in the original webtoon, jun-seo’s real “trigger” isn’t moral outrage or any concern for public safety. it’s her pregnancy. when he learns that ah-jin used him to get pregnant and then passed his child off as someone else’s, that’s the moment he unravels. the drama translates this motivation differently but preserves the core psychology: jun-seo is a coward in the sense that he cannot tolerate losing ownership of the narrative—or of ah-jin. he doesn’t want justice, and he doesn’t want accountability. he wants exclusivity. he wants her to need him, and he frames this desire as “saving” her because that is the only way he can justify his own obsession to himself.

Very very wrong : junseo is actually the psycho of the drama and story is from his lens :


I honestly think this show was fundamentally telling a different story from what we expected in episode 1 and what’s in the manhwa. Jun-seo never really saw or understood Ah-jin. That “documentary” misrepresented her completely and was clearly designed to ruin her.. but not so she couldn’t hurt people anymore. That’s just what he claimed. Because if that was his interest, he could go to the cops so she could face justice for her actual crimes. But he didn’t do that. Instead, he wanted to make her dependent on him so he could be the one to control her, which is what he explicitly said in the car. He viewed it as him saving her but that was him lying to himself.

And also, does it even make any sense that he decided to go that far because of what Jae-ho did? He knew it was Jae-ho’s conscious decision and the show goes out of its way to make it clear he wasn’t coerced. And after being married, what did Ah-jin actually do wrong that wasn’t her trying to protect herself from someone who was determined to break her? Jun-seo didn’t do it for any noble reason; he did that because he wanted to be the one to control Ah-jin, as he himself admitted.

And when you think about it- isn’t he the true sociopath of the story? And I mean that just in terms of the clinical definition and not their actions. But isn’t he the one who couldn’t genuinely engage with Ah-Jin and make her laugh like Jae-oh did? Who couldn’t connect with Re-na (versus Ah-jin who actually did connect with In-gang)? When did you ever see him genuinely smile? Over the course of the show, Ah-jin showed more emotions than he did for sure.

And then there’s the part where we as the audience realize that this whole framing of Ah-jin as a sociopath is something that Jun-seo himself created from the documentary that was shown at the beginning of the series. It’s not actually based in fact or from any actual direct evaluation by a psychologist.

Now did Ah-jin do many terrible things that she should be held accountable for? Yes without a doubt. But I think any inconsistencies in the story or characters were very much intentional because Jun-seo, who was the source of much of our understanding of her, is an unreliable narrator who never truly saw her. so with that in mind, the ending blew me away and I thought this show was excellent. but I think if I’d read the manhwa first, I would have had a hard time because it seems the stories are very very different.

Actually junseo was the real psycho of the story in this drama :

Actually in drama unlike webton… junseo is the real psycho of the story !

ultimately, dear x functions as a broader commentary on narrative authority—specifically, on how men attempt to author women’s stories, women’s identities, and even women’s bodies. jun-seo’s fixation is not just personal but symbolic: he believes he is entitled to define ah-jin, to interpret her motives, to claim her body, and to determine the moral framework through which others perceive her. the drama systematically exposes and dismantles that entitlement. ah-jin is unquestionably an antihero, but she is one whose actions reveal the underlying power structures that enabled jun-seo’s control in the first place. in both the webtoon and the adaptation, her resistance—however destructive—becomes a rejection of the very idea that her story can be authored by anyone but herself.

Opinion of someone:
Actually the real monster/ psycho of the story is junseo in the Dramaaaa not webtoon :
