The story is disgusting but why do I want to read more?? And why the helll would u fall in love with the guy that broke ur freaking ankle!!! This guy bum is worse than Crap but it's interesting at the same time { A stalker = a killer fall in love when the killer holded the stalker as a prisoner!!! Damn this is so messed up but a good story.
Bum knows that he shouldn't love Sangwoo and he's shown to be struggling with his feelings. He doesn't like the abuse but can't let go of that idolized image of Sangwoo. Not saying his obsession is healthy or normal but being close to Sangwoo is something he wanted for a while and now he has it. I think Bum's feelings towards Sangwoo is like a celebrity crush and not true love. Being held captive is pretty traumatizing and his prior mental illness does not help the situation so it's understandable if he has a distorted vision of love. Sangwoo also manipulates Bum into making him believe he loves him. Bum is pretty messed up but he can get help if he manages to escape from Sangwoo. All hope is lost for Sangwoo though, nothing will fix his problems.
I'm am not an individual with severe borderline personality disorder and a history of stalking so I don't know how I'd react in that situation. It's not something I can relate to. I form my opinions based on the character's background in a fictional world and not something in reality.
You have to take into consideration the past experiences of the characters. There's a reason why they act the way they do and putting myself in the situation does not help me understand the story. It's not a story about a mentally healthy individual somehow ending up in a guy's basememt. Bum's obsessive stalking and mental illness is very important to the situation.
If it were me it'd be a very different story. The situation would not happen and the title would just be "Killing". Bum was not captured he broke in, I would never do that. But let's say I did, I am female and have none of the characteristics of Sangwoo's victims, he'd probably kill me and keep the other woman alive. But let's say he didn't, I'm asexual so I'd in no way be attracted to Sangwoo or anyone else for that matter. My life experiences are so different. See how silly it is for me to judge it that way?
I should not butt in (but I am going to)--I apologize for being nosy. But it seems like A is keeping a healthy distance between fiction and real life. I don't think your "what if" fantasies are real life either, but not everyone likes to play those head games.
But if it ever comes to a sad real life situation, I do think it's hard to judge from the outside, and whatever people do to survive is probably the best they could do given the situation at the time.
The ending was adorable
The rings they got for each other was so cute
