What I find hardest to process is that those initial flashbacks to Bekhee’s childhood were actually his memories of the day his father kidnapped Yang Ilwoo—that his trauma stems not only from the mental and psychological abuse inflicted by his father, but also from the immense guilt he feels for having been unable to save that boy that day.
What if Yang Il-woo didn’t just intend to end the life of Baek-hee’s father—what if he planned to do the same to Baek-hee? He had harbored so much resentment over all those years that it wouldn’t surprise me if he blamed that child—whose name he didn’t even know yet—for ignoring his plea for help that day.
