I think it was a beautiful story despite the strong themes, pilyeon got what he deserved in the end. A karmic end, the most important person completely erased from his memory which is what soongap would have wanted for sure. In the end pilyeon was a mentally unstable individual with delusions and a possessive disorder. I think it was inevitable that he would have done something to soongap (unfortunately), in fact his obsessive and possessive nature was hinted in almost all of their interactions with how he treated soongap and how he touched him. His affection was for sure unhealthy to say the least. In the end i think him not dying was ok since it would have made soongap feel responsible and guilty, in the final chapter you can see hes relieved he didnt die (its incredible how kind he is cuz i would have hoped for the opposite lol)
This way they are completely severed from one another. They will never hear of each other again and thats what they deserve. Pilyeon doesnt deserve to have known someone as kimd as soongap so its better that he has now forgotten everything about him. At least thats my interpretation
The story and romance was so good but the fucking rape left a VILE TASTE in my mouth that I couldn’t enjoy it after. I feel so fucking violated. WHY on earth is that mother fucker still alive I AM SO MAD
