when ali died, sang-woo verbally justified his death.
"don't make a big deal out of it. he was just an old man you met here." (he was [somebody] you met here. to me this feels like him justifying his actions because he'd only just met him.)
when jung-soo/the glassmaker died, sang-woo verbally justified his death.
"we have to kill everybody else anyway to leave with that money."
when sae-byeok died, sang-woo verbally justified her death.
"she was going to die anyway. i just ended her pain quickly." "going home without a single cent? i can't do that."
but when sang-woo put the knife in his throat, there was no verbal justification.
sang-woo justified every kill he made, except for his own.
blasting my silly little music and creating my silly little daydreams so i don’t lose my silly little mind
"sang-woo didn't feel any remorse for his actions!!!!!" (rant incoming hi guys)
okay. im NOT an expert in facial expressions at all. but compare these images, during the later games (1: on the glass bridge, unsure of when; 2: after marbles before glass bridge, eating the consolation potato)
to these. (before marbles)
although he's still quite distressed (in the death games, wow! who would have guessed!), after marbles was when he genuinely started to lose his mind and spiral downward. i like to imagine in his head he’s fighting a battle between the overwhelming, harrowing feeling of guilt, and the need to win the games/being so desperate and willing to do anything to get out with the money.
in the first couple images, his eyes have that glassy, faded kind of look to them.
i do also want to take into account that sang-woo very visibly felt and looked guilty during the dalgona game. not because he lied about the game exactly, but because he nearly sent his best friend into death.
while i think it likely fucked with him self-consciously, i do think he was able to deflect it with "well he survived anyway" instead of wallowing in it like later.
(another thing i noticed (credits to @degenerata69 for pointing this out, i forgot where they said it but it made me do some deeper diving) is that sang-woo was one of the last triangle-shaped cutters to finish. i do think he was taking his time to ensure it didn't break, but i also do think his thoughts of guilt slowed him down. also his hands are shaking before the gunshots go off (seen more towards the beginning) poor guy.)
now look at his face after killing sae-byeok.
still a heartless monster with no remorse?
Sickening 🤮🤮

Bro I'm trying to survive capitalism with maladaptive daydreaming. Leave me alone.
After losing her child to the shelling, a Palestinian mother clings to him, offering her last farewell...
She kept asking them to bury her with him, saying, "I want to go with him, bury me with him."
I translated the video as well as I could.
