i know right ......if the similarity some claim is devil seme than isnt almost all yaoi like that ......i think they get compared because they are both popular and the names are similiar but thats it
I couldn't say it better. I already read both mangas, i don't see anything in common between seungho and sangwoo. People who compare them together are the new readers who just started reading painter of the night
May I ask what manga is sangwoo from? I've just started getting invested to some yaoi mangas.
Killing stalking
"Killing stalking" but i don't recommend you to read it if you're not used to that type of stories. it's not fully yaoi. it's very violent, as it mentioned earlier the main character enjoy killing, sometimes he kills girls after f*cking them, and other times he f*ck them after killing them
Exactlyyyyyyy
THANK YOU
I really can't relate to readers who think Sangwoo and Seungho are anywhere in the same level of fucked up. Where?? How?? Do people ever read any other 'fucked up' yaoi or seme besides Killing Stalking? Because if not, that could explain it. If the only 'bad' semes they can list are Sangwoo and Seungho, then I guess it makes sense to say they are similar. No more samples to compare to. Otherwise, there are so many others in between these two that the only thing they have similar is their name.
There is a meme going around with Sangwoo and Seungho on a bus and the question, what would you do if there were the only two on the bus?
Hmm... let me think... one is a serial killer, with at least 4 bodies on his rap, prone to hallucinations. A guy whose only hobby in life is to kill people for pleasure and the thrill of it. In plain words, Sangwoo was a psychopath who enjoyed torture and killing like we enjoy coffee in the morning.
Seungho on the other hand, may very well be capable of killing but there is nothing in the story that indicates that he has the urge, the need or has any particular pleasure on hunting people. The only killing we watch him doing was the poor servant at the beginning of the story and here perspective makes all the difference. Judging by the fact that he does it in public and nobody makes a fuss out of it, it looks just like this is just one of the unfortunate ways peasants got 'fired' those brutal days of feudal society, lol.
For all his stares, Seungho apparently only poses a threat to people who actively provoke him. Otherwise he would probably never notice you existed, his contempt for our existence makes him the safest bet to sit by in that bus.
Who would you do? No brainer. Sit by Seungho's side. Just don't disturb his beauty nap and you would be fine.
Sangwoo, on the other hand, would have smiled, flirted with you just to cut your throat the minute later. Then he would stuff your body on the overhead luggage. All that just for the thrill to see if he could get away with it.
