Honestly if you've had something unjust done to you, dealing with it in an unjust way isn't going to help. Again, that is just an ideology which doesn't count for shit irl. And the financially independent thing? Truer words have never been said.
So there's this other show I'm watching called "Blind" and it's South Korean, top actors, incredible production, extremely famous among the community...
And it has a lesser rating than this! Shows that this series is amazing, and being truly appreciated for the literal gem that it is. I love this too much to part with it in the coming weeks 😭💔
I totally understand where you're coming from. I also started feeling uncomfortable after I realized this was…
Uncomfortable! That was the word I was looking for. There's no black and white aspects to the show, and I usually don't mind–in fact, I like it when they don't simply villanize/uphold a character. But when it's based on something like this, I don't think it matters that the characters should be morally gray—they did wrong (and it was no small mistake), so punish them for it. Mind you, I'm including in this sentence all those who turned a blind eye to the happenings as well.
Quoting my other comment, "I would totally not mind, and even enjoy such a plot of the victims going berserk–IF it wasn't based on an irl story."
Maybe that was the whole point of them making this drama though? At first, I thought perhaps they were trying to bring light to this horrific case which has mostly gone unnoticed in the global news sphere, but now I'm having second (and maybe third) thoughts. If that was their purpose though, then—excuse my crude language—that is fucked up.

My point exactly. Thanks for putting it in better words.
I would totally not mind, and even enjoy such a plot of the victims going berserk–IF it wasn't based on an irl story. I'm genuinely wondering, what is the message they're trying to convey? What was the purpose of this show? (Considering the fact that the Brothers Home Incident was real)
This might sound like I'm venting, but hear me out: (also does not contain any spoilers)
Nearly a day has passed since I heard about the drama being based on a real life incident, and it's been plaguing me ever since. I dread reading anything related to the incident and feel extremely uncomfortable reading comments about the characters one finds/not/etc. suspicious. (No offense to anyone here btw, no one is doing anything wrong, it's not you it's me) Hell, I myself was one of them up untill recently, when the 13th episode was released.
It sickens me to my core when I think about the fact that simple, innocent children went through these unimaginable horrors and here I was, trying to "find the murderer" and "keep track of the numbered children" and such. To me, it feels like blatant disrespect to the underlying issue—rightfully sentence the offenders—rather than "figure out who's the culprit".
I really don't want to watch the coming episodes, lest I break down into tears over the atrocities of which shots and scenes will probably be shown again. But the irrationally logical side of me says, "This is a drama made for entertainment, not a documentary. Get over it and watch the climax you waited a whole month for. Isn't that why you started it? Besides, weren't you the one enjoying the intricacies of the plot up until a few episodes ago?"
I'm fighting a difficult and raging internal battle right now. I'm slowly regretting ever discovering the incident, or even watching the drama in the first place.
There's also the incident where RSH is shouting at "Jung Yoon Jae" (when they were kids) to not push kid RSJ down from the playground slide, I think "Jung Yoon Jae" meant to flat-out kill him. But it so happened that he lost his memories, so he just waited for him to grow up—his plan is to kill him now along with the rest of them, ig.
And from what we've seen, he doesn't mind murdering those not involved at all (Eun Ki, Yu Na, the bride) so he wouldn't mind RSJ dying as well. I'm thinking he also doesn't really care about anyone in general, seeing how he got rid of An Tae Ho and was going to kill RSH at the hospital. But ATH did betray them, so I'm wondering what RSH might have done for "Jung Yoon Jae" to harbor resentment toward him.
I want his motives though. Even regarding the cook lady, he seems to have a reason to kill her. But why RSJ? Perhaps he's simply bearing the brunt of his mother's actions, or maybe "Jung Yoon Jae" did feel some actual childish jealousy, seeing that RSJ had a relatively better life than theirs.
Lastly, I'm really curious as to how they're going to depict the showdown. I'm assuming JIS, being a master serial killer and planning everything out so well for over 20+ years, certainly won't find the situation rn with the brothers that daunting—he'll probably slither his way out of it somehow. Afterall, we still have 3 whole episodes left. It's the final, FINAL conclusion i'm waiting for. Will everyone, and EVERYONE involved–to the tiniest detail–have their dirty secrets brought to light? Or will everything be buried and JIS's case will be handled separately pertaining to the Hope Welfare Centre incident?
What I don't get is how RSJ has those memories of the forest chase. Maybe his imagination painted the images out for him, from descriptions narrated to him by "Jung Yoon Jae"? There is the fact that he only and only remembers the chase and nothing else that happened at Hope Welfare Centre, so there's a slight possibility that the above is true. Still, it's all only speculation.
I will not deny that I am genuinely horrified by all the gruesome acts that most of the characters don't feel guilty for at ALL, especially hearing the news that the drama might be based on an incident that actually occurred.
The only thing I understood is that fried chicken works everytime.
It's just that I found the capitalization a bit jarring.
And please use the spoiler tag!
P.S. Wow, so her agency denied the rumors even though they are apparently true? Each day I'm reminded of the world we live in. 😔
