it's really fun to think about. it's not about susceptibility per se—i think dohun retains a certain level of understanding that he's being conditioned by this family but is unable to break the habit of taking the hits. maybe that's why he doesn't dismiss his brother's words quickly, like someone as self-aware as dohun might. here, dohun actually considers hanseop's words because he seems more well-versed in sex, a foreign concept to dohun. hanseop is likewise eager to impart his knowledge because it would shatter the ideal son image that dohun is shaping up to be, and it would put him a peg above dohun. the power dynamics at play are really blatant. i'm SO curious for what's in store, especially the father...
oh wow yeah. for a sec I completely forgot that dohun was brainwashed to always obey them lol I initially thought he keeps himself in the family because they have the recourses to make yuwon happy, not necessarily because dohun wants to. but then again I think dohun would've stayed w them even if yuwon wasn't in the picture... he is just used to enduring everything that comes his way
I like the idea that dohun listened to him bc of that sex experience that he thinks is so important to be happy. maybe dohun wouldn't have been interested in what his brother had to say at all if he didn't speak those keywords. I also can't wait to see what their relationship as adults is like
interesting how dohun is so expressive (compared to his usual) and openly mocks his brother right in front of him. dohun clearly doesn't respect him but still listens to his brother abt the sex thing. is he just that easily influenced? I wonder if it's bc he doesn't know anything that he just accepts it all without question? or if maybe he likes the ideas he hears from his family
anyway we need to find a way to end his family. the fact they still have a hold on him all the way to adulthood should be impossible. bro u need to kill them
