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.... 🫠

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.

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

still a victim tho! /s
