Kim Rok Soo - Blog Posts

The reason why Cale always says he doesn't want to become Duke/Prime Minister/God is because there will be too much work and he won't be able to slack... It's not actually that he won't be able to , but that he won't be able to allow himself to. As we've seen, Cale (Kim Roksoo) is someone with a great sense of responsibility. He goes around solving other people's problems as a hobby. Do you think that guy would be able to neglect his duties and responsibilities even if he wanted to? His sense of responsibility, his conscience, wouldn't allow him to slack. That's why he doesn't want a position of importance. He's tired of being given responsibilities and not being able to ignore them.

(in the voice of a guy that will defy fate to save you) i don't care

Just a reminder that every day is "Kim Rok Soo stay alive, being alive is the best." Day.

Part 2 Chapter 39 (Spoilers!)

Too? too??? You mean to tell me there's two of them??

Now I'm in the middle of feeling bad for Lee Soo Hyuk because he had to deal with the aftermath of their antics or to give him the side eye because it's very likely that he was the main instigator of said antics

Channeling my inner Eruhaben with this one:

Cale needed that evil god's test. Not only to fight despair, but also for his mental health.

He needed to see that there was a world where "Kim Rok Soo" was not left to survive alone. He needed to see all his "what ifs" happen. He needed to resolve all the regrets of "Kim Rok Soo" to fully live as Cale Henituse. Because even if it wasn't his world, he now knows that a "Kim Rok Soo" was happy, surrounded by people he loves, people who would survive with him.

That is how he can loosen the shackles of fear of being alone again as Cale. "We will all survive" is not just a random mantra for him. He needs it to be true. He has had so much loss and grief in his life.

Even if he doesn't really say so, that grief was what kept him going. To "not waste" the sacrifices of all those who saved him, he kept surviving. But that is also why he's reckless despite "valuing" his life.

I think, subconsciously, he thinks that if he can save more people, then that would be a good "payment" for those who saved him. His "slacker life" is basically world peace. 🤭

Back to the point... The test showed him Kim Rok Soo and everyone he cares for survive, so now he has more courage and less doubt to face WS because he wants a life like Parallel KRS', as Cale Henituse.
