#the merciless

[chaos0pikachu]

Korean cinema really had a whole ass era where a pretty young thing with kylie jenner lips would meet a hot older mildly to fully corrupt man who would end up manhandling the fuck outta that twink and I really think we should return to that era

THE BIBLE OF CORRUPTION

[pt.2] [pt.3]

Biography of a villain / Strangers from Hell / Hannibal / Killing Eve / The Worst of Evil / The Merciless

[odetokeons]

between shin ha-kyun having insane chemistry and homoerotic tension with his younger co-stars (see: Beyond Evil and Evilive/Biography of a Villain) and im si-wan having insane chemistry and homoerotic tension with his older co-stars (see: The Merciless and Strangers From Hell/Hell Is Other People), it's only a matter of time until some director decides to make a film/series starring the two of them as lovers

was watching the merciless after watching strangers from hell:

"yeah they have a similar dynamic. yeah one of them's the same actor. but they can't be that similar right-"

and then i hear THAT SOUND

do im siwan's manipulators just get a ball when they're hired or-

[queerbrainrot]

Because I myself struggle to find shows with similar vibe, below are kdramas with:

bromance so thick they might as well have fucked on screen + crime and/or criminals + betrayal and/or trust issues + noir-ish vibes

The Worst of Evil (2023) - show

The Merciless (2017) - movie

Beyond Evil (2021) - show

Evilive (2023) - show

[frances-and-the-moon]

I hope there is another homoerotic antagonism show coming soon because The Worst Of Evil destroyed me, The Devil Judge broke me bc they parted ways, Beyond Evil made me sad bc they parted ways, The Merciless killed me, D.P. also made me sad, can I please for the love of God have a show where the two main characters stay together until the end or do I have to learn Korean move to South Korea and become a screenwriter myself

[dirtydudesmustdie]

If I had a nickle for every time a deranged older convent leader of sorts becomes obsessed with Im Siwan and the idea of turning him into his deranged protege, and actually succeeds and happily gets killed by Siwan, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't much and I need more.

They were lovers in a different universe and they don't even realize 😭😭😭😭😭
