Maybe one of the brother has some mental issue but I don't think they switch identity. Why will Siwon steal Jiwook's identity ? I mean he outshines his brother.
The theory implies that it was Jiwook whom outshined Siwon; therefore, Siwon took over Jiwook's identity.
There's a confrontation between the two bro in next chap. I want to know what they are saying. Maybe there's a hint concerning their true identity.
really interesting reading on joohoon and jiwook's relationship although i can't make my mind up yet since translations aren't out. but i think that the 'fucking annoying' bit may have been jiwook's mind fucking with him because before that scene, jiwook thinks that all the adults are comparing him to siwon and mocking him because he is not as capable as him, and so jiwook thinks that siwon is thinking that he's being an annoying little brat.
Yes, that would also make sense. Jihook's mind playing tricks on him and he starts thinking that Siwon also looks down on him, when the only one looking down on him is himself... hmmm
Very plausible and that's why Jiwook is shitting bricks on Siwon and Johoon meeting and wondering if his name came up and/or if Johoon said anything about him to Siwon.
In chap 30
Siwon asked Joohoon what is their relationship and Joohoon said that they were more than intimate
I dont think so either. I think you are just over analyzing things lol. Interesting but very unlikely.
Somebody recently posted here their theory of Siwon stealing Jiwook's identity, and based on the latest raws, that theory is starting to have some merit. This is not spoiler but speculation at this point based on the following spoilers!
Spoilers ahead based on chapter 32, do not read if you don't want to be spoiled!

In chapter 32 Juhoon calls Jiwook whom acts terrified but answers the call. Juhoon pretty much implies that "Jiwook" was his "fox" whom had a sexual relationship with him and that Jiwook enjoyed their implied sex very much. In the conversation, Jiwook gets raving mad and screams to Juhoon that it was a "mistake" that he almost lost his brother because of him, to which Juhoon replies mockingly if Jiwook is really acting like a "victim", as if he truly cared for what happened to Siwon, that he (Juhoon) did him a favor, and if Jiwook is really acting as if there's nothing between them when after all, they share that kind of "secret". After they hang up, Jihook says something very interesting: (take all of this with a grain of salt as I do not speak Korean and this is nothing but a very rough translation that may be completely wrong):
"It's ok, it's ok, no need to worry, I got my place back", immediately followed by flashbacks from Jiwook's point of view of when him and Siwon were children, where apparently Siwon gets all the attention for being academically superior and Jiwook is looked down upon by everyone. Initially Jihook seems content for all the praise Siwon gets, however, there is a sinister scene that looks like a shadow of Siwon saying "how fucking annoying" (at all the praise Siwon is getting), which shocks Jiwook to the core.
Now, the question here is, what is that "secret" Jiwook and Juhoon share?, is it the rape of Siwon orchestrated by the two of them that he's referring to? or was the rape of Siwon an initiative from Juhoon guessing Jiwook's hatred towards his brother trying to do him a favor without being asked? or was it something that Jiwook explicitly asked of Juhoon? or is it something else entirely? Could it be as that previous poster speculated, that somehow because they are identical twins, Siwon took on the identity of Jiwook after the rape and that's the secret Juhoon is actually referring to, kind of threatening Jiwook with it. This theory gets some weight from Jiwook's inner monologue stating that "he got his place back".
What about that sinister Siwon looking shadow? was that Siwon or Jiwook's subconscious? sort of a split personality or sliver of his subconscious envy toward his brother; a sort of manifestation of his resentment towards his high achieving twin? the birth of Jiwook's hatred for his brother. But if the identity swap theory has merit, then we can speculate that the high achieving twin was in fact Jiwook and the twin with an inferiority complex and full of resentment and hatred was/is Siwon. That would explain the episode where the apparent "Jiwook" is looking in the mirror and we see a reflection looking back of a mean looking smirking Siwon. Then that means that the body which Taemin is in right now is in fact Jiwook's body, the one that was raped was Jiwook.
Or all of the above can very well be nothing but rubbish and the simple truth is that Jiwook was/is the under achiever envious of high achieving Siwon, a goody two shoes that Juhoon found boring, while he found the evil envious Jiwook more interesting (birds of a feather flock together), whom had a sexual relationship which Jiwook used to his advantage and had Juhoon rape Siwon to drive him over the edge so he could commit suicide, leaving Jiwook as the only son in the spotlight, and that's what Jiwook means when he says "I got my place back", that he got his place back as the only son to be praised.
This webtoon is driving me crazy! I'm so fascinated by it. And I'm still dying to know what the hell was Siwoon/Woojin doing in Siwon's house on the 2nd/3rd? episode when Taemin sees him for the first time after he wakes up in Siwon's body. Why was Siwoon with Jiwook when they haven't interacted since! aggggg...I'm dying to know, damn it!
