I'm liking it.
+ Yoojin's power ups and honestly overwhelming OPness can be a bit much at times but I like how his abilities come together and how he both uses them and portrays them to everyone else.
+ Yoojin is definitely still very much about gaining recognition, fame, money and an easy life. He definitely is using the people around him in order to gain all that. But he's also a kind person at his core I think and you can see that he does genuinely care about the people around him. His fantasies about being #1 are amusing when they pop up but I wonder if or when we are going to see a shift in him acting in self interest to him working to help people to help people?
+ I'm surprised that we haven't gotten more interaction between Yoohyun and Yoojin because based on the pre-time jump period I figured their relationship would be the central one and yet thus far we've gotten more build on Yoojin with other characters.
Also considering how important Yoohyun has always been to Yoojin, the fact that he watched his brother die for him, AND the fact that he spent years seemingly rejected by his brother and apart from him and now once again has a close relationship and can be with him whenever he wants - Yoojin has been keeping way more distant from Yoohyun then expected. Okay, yes genuine fear of being locked away for his entire life, fair.
But also there hasn't been a lot of Yoojin thinking of his brother or considering their relationship. Does he have a lot of resentment over their last life and Yoohyun's treatment? This life is giving him insight into why Yoohyun acted as he did but I guess I wanted a little more contemplation of it. I love that Yoojin is 100% in Yoohyun's corner and is unwavering in his support, as expected.
+ But also Yoohyun dude. I get that he wanted to protect Yoojin by keeping his distance and doing his best to keep the target on him off Yoojin, but yikes there had to have been better ways to do that! At the very least coldly tell him that he doesn't want Yoojin interfering/ruining his new life and then paying for him to move to a different more remote city/town to have a quiet life in. idk. After the leg breakage accept that keeping him close is safer then continuing to reject him?
+ I really liked how Yoojin collected Yerim and Myeongwoo to his side. It makes complete sense, even completely ignoring Influence, and even beyond the fact that he saved their lives. Here are two people who are very alone and feel beaten down by the world. Myeongwoo is at his lowest-point, looked down upon and with no way to make his life better. Yerim is under the control of an abusive uncle with no control over her life. Neither can help themselves. And then in swans Yoojin with kindness and smiles, offering to take away their problems and give them power back over their lives, and offering them companionship and friendship. Of course they love him and want to be in his life and protect him. I really like his friendships with them.
+ I loved everyone cracking up at Yoojin talking about how kind and docile Yoohyun was.
+ I loved Yoojin vs the kidnappers on the ship. I love his coldness in dealing with them. His competence. The way he took them all out so easily. It was great.
+ Yoojin secretly being a badass and a killer while playing helpless innocent is working for me. I really want to see Yoohyun's reaction when he realises the truth about Yoojin.
+ I loved Yoohyun murdering the fake bodyguard, calling in Yerim to question his corpse, the way she doesn't even flinch and them agreeing to keep it a secret from Yoojin. Great scene.
+ I love that Yoojin can collect monsters as well. Yes, please all of them. Peace is very cute. I personally loved Blackie in what little we saw of it (rip poor Blackie) and think Yoojin should have a dozen of them. They can live in his training building and guard it!
+ "The way you reply without a shred of fear really is the best!" I loved this line because it does encapsulate something unique about Yoojin that is very noticeable - his lack of fear/deference in the face of powerful Hunter auras, and shows that the Hunters have noticed it. More then that they (and I think a lot of them beyond Hyuna) find that intriguing/refreshing.
+ Moon Hyuna is very hot. Just that. Okay and also she seems like a good person. She genuinely simply wanted to help Yoohyun in the beginning and was enough of a good person/naive to be appalled by the death she came across. I also believe that she does want to help Yoojin. She also wants to manipulate him into joining her and I approve but I think she also wants to protect him.
+ I'm definitely intrigued by the 'System' characters and what that part of the plot is about. They seem very animalistic/mythological.
+ Myeongwoo is a sweetheart.
