I think as the son of my baby Jinwoo, a lot of people had this expectation that his storyline would be pretty similar. I like the difference between their personalities. I like that you can TELL while Jinwoo didn’t really have a chance to be a young adult before he got his powers because he had to toil away in dungeons that would get him killed, so much so, that when he does get power he appreciates every aspect of it. When he reverses time to protect everyone, the only greedy thing he ever does is try to have his own life and it’s actually kind of sad. Jinho grew up strong. He was strong as a baby, popular and strong as a teen even without powers, because he had no one to protect to keep living he had no need to endanger himself going in dungeons, and because of all of that when he finally gets into a dangerous life or death situation he’s cocky and he never even gets the chance to be humbled because he gets powers. When they’re weaker than he wants them to be, he acts like a spoiled child, because in comparison to Jinwoo, the boy is spoiled. The symbolism in his power of death being so frail even at the beginning of the story, is powerful. Jinwoo’s shadow abilities were NEVER that weak because he’s been through it and back but also because he IS the shadow monarch. I don’t think Jinho’s abilities will ever really reach his dad’s level and I’m okay with that. I hope he’ll be powerful in his own way to the point where they can be close to equals without Junji relying solely on shadow abilities because I’m gonna be honest…. They don’t really suit him.
