i'm so happy that they continue to give 'cold light' villains to kim nam gil's protags!
pt. 2: parallels between kim hong-sik and moon baek that i've found after finally watching trigger.
boy oh boy, just look at my twins separated at birth:
second in command in the Big Bad's syndicate (the same Big Bad that took him in when he was young);
funny af, but also MAD SCARY when you think for more than 3 seconds about what they actually do for a living (being a head of the international crime syndicate when you're only 35+ is like super young);
brand ambassador for guns/drugs;
scars here and there and everywhere (that poor body has been to hell and back);
can't kill the mc because he's having too much fun with him!
wanted by interpol + interpol doesn't know how he looks;
people doubt you? go and kill that random cop/gangster at the introduction meeting to assert dominance and make them listen (and scared);
immediately clocked that mc is a murder machine just like himself (and it was the beginning of the end lol);
✨jewelry✨ (can me a magpie the way i want to steal it all!);
silk and velvet in the wardrobe, the more the better (what is up with you two and silk robes?);
lives in the giant penthouse;
uses civilians to distribute/create the merchandise;
local law enforcement can't do shit about him and his enterprise;
very good at pretending to be just a silly guy;
'i'll change this place for the better, you just wait' (their idea of better is very...ugh...not really better);
refuses to listen to his own people:
p: 'he's going to be a problem. let's kill him.'
mb/khs: don't fucking touch him.
p: shit is not going as planned, we need to wrap everything up and get the fuck out before it's too late.
mb/khs: NOPE!
left a gun as a gift to make do/hae il's life WORSE;
got pissed af because his big spectacle was ruined by do/hae il;
have i said murder? lots of MURDER. and a broken heart.
tragedy, tragedy, tragedy.
morons: 'well, SoUtH kOrEa Is A cIviLizEd CoUnTrY!!!'
them: IS IT THOUGH??? doesn't look like that to me. at all. from where i stand, it's corrupt and broken. civilized my fucking ass.
in conclusion, that's still me:
kim nam gil and his villains man...
