Holy crap! This was amazing! First webtoon thriller that I’ve ever read?! I’m impressed by how deep the trauma runs in some of these characters: Jaeha, Yoseob, and Taeho. What I liked most was the twist where Jaeha was aware of Yoseob’s behavior and chose to continue feeding into it for selfish reasons. Obviously there was issues with how mental illness was presented but it is all fiction and I’m glad the author pointed this out, but I do think more research could’ve gone into this because of how heavy the subject was. Of course I cried like a baby at the end! It makes me so sad that the characters most affected by this situation ended up with the least happy endings. Jaeha died and Yoseob ending up hospitalized, his ending was bittersweet. He lives in his mind with Jaeha to cope.. he really just wanted to be loved, they both wanted to. It’s so sad, but I loved this!

Psycho (Young Dream) Webtoon

what the actual fuck. i really didn’t think i’d read another story like this: brotherly affection mistaken turned into obsessive possessive attachment (Uncomfortable Truth). I didn’t like the whole “and it was just a dream” but it somehow made it work? like the author acknowledged it was a dream and reinforced the theme into the ending. Too many twists for my liking, and as it progressed it became overly dramatized, as in some scenes and scenarios felt so unrealistic and obsecure it reminded me it was story, like those parts were comedic. All in all, not too bad, i actually binge read this, staying up to read it because it left you on the edge. For that, i say it was good, decent really, i sure love me my thrillers. thank you and goodnight!
