This story is so good, but why do people want a good ending for Sangwoo? I know Sangwoo has a dark and traumatic past. I know Sangwoo has a mental illness from all that trauma, but no matter what. There are people he killed. Although there are some people he deserved to kill like Bum's Uncle and his own mother, but the women he approached, sexual harassed, and tortured, then the police chief who cared so much about him? Plus the physical and mental torture he did to Bum? Everything he did cannot be justified because of his trauma and mental state. He deserves an ending like that. But for Bum, I hope he can move on, meet someone who is good, caring, and willing to understand him. I hope he can live happily and completely forget Sangwoo i hope The author can create works as good as this, and if possible, don't make it this traumatic
I think what you pointed out just puts into perspective what an amazing job the author did to conceptualize the major themes in this story. In reality, many abusers are often victims themselves before they are anything else, but no experience they might have had will ever “justify” their actions. However, the reader can both acknowledge Sangwoo’s horrific actions and yet at the same time feel sympathy for him as a victim himself. This is the reality of human nature and how we view perspective. Humans often harbor a complex duality when it comes to weighing out the “good” and “bad” of others, and this story really challenges this concept as it progresses and layers on the plot.

I agree that readers can or may sympathize with Sangwoo after what he experienced throughout his life, starting from physical, mental, and sexual abuse that his parents did to him. I also felt sad when I learned about Sangwoo's past and the ending that Sangwoo experienced. However, what I find strange or problematic is the fans who justify what Sangwoo did because of his past, some even hope that Bum dies so he can keep his promise with Sangwoo, where Sangwoo said that if he dies, Bum must die. There are also readers who think that this ship should be able to continue together, even though they or more precisely Sangwoo will continue to commit mental, physical, and sexual abuse against Bum. In my opinion, sympathizing with Sangwoo is a natural thing because from the way the author writes, they wants the readers to sympathize, but that doesn't mean the readers can justify Sangwoo's actions because of sympathy
