Bastard (hwang Youngchan)

Complete | Carnby Kim,Youngchan Hwang | 2015 released

SUMMARY [There is a serial killer in my house!] I've been sitting for a few moments to take everything in. This manhwa is fantastic. The plot is incredible, and it has so many plot twists that made me sit anxiously in my seat. The colour palette is perfect for the plot, and it makes everything seem even more disturbing. Jin's father is truly sick, twisted and manipulative, and it clearly shows many times, and I never would have guessed this to be the ending. One of the best manhwas I've ever read, and I definitely recommend!

Efforts Never Betray

Complete | Akpa (악파) | 2000 released

SUMMARY [Jae-kyung, who grew up under a perfectionist father, must keep first place in the entire school.] This was actually so sad to read. Jaekyung constantly not thinking he's good enough, and living in fear everyday of his father is truly heartbreaking. This Manhwa is a great example of the consequences of parents who have too many expectations of their children. The ending really sits with me - it really shows how much damage Jaekyung's father has done along with his mother leaving him when he was a child. Amazing but heartbreaking all at once.
