Sangwoo is...

So very irrational. I am so surprised that he has come so far without getting caught, his only good quality is his appearance and charm, and I think this is a big theme in the manhwa. Sangwoo can get away with practically anything; suspicious behavior, aggression, defiance, etc. because he has the face and the attitude that allows him to pull it off. Bum can't even walk from point A to point B without being antagonized somehow. I guess it has a lot to do with how people perceive attractiveness.

He reminds me of Quasimodo in a way, although that's a weird thing to say. Anyways, as I was saying. He is irrational because there has never been a sliver of rationality anywhere in his life and he has never really had to utilize it. He was probably never criticized or shamed the same ways Bum was; he likely had a lot of enablers all throughout his life because of his pretty face and popularity. What I find most disturbing is how horribly he resents his father- and yet acts exactly like him. From what I've seen, he's been using Bum as a replacement for his mother, in a way. Or rather, playing the role of the father while assigning Bum to be the mother. It's quite weird.

It makes sense though. I assume that everything he is doing to Bum is something he has seen his father do to his mother; parental behavior is often a big trigger for serial killers such as himself. I don't know if his father ever raped his mother in front of him, but I wouldn't be surprised. It would explain the boner he had when he was thinking about her last season... Little psycho.. In any case, Sangwoo's childhood is a classic case of monkey-see monkey-do.

I love analyzing his behavior. He's such a brat. See you next season, Koogi.
