I dropped this before but I came back and reread it from the start. Honestly, I still think the story was trash, but there was something about it that kept me hooked and made me want to see how it ends.
Even though I chose to read it, now that it's over, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I don’t usually connect with fantasy genres, especially these Korean stories about ghosts and such, because I don’t understand many of their terms, and it gets confusing for me, which makes me lose interest while reading them
But for the first time, I found a story that truly captivated me, and it’s this manhwa
I just wanted to flip through it to see what it was like, but after reading a bit, I got really hooked on the story
It had positives in every aspect
It wasn’t just the writer trying to create a random yaoi romance story, and aside from the yaoi genre, there were other aspects in this manhwa that were very entertaining and well-written
I’m eagerly waiting for the second season!
I’m absolutely in love with this manhwa and the main couple!
I read the author’s other works and realized this is the one I really need to cherish because, unlike their insanely chaotic plots, this one has such a sweet and adorable story
I’ll forever be salty over the fact that we’ll never get to see the main couple’s kid
It’s something I’ll always regret not getting
The manhwas were interesting.
Given all the positive comments, I was expecting something fluffy and funny.
It was funny, but it didn’t meet my expectations at all, and honestly, I got bored and disappointed.
Overall, it had a concept that could’ve been really fun and engaging, but the story started off weak from the base. Because of that, both the writing and the plot left a lot of loopholes.
It felt like the author tried to squeeze in all the different ideas they had in mind, but most of them ended up feeling underdeveloped and incomplete.
The characters were likable, but I think a cute story with weak writing was ultimately wasted.
Yesterday I re-read this manhwa for what feels like the millionth time
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve gone through it, but EVERY SINGLE TIME, it floods me with so many emotions, pouring straight into my heart and touching the deepest parts of me
Painter of the Night is a story I’ll treasure forever. It holds a permanent spot in my heart.
Every time I read it, I can feel each panel—like the blood rushing through my veins. The anxiety, the love, the hate, the longing—I experience all of it just as intensely as I did the first time.
I’m absolutely sure that, no matter how many years pass, I’ll never find another story that makes me feel this deeply.
I’m that kind of person who believes there are so many hidden gems out there—stories that are truly valuable but don’t get enough recognition. On the flip side, there are plenty of popular ones that just don’t live up to the hype.
But Painter of the Night It’s one of those famous stories that truly deserves all the love and attention it’s received—and honestly, even more than that.
What I like about this manhwa is that both MCs don't know how to communicate from the very beginning
Almost all of their interactions end up as misunderstandings
However, throughout the story they gradually learn how to communicate with each other
In the process of learning to communicate, they also get to know each other better and mature internally
I think it's really special and beautiful how it shows them learning to be honest with each other, understand themselves, and bring that honesty and understanding into their relationship
I see this as a commendable and valuable lesson
They're hella ugly
I'm bawling my eyes out
