I don't know what I did to deserve being born on this timeline, but at least Nerd Project and this are arriving with season 2 like on the same day
Normie or whatever his name is was so problematic that I skipped his whole lore
Feels like jus yesterday I cried because the main story ended this was a work of art
This story is like unwiped ass served to you on a dustbin lid like a platter in the backstreet alleyway of NY. Okay, let me give my honest rating...
Art style: Chef's kiss in my opinion. The design of the characters is pretty generic in comparison to the author's other stories. 4/5
Pacing: I mean pretty rushed, of course expected from a short story. I mean at least they gave us tiny explanations of the past. 3/5
Plot: Had so much potential, I would of liked the thug x prosecutor dynamic...besides that the plot was rushed. 2.5/5
Smut: My oh my but the was a bit of a turning point so 3/5
Ending: I mean the story ended on ambiguous terms but the ending was kinda buns so 1/5
Overall 2.7 rating, I feel like I've read plot like this before
I've read this manhwa like 3 times, and I totally understand why I've given this a high rating on my first read. In my perspective this manhwa definitely wasn't meant to be perceived as some "dark romance" of sorts, but I feel like it intended to capture the psychological depth and impact of abuse on victims, in this case Minho. Reading this was hard to stomach down, not even because of the rape but slowly noticing Minho breaking down and losing his sense of self staying with Wookyung. He became an alcoholic to numb himself from the emotional pain of his situation, while always constantly blaming himself for being in it, as he believed that money could buy his freedom. Something I also noticed with Wookyung was how he'd always feel sorry for Minho and try to "help make his life at ease" just to end up repeating the abuse. Even towards the end he was just as selfish as in the beginning by not letting Minho go, to which I find the ending to be even more heartbreaking. The realism of this story actually hurts dawg, my heart goes out for the people stuck in toxic cycles of abuse
Whenever I see Ml I feel like crying like bro reminds me of Hyunjae from no reason. That manhwa haunts my dreams
Dear future employers, I gave this manhwa a high rating because of the art style, PLEASE YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND
