mentally ill ppl deserve love too
Ive seen an absurd amount of reviews headlining that kelvin's redemption arc was unnecessary. The response to Yesterday has proven once again that this generation of viewers lack the capacity to handle and appreciate complex characters. Kelvin has bipolar disorder, one google search should suffice in informing you about the condition - unstable sense of self, distorted view on reality, inability to regulate emotions, leading to intense mood swings that fuel abusive behavior towards oneself and others which in the moment does not register as abusive to the person with bipolar disorder.
“I dont know how to love you” - ep 9 (39:30) to me just cements that Kevlin is unsure whether he has the ability to express his love to Vier in a healthy manner. Does he deserve to be forgiven? Yes absolutely, given his circumstances as well as if you stand in his shoes. Bankrupting Vier and his entire family in his pursuit of power was justified in HIS eyes because 1. Only then would he have avenged himself and his mother as well as achieve his goal 2. In his eyes, his power is Vier’s power therefore the more power he had the more he can give Vier. He held Vier hostage in a fit of rage, understandable bc if my fine shyt ran off for months id lose my mind and lock them up as soon as i saw them again. Was it right? No. Do I understand, hell yes. I think people are forgetting that after a while ( i believe on the 3rd day) he let him go after it clicked to him that just maybe Vier didn't appreciate being chained up and the attempted sexual assault. Vier choose to stay, they were living together and as deluded and sick Kelvin was he truly wanted the best for Vier (reference him getting Vier a psychiatrist). In the final ep everyone was quick to jump on the "Kelvin need to be punished" bandwagon without truly having some compassion. "When people truly love each other there are no mistakes, its about whether or not your willing to forgive" encapsulates the answers on why Vier acted towards Kelvin the way he did and honestly FortPeat did an amazing job. I wished there was less focus on the side couple and more focus on Vier and Kelvin but i truly appreciate the care and attention that was put into Kelvin's character and his relationship with Vier
