heard about this for a while, not sure if it's actually happening. i dont know if this will be mainstream/big budget, and if it is, i dont know how far theyll take the dark themes, considering sexual violence is such a prevalent part of the source material. the only way i can see this working is if they have a larger budget and are able to make this as disturbing as the webcomic, with clever editing and innuendo.
just please for the love of god i hope they dont market it as a bl, like they did with the webcomic. yes it does have gay characters and yes it does have gay content in it but 'bl' gives the insinuation of romance to new/general viewers when there is none in the comic. just labeling it as psychological horror and lgbtq+ is enough. i know its just semantics but semantics are important when the webcomic's success was based upon a large group of people who romanticized/fetishized/justified the relationship.
From how I see it, in a way killing stalking is a bit of a romance. Sangwoo and Bum have an extremely toxic Relationship…
not romance in the slightest, their relationship is very onesided. bum was obsessed with him and sangwoo just had a mommy complex in which bum looked like his mother and sangwoo liked to see him(her) in pain.
its definitely a hate it or love it kind of deal, it started off rocky but surprisingly i enjoyed this a lot. i feel like it did meh in the relationship development category, since cheating, blackmail and revenge p*rn are NOT things that can be forgiven in 10 days time. i couldnt understand ritsu's character very well (i understand he doesnt have a good understanding of healthy relationships due to his family life, but in the first episodes we've seen that ritsu CAN and DID treat masumi right in the beginning. if you loved him, why did you have to hurt him to the extreme in the first place???) but i will say he was a bit redeemed for me at the end, if only for masumi's sake.
if youre looking for logical, healthy relationship with a thorough plot, this is not for you but i think its's good for a light watch that makes you feel a lot of emotions (primarily anger towards ritsu, lmao).
i do have a question tho: will jeff and barcode be speaking korean in this or is it gonna be a peach of time situation?
