if we rely on sangwoo's earlier flashbacks we could think the dad was the fcked up one but it was the mom, the one he has issues with :-) and the one he got all those how-to-get-away-with-murder tips from but you all claimed i was wrong for saying sangwoo is unreliable, when he clearly was protecting her mom by painting his dad as the bad guy~
so in chapter 47, we see what happened after DG left from alex's pov... he even does the broadcast and searches for DG's username and he finds out he’s deleted the account... then alex is basically trying to convince himself that he only likes DG's body, because the sex is good, that it’s pure lust... then he’s at the gym and sees a dude as DG (because of how eager DG used to talk to him) and he realizes that.... he actually likes DG more than just his body (and he realized it after DG 'left' him (those are his actual words)) and at the end of the chapter he’s actually phoning DG...
Alex please....
wait for ch 48, it's gonna be so good!!!
what i'm actually concerned about is that neither bum nor sangwoo are reliable narrators, both are unstable so how can we tell if what we’ve seen so far it’s actually all /reality/ instead of /illusions/... i’m not denying the whole story, just some parts that could pretty much be explained as made up, especially considering how sangwoo has mistaken bum as his own mom (he could pretty much have a distorted reality)
You're right. But I also think a lot has been shown from Bum's perspective, especially in the first season. Sangwoo's perspective is still a bit sketchy because I think the author doesn't want to reveal his motives just yet. It's sad if you re-read from the beginning and see Bum's mental state steadily decline. As readers, we don't know if what we're seeing is real or a figment of someone's psychosis. Maybe that's Koogi's intention. All we know is that they aren't right in the head. Seungbae has even had his moments where he seemed out of the loop. At this point, any theory is plausible.
not really...it's been pretty consistent so far. there's no chance of that happening...everything is being told from a third person's pont of view (as an outsider looking in). the moments you describe (when we see what Bum or Seungbae see) are just used to buid suspense or to shock us...there's no way that some parts of the story are sudenly gonna turn out to be illusions or made up. that is clearly noot this author's style...
well damn you went off... i think you took my point the wrong way, considering i was just talking about sangwoo's hallucinations, it wouldn’t be too far fetched if some of the stuff he has shown us via his memories are made up or distorted
mental illnesses is a theme very apparent in this story and some MI include having hallucinations as part of the symptoms so yeah me thinking about it isn’t lame or stupid like you’re claiming
you can disagree with it, the name calling isn’t necessary
thanks for supporting my point! what i said in my previous comment is that it’s not far-fetched to think something doesn’t add up, because honestly both sangwoo and bum aren’t 'normal' people, so they could be sugarcoating stuff (bum) or just imagining things are x way when it wasn’t exactly that (sangwoo)
if the author wanted to make something realistic they should take into account the symptoms of mental illnesses, because yeah no normal person would be into killing or stalking lol
<spoiler> so in chapter 45, they go to an alleyway and talk, DG says he’s sorry and alex tells him that if he has sex with him one last time, he will apologize and accept DG's apology, DG agrees... when having sex DG tells Alex off, that he will prepare himself and to give him the gel and then alex, aroused, puts his hand over DG's and thrusts the fingers inside... then DG tells alex to do it quickly to which he gets pissed off... and then i couldn’t grasp what’s about to happen next
sangwoo, who’s clearly someone with mental illnesses, is overlapping his mother's image in bum... at times i believe he thinks bum is actually his mother but then when he comes back to reality he gets mad and treats bum like shit again... in my opinion the resemblance between bum and his mother is meant to prove how obsessed sangwoo is over his mom, since one of the main themes of this manga is mental illnesses/obsession sooo it would make sense
was after his brother but since he's hetero, he took advantage of alex instead..... that would crash anyone
