Not just that, the back and forth scenes of those 'introspective' aspect here is just downright confusing....i use to think that it's good for the author to be different and not let readers easily guess what will happen, but it feels too much since the plot isn't surprising at all.. so it's just the storytelling way that seems off
Yes, noticed that too... Believe me it's not easy to make me confused, also because I read manga and manwha for 25 years, but here I had to re-read some part of the chap. Hope this is an exception because until now Koogi was flawless, even when people didn't understand her choices or the psychology behind her characters, I thought she was doing an excellent job
I probably be more critical about that...I admit that this story is really out of the box when it first came out, the main reason why I read that in the first place. The setting and the theme are realistic so it's fair to say eventho this is fiction, the story wanted us to follow along the real logic of their characters, be it sane or troubled ppl like Sangwoo and Bum.
I like that after 2 full seasons of Sangwoo abusing Bum relentlessly, depicted as flawless psychopath, now we are given a more fragile side of him, where he clings on Bum, it's a bit refreshing..
What i consider a bit flaw is the dynamic between Seungbae, Sangwoo, and police force.. at this rate I feel like to make Sangwoo stand out and had the upperhand, police force had to be downgraded in depiction..they look unintelligent atm which is unrealistic and too obvious as plot device. I don't really favor the way Kwak, the supposedly intelligent officer, caught of guard that easily when he came to investigate a suspect without any plans, backup, or weapon, while knowing fully the probability of Sangwoo as a dangerous person..It didn't make Sangwoo looked like a smart and ruthless villain, it was just his enemy that was too dumb..
For Seungbae, it looks like he is supposed to be our eventual hero so he is given many problems and trials before he can outshine his enemy.
I kinda expect that Bum would be the trump card in this story, cuz we can see sliver shift of his attitude towards Sangwoo, so i'm still reading just to see what kind of end our 3 characters will get..since they all have different agenda..
But i guess, because it is contracted to be 4 seasons and with so many hiatus in between, the storytelling feels draggin
I really liked the change in character's roles before this chap, but now I'm just confused...after the misunderstanding between Sangwoo and Bum I was waiting for another conversation between them..I was waiting for the present I think Bum bought for him, waiting for discovering if the money Bum asked from the girl were or that, waiting to see their relationship evolve once more. Then the chief came in and I though, ok, the whole situation is on pause because this, the will deal with him and then we're back to that situation with the girl, their role etc.. But...no, we don't see what Sangwoo do to the chief and we go back to that police offer again. Ok, I thought, a chap to make us see he is still there and he knows... Then the hiatus and today we have a chap that not only skipped thorough all that situation I mentioned before, but we even got a time skip. So it feels rushed and confusing. Maybe Koogi thought with all those introspective chapters we have the picture, but we still want to understand and see what happens. This time I honestly don't understand Koogi's decision and I can't see how explain all these moment left behind.
