he has antisocial personality disorder and the criteria for that certain disorder literally says "individual does not abide the social norm" and "individual does not feel remorse in harming himself or others"
so for people who expect wooyeon to change dramatically, drop this story now.
i'm currently reading the book and his current actions are a result of neglect from his parents and it's not just some lame ass reason but they literally threw him to another country so they won't be able to experience the symptoms of his disorder.
and for those people who wiil say that he should go to therapy. therapy does not work for people with ASPD, especially to his case. he did not receive the proper treatment and proper medication when he was a child. his ASPD was for sure diagnosed in his late teens bc the criteria says that the individual must be 18 before the diagnosis so there's a high chance that his symptoms worsen bc of the facade he had when he pretended that he was just a normal dude.
and for those people who will say that he'll change. he won't. his inner monologues still include his thoughts to dominate and inflict pain towards inseop bc he likes seeing him cry.
keep in mind that he doesn't feel any kind of remorse in the thought of killing someone. he's borderline psychopath.
so again, don't expect too much from his character.
He does change towards the end of the story, but it's in his own way. Wooyeon is never going to be the sweet nurturing type, but he will have fleeting moments of kindness and does end up treating Inseop much better.
But I agree that people need to move on to a different story if they are expecting this giant change overnight or expecting him to be sweet all of a sudden.
Agreed. I have never expected him to change, even if the MC hadn't entered ML's life he'd have gone living his psychopathic life his way. And if you look at it, despite knowing his personality the only reason Peter didn't actively want to pursue a relationship with him was that Peter thinks he is responsible for Jenny's death. So if not for Jenny having a one-sided crush on him and dying bc of him, Peter would not mind being with him. Atp, I'm curious about your take on Peter and Jenny's relationship? I personally find it toxic tbh.

Jenny has a two faced personality disorder too but sometimes i think blaming peter for something he didn't do and even that time when she embarrassed him when he was just trying to help was heartbreaking and now look our cutie bottom is so kind to the point that he flew to korea to avenge her even though it wasn't his f Fault

Yeah tbh I don't want to blame Peter too much. But I personally find it very repulsive when two people start competing in love for someone who doesn't even know they exist. I mean, I'd honestly feel bad for Wooyeon if he wasn't a psychopath and was simply dragged in thos mess bc both Peter and Jenny had one sided feelings for him. That would make an interesting story though, Peter being all 'I'm gonna avenge my dead friend' and coming all the way to SK to find faults with Wooyeon and expose him but finding nothing but that he is kind person. It would be fun and light with cat and mouse dynamic.
I actually despise Jenni more than anyone else in this story. She is so manipulative and selfish and knew her death would make Inseop feel guilty both because of her actual death nd because of his feelings for Wooyeon. She took the way out of if I can't have him I'm gonna make sure that no one else that I know gets to have him either and was trying to set up Inseop to fail. If only she knew......

jenny has symptoms of bipolar disorder 1 or the the type of BPD who's violent. she also has issues with people around her so it's most likely she has anxiety too along with her depression
tbh jenny is your usual high school girl with tons of imagination and it became lethal bc her fantasies werre fueled with her manic episodes and extreme desire of being included.
jenny was also manipulative and peter was the perfect person to manipulate bc he sees the best in people.
peter on the other hand shows a borderline obsessive behavior rooting from his lowkey crush towards wooyeon
all in all, they are both victims and perpetratorsto their own lives. jenny just had the upperhand in the manipulation.

Does inseop learn about his ASPD diagnosis?
i haven't read that part but it seems like he is aware that wooyeon is going through something
Slight spoiler:
I just read it, he tells him. Just before the Hawaii incident
i already read that part and i probably skipped it accidentally. thanks! i'll read it again
