However, does being “Attached” to someone mean that they love them in the same way Sangwoo and Yoonbum love each other? Look, I could be wrong with my random accusations, and I understand, I’m way too young to be reading KS in the first place to understand much, but I was and still am wondering if Sangwoo ‘loves’ Yoonbum. This review is valid for the first season (19 chapters) of Killing Stalking. Overall I think this project is really impressive and I hope next season won't ruin everything that has been built up until now. Nozomi98 Jan 9, 2017. Goodness, where do I start? First of all, this is a highly intense manhwa.

Gosh. I don't even know. I was never weak to gory or psychological stuff, but this has got me bad!
Visually, the first thing you see in chapter one is good art (i.e. normal proportions, detailed clothing), nothing too AMAZING for a webtoon nowadays. But it's dark. Literally. Nothing saturated and orange-y like Cheese in the Trap. Everything is pale and gray. Again, nothing too strange for a webtoon, since a lot of them (besides romance) tend toward more wash-y colors.
Nothing is strange until..BAM! You get hit with this Levi-haircut, sleep deprived dude who looks suspicious AF. (Funny story, I was avoiding this for a while because I thought the cover was for a Levi X Erwin AOT dj.) NOW it's unique. It's not afraid to make its main character look like a loser who has been living in the sewers (which are somewhat clean) and feeding off tiny rat-skewers. He looks scrawny; his clothes are sloppy; and he looks haunted.
And it's not only that the MC is a loser, it's the fact that the artist had the confidence to hit us with a creepy and loser-ish MC that lures us in. What about this story will be addicting? Obviously not the beautiful characters. The artist has an ace up their sleeve, and we want to know what can make such a grotesque MC likeable.
Now to the actual writing. I swear. This is what got me. Same-old 'I have an unrequited love, but a certain condition makes me unable to confront the person I like' hook with the narration. First twist: they stalk their love interest on the internet (like we have all done once). Second twist: the speaker is a man who likes another man. Okay, we went in knowing there was going to be some *ahem* stalking going on, and we'd know it was a BL if we read the tags.
But wait, the second twist hits us late, because the panels show a GIRL instead of our MC (to trick us, I suppose), but this seems almost too heavy-handed. It is, but it somehow works. We are forced to ask ourselves this, 'if it's not that creepy when a girl stalks her crush on social media, why is it creepy when a guy does it?' Double standards. So, now it's not creepy when a guy stalks his crush on the computer. And then we're hit AGAIN. We learn that our MC stalks his crush in real life. Okay. This is creepy no matter who does it. I believe that this sort of thing is what gives Killing Stalking the whole 'roller coaster' feel. The author misleads us a bit too obviously; they give us what we knew they were hiding; and then they hit us with another surprise that leads us to question our assumptions.

The story starts developing when Bum decides to enter Sangwoo's house when he's away, finding out that the man Oh portrays to the world has nothing to do with reality. The moment the house owner discovers that Bum broke in and saw what he's been hiding, he decides to hold him captive. Despite being an object of affection for Bum, Sangwoo abuses and tortures him.

Characters[edit]

  • Yoon Bum (윤범)

Yoon Bum is the main character of Killing Stalking. Due to his parents dying when he was little, Bum was given to his grandmother and uncle with the latter severely abusing, raping and starving him, making Yoon Bum a lifelong abused victim due to also getting bullied in school, getting sexually abused and raped in military and Oh Sangwoo abusing him in several ways as well. Getting little to no affection from anyone, Bum frequently cut his wrists due to loneliness and gets attached to those who show him affection, making him a sensitive person. Central to Yoon Bum's character is his obsessive love for Oh Sangwoo, a university classmate with whom he serves in the military. Due to the requirement for mandatory military service in Korea, Bum receives affirmation of his enlistment after his first semester of college, despite his previous presumption that his low body weight would exempt him from active duty. He is ostracized in his unit, and his commander attempts to rape him. He is later told that the attempt was stopped by Sangwoo and it led Bum to see him as a savior. When Yoon completes his military service, he sees Sangwoo with a girl, ending up in despair as he now thinks Sangwoo is straight. Bum's 'crush' transforms into an obsession, perhaps fueled by the fact that he has Borderline Personality Disorder and Sangwoo was one of the first persons who, in Bum's eyes, showed him affection by saving him. Although he attempts to deny his feelings of attachment toward Sangwoo, Bum is unable to stifle them and 'wouldn't be able to forget as easily as before.'

  • Oh Sangwoo (오상우)

Oh Sangwoo is the second main character of Killing Stalking, the Antagonist. He is a classmate of Yoon Bum after Bum enrolled college for 4 years and is enlisted in the same military unit as him. He saves Bum from an attempted rape by his superiors, which causes Sangwoo to become the object of Bum's obsessive affections. Sangwoo is frequently seen in the company of female admirers for his good looks. He adopts a 'happy, energetic' face and is shown to be often smiling, even when making eye-contact with strangers in social surroundings. During his time in the university, he appears to be an extroverted person with a large circle of friends. According to Bum, he attracted many with his 'empathetic, considerate, gentle aura'. These traits, however, mask his true psychopathic, violent and sadistic characteristics. Sangwoo is actually a cruel and ruthless individual who shows no mercy to his victims, that, he's totally fine with beating and torturing his victims, even if they're female or pleading for their life. He's highly narcissistic and looks down on everyone, pretending that he actually cares for others, only to strike them with honest hostility when he feels like it. His emotions, when facing his victims, alternate unpredictably between fake mercy and violent hostility. When speaking to established acquaintances, he teases them in a light-hearted tone, and is not above making better acquaintances with strangers by doing so. Around his victims, he utilizes demeaning, harsh expletives, berating them with slurs. He tortures his victims slowly, yet with a certain pace, selecting to also manipulatively coddle them with simpering words and conduct before returning to his brutality. He appears to favor female victims, though not hesitant about males, either, despite having not murdered a man since his father's death in high school.

Killing
  • Yang Seungbae (양승배)

Yang Seungbae is a former investigator who has been demoted to patrolling police officer. As is noted by his superior, he appears to pry too much into investigations and trusts his (usually accurate) intuitions even when lacking evidence. Dutiful and prone to skepticism, he often second-guesses others' conclusions. These traits prove to be detrimental, as they cost him his position on the investigation team. Three years earlier, he had looked into the murder of Oh Sangwoo's parents. Though the case was declared cold, he investigated further and became suspicious of the assumption that the culprit was a burglar, finding the evidence of a break-in too convenient. This left him apprehensive of Sangwoo's character.
