I think it’s interesting that the doppelgänger/redemption/revenge themes of the historical drama in some ways are supposed reflect his own “second” life and the choices he continues to make

It was just a passing story but I teared up on that juvenile story 😢

sentencing an abused child to death is psycho behavior

yeah that was a bit too far. I'd understand if it was life sentence or sth but death penalty, while he's a minor who was abused? Then again, I know nothing about law so maybe it's fair in Korea.

sorry to death?? this asshole sent a minor who had been horrifically abused by his family until he broke and killed them to death? and I'm just supposed to nod along like that had any valid reasoning? this chapter was great but wtf?! and the professor is still being portrayed as a good, intelligent guy when that has to be the stupidest, most psychotic shit I have ever heard. how the fuck was this good acting advice?!?!

literally taking one psych course or hell just having basic empathy would make you understand what could have driven a child to murder??????

clearly this boy wasn't murdering fucking strangers for fun.

I really like this whole thing. One thing you younger people need to remember is that it was not long ago that death penalty was ubiquitous, and that the value of life was very low after WW2. Things like CPA was very new, and any sort of notion of mental health (in the modern sense of the term) did not exist.

Your sense of values is the norm now, but that was not always the case.

I think it’s only fitting for a manga set some 40-years ago to actually reflect what it was like then, when you were talking to the older generation.

I had to pause while reading because it seemed absolutely insane that we were having this sentimental scene about some old lunatic who sentenced a teen(?) to death. We even hear the child was remorseful and glad to be sentence to death for it, so he wasn't mentally in a great place. Just bonkers that it was left as is, like we should have got some heartfelt meaning froma miscarriage of justice.

They're already doing a boatload of unrealistic nonsense, giving MC a golden path to success. They could've made the side-story anecdote include a "revolutionary" (possibly anachronistic) display of legal compassion.

Edit: circled back around, and I did misread it slightly. It wasn't played as "the right action". The quick switch from the 'anecdote' to 'set' made collision seem larger on my first pass. Because I'm a sore loser I will say that I would have added a more concrete thought from the professor than "I think about the look in his eye sometimes" when we, the audience, aren't given a visual to go off.
