This is terribly written period BL. It is clichéd and has a very predictable plot. I'm fairly certain that the main character will end up falling for the guy he supposedly wants to kill, and they will live happily ever after. That, or he decides that revenge is sweeter, and either one of them or both of them end up dead. There's not many ways this story can develop, as this is a BL webtoon. There is no room to expand on the universe of the story as it is severely limited by the nature of its genre. The art is alright, but I actually like Painter of the Night's style the best out of all these historical setting BLs. Although I don't particularly care for that series' storyline either. It went downhill pretty fast, just like this one undoubtedly will.
