You do have a point, I didn't try to censor anyone though, anybody can go ahead and have the most twisted fantasies if they want, as long as it's in their head and don't actually act on these fantasies. That doesn't mean I agree with them. I'm all for free speech and speaking your mind, that's why I spoke my mind that I don't like seeing fangirling over such a disturbed character, that's all.
There are so many douche semes in yaois that fujioshi got used to them. Sangwoo is worse, he's a psycho, way worse than a common douche.
Well, I've read over 300 yaois and I'm still not used to it. I try to stay as far away from douchy semes as possible (but if the story is good, I'm compelled to read it).
I'm glad you agreed with my other points though. I like intelligent, reasonable discussions, and not "what did you say about mah fav seme you bitch?" type of comment.
Since you were so articulate and resonable of course I liked your comment <3 Why isn't the option to like replies on mangago? *sobs*
Awww, thank you <3 You made my day ^^
" only knows what he's doing half of the time" he knows perfectly what he does ALL the time. Is he an amnesiac and I missed it? Or does he suffers from anterograde amnesia like in the movie Memento?
I wanted you to give a solid argument, but sorry, that's just a poor made-up excuse.
You could have went with "he had an abusive childhood" argument, that would have been better. But it was debunked anyway earlier by others (yours truly included).
I understand you like crazy characters with twisted peronalities, I don't try to shame or censor you for it. But call a spade a spade, you like a character that tortured, mutilated, raped women for days in his basement. In the latest chapters it's hinted he even chocked his mother (possibly to death). He also intended to break Bum's feet so he'll never walk, but he didn't go all the way with it (thank kami). To say he "only knows what he's doing half of the time" is so far from the truth and it seems you consciously or unconsciously try to find any excuse for him to not seem like such a monster (but it's in vain).
But hey, at least he's cute? amirite? (=・ω・=)
LOL. I often want to like comments too. I think often people are both attracted and repelled by parts of twisted stories. At least I am. I know when I read Gillian Flynn's books (e.g. Gone Girl) I tend to be oddly entranced by the most unlikable characters. There is a short story called "The Grown Up" that I wish had an entire series or comic book because the psycho characters are so fascinating (though completely immoral).
Haha my apologies then, your choice of emojis and lmao made me think you were being sarcastic. A few reasons as to why someone may like Sangwoo that is not related to his look:
1) They're interested in the inner workings of a criminal and hence he appeals to them as a character. Shows that have achieved popularity because of this include criminal minds, Dexter, silence of the lamb, etc. Keep in mind being interested does not mean that they are attracted to criminals or are criminals themselves. Some people like characters that they can dissect and discuss, characters that show then a part of human mind that they don't quite comprehend.
2) We know he's evil, but he's also unpredictable. He literally makes up the thrill and suspense tags that is a part of this story. He keeps the readers on their toes and coming back to see what he does next and that in itself can make many like him. Without him, there would not be much to this manhwa, at least not enough to help it achieve the popularity it has now.
3) He isn't a cardboard cutout villain. Koogki could have made him a middle age, average looking man who is psychotic simply because he's crazy (much like the serial killer from the manhwa Bastard). She didn't though. She gave him a back story and made him visually appealing (personally I don't find him hot) to illicit some sort of empathy or feeling from the readers. She's basically messing with the readers mind much in the way Sangwoo is with Bum. Some might fall for it, others see right through it like the policeman. It just speaks to her talent as a writer.
Too lazy to type out more but those are a few reasons that extend beyond "he's hot." Not everyone always likes the underdog or hero character. To each their own. No need to hate or be so dismissive about it.
But if y'all still like Sangwoo after reading Chapter 15 I'm done with this goddamn world. This is not love. This is manipulation, abuse, and torture, with a big sprinkle of stockholm syndrome.
