I knew it. The mother was both emotionally and physically abusive sangwoo. Baby sangwoo is so cute.

THEORY TIME!!!!!!

If you have read any of my previous theories, you will know that sangwoo projects his “love” on to yoonbum. In this chapter we get to see formation of sangwoo psyche in terms of his relationships with women and how this informs his relationship with yoonbum.

From this chapter we see that Sangwoo mum aka Eunseo may be suffering really bad mental illness. Though I can’t specified what mental illness it is. She appears to be suffer post parturm disorder. That is, we don’t see her have a motherly attachment with her son. It appears she unable figure out emotionally what to make of sangwoo.

There is different from pretending to care and actually caring. The mother may have a burst of emotions but it stems from the fact that she knew she what she has done or what she is doing is wrong and someone caught her. Also there is a factor of control. It is traditionally viewed that when the baby arrives, the mother give up everything for the child. The child in essence controls the life of mother. So coupled with the apparent domestic violence. Eunseo wants control of her life in some way. We can infer this with juxtaposition between sangwoo dad and Eunseo. The husband is working, moving around his calendar, making the decisions. He is portraying a level of control that Eunseo does not have as she just doing her duties as mother which was doing the laundry and she looks jealous. She tries to reclaim control by having an affair and at first physically control (by getting rid of a source of her entrapment which was sangwoo) and then later emotional control over sangwoo.

How does this translate to sangwoo. Sangwoo is very aware from a very young age that he and his mum are unable to form a emotional connection. They are just living in each other space and playing there respective roles in the household. The only one he appears to emotional relationship is with father and even with that we don’t how much the domestic violence may play a role. As a child sangwoo wants to have a loving family particularly loving mother so he pretends not to notice or overcompensate emotionally to satisfy whatever his mother wants. (which Eunseo exploits). He spends majority of his childhood with his mother as she is the stay at home wife and thus she more able exact her control over him. This in turn made them have an (though abusive) codependency. Eunseo is able to have element of control in her life and Sangwoo gets the mother he think he wants and pretend as though nothing wrong with his family. You can see in many panels sangwoo is always looking at the other reaction when ever showing any emotions or being intimate.

We know that sangwoo had something to do with his father and mother death. My theory is that he and his mother killed the father and he killed his mum unintentionally or in fit of rage. And since his co dependant is dead all his emotions are then put at the forefront and all his anger particularly towards women then become apparent. Most of the victims as he believed wanted to control him or him to be submissive in some way or he thought they thought they were better than him.

Then come yoonbum. Yoonbum is submissive from the getgo and looks a lot and at times acts like his former codependent/mother. Yoonbum is also a man which negate preconceived notions of male dominance exhibited by his father. So through out the series we see that sangwoo switches from dominant/mommy role to the submissive/child role when interacting with yoonbum because emotionally yoonbum is the opposite of everything he understand a person is. Yoonbum is physically weak and mentally fragile but at times emotionally strong and emotionally dominant.

So as stated before, Throughout season 3, we see sangwoo being very affectionate towards yoonbum. Taking him on trips, buying him stuff and not just generally blowing up at him. This mirrors his relationship with his mother except mentally Sangwoo switches from playing the child role to playing mother role and vice verse depend on state of mind. However right now sangwoo doesn’t know what his relationship with yoonbum is.

When he wants comfort and security he assume that child role and his emotion are all over place. He wants yoonbum to be the caring mother. When he want control and dominance he assume the mother role and control yoonbum as his mother did to him.

But yoonbum can’t really satisfy all those aspects because he is not Eunseo and that why yoonbum keep failing all these tests that sangwoo has for him. However, yoonbum often surprises sangwoo with actions that he takes which make sangwoo want him even more because of how he defies his world view. Sangwoo both want yoonbum because how much he like his mother and also how much he isn’t like his mother.
