It’s interesting that many many people still think PBIO is a typical kdrama with literal villains and heros. Sang-tae is not the villain here. This show is all about psychological disorders - where it’s OKAY to not be okay. These disorders are the antagonists of the show, and PBIO is working on showing how these antagonists do not need to be killed, but rather faced head on, as KMY said in the very beginning. Which is why as heart-breaking and devastating as that last scene was, I guarantee you it’s a huge turning point for Gang-tae because it will have pushed him towards the ‘facing his tauma’ side rather than suppressing it like he has his whole life.

So hating on Sang-tae for what he did ain’t gonna cut it. Also just taking a second to think from Sang-tae’s perspective, almost drowning with your brother not saving you is definitely traumatic. It’s a traumatic moment for them both. So you really can’t blame ST for bringing it up - hearing your brother say he wants you to die? And almost letting it happen?

And we also know ST left GT behind to drown as well. So we can’t deny the obvious fact that ST is holding GT back, knowingly or unknowingly. And while people have many descriptors for this relationship, it’s not Sang-tae’s fault. This is a relationship between two brothers, a family, a bond that can’t be broken. So let’s face it, there is no way GT can just leave ST without entrusting him to someone - someone who would spend the rest of his/her life with him, or a care facility. And I’m convinced GT would never leave ST at a care facility because 1. he loves his mother and his mother has always told him to care for ST and 2. him leaving ST to almost die was so traumatic for him that he wants to live while doing everything in his power to reverse this the best he could.
