Lima Syndrome

Complete | 밥솥,Babsot | 2000 released

To get this out of the way: This is an extremely interesting story, I love the psychological aspect of it and I will hopefully get to read the rest of the story soon (I heard there's only 7 Chapters in total, so only three left to go). But aside from that: It think it's a little funny how some of the comments say that the title spells out the story for us. That's partially true, yes, but first of all, the so-called »Lima Syndrome« isn't very well known. So I don't know, but I guess it's not something so obvious after all. As a matter of fact, it's so unknown, there hasn't been much research into it, either. So there's that. What I actually want to rag at, though, is the fact that the story doesn't really depict a case of the Lima Syndrome at all, eventhough it's called Lima Syndrome xD Kind of ironic. To be clear: Lima Syndrome is supposed to act as a reversed Stockholm Syndrome. Stockholm Syndrome being the one where the victim of abuse or abduction will start to harbour feelings of some sort of affection toward their captor or abuser. So in reverse, that means you abduct someone or absuse them for the sake of abusing them or reaching your goal by holding them captive, but in the end, you start caring for them, maybe falling in love or sympathize with them on some level, start treating them well and such. For that to be the case, you have to have ill intent or no intent at all, when going into it. If you abduct someone, because you love them in one way or another (and yes, that also is a form of love, a rather selfish one indeed, it's just not one that is socially approved - for obvious reasons), it wouldn't make sense calling it Lima Syndrome, except if you let that person go because you feel for them and realize you can't just keep them. That's something that doesn't seem to happen. I will take my words back, if Heewoon stops his assault on Mooyoung upon realizing how much he hurt him and letting him go (and maybe going to jail or some kind of mental facility for the shit he did all those years). But as it stands, the story is basically about a guy who's so obsessed with another guy, that he's willing to do anything he can. Again, Lima Syndrome is when someone does something to someone else, then starts feeling sympathetic toward them and sets them free or starts treating them better. Not because someone opened their eyes or whatever, but simply because they start feeling something towards their victim. If the feeling towards the victim was the cause of their behaviour to begin with, that doesn't count, because if that was a thing, they wouldn't have put a name on that kind of behaviour only after the incident in the city of Lima, in 1996. And yet again, if Heewoon reversed his ways, seeing how Mooyoung now loves him, but his mind is basically crushed, maybe that would kind of fit the bill, but still, the story in and on itself has nothing to do with it's title. LOL. You may fight me on that if you care.
