So, I’ve watched Trigger and am now deep in the obsession 💀
I need to hear anyone and everyone’s thoughts/feelings on the main two (Lee Do’s sad but very competent loser aura has bewitched me body and soul ✨)
Soooo, I have a couple questions/thoughts I’d love to probe your brain over:
How would you characterize Moon Baek’s obsession with Lee Do?
Do you think Moon Baek’s behavior and ideology is solely influenced by his upbringing or some part of his inherent psychology?
Assuming Moon Baek somehow didn’t know about Lee Do’s backstory and trauma, how do you think he’d react ?
I imagine a world where instead of world where, after the death of his family, Lee Do is taken by the same organization/people who took Moon Baek. Meeting under their circumstances, how would you see there relationship develop?
Anyway! Apologies for bombarding you with questions!
Thank you so much for sending this lovely long tough ask haha. My analytical brain never works well so my answer can be really short so sorry in advance 😂 Btw I also adore Lee Do's loser aura lol.
1. Moon Baek's obsession with Lee Do
The most obvious answer is that Moon Baek saw Lee Do as his equal. He never had that his whole life. He approached Lee Do with intention but I think that intention is finding a true partner and he seems truly enjoyed the times he had with Lee Do. But the more Moon Baek knew about him the more his heart crushed. Then the obsession became toxic and went downhill form there. After being rejected by his crush all Moon Baek want to do was to hurt Lee Do, "everything you don't want to do I will do it, everything you despise I will become it".
2. Origin of Moon Baek's behaviour and ideology
My most logical answer would be: fucked up past -> fucked up psyche. Lee Do and Moon Baek, they both have messed up past but Lee Do is different because he has a pull while Moon Baek never had that in his life only a push.
3. What will happen if Moon Baek didn't know about Lee Do's trauma and backstory
Oooh what a tough question 😂 This could be an interesting alternative universe fanfic. Anyway basically there will be no approach no first meet amirite lol. But still, Moon Baek saw how Lee Do's act in hostel shooting and he was impressed. If they were together without knowing about each other's stories, there will so much more curiousness(?), Moon Baek will be like "Oh that guy seems interesting and mysterious I want to meet him and talk to him more", it will back to canon but maybe they will talk more and become even closer until everything broke. What I love about Lee Do is he's a quite person but when he talked he talked with his heart ❤️
4. Imagine Lee Do was in the same organization with Moon Baek and their meeting
Wow, this also could a really great AU (sorry I read hundred fanfics a day my brain is rotten 🥲). They met in the organization or in Korea? If they met long before canon, I genuinely think Lee Do could be Moon Baek's pull, they could make each other better...or worse because the inner trigger was still there. Our antagonist could have a redemption arc and our protagonist with a corruption arc. This could be a really good story, we Kdrama watchers know how bad their obsession with "first meet when they were young" or "decade ago first meet" is like lmao.
Yay now my brain is fried. Sorry if my answers have a bit of shit talking, just my habit i cannot be in serious mode for too long 😂😂
