I’m tired of seeing people criticize this work because it is a romanticization of rape and abuse. IF IT WAS A ROMANTICIZATION, THERE WOULD BE ROMANCE. I fully believe that people who don’t acknowledge the deeper meaning of this story, aren’t capable of being empathetic. This story wouldn’t hit home if it ended with Minho leaving for good and living happily. That harsh hitting feeling of loneliness that people feel when they have nothing is so clear in the writing. I love this work because I cry to it, I feel how the characters feel. OBVIOUSLY Wookyung is a horrible person, and he became a horrible person because of how he was raised and his life experiences. Through the Minho’s suffering he was forced to see the reality. I’m never going to sympathize with Wookyung as a person, but redemption is always better than nothing at all. Seriously, if you hate this work JUST for the obvious, then you have a lack of literacy. Why read a psychological if you don’t like psychological? Of course, everyone has an opinion, I just wish more people expressed the deeper emotional meaning of this story and the fact it resonates that emotion so well. Well, thanks for reading my long rant.
