I read this in one sitting, and 5 hours later, I don’t even know how to feel. I have never been subjected to so much emotion by a manhwa before. I’m not even exaggerating in the slightest when I say that I went through literally every single emotion known to man. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I cried or threw my phone onto the ground in anger (just to go pick it up feeling silly…) The story was damn heavy until the very last chapter. All I can say is I respect the fuck out of the true soldiers who stuck with this emotional rollercoaster of a story while it was still ongoing, cuz it would’ve definitely put me in my grave.
Does the special 12.5 chapter have any canon part regarding Hosu’s DID? His 5yo self seems to be akin to the bubbly version of Hosu, yet in chapter 13, the “primary” Hosu says he was there before the bubbly version. Just wondering
I know people with DID so I’m just going to based off my observations, but DID is recorded to often present itself differently for people and I don’t have a personal experience of this disorder so I can be totally wrong. But from my understanding, it makes sense that Hosu was his bubbly as a 5 year old. Since the disorder occurs by disassociating the personality into different identities to cope. There’s usually a primary personality, but there’s no original self because these identities are fractured off once was a whole personality. Identities can develop different interests and preferences, but their base-line self comes from the same core. Disassociating is essentially being on autopilot, so the dissociative identity disorder is being on autopilot very long that it develops a new ego(s).
Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, it’s the first time I’m actually putting my observations of this disorder into a cohesive explanation. I’m also not in a psychological field so someone with actual academic knowledge, please correct me.









Chapter so short it could’ve been a text message
