First things first, I found out about it per edits which completely gives this a different representation.
SPOILERS WARNING!
I was already genuinely disgusted after Chapter 2 by anyone who would still ship this after finding out who Sangwoo really is.
So we find out that Sangwoo is a Serial Killer who beats women and kills them after torturing them. Bum, the MC, gets his legs broken by Sangwoo and goes through hell during the story.
Yoonbum: Suffers from PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder and then Stockholm Syndrome because of Sangwoo. Textbook victim, doesn't mean that the Author did a bad job with him, the way he acts and reacts
...
makes sense and although Bum isn't fully innocent, he doesn't want to harm anyone and is really just a sad, severely traumatized individual. He is 28 or 29, but looks and acts way younger due to the abuse he endured while growing up, getting starved by his uncle, he literally looks as if he just entered middle school, loves frogs, and is very naive. His BPD causes him to obsess once he gets affection for one since he never received affection from anyone due to his parents dying when he was a baby and his beyond horrible uncle abusing him+getting bullied in school and also abused in military. Bum is in the Grey Zone, but he is in any way not a bad, or evil individual as he didn't even want to kill his uncle during the story when Sangwoo brought him to Bum. His fate his unknown as far as I know, but I wish he survives and gets the help he needed for so long.
Sangwoo: Textbook Serial Killer with Mother Issues. Very unlikable, Narcissists are already unlikable to me but he's also abusive, homophobic, homicidal and a Serial Killer and Rapist. I feel like most of his fans only like him because of his appearance as they already did so before his past was revealed. His past didn't explain much nor did it justify his behavior. Got what he deserved, although I'm one of these people who think that vile criminals like him should just get thrown in prison and rot instead of dying and get the easy way out.
Seungbae(?): The cop. He didn't have as much appearance in the story as Yoonbum or Sangwoo, but I really liked him as he only wanted to bring justice to the world, arresting Sangwoo who murdered so many people. He had kind of a depressing turn in the beginning of S3 which is understandable, but then fortunately came back to finally end Sangwoo and save Yoonbum.
Season 1 was how it should've stayed the whole time.
I did not like Season 2 and 3. Season 1 had mindfuckery going on the whole time, Bum was trying to escape, Sangwoo was the scary antagonist, Seungbae tried his best to catch proofs to arrest Sangwoo. But then...it just kind of dragged out? And that for too long which I just didn't like. The fanbase is HORRIBLE. Ya'll really gonna hate on Yoonbums uncle (Trust me, I do hate him too), but then like or justify Sangwoo who is worse and ship him with Bum, WHO gets abused and raped by Sangwoo as well? It's so hypocritical.
But a fanbase shouldn't make the actual source material worse, so this was just a extra point.
