Korea is one of the few countries that I've seen romanticizing the cluster b family (Narcissist, Sociopath, Psychopath etc)
Spoiler ahead.
If you've ever watched Itaewon class, you'll know that one of the female main character was given the role of a sociopath and i think that the depiction of sociopathy is done pretty well
but what i dont understand is why they ended up romanticizing her.
Why?
They've done a pretty great jobs at portraying a sociopath so i thought they would know that there's no cure for a personality disorder.
for the most part of the story, i kept on watching in hope that park seojun character will not end up with her but toward the end of it.... it was so hard for me to watch, it was almost disgusting.
sociopath is not a kinder version of psychopath, they're just a sloppier version of it. The intention are the same.
and the male main lead, park seojoon character made the other female main lead wait for 15 years saying that he like her and will be with her after the revenge but she literally got stood up because the male lead somehow like the sociopath right at the end of the story.
Not that soo ah is a good person but he warranted it saying that she could do anything and its okay because she's just doing her job but then..
I can't be the only one that think it's a very fucked up ending.
It's not because of the love story but it's because it's a sociopath.
And apparently I'm not because after EP 14 the viewership dropped because it's clear then that he like the sociopath.
Itaewon class started good but with a very bad ending. Not worth it especially with that kind of misleading message.
Pls dont romanticize the cluster b family.
