Kim Sungkyu keeps radiating sad queer energy in every thing I've seen him in.
I hope he never gets a happy role. watching him angst over other men is just the best thing for my September.

I can not stop thinking about this nightmare of a drama I binged over Thanksgiving - The King of Pigs. Long story short it’s about horrific bullying amongst middle school boys - and the ripple effect on all their lives, perpetrators, bystanders, and victims. It’s about memory, repression, the human desire to see yourself in a good light, perspective, delusion, and denial. It’s about classism. But mostly it’s about trauma.
I remember what stuck with me most when reading the book My Dark Vanessa - was the young girl’s unwillingness to see herself as the victim. And I got it then - because self preservation insisted she keep the broken frame of first love rather than acknowledge she was a sexually abused and emotionally manipulated.
In a similar vein, the main character of The King of Pigs created a narrative in his head that he couldn’t let go of. It was the most tragically middle school scenario too - something that could only stick to the mind of someone very young and very hurt. And that’s what was so frustrating about it - because as an adult you could see how hard he was struggling to maintain it - even though his adult brain would surely tear it to shreds if he examined it for even a moment - and so he refused. He closed down like a trap to keep it out.
It was so sad. And horrible. And I really appreciated the show for not giving an inch. It was excruciating until the very last scene. The victims of abuse had found moments, days, years even of happiness and peace - but always lingering around the edges. A bad dream away.
The other leading male was in the same boat - caught in his mind. Stuck in the philosophical quandary of violence. Can there be justice when there is no remorse? And if there is no remorse, is it justice then to attempt to give peace to the victims in some way? What will appease them? These are questions we still struggle to answer, collectively, as a species.
Anyways - it’s violent and gruesome and extremely triggering and I’m not sure I would recommend it… but I got a lot out of it.

Ah yes, just listened to the story “The king of pigs” from the Black Library and there’s always that fun(horrifying) moment before you figure out which chaos god they’re dealing with this time
Without giving away too much, it’s about a man working in a Slaughterhouse on a world that’s about to be engulfed in war. It follows his life on the last days of the planet in the form of the diary entries he writes, and all the fun(PTSD inducing horrible awfulness) that happens to a planet when they’re about to be completely annihilated.
Mix that up with some godawful body horror and a strangely affectionate pig and you’ve got yourselves a really good story 👍
