I agree! Geumsun has definitely the most baggage - it’s just really sad how he decided to deal with the pain. It’s even more worse seeing how eunjae is able to work through all of that, while geumsun turned bitter after realizing yoonwi was “gone”.
Even after all that, geumsun has been somewhat selfless.
not forgetting about the … toxic relationship he had with 704 in the beginning tho
I hate to give excuses to abusive tops, but, if I remember right, Geumsun was extremely immature when everything happened. He suddenly lost everything and everyone and went to sleep. After waking up he discover Yoon Yi had become the type of being that prosecuted and killed his kind (sorry, I refuse to use "whitewashed" names like goblins) in the past, without memories and emotions.
I understand why he would hate 704, for him it's like something horrible, disgusting even, took his beloved's body, and he being immature and having no outlet for his pain, dumped everything on 704 because he isn't human. (ب_ب)
I kinda get where you are coming from; but this is definitely excusing his behavior sexually assaulting, framing and using 704 for his advantage “just” because he became a reaper is not acceptable … I also don’t believe geumsun, as a goblin, ever had a personal bad experience with reapers causing his behavior.
Immaturity is one thing but considering that he was still
acting like that (in the events of s1)? It’s not an excuse anymore …
I mean no hate btw!! Just disagreeing with some points but no harm Σ(っ°Д °;)っ I like how you characterized geumsun because I feel the same way - he definitely has so much to bear and finds no way to “deal” with it
I totally agree with you, I was just giving my perspective, I also think it's unacceptable, even though I kinda get it where it comes from.
I just disagree with the thing about personal bad experience being a decisive factor, of course it has huge impact but we can harbor extreme negative emotions towards something/someone even when we weren't harmed personally through empathy.
I think I need to read it again to be sure, but Geumsun gave me the feeling of wanting to extract some kind of emotional response from 704, and since he didn't succeed his abusive behavior escalated more and more until he, himself, couldn't take it anymore. Everything he did was self-destruct. ಥ_ಥ
Yeah I agree with the empathy thing! I think the author should have shown some insight about geumsun’s opinion towards reapers because that would definitely answer some questions!! I somehow believe it’s not that deep and it’s just geumsun being toxic haha but this chapter really revealed his motives, maybe we’ll get more !!
I know all of the characters are suffering but I think the one who suffered most here is geumsun. Imagine he planned to take yoohwi's memories back and even want to sacrifice his existence for it, only to be disappointed that he's completely forgotten by that person. I mean aside from yama, geumsun is the only being here that has memories of past ever since.
Eun on reincarnated as eunjae.
Hoseung reincarnated or related to San
Yoohwi became a reaper.
So that left geumsun to have his memories still intact after all those times. Everyone almost forgot everything.
