The way this manhwa is drawn and storyboarded is creative in storytelling (1/5)

Here's some examples of those creative storytelling scenes:

- Jingi explains their job to Myeong-il (both through what's said in the newspaper and by explaining): [Ch.13 p.3]

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/prison_dogs/uu/br_chapter-211084/pg-3/

- Jingi has an abstract nightmare (presumably about visiting his mom in jail): [Ch.17 p.22]

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/prison_dogs/uu/br_chapter-215495/pg-22/

- Jingi explaining to Heonjae about Myeong-il's gambling addiction. The pen he throws visually becomes a severed finger on top of playing cards implying that Myeong-il is a hopeless gambler that won't stop even if his fingers are cut, which is also referencing that time when Myeong-il did attempt to cut off his own fingers due to a major loss from gambling in a flashback once but even now he hasn't stopped or learned his lesson: [Ch.27 p.6]

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/prison_dogs/uu/br_chapter-227146/pg-6/

- The chapter starts with a vague flashback just filled with colors as it was through the perspective of the blind Noona. (something about pictures? I assume that's what in the letters Jingi refuses to open or show Myeong-il): [Ch.34 p.2-8]

- Myeongyoo (Myeong-il's sister) having an anxiety attack as she's scratching herself from fear, though it feels like being scratched all over, then thinking the voice that spoke next was Myeong-il because she wished he was there to protect them :'(( : [Ch.34 p.22]

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/prison_dogs/uu/br_chapter-236200/pg-22/

- Jingi explaining why Heonjae and Myeong-il together won't work. Myeong-il is a puzzle that Heonjae won't be able to solve (bc Heonjae generally can't understand people much, and Myeong-il is also f-ed up in his own way) (also the puzzle is made of the stamps Myeong-il won, not sure what that means.): [Ch.35 p.19]

    Wow I was so curious what’s in the letter didn’t think they would be the photos but that’s the most believable theory! Love your analysis and break down btw.❀

    Thnxxxx!! Yeahh, I honestly had to backtrack through the chapters to realize there might be a connection to the letter Jingi sent to the Noona in the end of Ch.20 "please send the thing on the 5th" and the flashback about the photos in the beginning of Ch.34.
