Never in my whole life of 16 years (iyyy!! Today is my birthday!!)) Have I thought I will sympathies with the Villain of Unholy Blood.
But here I am. Yohan is living rent free in my head.....not only sympathies, I fucking rooted for him subconsciously. That fucker messed up, but he ended up setting up a well crafted stage where he played the Villain and made Hayan the heroine. That's what he did in my eyes. I don't know if l read in between the lines or people are just blind to see, but whatever he did until the end was a goddamn set up for his grand suicide plan.
I have said it before and I will say it again.
Yohan fucking Seo was a suicidal psychopathic Maniac. You can not change my mind.
That basterd lured the beast knowing full well he will be killed. And he did it deliberately.
Everything from not sending the angel of death in a group to Euntae not finding anything suspicious on Yohan's head office.
He never planned to control the humans turned vampires. Hell they never turned vampires to begin with. He only planned the vaccines. As you can already guess, that fucker lied his way to his death door.
If you have any doubts about my theory, reread the manhwa, there is clearly written that there was nothing in his office that indicates that he was going to hypothesize the public. This is on the last chapter. Euntae admitted this to Vael. In response Vael comments how much of a complicated guy Yohan was. (My fujoshi head jumped into conclusion right after....damn the author for installing my shipper head into a heterosexual romance with homosexual ships, what the fuck...)
The other question-"was he really suicidal or only petty little shit?"
Yes, he was suicidal. It hinted, back to back how much he wanted to die.
From the conversation with Levi on the episode where they had well...you know what I mean...to his repeated dialogues to Hayan, saying only to hate him. Because if Hayan does not hate him, if she becomes soft, he will do the unimaginable. And he will have to weigh yet another guilt through his whole life, there was no one capable of killing him other than Hayan.
In my eyes Yohan was a character who made the world his stage and the people in it his puppet, only to for him to die and give Hayan a normal life. (Liam, is that you...?) I don't know what the author had in her head when writing his character, but whatever she did was fantastic if not only neglected. If only she had focused more on the characters and the story Yohan would have had a better ending. Focused on shipping and fan service had this story going. His character was made to be more complex, it was clear. The author might have neglected while rushing the story with a satisfying ending.(the end was descent, but not anticlimactic like I hope it to be) if you read the story from a different prospective will know what I mean.
As someone who loves graytoned and dark characters with tragic past (and present) I enjoyed Yohan's character more than Hayan, I am ganna be honest here. I really didn't hope him to get such... pitiful ending. His tragedy was overlooked and misread. What pissed me off was the narrative of "because he was abuse, because he the Villain his only ending was to die pitifully by the superior being called 'pure blood'". He was a abused broken kid. He needed councilling not superhuman powers. He already messed up in the head enough, the powers and the railing he got from his bullies made him snap. The thread of sanity he was clinging to was destroyed.
More importantly, the guy only wanted a sorry from his bullies, who did god knows how many awful things to him.
He was no pure blood, he was only a human with the worst situation.
