Actually, contrary to the popular opinion, this is the best ending for me. Sangwoo was only getting the death he deserved. He did not need to “go to the mental hospital and live a good life with Yoonbum” because he would’ve been executed many times over with just how much he’s killed, and he was also blamed for his mothers death( though he did not kill her) he went on to kill multiple women and had also kept Yoonbum captive.

**Warning: this text may contain spoilers** I have never whispered "what the fuck" to myself as many times as I did when I read this amazing manhwa...
This one hit me hard, I should probably hate them? But some how I can't, instead I find myself being more sympathetic due to what they had gone through prior before meeting each other. And yes their relationship wasn't the healthiest but the hurt that was shown in the comic was on a whole nother level (especially the end) this will make you feel Yoon Buns pain, anguish, and sorrow. And in the end, this story actually made me love the idea of Sangwoo and Yoon Bum together. But I suppose this proves the genius of the author.

This was so intense!
And while the ending was quite fitting, it was really sad too. I mean, this was the way I expected it to go, but it was such a heartbreaking end!
Kogi did amazing though, and I’m sad to see this end, but the ending was still very good.
Perhaps this will be better for them.

What a great conclusion to this series.
The last two chapters were so eerie. It was so scary watching Bum's confliction about . I felt so bad for Bum because he wasn't able to achieve the last wish he had but at the same time, I just wanted him to cut loose that part of his life and start fresh.
All through and through, this series has left me so invested in the lives of these two characters while also being the leading star in all my nightmares but I can't say I didn't enjoy the ride.
I'm definitely going to watch out for more from this artist!

i knew what was coming from a mile away and yet kept reading. ever since i started this, i couldn't put it away, contrary to what i had earlier thought. yes, there were moments where i has to physically recollect myself because it was just too much. but other than that, it couldn't have been a more perfect ending imo. it was solid, it was impactful and it hit all the places (or people should i say) it needed to hit.
pun very much intended.
the way the story wrapped up and the way it was portrayed made me almost, yeah ALMOST, reach out for sangwoo and made me pity him. but mind you, i'm not trying to find redeeming qualities in that psycho serial killer with Oedipus complex. neither do i want to. i fully agree with what he deserved. and rightfully so.
but yoonbum reaching out to him for the last time was my last straw, it was my 13th reason🔪💢. that's when i knew i had IT with the story. it infuriated so much to the point i nearly dug a hole in my phone.
that mf ending ripped my heart out of my body, threw it across the highway, made 50 F1 cars speed over it, stamped over it, tore it in a thousand different pieces and made me eat it. im pretty sure i am not going to recover from what ks did to me and what impact it had on me. it was definitely a journey i would not forget for quite some time and if this doesn't prove Koogi's genius, then idk what does.

A fitting ending to the most twisted, sick and horrifying manga I've ever read.
March 5, 2020
Such a heartbreaking ending to probably one of the most twisted things I've ever read.
I think the finale was a perfect wrap up to Sangwoo and YoonBum's messed up relationship.
So sad and powerful.

4.5 rounded up to 5 stars.
Dark, horrific, and utterly twisted. I loved this story. It had the twists and turns you look for in a good horror/thriller. Like most of the readers, I love Sangwoo and his obsession with Bum. The darkness of it all has its starting place in each of their lives, and you'll never guess where it actually comes from. Once you assume something, another something actually happens. Crazy lol.
The only reason for the half star was because I'm really not too sure how to process the ending of it all. It definitely summed everything up nicely, but left me asking myself questions on the interpretations of it all. Overall, highly recommend, but do read the triggers of this story!

Sangwoo kinda deserved what happend to him as anything else would be too good, so this is pretty fitting ending. He was on killing spree whole series and any other ending would be "happy" in one way or the other...
I´m kinda sad that KS is over, but I think it was time as it was getting kinda boring and it was loosing the "flow". What I have to give Koogi a credit for are backstories, characters development/decision making and the ART.
So, as messed up and an absolute emotional rollercoaster as this Manhwa was, it is a good story... just not for everybody. (read the triggers!!!!)

Do you know how to killing someone without killing them?
Glad it's over, thanks for the PTSD. Not something I would ever have imagined I'd read all the way through, or even start, but here I am finishing this short saga of unspeakable disgust and horror. The ending was pretty fitting and I feel some relief in those final pages. I think everyone got what they deserved.

the whole time i was reading this i couldn’t put it down. i honestly lived it so much, i even cried at the end - bare in mind i’ve never cried at a real persons death let alone fictional one. usually death doesn’t effect me but for some reason this one really got to me.

