Lauvil's manga / #stalker(8)

Love between a working woman and her stalker. Lol. But he was handsome and rich, so who cares apparently... It was meh.

Kyuyeon pretends to be a girl in an online game, to catfish guys into giving him items. He's been "dating" one guy for 5 months, until he discovers that the guy is one of his classmates. From then on he tries hard to get out of the relationship, only to fall deeper down the rabbit hole. Even when Kimin discovers that Kyuyeon is a guy, he will not let go. Thus starts his tumoultous relationship with a crazy, obsessive guy who doesn't mind using violence and threats to control his lover and those around him... I read up till ch. 19, but had to drop it. I'm just not a big fan of the "handsome stalker" trope. I mean, even the characters pointed out that Kimin only got away with his behaviour because he's handsome... But seriously... He beats up a guy who hasn't really done anything, out of jealousy, threatens his own lover, stalks him and is generally reaaaaally pushy. Doesn't respect boundaries AT ALL. Kyuyeon is also at fault for lying in the first place, but I'm not sure the punishment fits the crime. And it's even worse that he begins to fall for a crazy obsessive stalker like that. Talk about Stockholm Syndrome...
