Yoo Junghyuk and Yoo Sangah were actually robbed of the possible interactions they could have had like they're so obviously parallels of the other, Ysa being a stepping stone for kdj to truly understand yjh. Like fym they never really talked, THEY COULD BE BESTIES!!
it would have been so much more interesting to see the parallels if they interacted more from them both having the surname yoo, them both being revered by kdj and put on a pedestal despite being flawed (something which ysa told kdj directly) both incredibly optimistic and foolhardy to the point of putting their own health on the line (three year gap and yih in the 999th round) to hold together their group
both being controlled by celestial beings, they are the same character. at their core but their gender actually does have an effect on how they act, both of them acting stereotypical to the standards of their sex (ysa kind and wanting to fit in and yjh strong and masculine)
but ultimately they are the same, the idealised version of what they should be (yjh a typical handsome and stoic protagonist and ysa a kind and caring woman who conducts her self with femininely ) though they both break the mould in certain ways they both still fit into it
Like I’m genuinely never going to get over at how they’re each other but yoo sangah has the complexity of a real person rather than a character. Ysa is hyper aware of the image she gives out and lives up to it while yjh doesn’t, even if he’s the ideal, he’s not actively
changing himself to fit like Yoo Sangah is. Their similarities only further emphasise their differences, that Yjh is too good to be true, a perfect protagonist that doesn’t actively try to be perfect while his real life counterpart does