I-…I have no words.…
*SPOILER ALERT*
I know in my earlier review I said I started to like Sangwoo… Well now that has changed. Sangwoo was seconds away from killing Yoon Bum. Or maybe not, maybe he just wanted to scare Bum. But still that just changed everything. I am so glad that Sangwoo had gotten caught and yes he dies. Before we get to that lets talk about Bum. The house burns on fire and Bum cannot believe the burned person is Sangwoo. He tells the firefighters to search for Sangwoo instead they found concrete evidence that Sangwoo is a murderer. Yoon Bum ends up in the hospital for his wounds and finds that he cannot remember Sangwoos face. Bum does not tell Sungbae that he loves Sangwoo or he has issues. Threfore, no one knew Bum had some inner mental issues from before. Bum goes in search for Sangwoo at another hospital to find out he died two days ago at the hands of a frail grandma. She tells him he cried out for Bum. Did Sangwoo ever love Bum? I think at the end in his death bed Sangwoo realized how much Bum meant to him, but is he capable of love? I wouldn't know. Bum however, takes Sangwoos ashes into his house and he imagines Sangwoo there. The ending leaves off with Bum crying after Sangwoo who is walking away with another girl. The light turns red but Bum keeps walking… Did Bum get hit by a car? Did Sungbae get to Bum in time? Is Bum still alive? Or did he fulfill his promise of killing himself if Sangwoo were to ever die?
*Spoiler Ended*
My favorite Character was Sungbae. I actually wish he ended up with Bum. I wonder whats going to happen to Sungbae if Bum does die. I wish Koogi gave an epilogue ir maybe if an anime does come out than we get to see more of what happens after. Someone tell me where to get more information about the anime or if there is a petition for more Killing Stalking. Thank you, I will now go and munch on peanut m&ms and sob.

Sono ancora leggermente sconvolta. Killing Stalking è una lettura che non si può affrontare in qualunque momento. Un po' di tempo fa forse avrei detto "aspettate di avere una bella notizia, una bella settimana per leggerlo" in pieno stile black mirror ma in realtà no. Leggo KS in questo momento d'insicurezza interna malleata e ingigantita da quella esterna, in una parentesi di vita piena di rabbia, tristezza e invidia. Ed è stato terapeutico, stranamente.
Le emozioni viaggiano fortissime, sale la paura per la pagina seguente e sentimenti contrastanti. Oh Sangwoo è talmente imprevedibile che non ci sentiamo in grado di consigliare un percorso d'azioni a Yoon Bum ed è disarmante. Altamente consigliato se avete rapporti burrascosi in famiglia, per i più fortunati potrebbe essere un mondo emotivo forse un po' troppo lontano. KS davvero non guarda in faccia nessuno e tratta temi forti, e li tratta a fondo. Fino allo sfinimento, però sfinimento in senso buono. Sfinimento nel senso che ho letto gli ultimi 20 capitoli in un giorno fino alle 2 e mezza di ieri notte. I miei poveri occhi.
Ma non ho potuto farne a meno, è una di quelle storie che a un certo punto sembra prendino e vadano per la propria strada. Sembrano non terminare veramente ma solcare quella linea tra finzione e reale, prendere forma e svanire dietro l'angolo nel momento in cui distogliamo lo sguardo.
Bel lavoro koongi. Grazie.

INHALE. I think that I regret reading this for the rest of my days but I still give it five stars. This story is not perfect but it is unlike anything I have ever read and it will stick with me forever. Every topic in this story is not just brushed off and is deeply explored, even if it is DEEPLY disturbing. (which is everything) If you are fine with disturbing content but and overall great story that will make you scream, I extremely recommend this 67 chapter manhwa.
Now to the review.

Estoy de acuerdo con lo que dicen algunos sobre el final de Killing Stalking. Es cierto que de cierta manera Sangwoo merecía morir, pero... ¿Realmente de esa manera tan "aburrida"? Quiero decir, se le podría haber dado muchísimo más juego al final y más sabiendo todo lo que hizo Sangwoo. Creíamos que Yoon-bum estaba cambiando, que iba a sacar la valentía para abrir los ojos de una vez y salir de ahí, pero ha sido toda una decepción cuando nos enteramos de que le iba a pedir matrimonio.
Quiero decir, este libro no acaba bien en absoluto. Un buen final podría haber sido que la evolución que parecía estar teniendo Yoon-bum llegase a la cúspide y nos lo mostrase finalmente feliz y con el trauma de Sangwoo superado. En cambio, lo único que hace Koogi es decepcionarnos más al ver la alucinación que tiene Yoon-bum.
Le pongo dos estrellas porque la ilustración me parece alucinante y porque me ha mantenido enganchada, pero se merece menos sin duda.

