katlovesfries's manga / #toxic parent(6)

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.

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!

I don't even know where to start with this one, but was not anything like I was expecting. My heart breaks for Tamaki with what he's been through, and what he has had to endure throughout his childhood. I was deeply saddened by it all, and the feeling never seemed to go away as I continued reading. Deals with a lot of issues, for sure, and it may not be for everyone.

I loved this very much. The characters' dynamic is so lovely throughout the story. Dowon's devotion to help Beom, while continuously showing his love and determination, is absolutely to die for. Both of them have detailed backstories that tie very well into the people have become. I love how Beom has a support system even though he's convinced that he needs to handle this on his own. At the same time, I love it when Dowon didn't pressure Beom into a relationship or into admitting his feelings.

This story manages to showcase mental heath issues so well, while also depicting the effects of a rough childhood and neglectful parents. It was so sad and satisfying at the same time, and the development and pacing was done beautifully. This story truly gives insight to so many topics, and I think some readers will find the characters relatable.

After having read the full story, I must say that this is a masterpiece. The story shows elements of historical accuracy, but also yearning, longing and desperation. This is a slow burn that is constructed beautifully with interesting plotlines that all keep the readers engaged, and has flawed characters that get their redemption and development respectively. I can't recommend it enough.
