We’re looking for Seungho’s Sword in episode eighty-six of Painter of the Night. At least, we understand why he keeps it close and his inclination to use it is so easily aroused… this is an episode that makes us angry enough to slash everybody! Where is that fucking sword? Where is it?
You should see my fucking sideeye right now.
From start to finish this was a stressful episode, and my eyes rolled up and to the side waaaay too many fucking times for one episode.
After the tense back and forth of the last episode, Nakyum’s pressing to get closer and Seungho maintain a distance that feels unbroachable, into this tableau comes Daddy Yoon.
The episode’s beginning, with Seungho reacting with what is clearly fear and some other strong emotion—rage I have no doubt—Nakyum immediately notices the minute changes in his demeanor, and get this ya’ll, Seungho notices him notices him, even in his obvious distress. Whew!
The hypocrisy of Daddy Yoon. The sheer fucking hypocrisy.And when this episode’s memories are surfaced, not voiced, just mentally referenced by Seungho… I know I for one shouted, “OH HELL FUCKING NO”!
I know they didn’t do my baby like that. But they did. Daddy Yoon sanctioned it and now, so much of Seungho’s shit makes sense.
We get the most explicit visual description of what happened to Seungho in the shed that we have ever had.
And I hate it. I hate Daddy Yoon. I hate him.
I want to slash and poison him. I want to watch him struggle with the poison, and then slash him. Fucker. Dry Twat that one. How could he do that to his own son?
I don’t care what time period you’re in, or cultural context you’re in, this is inhumane. Something you don’t do to a child.
You don’t do this to children. It’s the worst kind of human abuse. And that he could even show up and disdain Seungho…. and hit him! Where is that fucking sword? Where is it?!!!
And my baby Nakyum… I knew all along that was just a newlywed spat and you were just testing Seungho. It’s ok baby, Tia Sucia understands. As soon as that big bully Seungho turned his back, what did you do? The right thing. Pump the fuck out of Mr Kim for information. Good boy Nakyum.
And shitty ass Mr Kim. Look… you can get Seungho’s Sword too. Bitch like you… telling Nakyum not to get involved. Telling Nakyum that basically you think Seungho is shit. Fuck you Mr Kim. And your goat. Fuck your goat’s mother, and your mother too, and your mother’s goat’s mother. Always taking the coward’s position. I get you try to do the right thing Mr Kim, but you are a fucking coward. You do the right thing backed into a corner. By now you should have developed enough smarts to wheedle these people. What the fuck are you doing with your life?
Seungho thankfully took a moment to threaten you before he left to meet his father, but did you listen? Nope. Here’s Nakyum at the door of the room that this tense confrontation between father and so are going down, and only you could have fucking let him out to reach so far, innit? Whether that meant getting him killed in front of Seungho or not, right? Fucker. I can’t stand you Mr Kim.
And yeah… Nakyum’s at the door witnessing the tail end of Seungho confronting his father about the sexual nature of the way in which he was abused.
And Nakyum’s face… his face. Seungho’s face. Gah! Somebody pour me a drink please… my fucking nerves and my eye sockets feel shot to fucking hell.
Again with the hostage situation.
Although in this case, I’m with Seungho, but he should have tied that boy up in knots and pinned his ass to a post.
Mr. Kim… what happened? One job.
That last scene gave me one of those war-zone flashbacks of watching TWD and screaming Caaaaarl! at the screen every time someone told him to stay put and he still went off, head first into dangers unknown. Oy vey!
Now, as someone who rarely contacts their birth givers themselves, I totally get hostility and ancient grudges simmering beneath the surface of a family dynamic.
But wowza, this is next level.
Father Dearest is a serious piece of work.
