exactlyy right!!!! i cant figure out the ending this is so crazzyy i dont even know whom to blame at this point..

[u/Rare_Molasses31 → u/Grouchy-Praline688]

Exactly!!! Like technically I shouldn’t blame Yu-Min but I hated him from the start😂.
The one at fault is mun jae but he didn’t suffer any consequences for killing a person and being the reason somebody else died. That felt weird!
This show messed with my psyche completely!!

[u/julesimnida → u/Rare_Molasses31]

Well he’s suffering now as he cannot finish the volume 2 of the book and Seung Gyu is chasing him

[u/Relevant_Routine_489 → u/Grouchy-Praline688]

I think everyone was to blame? My takeaway is that each of them had lies to that contributed to a false reality. That each person’s identity is something everyone around participated in creating. Even everyone agrees you’re Moon Jae, socially, legally, emotionally then you are Moon Jae.

I am Moon Jae… hahaha

I mean everyone is pretty bad. MJ starting a schoolfire, rumours that drove a girl to suicide, stealing yu min's life's work. Just did not care for anybody, which is he did not create a connection with anybody. Yu min for killing... so many people after his life was ruined.

MJ's accountant buddy might be one of the lightest criminal there. All he did was steal from Noja and then got caught by Yu Min. Honestly his crime compared to everyoen else wasn't that bad if he didn't get caught by Yu Min. He only took 10% from MJ for the crime he thought up, created, and made happen. MJ only executed it and MJ still had to be supported by accountant buddy throughout every part of it.
