to know that yoon had been the victim all this time, and Sangwoo was the perpetrator, so are u forgiving him bc he "loved" yoonbum? and him being abused in his childhood, which i do feel bad about that, though it does not makes his abuse toward yoon bum any lesser.
other bls having toxic relationaships doesnt make this one ok, n this one is a lot more fcked up n serous compared to others popular bls bc it involves mental health. also there was barely any development for sangwoo, ss2, ss3 he still beat the shi out of yoon. until the very end when he realized he he "loved" yoon after he got seperated from him.

IN CONCLUSION, my point is their "love" for each other, no matter how much Sangwoo "loved" Yoonbum, shouldnt be ROMANTICISE and NORMALIZE. OBVIOUSLY THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS STILL MESSED UP BY THE END OF THE DAY, and yall know that alr.

Where do you see Sangwoo loving Bum justifies his actions?

well yeah you didnt say it is, maybe you dont think so as well, which i appreciate, but some ppl do. They romanticise it, which just makes his actions toward yoon seems like, "oh, it was just an act of love" and not a serious matter that shouldnt be condoned.

When ppl talk about romamce, it usually rainbows and butterflies, but obviously this is not that. This is super dark and messed up. Well ig theres dark romance, but refer to what i said above.

the def of romance, according to google is

"a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love." or

"a quality or feeling of mystery, excitement, and remoteness from everyday life."

Yeh sangwoo might find exitement toward yoon or whatever, but can it be the same for yoon? When he has to live in fear everyday bc of Sangwoo.

At first Bum loved him to the point of stalking however even he didn't know what Sangwoo was really like until he was forced to live with him. What Bum felt after this is considered stockholm syndrome. With the abuse mixed in with his adoration for the persona Sangwoo put on he thought he could love him just the way he was even after getting hurt often by him.