*deep breath* okay so i really did enjoy this story, as a psychological thriller. It was so interesting and a really fast read. I hate that people are romanticizing it because this is literally a story about Stockholm syndrome and trauma. The ending was needed but I cannot lie, it did make me sad. I hate that people have made this story out to be a romance when it is indeed not. Yes, Sangwoo did have so much trauma and had a really abusive childhood but that does NOT excuse any of his actions. He was quite literally a murderer, a rapist, and not a good person. Your trauma does not give you an excuse to be abusive. I felt bad for Yoonbum, he was a victim that got caught in it. He definitely did terrible inexcusable things and he should have gotten locked up too but the author really makes you feel his pain. Ugh this was a really good manwha.

This was one of the darkest, most addicting, and heart wrenching stories I’ve ever read. The relationships are toxic and the TW list about a mile long but I was hooked.
This story is a lot to process and I don’t want to spoil anything, so all I’m going to say is this is a story that’ll stick with me for a long time. I can’t wait to read it again when the English volumes officially come out. Well, I actually can because I need to recover a little after reading this and focus on good and happy things lol.
I had trouble deciding on rating these 5 stars because of how dark the series is, but any story that makes me pull an all-nighter is a definite 5 star read for me.
(I read this series in a whirlwind so I don’t remember exactly where each season ends so I’m doing my review on the final volume for the entire series.)

Madness luv absolute madness! The ending chapters were actually so wild like the fact that he had kept his mum all this time? It made so much sense of his actions where he would recall her too. I wouldnt necessarily say sangwoo loved yoonbum but the fact that he was calling out for him until his death is sad...but honestly a serial killer dying from the hands of a frail grandma? That’s a bit ironic considering his choice of victims. Also! The ending! Personally I’d like to believe that yoonbum passed away too since they had that die with me pact, but i also wanna believe he was able to move on butttt who knows. Nonetheless i really enjoyed the storyline as grotesque as it was due to how it portrayed its psychological elements.

This chapter broke me.
Although Sangwoo deserved too die, I didn’t expect it too happen. For some reason, I completely broke after seeing what happened. Yoon Bum, someone who should’ve hated Sangwoo was so attached to him that even he was broken. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Sangwoo deserved that death, but Yoon Bum didn’t deserve more trauma. Sangwoo was the last thing he wanted too loose. Although Sangwoo ruined his life, he loved him, and watching him loose the person he loved.. or hated.. was sad. He was attached too Sangwoo. He needed someone too fill the void. And that was Sangwoo.
In conclusion, this chapter broke me. It was amazing.. but it was so so heartbreaking. I recommend it too everyone, but my heart couldn’t take the pain.

(wow.. the ending. i had really gotten sooo attached to yb and sw, and it was all so intense and such a wild ride - it was hard to say goodbye. months after having finished it, i still think about it sometimes. i actually liked the ending. it was painful, but also quite good; sw got arrested for his crimes (which should def happen lol), and yb got out of that situation. however... she gave us an open ending - which mean that to me they're not dead. not one bit dead, nope, not even a little. like, yeah sure i would've loved and enjoyed an ending that wrapped it all up in a neat little bow, but this heartaching ending was well written and sufficent enough.)

Isso acabou com todo resto de sanidade que eu tinha, simplesmente não tenho palavras pra descrever essa obra. Você começa odiando alguns personagens e a cada novo capitulo isso vai mudando, seria doentio dizer que no final você vai gostar do Sangwoo, mas com o desenvolver da história é possível perceber como ele chegou naquele ponto, todos os traumas pelo qual passou na infância, vida conturbada e etc ( A base para formação de qualquer serial killer, segundo Harold Schechter). Enfim, não esperava pelo final, e gostei de deixar certa parte em aberto, mesmo sabendo o que deve ter acontecido, rico em detalhes para quem consegue perceber as nuâncias, 10/10.

What a twisted and gruesome manga!
The finale was well deserved for Sangwoo as he was really f***ed-up by his mother and did some atrocious things but I think that Bum deserved closure and also he made a promise to Sangwoo which I guess was kept in the end... but we didn't get to see.
Also, it was meant for them to meet and fall in love since they met when Sangwoo was a baby and Bum was a little boy. Too bad their love was not enough to heal each other as their perverted childhood left an imprint too hard to overcome ☹️
