I'm actually surprised that Seongjoo's(?) family line has continued until this era despite the curse that they have, you'd think ever since back then, one of those descendants will be like "the family bloodline will end here because I won't subject my children from the curse" or something. It's not like in Demon Slayer where they have a purpose for continuing.
Even if the excuse is they are gambling that one of those children will survive the curse, you don't really want to see children dying just to see that probability happening.
I don't know if I missed something or misinterpreted but how did even Seongjoo's parent able to survive the living up to 20 yr old curse if the family is almost guaranteed to die? Or is that selected who'll get cursed? Then shouldn't Seongjoo being an exception shouldn't be really a big deal? (I meant them being overprotective)
Okay so I had to go recap the story. Here is the explanation:
1. The origin of the current Seo (Uke) Clan and Kim (Seme) Clan comes from two female best friends. I will call them the Seo and Kim Matriarchs. A long time ago, Chapter 1-4 explains that the Seo Matriarch committed a crime against nature and was cursed by a vengeful ghost. This curse followed her descendants and before reaching their 20th birthday, they are like evil spirit magnets. Bad luck follows them and evil spirits make them experience accidents that can injure or cause their deaths.
2. The Kim Matriarch was a shaman with spiritual powers and the friend of the Seo Matriarch. To protect the Seo Matriarch from the curse, the two friends built identical looking houses right next to each other that could trick evil spirits and misguide them. Due to this friendship, the two clans have continued coexisting with the Kims protecting the Seos.
3. Flash forward to the present day, The Kim's have 3 children. The Seos also have 3. Kim Muheon is the oldest and basically tries to lookout for the Seo twins. However he is still young and not an official exorcist. The Seo twins are 19-20 years old. The Sister dies right before she reached that 20 year old mark where she would have escaped the curse. The Seo brother also dies similarly. But if a Seo descendant were to safely survive pass 20, they would no longer have to fear the curse.
4. Our Main Character is not under the curse. He was born on a day without any evil spirits so basically he is a really lucky child unlike his older siblings. He didn't need THAT much protection.
5. The Seo household is one of the safest places. It has centuries of seals and protections. The Seo Clan is also really successful and rich. They fund the shaman association to protect them. That's why the Kim Clan has so much influence in the association. The Seo Clan is financially backing the Kim Clan. Our Main Character is a valuable person due to being the sole heir of this mass fortune. He is a future sugar daddy for the association.
Idk how i missed that this one is not yet complete. Anyways I'll get back when I see both that doctor and hanshit dead
