People compare this to KS bc both semes are (super) hot and psycho, both ukes are small defenseless victim (even tho bum was super problematic but like, he was small, and pitiful and couldn't fight for himself, such as Nakyum) and both relationships are toxic af.
And Stockholm syndrome too
You can't say for real that abuse, rape and torture can be a punishment for entering Sangwoo's house. Bum never deserved that even if he wasn't completely innocent. Neither of them deserve what they suffered, remember that Bum became a stalker because of all the childhood abuse and for an untreated mental illness
Ok, I'm not going to sit here and type a huge paragraph about KS. What I am saying is that Bum stalked Sangwoo and ended up in his house of a murderous sociopath. I never said that Bum deserved it. He did put himself in that situation. And we can go back and forth but you won't change my mind. Nakyum was living his life and Seungho took him off the street to paint for him and pretty much forced him to do it, when he did not want to and has mentally, sexually, and physically abused him for 62 chapters.
Bum didn't put himself in the situation to be mentally, physically and sexually abused either.
What's so messed up about this is that Nakyum didn't do anything to deserve this. People like the compare this to Killing Stalking for some reason (I don't know why) but think about it. Bum was a stalker that sort of put himself in the situation with Sangwoo. Nakyum was just content with being a drunk and just happened to be talented and his biggest fan is a hypersexual psychotic lord that took him. I think that is what bothers me so much. That Nakyum isn't the same as Seungho. He isn't psychotic or murderous. He didn't do anything to continued to be abused over and over.
