*spoilers* ni-ti analysis paralysis partly explains why he's so hesitant with starting a relationship with mok hae won. And when mok hae won breaks up with him after discovering the truth about her dad it's like he's already accepted it and seen it coming. fe - His consideration towards mok hae won, fixing the lamp near her house, buying her shoes etc. his fe also works well with his se as you can see that it's grounded in things that are grounded in the physical world and protecting her from physical entities I.e. the dark, the woods. when he's a child his fe is less well developed and that's why he tries to give mok hae won a beetle lol. he also gets into fights and his only seems to kick in later. inferior se - His love of the woods etc. you can also see demon si in that when he's severely sick he remembers his birth mum. also I feel like he is such a 9 though I could be wrong - during the show people would comment that he somehow manages to be the second male lead in his own show - which is sad but so funny and so true. Im going with 8 wing for now because he doesn't really strike me as having a perfectionist streak but something 8ish, like how he got into fights as a kid and the way he seemed harsh to mok hae won when she went to find him at the cabin. but the way he regretted it and tried to reconcile after seemed quite 9ish. he ultimately wants to keep the peace 9's vice and virtue is sloth and right action and eun sob definitely shows character growth in being more assertive. like when they're in high school he overthinks helping mok hae won fix her bicycle and then when he gets there he's too late. you can see when he follows her on the train and as he gets older he develops 3 traits more and becomes more assertive. conversely when he disintegrates to 6 like when he's sick you can see him becoming more fearful and anxious. I don't think he's a 5 because while he's quiet and loves reading I think that's a stereotype: if he were a 5 he would become more assertive at 8 for sure but he would become more spontaneous and gregarious at 7 which I don't think really happens in the show. instead when he goes to 6 he hallucinates about the figures who gave him comfort in the past. what I generally understand about 5s is that they're kind of indifferent to people, but eun sob genuinely wants to connect with people - and he does that using books and the book club- as well his blog posts. And I think? he writes his book at the end which gives me integration to 3 vibes.
