Wow the misogyny in this manhwa is insane actually. The way every female character is either brutally murdered or portrayed as the devil incarnate and even then the comments and general fans of the series keep feeling sorry for sangwoo... Like I'm sorry but having mommy issues is not an excuse to brutally kill every girl you see.

    What's the misogyny you're seeing? Because I only really saw it with Bums grandma and Sangwoo's mom.

    Otherwise than that, all females killed and how they were portrayed was mostly from Sangwoo's POV, and it's very clear why he doesn't like women much

    Bum's grandma, sangwoo's mom practically every female character these two interact with. How violent and sexually crude every female character's death is how the author constantly tries to make his mom the big bad of the manhwa for abusing when sangwoo is even worse than her

    OMG my whole fucking reply deleted.

    I see what you're saying, and I even agree with you a bit. Sangwoo is definitely worse than his mother. But I feel like the reason he turned out so fucked up is partially because of the abuse he got from his mom and even dad.

    And again, I feel like Sangwoo killed them like that because of how he views Females personally, which again, is partially because of his mother and the things she did

    Yes i agree but it's very questionable how the author displays sangwoo's abuse so explicitly but never gives the same attention to his mother after all she was an abuse victim too. However one thing i i think the author has done very well is shown the difference between male & female victims of abuse sangwoo's mother lashes out on him because he's weak and the only one in her vicinity that she can control while sangwoo becomes hateful of every women.

    Yep, I agree with that as well.

    I wish the author would've went more in depth with Sangwoo's mother, because I doubt she was depressed and violent like that for no reason. Though they might have not, because I don't think they want anyone pitiying or forgiving her actions become of it. Kinda of how they feel about everyone that forgives most of Sangwoo's actions after learning of his past.
