What if Painter of the Night is about legitimate son Seungho his half brother, son of concubine Inhun, fighting for lowborn Nakyum's attention but NK hates noble ppl so IH is a little bit confident bc he's half lowborn but still insecure of his brother bc SH is HOT, smart, famous
Wanting to punch this man's face is my all day mood BUT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO SMART AND HOT AT THE SAME TIME YOU ASSHL WHY AM I A SIMP FOR SMART DUDES WITH LONG HAIR & ALLURING PERSONAITY I HATE MY LYF
I know there is much deeper cause of SH’s trauma. But maybe one of it is rejection. He was abandoned by his family bc his father was afraid that him & Seungwon will caught his disease bc father Yoon couldn't contain SH anymore. Maybe that's why SH hates to be abandoned by NK
They both know what they want at a young age. Even tho Nakyum grew up with low-class people, they've been so accepting of who he is but for Seungho, as part of the noble class family that's supposed to be prim & proper, they've treated him like the disgrace of the family
& I have a question, how old do you think Inhun is & who do you thinks is older? Seungho or Inhun? If Seungho is older, or same age with Inhun, more or less, if we think of how Inhun is the teacher of Nakyum, then maybe SeungKyum age gap is big & Nakyum is more or less 18y/o?
I have some theory about how old Seungho is. As we all know, Seungwon will be participating in ‘Kwago’ like Inhun. It's not that accurate, but if SW followed the standard age of the examiner & Seungho’s memory when he's looking at SW, maybe Seungho is in his late 20s or early 30s
I wonder what NK have said here that we didn't know for SH to react like this. Maybe something like calling SH’s name for help just like what he did when Jihwa grab him to look at his marks. It must be heartbreaking for SH, remembering how he saw NK bundled up with his robe
My thoughts right now? When Seungho found out that it was Jihwa whose behind it all, his expression became like this not only because he’s guilty on what he did to NK, but because he’s thinking that Nakyum is suffering & in this situation because of him. Because he loves NK
