Glad I'm not alone, I mean well shit ofc this dude has sad back story just like your every rapist on every webtoons ever.
Thank you, I totally forgot how rapey he was in season one. Now we know his sad past so we must sympathize with him
its not to try and make sympathise with him but more of understand why he is acting this way AFTER the fact. He was once so loved at one point and it all broke apart in an instance. And now he is craving that affection from someone who is so unwilling to reciprocate that they have abandoned him hence why he is so impacted by it. If it wasnt for his back story people might say “he is overreacting.. acting this was after raping that person” which is not untrue but at the same time it opens up to the idea that he has had trauma from loving someone and this isnt an instance where “the person i love doesnt love me back ” but more of “Once again im being abandoned by the person i love”. Not so much on because his feelings arent reciprocated but more so on the fact that he is reopening old ‘abandonment’ scars.
these people want to read backstory to find justification for the character's current actions instead of just reading for context, lol. the most basic thing in the world when reading narratives is just reading things to know what's going on
So I lowkey am not interested in Mokyeon’s backstory, it is sad tho but I don’t see how it will be relevant to the story moving forward maybe it’s the author’s attempt at softening Mokyeon who was a manipulative little shit for the better part of season 1, make him easier to root for kinda reminds me of what they did with Joo Jaekyung in jinx. I can’t wait to see Nanjo tho
