This series is based on a novel originally by Fallnick.
Sadistic Beauty is similarly the same. The author for the series is WOO Yeonhui.
Lee Geumsan is just the artist for both series. KINOKO (II) is also helping out with the art for this series only.
but doesn't an artist get to choose what they work on? they're relying on someone else for the actual writing, but they at least know the general plot before they choose to start collaborating or adapting. don't the similarities between all the works they've done feel... too obvious to be ignored? (not that we'd ever know for sure without straight up asking, ofc, so really i'm just speculating)
I mean, I do my job and I don't love it but I still choose to anyways but it doesn't speak for my morals.
oh, this wasn't a moral judgment at all! just some armchair psychology. maybe manhwa illustrators don't get to choose their work, or maybe they choose based on market research and not what they actually feel like writing, we'll never know for sure.
Yeah, though this artist is talented that's for sure. Can draw straight, BL, and GL. She knows no bounds
based on this + Sadistic Beauty Original Flavor + Sadistic Beauty BL, i'm gonna hazard a guess that the author just really, really, really wishes shitty men would get what's coming to them, but 10x worse. i don't even think it's a sex thing, it feels like it's just a revenge thing.
and then there's Sadistic Beauty GL, which is just a nice sweet cute story with some bdsm in it lmao
