bc in the end when sangwoo was calling out bum bum bum the author gave that as a clue that sang woo loved bum back
yeah he may have loved bum but the author confirmed that sang woo was straight. So the romantic love is one sided in the authors eyes
Because they have sex. And they were in love.
Yeah, he was by default straight. He was grossed out when he tried to have sex with that fat guy in the bar/club. Bum is the only guy he's interested in romantically and sexually.
Sangwoo was a murderer, psychopath and had a mental disorder so there is no way he would honestly love yoonbum romantically. He only used and tortured him like he would do with any other victim. Yoonbum liked it, because he also had some psychological problems and thought it's okay to be treated like that, if it's done by the one he loves.
Also, I thought this story was supposed to be more about how cruel murderers are and how they could use, manipulate and harm other people.
Probably, if Sangwoo wasn't a cool, handsome guy, a lot of people would take the whole story differently and wouldn't feel sad for him and yoonbum at the end, because that's what they deserved.
hey....um... not siding with sangwoo here but the statement that a murderer, psychopath and had mental disorder could not possibly love romantically is kinda sad. even if a person isnt screwed right in the head they still have feelings. psychopaths can love. murderers can love. victims can love. so this two could have a love that only they can understand and we our opinions are invalid for them. love is different for all people. you could have a dark twisted killing stalking love or some fluffy full of spring love and that is okay.
honestly reading this ever since at the start to the end is liberating i love sangwoo's character and not just his character art but how author potrayed him. i am severly fascinated with him. i also think the ending suits the manga and i already knew its not ' right' to let them live off as the conclusion.
sorry if what i said is off but um. ... as a person who loves mental disorder (im not romanticizing it)
that statement just um.. i feel bad if some psycho or muderer gets to read that idk but i just feel bad. lol sorry if i come off annoying
maybe because there's sex scenes
I understand what you mean and respect your opinion as well.
Actually, I thought that psychopaths can't really feel emotions, but they try to understand them and pretend they are like any other person. They use other people and can't really feel romantically about them. It may look like that, but I don't think it would be a true love. I think that relationship, where one person is torturing the other shouldn't be called like that. I know what you mean, but I think that way it kinda looks like people normalize that kind of relationship.
Also I met a lot of people who thought that Sangwoo is really hot and they would like to be kidnapped and tortured by him. This shouldn't be treated as a bdsm story or something like that. There are also some fujoshis, who, for some reason, find two men having sex with each that hot that they don't understand what the whole story is about and don't see how toxic this relationship really is. They mostly read it because it's yaoi. (I mean these toxic fujoshis, not everyone)
Of course I realize not everyone is like that, but there is still a lot of people, who think that way.
However, I don't think there is something wrong with people who are fascinated with character design of Sangwoo. A lot of people find reading about murderers or people with mental disroders interesting and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is just that some people normalize it and consider as something cool.
Sorry I made a mistake
Psychopaths can feel emotions, but the can't feel empathy. However, I think, that doesn't change the fact that Sangwoo didn't feel romantically about Yoonbum. He still used and tortured him and in my opinion it shouldn't be considered as any kind of love.
Oh yes! i get you! romanticizing mental disorders are so very wrong and normalizing what sangwoo shouldn't even be a debate.
that people think this is bdsm is disappointing. thanks for sharing that and that yoonbum and sangwoo's relationship may be superficial and not romantic but nothing is still something. they got the end that is suited for them.
sangwoo's character art is hella hot but its different that people consider his actions as something to be fantasized about. he is dangerous and i dont think people who live a normal life can understand the struggles of someone abused and tortured.
at the start i also thought that two men having sex is hot (it doesnt help that KS is one of the first bl i read) but as i got older and read more i realized that there is more to it with same genders than sex. there is so many complex emotions and that yaoi in fiction is different in real life.
i hope that toxic fujoshis can also be enlightened as time goes by.
I'm glad that we understand each other. I used to like reading some bl stories with sex scenes but as time passed by I realised that it's not really how it actually works. There's nothing wrong to have sex in relationship, but it shouldn't be fetishised.
I hope in the future there would be more stories that shows the actual problems that LGBTQ+ people are struggling with in their everyday life. It would be a lot more realistic.
I also hope that toxic fujoshis would finally get it someday
very good point psychopaths like blood. blood makes them calm down. i like you. do you have ig?
Why does it have yaoi tag? It's a psychological webtoon about murder, not a love story.
