The older "brother" didn't kill the family to become head of the family, he killed them because they were busted, the family almost beat him to death at that moment and because the little brother was about to marry. Becoming head of the family was the consequence of that murder (unless he revealed that he was the one who killed everyone).
The little brother also got upset about the marriage because the bride used to be his fiancee and although hating the mc, he used to love him and still does. Feelings can be complicated and conflicting...
no it was all a sham, you would've noticed how the younger brother gaslights the older brother, he manipulated the obssession his older brother has for him of course the trauma older brother went played a big part and younger brother used that to manipulate older brother, author-nim did a great job on making the readers view younger brother as the victim instead of the older brother, if you wish to understand it further there's an analysis on the very last chapter provided by MGS
You've missed smth. He didn't marry the woman bc he was the oldest. He didn't want to do that from the beginning and postponed it as long as he could. Maybe he hoped the bride's father would break the engagement at some point but sadly he didn't. Instead he threatened he will take the younger brother.
In the mean time Dongim got scared he will be abandoned. And ofc he was dead furious for killing his parents too. He thought/wanted to have everything in control.
I still fail to guess what was on his mind in the beginning. Did he want them to be busted, knowing Jeongyeom would be throwned away? So marry and live as any other young man?
Or was it the first step to check Jeongyeom's feelings and if he would be satisfied, plan and elope together?
Or he wanted to be married and keep Jeongyeom close, but the father finding out ab their romance was the first unplanned crack? (The killing was the second)
"It's complicated" - that's def how I would describe their relation.
I mean the art was beautiful, I just didn’t like the plot. So ofc they just had to be brothers, & one of them is the elder top who is adopted and killed the younger bottoms family in order to be the head of the family? But in reality his only desire was to be with his younger brother? Yet unfortunately he has to marry a woman due to being head of the family? Which upsets the younger brother to saying he’ll finally escape? Then when they get married he stays? Then wants to leave and gets raped? BUT HE LIKES IT??!!!???
Yeah bruh I’m not even gonna lie to ya, I deadass thought at the end when we were talking abt that fuck ass tree, that lil bro hung himself. I guess not. He was fiending for that big meat.
“Oh you killed my whole family & stole my life, yeah bro come penetrate me
