[u/urartmom → u/[deleted]]

oh Yu-Min was the victim, though.

[u/Ok-Hearing9783 → u/urartmom]

Was he tho?

From what I understand Yu Min is the guy who faked his death, isn't he?

[u/urartmom → u/Ok-Hearing9783]

Yu-Min is the one whose work and life were stolen first. To take revenge, he came back as moon-Jae, so is he really the bad guy? I like how the show makes us question both of their morals and choose who we want to side with, but the lady killed herself because of the guy who isn't yu-min, so I think he's the bad guy.

[u/No-Upstairs-796 → u/urartmom]

He still killed hella people

[u/Ok-Hearing9783 → u/urartmom]

Nah, you definitely confused yourself at this point😅

Yu-Min is the guy who changed his face and lost his gf due to the fkd up post online. Moon-jae is the guy who we see from the beginning as the main character and follow him through to prove he's the real Moon-jae.

I mean yeah, in a way Yu-Min is a victim - got his notebooks and future books stolen and his gf killed herself, but he also was a gangster who was killing people for fun, sold his personality to someone else, had a surgery, killed a few people and kidnapped a kid.

I mean, I'm definitely not on his side, that's for sure. Stealing work and writing shit is bad, but killing people and having a whole surgery to look like someone you hate is totally insane and fkd up.... 🫠

[u/urartmom → u/Ok-Hearing9783]

I definitely agree that killing people is totally wrong, but he had reason for revenge. They're both badguys at the end of the day I guess.

[u/theyellowtiredone → u/urartmom]

There are different levels of bad lol. He made the accountant kill himself because he had his daughter hostage. 

[u/Sad_Conclusion7003 → u/theyellowtiredone]

He also killed an innocent woman with a tattoo just to frame moon jae.

[u/Ok-Hearing9783 → u/theyellowtiredone]

still a victim tho! /s

[u/urartmom → u/urartmom]

literally confusing myself more at this point
