The ending was the best just what we can expect from someone like Clark. It was so satisfying how Clark woke Alex from his delusions and also how he also suffered in the end cause of the death of the doctor.
He's the most intriguing character for me, even though this was written in his point of view I think there's still a lot to know about him and his interest. He's definitely sick in the head but not as much as Alex. It also caught my attention that he's attracted to someone as naive as the doctor, who's easy to manipulate but far from his interest (murderers). I think it's too dramatic for him to actually commit suicide, kinda out of character and who knows he might find someone just as naive.
This manhwa went through many mistranslations but still managed to captivate me till the end.
About Khakia x Ino, even though we only had a glimpse of their relationship but they were able to show how different they are from the other characters which makes them special. But I really can't help thinking about Khakia's future. His previous lover was too obsessed with him that he killed his other children, while Ino loved him dearly but can't prioritize him. I wouldn't mind if there would be a story abt him with another person after Ino's death. Maybe someone stronger that'll give him as much love.
SOME SPOILERS FROM THE NOVEL
Those looking forward to their sex scenes might be disappointed as there's not much of it from the novel, it was in the later part in the middle of the story, so unless fujoking change it but that moment is actually meaningful to the characters and story so I don't think it'd be good to change it.
In fact, it seems to me that it doesn't focus on the romance at all but the issues of mc (Yoohan). They have scenes ofc but the story is not abt the relationship but rather how Yoohan overcame his problems and his relationship with Director is a big factor. I love how Director doesn't directly help him! Unlike those stories where just having their lovers, the problem will be solved, here Yoohan actually does the planning and executes them and Director doesn't interfer that much but he does supports him.
Tho I really think there's a lack of romance that you'll end up wanting it till the end of the novel. I'll be reading Payback Gaiden (Pay Off) which seems to be the continuation, so I hope they focus on their relationship in this one.
AND WHY ARE PEOPLE SO BOTHERED WITH YAOI OR SHOUNEN AI TAG OMG. Sorry but this one might not be what you're looking for.

Wow. I like their dynamic and how their relationship developed. For a psychopath to choose to be "tamed" must be really hard. It's impressive how Kang Moo can be jealous, concern, hurt, etc because of Kirin which attract the readers and even Kirin himself, I had to remind myself he can't feel emotion of love I'll have to read this again later lol. Still, in some way their relationship is special.
You sure this isn't another dream of beom? Lol jk so this is gonna go down that road huh
