I felt a bit bad for him - but that doesn't excuse any of the pain he caused his brother. Actually I started to wonder if he was mentally ill. If he was hallucinating.
Oh, yes! I don't excuse any of the stuff he did. He's a definite dick. lol. But I just felt so bad for him and his experiences. It's a very relatable life experience for me.
And to what you were saying, I think if he were mentally ill, Jiwook would be depressed or have low self-esteem from the environment he was in. (Or if you were referring to Siwon, he definitely was depressed, had PTSD, and was suicidal - which I DO NOT BLAME HIM FOR)
But I don't think it was an influence of mental illness that makes Jiwook a dick lol. I think it's the environment he was raised in and the causes and effects that bounce back and forth between him and the people around him. Also, it's also his personality. He was not twisted but holding in his feelings and having complex things occur at once caused the distorted image we and he has of himself.
No ships given! Come back when you're a main character Jiwook.
(╬￣皿￣)凸
Am I the only one who feels bad for Jiwook? I know that he did bad and stupid stuff. And I also know that he was someone who lead to his own brother's suicide.
BUT!!!!!!! He's a kid (YES! A KID! A TEEN!) who didn't know what to do. He loved his brother so much but wanted to have his own identity that he continued to hold back his feelings until they exploded.
Yes, sure, he was immature to automatically think that his brother would know what he was thinking. BUT who has good communication skills at that age? I definitely didn't! Maybe he felt that his brother was being stupidly oblivious to the differences of treatment they were getting. IDK...
Yes, sure, it was a dumb idea to hold a grudge towards his brother. BUT doesn't holding a grudge mean that he still wants the attention from his brother? Doesn't wanting to get a reaction from his brother still a call for attention from his brother?
YES, I know that Jiwook is a little twisted but I can't ignore his feelings and experiences. Yeah, he made a dick move. A lot of them. But even seeing that he was trying to copy Joohoon, I thought he just wanted approval from someone.
LOL, I don't know anymore. I might sound angry but I was just trying to explain my own feelings and as someone who kinda felt the inferiority towards a sibling. I know that Jiwook's back story doesn't excuse his behavior and attitude towards his real brother and to Taemin. But I don't want to ignore his story... ahaha but I totally feel the people who still hate Jiwook too.
LOL, this got too long. Thanks for everyone who read it all ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
